Farin Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 one final nomination: Mirrored ~ Battles Track listing 1. "Race:In" – 4:50 2. "Atlas" – 7:07 3. "Ddiamondd" – 2:33 4. "Tonto" – 7:43 5. "Leyendecker" – 2:48 6. "Rainbow" – 8:11 7. "Bad Trails" – 5:18 8. "Prismism" – 0:52 9. "Snare Hangar" – 1:58 10. "Tij" – 7:03 11. "Race:Out" – 3:29 12. "Katoman" - 2:08 (Japanese Bonus Track) It's official: in 2007, it's all come full circle. Prog rock has made its way into the indie scene. Battles' Mirrored, their debut full-length after three EPs, makes that plain. [...] But this music is anything but dark. It's insistent, playful, and planned down to the distorted bass loop and pulsing guitar and keyboard notes that are layered on top in single- or double-note formations. Indeed, Mirrored is the place -- the very terrain -- where nerd science meets rock, and it's a gas. It's the amalgam of "merry melodies" that grabs the listener, even to the point of forgetting how many different arrays of percussion and electric string and keyboard instruments are being played on each and every tune. [...] It's loud, funny, and astonishingly sophisticated, and doesn't feel pretentious in the least. Never has the wall of electronic futurism sounded so organic or musical. The album's many influences offer only guide posts, as Battles have their own unique image of a sound universe that one can play in as well as be awed by.

Viaene Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 (edited) * Each edition will about 3 weeks. At the end of that time, we'll ask you to vote. You know how that works! These lists will number 5, so we'll ask that you compile your list of 5 choices for the final Songfactor's Music of Choice. We will tally them, just like The Songfactors' Choice Top Ten, 1 through 5. At the close of voting, we will have our Songfactors' Music of Choice. 5 Edited January 16, 2008 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skybluesky Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Now looking at all the nominees, Easy Tiger would not make my top 5, but I promised I'd vote for it, so there it is. I wasn't gonna hold you to that. I think it's Ryan's best so far, but that's me. I'm more shocked by a certain lizard's omission. No love for Meg?
