Title: Stunning
Product review: I had heard about Gastr Del Sol from an avant garde friend. When I picked up the CD, I really didn't know what to expect. What I got was nothing short of a masterpiece. UPGRADE AND AFTERLIFE incorporates electronic noises, delicate piano, and acoustic guitar, plus a plethora of unidentifiable sounds. The seven tracks are unique and wonderful. "Our exqusite Replica of 'Eternity'" begins with a delicate piano, veers off into noise hell, and ends quietly. "Rebecca Sylvester" uses vocals, acoustic guitar, and some drone to create a beautiful song. "The Sea Incertain" is an instrumental track which incorporates some steam noises. "Hello Spiral" begins with a butchered sound collage, then starts off on a piano. "The Relay" and "Crappie Tactics" both use eerie piano and synths. The final song, "Dry Bones....", is a wonderful and trancey cover. If you like avant garde experimental music, buy this Gastr album. You can't go wrong.
