Ooooh The Church. Great example of Neo-Psychadelia goodness.
It's another Radiohead moment

I apogize for the lack of attention ive showed this thread lately. But what in ear monitor sound signature do you guys prefer for this type of music?
as a somewhat unrelated aside (who needs segues?), i encourage everyone to listen obsessively to the first three discs by the comsat angels (fiction, sleep no more, miracle), which are genuinely on a par with joy division and classic cure.
It's another Radiohead moment Everyone loves The Church except me. By the way, what is 'Expiremental Rock'? The kind of stuff you listen to as your mind is collapsing?
this stuff calls out for an expansive-sounding, bass-oriented (v-shaped?) iem with good isolation, as opposed to a more neutral, balanced signature or intimate presentation. i recently got a fidue a73 which i really like for radiohead and their ilk, but there's literally thousands of choices....

Good question. Its not tied to a specific scene or time such as Grunge or Madchester. More correctly, it describes bands that create songs that dont conform to the status quo. Whether it be instrumentation or thematic elements. A great example would be the velvet underground and Radiohead. Also, krautrock is a great example of expiremental rock. It can be from any decade.
Let me give you an example. In the nineties after the shoegaze phenomenon, grunge and britpop rose to prominence. These were the two big rock events people know. However, in 1997(the year i was born! ) Radiohead came out with OK Computer. This is an excellent example of expiremental rock as it is completely different from Grunge and Britpop. It was very innovative and like nothing else out there. In my opinion at least. It didnt have the hardcore punk and slight metal influences that Grunge had or the catchiness and the sense of British pride that Britpop bands had.
Hope that helps!
Dude. I was referring to the misspelling of 'experimental' - it's experimental, not expiremental. :wink_face:
Haha it doesn't i know. I just wish there was a word that would describe the 50% of rock music I'm trying to state. From my description it would be called "Alternative Rock". Not from the late 80s to modern era music phenomenon but the literal and technical sense of the word "Alternative".
