Apologies for the fact that this comment fell into the spam bin (links, innit) - I've dug it out, given it a wipe with my sleeve, and it looks alright now. I haven't listened to Fuck Buttons, purely on the basis of a prejudice against any band with a rude word in their name. Even typing it has irritated me. I'm going to download this right now from emusic, and change the artist name on iTunes to "Fluff Buttons". That'll learn 'em. Thanks Seanh!

Haven't had a chance to hear the RtB disc yet, but 'Closer To The Cliff' is a veritable sing-along-album set alongside their releases on Tanzprocesz or Ruralfaune. "Divination Calling" is the only track that really approaches the familiar, tarred, gristled, growling leviathans populating their earlier albums. That said, I really enjoyed the new ideas introduced on 'Closer'. Finally, the formula was altered, if only slightly, with electronics and some lighter do-dads, lightening the ear load. here's a sample of their earlier work: <a href="http://www.submersibledirigible.com/img/robe_hidden.jpg" rel="nofollow"><i>Hidden Ascension</i></a>, Rurualfaune 2006 <a href="http://submersibledirigible.com/music/01_Fog_of_God.mp3" rel="nofollow">01. Fog of God</a> (13:25) <i>Totem Hole</a>, Tanzprocesz http://tanzprocesz.free.fr/tzpcd12.htm Long as we're talking noise, the recent Fuck Buttons release called 'Street Horrrsing' is absolutely essential. Some of the best noisy music this year. Great review

Been a fan of Robedoor for some time now, but a little worn by the onslaught of 2007 releases. Haven’t had a chance to hear the RtB disc yet, but ‘Closer To The Cliff’ is a veritable sing-along-album set alongside their releases on Tanzprocesz or Ruralfaune. “Divination Calling” is the only track that really approaches the familiar, tarred, gristled, growling leviathans populating their earlier albums. That said, I really enjoyed the new ideas introduced on ‘Closer’. Finally, the formula was altered, if only slightly, with electronics and some lighter do-dads, lightening the ear load.

here’s a sample of their earlier work:
Hidden Ascension, Rurualfaune 2006
01. Fog of God (13:25)

Totem Hole, Tanzprocesz

Long as we’re talking noise, the recent Fuck Buttons release called ‘Street Horrrsing’ is absolutely essential. Some of the best noisy music this year.
