How Do They Build Airplane Wings

The Jesus and Mary Chain

I jamc, Scottish noise-rock group, founded in 1984 in Glasgow, shoegaze sound terribly in very difficult times when my bloody valentine are still struggling with a garage-rock stale (this is your bloody valentine). Churn out in their 1985 gem, "Psychocandy", feedbacks between sound and guitars dis
cakes. Atmosphere sound at times veiled by veiled sweetness myeloma (Just Like Honey) and sometimes scratched by gloomy Almost dark (It'so hard). After a drive of this kind is difficult to repeat, there is a risk, despite good intentions, to create an ugly duckling, who can not stand the comparison with the hopelessly old swan.
At this point, the wisest decision is to explore new musical paths, in "Darklands" the jamc, poised between pop and new wave, put away the guitars, to unleash the joy / melancholy, given by the vision of a winter passage / dark. The listener feels soothed, pampered by gracious armonie.Come if the Beach Boys play the Echo & The Bunnymen. In 1989 "Automatic", the jamc in difficulty, not simply produce a diskette from the pop choruses rompicampo. The 80's are behind us, the 90 are at the gate into the next decade, the jamc produce 3 discs, "Honey's Dead," "Stoned to Dethroned", "Munk". "Honey's Dead" is the typical sound jamciano "corrected and revised in the light of the new trends of music (grunge, brit pop, post-rock), but William Reid's guitar roars, our traditional chapter is" Stoned and Dethroned , "an acoustic-oriented album, listenable, but not essential to understanding the jamc's sound. The last studio album, "Munk," is a cornerstone of rock, sometimes contains interesting ideas, almost brilliant, but unfortunately there are coitus interruptus, when desire reaches the most high degree del piacere, la noia rischia di ucciderci. I primi minuti di" I hate rock'n'roll " sono da manuale del rock, ma poi la arroganza,strafottenza di jim reid svanisce e il sonno si fa sentire.Per carità, durante il sonno , sembra di essere in paradiso, ma stiamo pur sempre dormendo. Bei tempi quando sognavamo ad occhi aperti.
