SID€SHOW 2

by Louis "Louison" de Mieulle

TheEliteExtremophile Sid€show 2 continues in the same vein as its predecessor, with some notable changes. This record feels starker and colder than last year’s Side$how, and I like the continuity between these two albums.

about

“Icy tones. Especially of note here is de Mieulle’s bass tone. It’s a crunchy, biting tone, and this tonal aggression fits the darker mood of Sid€show 2. [...] The individual instruments seem to be working around one another, rather than together. This observation isn’t a complaint, though, as that approach is effective at enhancing the mood.” (The Elite Extremophile)

Circus freak-jazz reverie interpolating emotional counterpoints, ambient synth-hop, and disjointed dissonant riffs.

This second Sid€show concept album tells the story of a tormented Two-Headed Kid, a bellicose Giant Fly, and an adorable Dwarf Elephant.
The intermission act presents the classic crowd-pleaser Bed of Snails.

The two keyboardists alternate dreamy and nightmarish soundscapes over steady yet intricate drum/bass loops.
Four musicians improvising live arrangements of character pieces.

Another chapter in Louis' post-Canterbury neoclassical fusion.

This is my brother Cas' tour-de-force album. A mammoth project pushing the limits of math-jazz fusion. A journey into Cas' psyche. I also brought the tune "Stasis" aka "Mes Choux Gras" aka "Giant Fly" Louis "Louison" de Mieulle

The Call Within
by Tigran Hamasyan

supported by 12 fans who also own “SID€SHOW 2”

Tigran created a graceful album that feels like the story of the universe is unfolding in front of you. Equally gripping and carefree, it's a solid and fulfilling experience. Pacing's pretty neat, plus the way musicians play brings another layer of stylish personality and class. Compositions are astoundingly beautiful and can be super catchy or quite melancholic, showing how much of a pristine vibe the range of emotions on this project is. Those strong melodies regularly come back in my mind. SUPRAQUENCER

No one does music quite like Camille and Xavier do. I see their music as being akin to soundtracks for unfilmed movies. In this instance it is a movie about explorers of mountainous terrain, perhaps the terrain of our lives. Merci pour cette musique si intrigante. :-) sumbuk
