PLEASE ignore the first track

Seriously. Judging this album by its bizarre first track would be a massive mistake. Oh, and before I forget, this post is a continuation of the music dump I promised back in July but never actually delivered. This would be the second of the three bands I said I would feature. Now that we've got that out of the way...

Cool Cavemen is a French funk-rock fusion group that, on their latest album "Multipolar", decided to dabble in a little funk-metal as well. The production values are high, the rhythms are contagious, the lyrics are hilarious. I simply cannot recommend this band highly enough. That's why I will be very disappointed if you judge them by the uber-silly first track of the posted album. I might even be upset enough to hunt you down and bludgeon you with a giraffe. I wouldn't actually be able to do that, but I might be upset enough to want to. But I digress.

There's just a few things I need to get out in closing. First: Cool Cavemen has bilingual French and English vocals, though they won't usually have both on a song. It's one or the other. Second: this album, just like most things on this blog, can be downloaded free of charge, courtesy of the artist. (There's a button marked "download" on the player. It's not rocket science people!)

Well, that's it for the second part of the music dump. In a few days (depending on my internet) I should have the third part up as well. Until then!

About my absence...

I feel the need to explain why I haven't posted anything lately, after promising more frequent updates. Plain and simple, my internet keeps going down whenever I try and do anything. For a while, I couldn't even load the blog, let alone post to it. I just wanted to get this out there before my internet fails again. There will be no music posted today, but I'll see if the internet will be stable enough for that tomorrow. I guess I'll keep my fingers crossed...

Music dump time!

Well, I'm back from Cali'. Actually, I've been back for a good while. I really don't have a good excuse as to why I haven't posted recently, so to make up for that this post (and the next few) will contain the music dump I promised last time. None of these artists are particularly new, but they are well worth your time if you're interested. I'd go so far as to say these three bands create some of the greatest free music on the internet. Paying attention yet? Good. Let's begin.

PeerGynt Lobogris is a Spanish music act that, to use an obnoxious cliche, refuses to be defined by genres. I hate the "beyond genre/classification" cliche because most reviewers use it incorrectly. It's a lazy way of saying that the reviewer him/herself doesn't know the genre the band belongs to. However, PeerGynt Lobogris actually is one of those bands that can't be given a specific genre. The band's musical repertoire is so frickin' eclectic that you need quite a few genres to label them. It's not even that they bend or blend genres. One song on an album could be new age easy listening music. The next song could be thrash metal. The song after that may sound like a funky Santana. If I didn't know better, I'd think that several different bands were responsible for each of PeerGynt Lobogris' albums. It's absolutely nuts. To generalize broadly, PeerGynt Lobogris plays elevator-worthy new age, metal, and Santana-esque riff-fests. The band has been around since 1997, and they are quite prolific to say the least. The album I have here is a sort of greatest hits deal, but it's only 13 songs to cover well over 100 songs in their discography. It barely even scratches the surface of what they have to offer.
