"Blank - El Cielo"

Just ordered this Dredg album, for pretty cheap off Amazon.

I wait with much anticipation.

Ah, any. I didn't listen to them all anyway.

Totally forgot I even asked that.

Cheers, I'll have a ganer tomorrow.
Which to download first?

This guy seems to have all five up for download.

Please do, I need more.

I could find the address if you fancy downloading the tracks yourself.

Kewl. Have to wait and see.

I heard Jamais Vu, Tanbark, and some of C-shells (or Planting Seeds) yesterday. Downloaded some live MP3s onto the college server. Jamais Vu sounds really beautiful during the first part and then moves into an El Cielo-style chorus. Tanbark much more fits the description of "like El Cielo but with some of the energy from Leitmotif". It's a much quicker song, really fast drum beat to start with that I was a little uncertain about, but it settles down into a really good rhythm - the drums are constant but the guitar parts have gaps in. Sounded really good. I didn't manage to listen to all of C-shells, only about a minute and a half, and from what I heard it sounded like a much more ambient track than the rest. But I don't think I even reached the chorus. Oh, and the ending of Tanbark was hilarious.

I'm not going to listen to them again, I want it to still be a fresh experience when I get the album. I didn't intend to listen to them at all, but they were there and I had an hour or so to fill....

From traversing.cjb.net (nice little dredg site):

jamais vu, n.: The illusion or impression of never having experienced something that has actually been experienced many times before (contrary of deja vu)

There's a condition in epilepsy called jamais vu which means, literally, "never seen." It's the opposite of déjà vu; what happens here is that, when the sufferer comes round after a seizure, the whole world is new. He or she has, or so it seems, never seen any of it before.

Lyrics to the song:

I look to the sky, saw my body die
Gotta reappear up there, to where I want to be, in her university
I found, I found, my own college
I found, I found, a way to resolve this

I’m not inside you, you're all around me
Is this what you needed to have...to comfort you
I waited all this time without you

Is this what you wanted
Is this what you need me to feel
Take all that I know
Is this what you wanted
Is this what you need me to bear
Take all that I found

I’m not inside you, you're all around me
Is this what you needed to have...to comfort you
I waited all this time without you

Look to the ground, its plants are full of life
Gotta reappear up there, it's where I want to be, in her university
I found, I found, a way to resolve this
I found, I found, a way through the problems

I’m not inside you, you're all around me
Is this what you needed to have...to comfort you
I waited all this time without you

Looks like I'll be off for the lyrics after all....:)

If it's 'never seen' full stop, then everything new to you is jamais vu...
