Customer Reviews:
Extreme Beauty.......2005-07-28
One of last decade's most intriguing bands,Ultrasound imploded after only one álbum and an EP but left behind a marked willingness to push the envelope and expand the concept of song structure while rarely giving up on their exquisite melodic instincts.
Consequently we have side by side noisy progressions("Cross my Heart") and perfect pop songs("Aire&Calder"),power chord rockers to match Suede("Fame Thing") and what's possibly the most abrasive song ever committed to tape(the 40 minute long title track).
Extreme yet for the most part tuneful Ultrasound deserve to be remembered and rediscovered.
a (beautiful) whirl of distortion.......2000-11-06
Ultrasound managed to make a record which is at the same time cacophonous and tuneful. I'll try to make myself clear: I take it for granted that you know my bloody valentine (otherwise you wouldn't have made this far...). Well, their trademark, as you know, are the distorted guitars. Here too they take the lion's share but the songs are considerably longer and they build up slowly (while my bloody valentine plunges you amids the action right from the outset). Besides "Everything Picture" isn't as racous and disturbing as MBV, the music is more "tuneful", and the overall atmosphere, depite being as noisy, is more psychedelic... This record is likely to leave your ears shredded and (simultaneously) your mind numbed.
Gary Glitter's Gone to Seed, So Who Will Save Us Now?.......1999-12-19
Yet another of my purchases on a whim. This neo-psychedelic shoegazing band puts out a sonically beautiful noise that is at times early Floyd, white album Beatles, and even early 90's shoegazers like Ride and My Bloody Valentine. One should check out this limited version, as it contains extra songs, the full twenty-minute version of the title song (with a Revolution 9-like ending), and a hauntingly beautiful rendition of Best Wishes (a single of theirs from a few years ago). Other strong songs include the singles Aire & Calder, Stay Young (this review's title comes from it), Same Band, and Floodlit World.
An Epic Rock Record.......1999-08-07
I wholeheartedly recommend this album for anyone who craves long, patiently developed rock songs, diverse instrumentation, and music made to be listened to as a whole album, not merely as a collection of songs. While not absolutely genius, there is a definite talent at work here, and will certainly satisfy fans of prog-influenced modern rock. It reminds me a lot of 'Dark Side Of The Moon', only less focused.
If you enjoy this, I recommend Mansun's 'Six' (Import version, preferably), and Radiohead's 'OK Computer'. If you already own and love these two records, then you would do well to get 'Everything Picture.'
