I first heard this on some guy's irc-based weekly radio show before there was a YouTube, but it still feels like it could have been released yesterday.
Here's Cameron Graves with 'Red'
Couldn't get jazz out of my head when thinking of "no lyrics". Here's some neo-jazz that incorporates some hard rock elements.
Song 1 felt like I was struggling in the water temple and then it...picked up but still in a temple and then OK!! i enjoyed the repeated motif jam thing and cool!
#2 not messing around and got my attention right away...bang bang boom! it sounds like. digging the minor chords a lot and wishing we could leave bang bang boom in some way. piano player finally went ham but took a minute. awkward pauses like this sentence
both great, gotta go with #1 mostly on musical execution and smoothness throughout
While it is not cacophony, it seems like the first one was an attempt to put a bunch of different non-musical sounds into a song. I didn't hate it, but the second was slightly more musical.
