just had an intense nero moment.

[dimafleck: the living legend.]

had to do a double take afterwards actually.

i popped on SoOn for the first time in a while...just came back from a session with a neighbor, and popped on headphones and just listened.

anyway... what dave does at exactly 11:09 during darius is fucking mindblowing.

that is all.

I've listened to soon a few times lately to similar effect. That disc does a good job of capturing the phenomena that is/was Nero. It's definitely a dance band you can tell that for sure, and a trance band also I guess, yet one suspects while they needed the audience to feed off of they could just as easily of played the same set in a basement by themselves.

[Jay Funk Dawg]

ahh.. nero. I still love the 401 theme.

[elemeno]

who??

[bradm]

The teases in "four-oh-one theme" (namely, "Third Stone From The Sun" at 3:40, and "My Favourite Things" at 3:57) are also pretty fun.

Here's a Nero-newbie question for ya:

Which show on the Archive would be the best first listen?

[bouche]

ahhh....just grab the NYE show!

[bradm]

While I don't disagree with bouche's choice, I'd also add that 2004-09-18 is pretty good, and I have a special fondness for the 2004-11-05/2004-11-06 pair of shows. (Check out the Condor from 11-06; Dave Lauzon said it was his favourite Condor of recent memory.)

Aloha,

Brad

[Dr_Evil_Mouse]

Thanks, guys. These will be the streams-of-the-day.

[bradm]

Another good one is 2003-03-29. IIRC, nero was third that night, after two other more indie/alt-rock bands (I think "Daisy Ella Mojo Crew" was one of them), and the fans who showed up for those bands had no idea what they were in for. Lauzon sounds flat-out blazing to my ears that night.

Aloha,

Brad

[Dr_Evil_Mouse]

Wow - listening to the NYE 04, and sure didn't expect to hear Peaches en Regalia right then.

[bradm]

Another good one is 2003-03-29.

I just realized something: "SoOn" was recorded on April 3, 4, and 5, 2003, so I doubt nero did any shows between this one and the "SoOn" shows. I listened to "SoOn" this morning, and this one makes a good companion to it, IMHTO.

Aloha,

Brad

[ollie]

I never picked up SoOn. Is that something I can still get at Record Runner?

[bradm]

I don't know if they stock it, but it's still listed at the nero store, or you might try getting in touch with Velvet.

Aloha,

Brad

[kookycanooky]

all discs are available thru velvet/neroland.com I do belive

in the unspoken words of ricky - "holy fuck i love nero."

i had a nero moment on my way to work this morning.

i was sitting on the bus trying really hard not to stare at the guy opposite me's strangled nutsack that i could plain as day see through his pants. if nutsacks could scream, i would imagine this one would be...boys, be aware of your package outline when you sit down, that or shut those damn legs!

anyways...i was thinking god, this is totally too much...i don't want to be seeing this now before i've even had coffee...and that led me to thoughts of what i can't get enough of anymore and among other things nero came to mind. then i let myself really think about them, which i never do cause i get real sad....i had to stare at the nutsack to stop from tearing up.

and now i'm going to listen to SoOn....damn it. i only have zedonk on my ipod. ok so i'll listen to it at home.

hey dima...thanks for the comments...and hey, there's a reason my dog's named Darius...and it's not just cause chocolate monkey machine would be a hard name to call out in the park.

[Freeker]

I miss Punk.

[dimafleck: the living legend.]

anyone have any comments about the 11:09 moment in darius??

the man makes his guitar scream with anger/pain/rage and so on.

imo, the climax of the entire song that lasts 2 seconds.

[Booche]

"Trippy, upbeat...guitar and bass driven......"

jam-up?

Whaaaaaaaa?
