Link to the Show / Show NotesWelcome to week 3 of Listeners Month. This week Marcus Smith of the indie band Audiomatron is picking the tracks for us. I did have to fudge one song though, as he picked too many Pride & Fall tracks! We can make a good guess at who his favorite band is! Plus he decided to be unreachable for the past few days. No matter, we can improvise!
Audiomatron - I Want To Be A Robot
First we start out with Marcus' band Audiomatron. Fairly polished for a demo, it shows some definate promise. I'd have shortened this one down by a minute or so though.
Funker Vogt - Tragic Hero (APB)
Ah Funker Vogt from back in the day when we were only just suspecting that they only had one song and were going to recycle it over and over. I still quite like Tragic Hero, it's probably in my top 2 Funker Vogt tracks.
Rotersand - Exterminate Annihilate Destroy
I certainly can't resist a song that samples a very early Dalek story from Doctor Who. I especially like how as the song progresses they sing the song title more and more manic, as a Dalek would. God imagine that. A singing Dalek. Shudder.
Mesh - Crash
We still o0nly have 1 single for the latest Mesh album, and I'm jonesing for more. Easily the best track on the album though.
Reactivate - Waiting For The Night (MR)
Here's a band I bet that Marcus first heard on RSA. I still maintain that since this only came out in December on some Polish label, and it's only available in Europe that it's obscure.
Informatik - The World Belongs To Us
Man, I like David Din's vocals. I really do. But when he tries to hit really low notes it sounds utterly comical. Like truly bad goth.
Pride & Fall - December
I actually like Pride & Fall a fair bit, and after softening on thier latest disc I'm not sure which of thier 2 CDs I like better. December is probably my favorite song though.
XP8 - Escape Velocity
...and we end off with a band that until recently was indie as well. Glad to see that XP8 have a record out on a label, but I hope they never try to cover Nitzer Ebb again.
