A has promise but lost my attention.

B is tedious for the first couple of minutes then suddenly picks up with a groove overlaid with
flute & captain beefheart style saxophone, it builds to a flute & sax cacophany. Great stuff.

i liked A very much, although it really did feel like almost the last half had no reason to be. that was way too long for a fade out, mwhaha. still, i liked the song in the main quite a bit.

meanwhile, B started off all low-key and subtle. with interesting percussivity, and then turned into a real jammmm. love. ya.

Lift To Experience is the type of stuff that I like - a bit of noise going on there.

The long fuzz out at the end was a bit overlong and didn't hold my attention - Built to Spill do that sort of thing really well!

Then there is East of Eden from their second album.

I know this track backwards

Full of music - I hope everybody has the patience to stick with it!

I know we all know but the violinist Dave Arbus does the fiddle on The Who's Baba O'Riley

Easy

Don't usually go for the modern stuff, particularly when it's Church So Broad, but I have to say A had some guts to it and made me want to hear more of them. Shades of Wire in the guitar playout, but not too self-conscious a copy thereof.

B is ironically the more "impressive but not involving" one here - and all those high-pitched winds got a bit shrill for me by the end. They're the "Jig-a-Jig" guys, right?

The first track did absolutely nothing for me.

East of Eden are one of those early 70s, lesser known prog bands that really float my boat.

Wow! What an absolute dogs cock of a mess is B. Swirling tympanic and flute fight-off which then turns into a Jethro Tull and Free Jazz mash up, with some idiot incanting 6th form hippy nonsense about pixies or something. Imagine my surprise when I am then presented with an attempt at funk which manages to be less funky than Black Flag. Astonishing.
A is great, you lot just don't recognise genius when you hear it.

I enjoyed the freakout part of A better than the actual song. B was nails on chalkboard to me.

Weird pick A is, more shoegaze than prog but very good indeed.
B is OK too but on a Sunday morning I'm more into

Enjoyed the first half of Lift to Experience a lot, but the second half left me indifferent.


Enjoyed the first section and last section of East of Eden immensely, but really disliked the spoken section.




Half played both songs at least 5 times over the last two days to help facilitate my decision and have found it easier to blank out spoken nonsense in EOE than get rid of the frustration of the second half of LtE.




B by the width of a thread unwinding from a bobbin.



Have put LtE on the list of bands to listen to some more.

I was wavering between the two until I read this.

Dog's cock for me then, seeing as how I just don't recognise genius.

Both of these had elements I liked and disliked but on balance 8 minutes of my time was better spent on B than A, but could have done without the poetry reading

(Not my pick but...) LTE's main man is Josh T Pearson - those who wish to dig deeper should play his great solo album Last of The Country Gentlemen.

Can't listen to it too often as it's pretty damn depressing but one of my favourite albums of the last decade.
