'Float' is a noisy, slow and experimental piece. Experimental because of the "rain drop" effects/filters they have used here and there, something I have never heard before. Noisy because after a pretty silent start, it turns into a complete concrete wall of sounds. The electric guitars, the drums, the bass. It sounds like everything but the bass is plugged into every possible effect box they could find. Slow because the both the music and the vocals are dronish, dreamy and somewhat monotone. We are talking music based around repetition, minima and droning, and at the same time, they have left most of the standard verse/chorus parts behind in order to reach the main goal; to create a common whole with their music. A cacophonous wall of sound without a fixed beginning or end, where no distinct and prominent features are supposed to sound separated from each other.

'A Most Enjoyable Day', on the other hand, is fantastic! Amazing! Beautiful! Yes, it is completely and totally brilliant! So perfect. So professional that I am stunned. Mouth open, eyes closed, on my back on the floor (sounds like a great piece of lyrics, doesn't it?) I can't help but laugh. It generates that euphoric feeling inside me! Like the first time I heard Slowdive (my favourite band in the whole world, ever). I am not saying that they sound like Slowdive, only that this song recreates that very feeling I had when I first heard them. What I do think of, when I hear this, and when it comes to the vocals, is early early Ride. Dreamy, clear and beautiful male vocals that are "out there somewhere" on top of the distorted electric guitar-wall that moves throughout the whole song from the start to the end like a red thread. It is guitar-walls like these that can make me cry out of sheer and utter pleasure, and I am not ashamed to admit it. It is just so surprising to find such a professional sounding song here, right after the somewhat experimental 'Float'! The music and the vocals here.. it all just sounds so great together!

The first thing that comes to your mind when thinking about music from Brazil is not exactly floating, dreamy and compact guitar-walls together with echo-filled, eerie vocals is it? Well, it is time to think again, because that is exactly what we have here.

The base is made out of beautiful, powerful, roaring, heavily distorted, thundering drone electric guitars that makes me want to bite my teeth and scream. A castle would not have enough walls to satisfy these guitars.

Sometimes we hear them together with lonely, alarming guitars with the one goal to join the roaring ones, warning them about the forthcoming day of doom and destruction. 'Shadows Crying' and 'I Am So Tired' are perfect examples. The last one of them being my personal favourite song on the tape, even tough the vocals there are not very pleasant, the music, the alarming electric guitar, the distorted wall-of-doom guitars... it is just immeasurably gorgeous.

Sometimes we hear them together with swirly, jangly, and a lot happier guitars watching the sunrise on a beautiful summer morning. Examples of this can be found in 'Nabo Is Dead', 'Curfew', which is fantastic, both music and vocals, and I just have to mention the end of 'Mrs. D.', which is utterly and totally mind bogglingly a wonder in itself! Distorted electric guitar walls behind a single and lonely, echoing and whining electric guitar.

Over these walls of sound climbs single, desolate, monotone and sad male vocals, revealing the story that lies behind each and every tone, expressing deepest regrets, and happy moments. Heavy echo effects makes them float on top of the heavily distorted electric guitars. As if they were outside the room. Untouchable and unreachable.

The other songs, 'Some Drops of Sugar In My Heart' and 'I Can't Stop To Smile' for example, are still filled with dreamy, monotone and dronish vocals, but instead of electric guitar-walls, there are gorgeous acoustic guitars, sending shivers down my back. They are simply that fantastic. They kind of remind me of Antonio Banderas in Desperado, you know, at the beginning of the movie. Especially 'Some Drops..' which is full of pick guitars, and it sounds fantastic!

Two songs on the tape made me snap out of my dream world, because I am almost positive that I have heard them before. 'Shadows Crying' which sounds like a Front Line Assembly, Ministry or Front 242 song (I can't say which one for certain, because I don't have any of their records), and 'That's Enough' which sounds like U2. Though I am only talking about the music, and not the vocals.

Country Love Song is almost exactly what the title says. A slow, country beat with a fiddle, an organ and an acoustic guitar make out the country part. Almost exactly, you now ask? Well, it is because the lyrics do not really make out a love song in the normal sense. They are more in the ironic "I'm glad that it is over" area.

Friday Night Alone starts out with a carnival feeling through the organ, single guitar and a basic drum beat. When the fiddle joins in, it all moves towards country again. I have to mention the vocals here though, because it sounds somewhat like a mix between J. Mascis and Tom Petty - that is to say that it sounds great!

If you're looking for the track with the most rock sound, then you better tune in Drive To Memphis. I'd say that this is basic rock, actually with a feeling of Tom Petty, not only because of the similar vocals and backing vocals.

Missing You (The Spleen Song) actually has a true story behind it involving an accident and a removal of a spleen! It is actually a love song, for the lost spleen.. Fiddle, organ, electric guitar and a basic drum beat, somewhat like before, but it sounds a hell of a lot better than the the rest. The lyrics sounds so honest, even though it, of course, is ironic, and the music really sounds worked through. The fiddle fits perfectly together with the organ, and during the chorus, I'm singing along. This is the best song on the demo, and of course, my favorite. And it is definitely a radio hit too. "I broke my spleen and they took it away, I never knew it anyway. Now it's gone, what can I say. Guess this wasn't christmas day."

As Of Yet Untitled Theme Song is just a chorus, though it wraps this demo up pretty good, because, according to the band, they only recorded the chorus in order to save time (and money).
