by some savage and beautiful coincidence, THAT is THE D'Angelo song I like best off the album - even more amazingly, my gf chose it as the representative track on our playlist of the ILM albums poll! it is brilliant and strange. I also like the opener, Charade and Prayer. so that answers your question too, wins - we're not on track 6 this year but the first 10 seconds of track 1, then more if it sounds any good (like D'Angelo)

Yes, especially the track 'Variel' in all its Arabic Toyland 70s movie dream sequence-ness.
If you haven't checked out The Narrow Garden, then that's a must also.

can scarcely believe i'm saying this but that FFS is almost TOO progge - the bit that kicks in after the intro and returns at the end is awesome but there's a but too much (arch and intentional) noodling for me. might well investigate further
this TFUL album is the fucken nuts :D

'tuning notes' is where it leaps off the cliff and becomes a classic album maybe

I was thinking a little bit more today about those "difficult" pieces on MOAS. Although I appreciate the pared-down song-oriented tracklist someone posted in this (or the other) thread, the spacing of those tracks really helps with the sequencing and overall epic flow of the record.. I think that at the time there was some criticism of teh "practice room" pieces in the press but it was also kind of a statement of purpose by the band. At any rate, "Tuning Notes" has perversely become one of my fave tracks from that record as the years have gone by. It's just such a perfect window into their world, a distillation of the practice room experience.

apologies my man but that doesn't quite do it for me…a bit lol random w/o much in the way of memorable songwriting or sonic intrigue…but you are encouraged to keep chucking 'em down
― twunty fifteen (imago), Tuesday, 13 October 2015 10:57 (eight years ago) link
Vampillia are frustrating because they can be brilliant but can also be sort of irritating. I like that they're kind of multifaceted but their mix of sincerity and wanton goofball tendencies don't really gel. I have to say that personally I think Ice Fist is a great track though.
They remind me a lot of another band from Japan, Mutyumu, who came a bit before. They're less polished but more refined if that makes sense.
One of their "pop" songs

They had/have some more black metal-tinged material as well. It might be worth pointing out that I despise opera but for some reason I like the voice in this context.

Thanks UUG, never heard of those guys. A couple of friends and I have just started a little radio show playing non mainstream music from Japan, from the last few decades, it's been fun researching lot's of different crazy bands to play.
