Kinda slow, but interesting/weird sound.

I decided to participate in the Wikipedia names your band (and album cover) game which directs you through randomizing sources for your fake album cover. And them you mash them up using Photoshop, or in my case, GIMP. All fun and games until Vic required me to make the music to go along with the art. This is almost what I had in mind, download the music here: Svibice – 511 Vibrations Per Second

[The song is hyper fast, 160 BPM is fast for me, with distorted bass and waves of fuzzy guitars. Chanty cut up drone vocal.]

Mid tempo Electronic tune. Typically bleapy. Neat use of sliding EQ near the begining (If I can be immodest enough to use the word neat describing my own work). I’m pretty sure this was done 100% in Jeskola Buzz. Weird slow-mo dream sequence near the end. I’d like your opinions.

    Oddly transfixing. This guy kinda reminds me of Zappa.

    Chocolate Rain
    Some stay dry and others feel the pain
    Chocolate Rain
    A baby born will die before the sin

    Chocolate Rain
    The school books say it can’t be here again
    Chocolate Rain
    The prisons make you wonder where it went

I’m hooked. Their album “Momento Mori”, as MP3s, is a free download from the band, either all in one ZIP or individually. They have a bunch of videos on YouTube.

He tells the crowd, “You can keep on talking, I’ve only got 20 minutes. Or I can turn up the music. I can turn it up so loud it will hurt. Do you want me to turn it up? Do you want me to make it hurt?” (rough paraphrase). How awkward.” (Link) (Via Boing Boing)
