--- Quote from: Yossarian on 19 Mar 2008, 13:59 ---Except for one thing maybe: is it just me or are there a lot of sonic allusions to The Doors and Apocalypse Now? Beginning with track #5 Plastic and continuing through the rest of the album I have ongoing flashbacks to that effect. Be it the helicopter sounds or - more generally - some of the percussion and guitar work. And why did it take until now, for me to realize, that the name of track #10 is Magic Doors?!

Actually, I've been getting that a bit too. Especially with the silences in some of the songs, even though the tracks are anything but barren in layering, there is this almost building atmospheric restraint, if that's the right way to describe it.

For the record, I have a tonne of work at the moment and I was away from the internet for almost a week at Easter time.
I do plan to write a short piece explaining exactly why John Darnielle is one of the best singers currently going around in the rock/pop field, though.

Just a quick post to say thanks to tommy for introducing me to 'Sub Plot.' One of those albums that not only piqued my curiosity the first time around, but promises to reveal something new on every subsequent listen. Pure class. Thanks, pal.

I know this is a reference to something like four months back but I'd like to apologize for getting on Jeff's case about having Apparat over LCD Soundsystem on his best of 2007 list. Having just heard Walls, I would still have put Sound of Silver on top but now I can understand why he did not. What a great album.
Daft pun:
As far as I remember that entire album got boned by stupid tracks like "Holdon" and "Hailing form the edge". He's way better when he works with others (Orchestra of Bubbles anyone?) or does remixes.
