Which version of MATS do you prefer?

Of Skins and Heart, what genre?

feeds@kickapps.com (chrome3D) — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 21:12:52 PST

If you had to choose one genre that defines what Of Skins And Heart is then what it is? It is unlikely that all songs belong to this one genre but only one can be chosen.

I don´t usually think about strict genre definitions when listening to music but it´s just intriguing how this album is portrayed in different sites with various ways.

Operetta EP

feeds@kickapps.com (chrome3D) — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 22:39:43 PST

1. Operetta
2. Silhouette In Meltdown
3. Moon Hangs In Black
4. Particles Matter (instrumental)

--------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Operetta was the song I played the most in 2009. It was the soul song of the year. Silky smooth and gentle. Loved it straight away and I still do. A perfect choice for a "single". 5/5

2. Perhaps a little bit too "straight" song for the kaleidoscope that was U#23. A simple big wave of a riff to drive most of the song. No good for the album but perfect for a b-side! Layers and layers of guitars and stuff for the headphone experience. A full song but still a page from the sketchbook. SK wanders around the land of unicorns,ancient romans, aliens and 666 zeros in a free talking rap-style, not concerned if every line fits perfectly. 3,5/5...

Coffee Hounds EP

feeds@kickapps.com (another earth) — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 21:43:02 PST

Unless I completely missed it, there isn't a thread for this yet. Anyway, I finally got this just the other day, and wow! "The Coffee Song" is an outstanding piece of work, definitely The Church at their psychedelic best! The guitars remind me of an extended version of that all-too-short guitar solo at the end of "Get Over It" on the Refo:mation album. And Steve's delivery is also quite dreamy. It was worth the import price for that song, alone, but to be treated to an extended instrumental version at the end is even better - it's an outstanding track with and without words! Nice, smooth, ethereal song. (I also love the fact that The Church made a song about my favorite beverage!) As for "The Hounds of Love", I'm not familiar with the Kate Bush version, but they definitely give it a nice treatment. I really think this is an essential recording for Church fans. I can't get enough of it!

This is The Church

feeds@kickapps.com (strangefruit1) — Sun, 10 May 2009 14:52:07 PST

I wanted to spend a little more time on praising this master work

Here is some excerpts, there's no mistaking, that's The Church!!!!!!

Cobalt Blue

Desert wind in a telephone box
Dial my numbers up
Picks my locks
Picks his kind
To go and mingle in my mind

Deadman's Hand

On our way to crush the revolution
Camp by a lake in the blackened lands
Dealing out love and retribution
Dealing out the deadman's hand
We've all known the pain
And we're all gonna hurt again and again

Pangaea

I got my hand on my heart
I got my heart on my mind (we've drifted apart)
I gotta jump on the clock
I gotta find me some time

Happenstance

When the distant charge of love is felt [0:05]
And the fruit is heavy on the vine
Rivers...

Untitled #23

feeds@kickapps.com (GrantleyBuffalo) — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 23:30:42 PST

(Artwork to be confirmed)

The new album will soon be available to everyone, so I thought "what better time to create a thread for it?". This is a slightly-altered copy'n'paste job of my review from the 'Myths You Made' thread...

First impressions: after several listens now, I am of the opinion that this album is very, very good. As usual Also as usual, it's going to take many more listens for it all to sink in. It's probably one of the most 'adventurous' Church albums to date, with no song standing out as a "potential pop hit" (not that that's a bad thing), and so many bits of subtle sonic trickery to explore.

Pangaea EP

feeds@kickapps.com (Transylvanian Vlach) — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 22:04:37 PST

So Love may Find Us

String trio orientation {Guitar, cello & keys}
[0.40]

I'm feeling uneasy

And I'm feeling weird

Everything's coming down the line

Exactly as I feared

Nobody helps me

And nobody knows

Nobody left in this city

Drums and Bells: A song by song tribute to The Church

feeds@kickapps.com (chrome3D) — Sat, 03 Jan 2009 20:55:49 PST

ALL OF THESE REVIEWS ARE FOUND FROM THIS BLOG: http://www.drumsandbells.blogspot.com/

I want to start a topic about every song The Church has ever recorded inspired by this blog. Instead of me just doing my own kind of interpretations of every song it would be great if someone else reviewed songs too. I´ve already had somebody to volunteer to do Kings but that song is still really far away. Whatever kind of reviews would be okay: playing, lyrics, importance of the song, gigmemories, what you were doing when you heard it etc. I don´t wish to give any certain rules to the topic, just that it would be better if someone doesn´t review songs back to back. Unless...

Anthem X lyrics

feeds@kickapps.com (oxydental) — Sun, 06 Apr 2008 08:47:45 PST

I love this song and looked at the lyrics on the discography site. I have some suggestions for changes and have pasted below my best shot after countless listens. If you like this song and the lyrics, please take another listen and let me know what you think!

According to evidence

We are descended from god's magnificence/effervescence

The holy world, a diamond tower/Sidon and Tyre

We are the sirens of this ruined lyre

Oh you fools glow...

feeds@kickapps.com (Kanji11) — Fri, 08 Feb 2008 22:11:23 PST

This song is odd....its has the lines "wish I knew what you were looking for"; is this song the cousin of Under the Milky Way? Is there anything else in common that this song has with UTMW? Or is it just coincidence? This has always...driven me nuts with curiosity...

song to go...

feeds@kickapps.com (logiclust) — Mon, 18 Jun 2007 21:06:51 PST

what is said during the vocoded bit? [2:35]
i've got:
i hope somebody listened
and heard another world
pure rays of the better waves they were
catching a song
a song about the night time (mountain?)
a song about a day
about a song about another day (one, world?)
with a little delay

italicized are the iffy parts
i'm thinking 'better waves' as in reference to sound pressure waves and catching a song like you would a wave if surfing. i also think the end bit is about their songs about songs and the making of songs, thinking back to their other recording process references (pot = pan, jangled decades, foot down on the oscillation pedal...).

thoughts?

feeds@kickapps.com (chrome3D) — Mon, 07 May 2007 10:46:23 PST

Listening to OSAH I was thinking in some parts if there is influences from Black Sabbath. There it is in the middle of the book: Tony Iommi and his menacing guitar.

Funny how SK thinks here that Beatles started about every genre of rock. Is it really so?
