The Young Gods is a band of extremal experimenters, so they can't be called just as industrial band. Except of some industrial techniques they use, such as electronic samples and heavy guitar sound, their music doesn't have much in common with industrial. It contains no any aggression or brutal and distorted vocals, and this music isn't monotonious either. On the contrary, everything sounds as naturally and freshly as possible: "TV Sky" unites urbanism, heavy metal, rock, and ambient. The album keeps its balance on the edge of experimentalism and avantgarde. "TV Sky" is a breakthrough, take-off - even album cover designed as metal airplane skin. This isn't one of those albums made with single sampler, this is a complex work of ambient-hard-rock scene with its multi-layer sound. By the way, this album is very much influenced by The Doors, so the spirit of Jim Morrison can be found on every track, especially on twenty-minute "Summer Eyes". As The Young Gods' bandleader said: "We wanted to reproduce the sound of the 70's with abilities of the 90's". And they did it - a wonderful mood, a wonderful sound, a wonderful album. |
