This may not interest many people here but i love it so much i thought id make a thread anyway.

two of doom-drone music's leading banRAB, Sunn O))) and Boris, have teamed to up to record an album TOGETHER. yup... this is not a split, its a full-on collaboration, and it is IMO both band's best work to date.

I managed to get hold of the limited bonus version which includes and extra CD of a 23min epic collaboration of both banRAB, plus Doom-giants Earth. Not only is this one of the best albums of the year, i think it will become a defining album of the genre.

of COURSE theres a pretentious element to it, like alot of experimental music... the whole idea behind it is to use music and ideas that have never been used before.

But who cares? if you're as innovative as Sunn O))) & Boris (and although its hard to tell on record, these guys are very talented) then you're allowed to be pretentious IMO!

The appeal is the atmosphere.. the fact that this music can make you feel like your floating in space and trapped inside a dark vibrating box at the same time.
 
well that all depenRAB on the definition of music. id say 'music' is anything you enjoy listening to... which, for me, is this album. Wikipedia agrees.
 
That's because you don't listen to good music.

The concept behind what they do is extraordinary. Sunn O))) defines bleak, dark, depressing, painful music. And it's all so beautiful


EDITL: I have no idea how my post ended up here. I'm kinda scared now.
 
I got that one Boris album in the email upload thing. It kinda just confused me, it did not make sense at all; its deleated now. I assume Sunn O))) is simmilar to this as well?
 
Boris's album Pink is at the opposite end of the spectrum compared to this collab, Muzak. Way, way more energetic. I actually rate Pink as one of the most all out assaults I've ever heard.
 
..lol... pretentious.. its the same thing as sigur ross only bass, and you posted the exact same thing in the other sunno)) thread, and this a boris/sunnO))) collab
