This is really odd. It's not 'music' as such and I'm hesitant to dismiss it . Genre within genre all with different names.

My missus said "turn this sh*t off as it's giving me a headache"

Listening on YouTube a genuine ad popped up and I had to check whether it was part of the 'music'. Oh how we laughed.

I like Post-Rock but wasn't too keen on this.

I may put this on again and hopefully it will click.

Strangely I've just come from listening to Japanese Noise Rock and this is a slight difference in mood.

What struck me was the professionalsm of the playing. Then again I guess that's what Jazz is about?

It's soothing and makes me feel good.

I do like Daft Punk and I also love early synth so even though most of the tracks didn't have the DP stamp they were great to listen.

Plus like everyone says the Derezzed and End titles tracks were amazing.

Thank you for having the vision to put this forward. It's outstanding.

I read the comments from guy who put this forward for us to listen to and I feel bad about giving it a bad review so i'll be positive.

Some of these tracks would do well in the Eurovision song contest so that's a positive comment?

It's quite slick and well produced?

errr......

This is really foreign to my ears- I can't find anything here to listen to.

I get that it's just my personal opinion and in fact there's nothing wrong with it. It's just not for me.

Oh Wow!!! I put this on YouTube thinking it would be some awful indie rock or faux punk.

What it is though is lunacy and fun. Totally unpredictable and if you think it would make good background ambient noise for studying then you too are insane.

I do think though that it isn't totally unique or innovative as there are many other 'experimental' albums before this.

Still, if I ever have a party and want everyone to leave I will put this on.

Pretty standard but pleasant enough 80s fare.

If the words were in English this could be a band from Luton signed up for Mute records that had a minor hit in 1983.

Full blown and brassy. James Brown reborn.

I've not heard of them to be honest and I'm glad they are considered deliberately tongue in cheek because this is very cliched and corny.

lot more solid rock than I expected.

I liked it.

It's nice, too short in fact.

You might say it's kinda 'nothingy' but that's the idea.....

Very relaxing.

It wouldn't be out of place as a 5th placed Eurovision entry. Way ahead of the UK 'nil-points'......

I like a bit of this late 70s vibe although not hot on the religion or politics slant it's mellow and Bruce is a great acoustic guitarist.

Why is it that all the best bands decide to try their hand at Lounge-Pop?

In all seriousness it really does sound like Alex has changed into a Lounge Lizard but then I'd probably slag him off for copying the formula that gave him a Los Angeles pad so he can't win.

I like stuff like this. At the end of the day I'd rather chill to this than generic rock bands

I wouldn't say it's enjoyable- I don't know enough about this free jazz. It's discordant and hops in and out of melodies. For 1959 though he's very brave and certainly pushed boundaries so for that it's a 5 from me.

Didn't know bands still existed who did stuff like this. It reminds me of 3rd rate festivals and this would have been a band on one of the outer stages on the first day.

This is perhaps the 4th album of theirs I've reviewed? The others got respectable 3***s and 4**** but listening back they are stuck on a certain pattern to the songs. So polished and well produced.....

da-dddd-da-dddddd-WE-dd--ARE---ddda- ddd-the--dd-the-PNEUMAAAAA-dadad-ddd etc etc

I wish they'd mix it up a bit? Use different sounds or instruments? Have a different chord sequence?

This is up my street but with reservations as there's a certain contrived integrity here.

Everything's in the right slots but quite polished without stray threads.

Lots of other sounds and bands pre-2014 but that's ok I guess. For instance let's say Godspeed You!, Nick Cave, Current93 and even dare I say.....The Doors?!

But for just 'Bring the Sun' alone it deserve the top mark. I'd love to hear this live.
