having seen them in paris when i only heard a few songs by them, i was amazed at how good they are. then finally getting into them and now hearing a live album by them its awesome! what a great band. i havent seen many people mention them here, not fans?

Going back a fair way, I know. Even you posted there.

I should add, that since that thread - I've become very attached to El Cielo. One of my all-time faves.

A lesson in how to become a fan of a band in one hour:

Literally within the past hour I've done a bit of reading, checked out their website, listened to a few tracks, ordered some of their stuff AND 2 tshirts (the red owl one and the blue orchard one).

Hooray for dredg! Hooray for CardDinour! Hooray for Coma Divine! Hooray for ALL whose web names contain the initials C and D! Hooray for the Hevy Devy Forums!

I havent checked them out yet, but how the hell do you pronounce the name? 'dread-geh'?

As far as I know, it is "dredge", with a silent "e'.

There we go!
That "instant, freeze-dried, gimme-everything-at-once internet overload" phase of societal development that we appear to be mired in - does have it's positive side!

el cielo indeed is incredible...I got it in 2002 and it still amazes me. I'll have to check out the live CD too

I always thought it was pronounced 'dredge'.

I listened to these guys online and LOVE them.

Another album to add to the XMas list.

You won't regret it, a band I discovered for the first time this year and I was quite upset I waited so long!

They're pretty good. El Cielo is a damn fine slab of art rock although I think other bands have done better.

Don't just hint at it... name 'em! I'm always looking for new music.

as for stuff you might not have heard of: Aereogramme's new album and Seclusion EP. Khoma's album (ft. members of Cult of Luna!).

The Postman Syndrome. Minus the Bear... later Katatonia.

Then there's some mainstream and/or emo stuff that I just like more (The Mars Volta, Circa Survive, A Perfect Circle, Radiohead, Muse, Thrice - Vheissu)

That's about it... Aereogramme and Khoma were the main two though

postman syndrome are very good too!!!!!!!!

too bad they only did one album and the next one under Day Without Dawn is pretty below average

I choose not to take that as an insult.

You're right though... the speed with which one can access that which would otherwise be described as "art" is remarkable, for better or for worse.

I absorb, I assess, I pass personal judgement upon thee, all in the space of an instant. Welcome to the 21st Century, like it or not.

@ Noodles and CardDinour,

Thanks guys! I've followed Radiohead religiously for a decade (or seems like) but have lost interest in the past 18 months or so, enjoy The Mars Volta when the mood strikes, and Muse and A Perfect Circle are in my CD collection.

Will check the others out soon...
