| | The Mars Volta: Tremulant EP: Pitchfork Review |
 | | If the album sucked, paying seven dollars for three tracks would make it suck so much harder, and even if it were really good-- $2.33 per song good-- three tracks would just be a tease. | | | The guitar interaction in these tripped-out effect-storms is often interesting and complex, and they're actually just fine within the scope of this EP, but they could easily drain all the vitality from the EP if it weren't for Jon Theodore's absolutely stellar drum work. | | | But, as the old saying goes, "A fool and his money are soon parted for the new Tremulant EP by The Mars Volta." As I put down the greenbacks, these guys-- including Cedric Bixler and Omar Rodriguez of At the Drive-In fame-- instantly had one strike against them. |

| | Bruce Dickinson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | With the release of Tyranny of Souls, Dickinson's back catalogue was reissued with a bonus disc of extra tracks for each album except The Chemical Wedding and the two live albums, the latter of which were packaged together in a three-disc set. | | | Scream for Me Brazil was a live album that documented a show of the Chemical Wedding tour, and featured songs from the last two albums and two from Balls to Picasso. | | | Much of the writing was done by Roy sending recordings of riffs to Dickinson which he wrote lyrics and melodies for while on tour. |

| | All up, this is a release that all fans of Tristania and dark Gothic Metal will want to get their hands on (even if you already have the ep tracks three times!). | | | Tristania fans will also know that three of the four MWT ep made it onto the bands 1998 debut Widows Weeds and two of the Angina ep tracks appeared on 1999s Beyond the Veil. | | | As a band, Tristania are not the most visual of metal acts, but then again this is far from party music. |

| | Hear/Say: America's College Music Magazine - Features - Articles - Service with a smile: Digging in with the Disco Biscuits |
| | One of the primary goals of the summer's intense rehearsal schedule was to prepare 10 new songs for the band's Fall tour, which runs through September with sporadic dates and mini-outings up through New Year's Eve. | | | Through that first year of the Biscuits' existence, the band members concentrated on building an original songbook (documented on 1996's Encephalous Crime), gradually weaning themselves off of the usual array of tunes by the likes of Frank Zappa, The Allman Brothers Band, The Grateful Dead and Phish. | | | Where pieces like The Who's Tommy rely on an arc borrowed from traditional theater, rock trying to legitimize itself, The Biscuits' rock operas -- especially Gutwillig's Hot Air Balloon -- bring together three important forms in a way that haven't been combined much before: popular theater, rock improvisation, and classical composition. |

| | The Rolling Stones Fanclub SHATTERED |
| | The Stones undertook yet another mini-British tour in March 1965, and engineer Glyn Johns recorded the mayhem on a three-track tape recorder - one for Mick, another for the band and a third from a single mike dangling from a balcony on a length of cable on three separate nights, at Edmonton, Liverpool and Manchester. | | | But EPs could also hold their own as separate and individual items, and the Beatles EPs are as essential to Beatles collectors as the three Stones ones are. | | | The three Stones EPs with their picture sleeves are amongst my most treasured possessions, relics of a bygone age when 45 rpm single cost 6s/8d (pre-decimilisation days here!) and an EP (extended play), which usually contained four tracks, 12s/6d. |

| | The Mars Volta: Tremulant - PopMatters Music Review |
| | Sometimes the results were so jarring that it sounded as though two songs were duking it out in the space of three minutes. | | | But it's quite clear from the Tremulant EP that Bixler and Rodriguez, who essentially forced At the Drive-In's premature end by walking out on the band, are not content to stay within the rock's rigid confines. | | | Despite all its keyboard flourishes and arty nuances, Relationship of Command was still very much tethered to the basic rock 'n' roll paradigm: 4/4 time, throat-shredding screams, and guitar, guitar, guitar. |

| | Reviews :: Miniviews |
| | Most EP's of this sort open with an obvious single, follow with a would-be single that's only good enough to make b-side and close with a throwaway track or three. | | | The band plays around with synths, sampling, distortion and whatnot, records it and sticks it at the end of the EP. | | | But "Cataract," track two on Austere, is a clear album cut. |

| | Tristania, MP3 Music Download at eMusic |
| | First coming together in 1996, Tristania took the uncommon step of showcasing three separate vocalists of wildly divergent styles to represent their lyrics, these being operatic soprano Vibeke Stene, clean-singing counter-tenor Østen Bergøy, and harsh, black metal-style shrieker Morten Veland. | | | Tristania's eponymous EP was released in 1997, and further albums such as Widow's Weeds (1998) and Beyond the Veil (1999), as well as the Angina EP followed in quick succession, and always through Austria's Napalm label. | | | Regarded as one of the world's premiere goth metal bands, Norway's Tristania have earned their reputation through risk-taking creativity, unquestionable talent, and perhaps more than anything else, an impressive consistency from release to release. |

| | Sydney's Wolfmother take the title for this year and although their full-length won't be unleashed until 2005, their self-titled EP is enough evidence in leading us to believe that the hype won't be too far away. | | | After all, any band that has jammed for three years, plays their first gig in 2004 and is signed a couple of months later has to have something going for them. | | | Its seven-minute proportion is full of dragged out guitars and a sonic boom that all rock followers will place on their mantle piece. |

| | MARS VOLTA Tremulant EP |
| | Incorporating all kinds of estrangement-effects and soundcollages is a good step, but still the three songs on this rather long EP sound somewhat put together arbitrarily. | | | Mars Volta have yet to find a musical style that makes them unique. | | | The vocals are always echoed and mixed into the background and the guitars sound slightly muted, which produces an effect not unlike swimming underwater. |

| | Cocteau Twins |
| | A burst of creativity followed, as the Twins issued three separate EPs -- Aikea-Guinea, Tiny Dynamine, and Echoes in a Shallow Bay -- in 1985, trailed a year later by the acoustic Victorialand album, the Love's Easy Tears EP and The Moon and the Melodies, a collaborative effort with minimalist composer Harold Budd. | | | In late 1983, ex-Drowning Craze bassist Simon Raymonde joined the band to record the EP The Spangle Maker; as time wore on, Raymonde became an increasingly essential component of the Cocteau Twins, gradually assuming an active role as a writer, arranger, and producer. | | | Shortly after the release of the Peppermint Pig EP, Heggie left the group, and Guthrie and Fraser cut 1983's Head Over Heels as a duo; nonetheless, the album largely perfected the Cocteaus' gauzy formula, and established the foundation from which the group would continue to work for the duration of its career. |

| | Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Anti [EP] - Autechre at Epinions.com |
| | The Anti EP continues to stand as the most innovative approach to musical political protest that I have yet seen, due entirely to the inventiveness of its final track. | | | The vinyl version of the song even advertised that the song could be played at 33 or 45RPM without fear of repercussion--my guess is that the CD ended up with the 45RPM version, though I can't say that with any sort of authority, just as a hypothesis based on its quick pace. | | | Orbital released a remix of the epic "Are We Here?" called the "Criminal Justice Bill Mix", which consisted entirely of four minutes of silence (a bit of a tribute to John Cage there as well, I'd think). |

| | To date Wolfmother has only released a four track EP, but the three piece rockers' concoction of Sabbath, Zeppelin and retro/nowtro broth has won them many fans in a relatively short space of time. | | | An executive decision was made … to invest in pyramid marketing schemes of Wolfmother, whereby fortunate souls could invest in 30 thousand Wolfmother EP's to then be granted (with the once in a lifetime opportunity) to buy two more for the price of one. | | | While there, the band had discussions with record producers, hoping to make a connection with a suitable someone, willing and able to take the controls when the recording of their debut album begins in April. |
