"I love this CD because it defies categorization. There is a lot going on in their overtracked world from the aggressive ambient textures of David Torn to the angular but catchy riffs of Trey Gunn to the dark world of gothic dance music. It is mostly instrumental, all dark, all very avant garde, and very impressive from a bunch of guys who couldn't even legally buy a beer." Not as drastic as their later records but certainly nothing "normal."

Toe is a beautiful math rock group that plays tunes that are complex and gorgeous. Their drummer is excellent and the arrangements of the songs are very interesting. This is a great EP and just a very relaxing listen.

In honor of my going to see Melt Banana tomorrow evening I decided to put up their new LP. It is kind of a poppy less abrasive MB but it still retains some excellent guitar work and bizarre soundscapes. A solid noise rock album from one of the best in the genre.

"Math rock that covers all of the basics - spazzy, technically impressive, energetic & jazzy - and then ups the ante by playing their instruments distortion-less. "

Ian MacKaye's post-Fugazi gig's second release is a dizzying assortment of baritone guitar and odd percussion. The political edge is there and so is MacKaye's fervor. Genre, I suppose would be "folk" but basically this is just a relaxing, excellent, political record.
