Resurgence is The Best release to come out of the Northwest
Pacific United States. It has twenty-nine bands on two cds for under twenty dollars U.S.
It is diverse in sounds and genres. It is harder in sound structures for those of you who
like the more "Industrial" thing, softer for the dark-wavey Gothic folks, and
blends in some excellent tribal-acid techno, as well as some neo-synth-pop too. The bands
listed on this CD are incredibly talented, and not to be missed! Overall rating from me:
Excellent!
Doppler Effect Records has done a
great service to the bands and fans of underground music by bringing you this release. It
is THE most
impressive collection of music I have heard to date.I tend to lean towards enjoying music
more in the veins of experimental-tribal-ambient-cultural, and
dark-industrial electronica composition -- but I tolerate much more. I found a number
of bands, if not all of them on this release to be SO GOOD, I am
going to check into them further and try to set up some interviews with them, and reviews,
so you too can get to know what gems lay hidden in the
underground of the Pacific Northwest of America.
You can read more about a number of
the bands on this release by clicking on the logo of the cover up at the top right of this
file. I think you will be amazed at the diversity in the list. If you don't order these
two CDs you are just not with it! The Pacific Northwest is bursting with new innovative
acts/music, and you can get a very good feel for who they are and how they sound with Resurgence.
I play it daily. Order this cd NOW.
(Note: If any of you who are on this cd are reading this, email me for an interview or to review your music...)
