The second album of Romania's finest psychedelic rock band, Center of the Cyclone consists of seven pieces in e classic 40-minute format. With a great variety of styles, powerful contrasts, focused jams and colossal riffs, The :Egocentrics lure the listeners into a musical space of their own, the songs having their distinct personality while being dependent on each other, contributing to the
Weekendul ce o trecut se anunța incredibil de fain. Vineri The :Egocentrics lansa albumul nou, iar sâmbătă aveam electro din Suedia. Pe rând, deci. Vineri seara, cu nerăbdare și cu temă de casă de la frățiorul plecat pe alte meleaguri (cumpărat musai Center of the Cyclone , LP), am mers spre Zorki Off the Record. Despre trupa din deschidere nu știam mare lucru, ascultasem 2 piese pe myspace, despre care mi s-o zis oricum că nu sunt relevante. Methadone Skies - nume foarte [...]
![[2010] The :Egocentrics – Love Fear Choices and Astronauts](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3020617_lg.jpg)
One of the best bands in Romania, in my opinion. This is only their debut and it's excellent. A new album is set to be released next year. Also, they are absolutely amazing on stage.

They have huge potential, I hope they're gonna live up to it. ( 20 [...]

Megaphone ou la Mort – Camarade Coma Hailing from the world (Spain, Argentina, France) and recording in both English and French, Megaphone ou la Mort bring a vibrant brilliance to the often tepid world of modern rock.

"La Poesie Du Travail," showcases right off the [...]

Once more, here is August's edition of the Music Alliance Pact . For those of you who don't know about MAP, it's a collection of music blogs from around the world who band together once a month to shed light on up-and-comers from their home countries. It's sort of like the WTO without the human rights violations. This month we've welcomed five new countries: China, Greece, India, Indonesia, and South Africa . This edition showcases 31 tracks from around the world. Once again I've gone ahead and [...]

MAP-ul vine cu alte cinci bloguri care acopera acum toate continentele cu exceptia Antarcticii: China - Wooozy Greece - Mouxlaloulouda India - Indiecision Indonesia - Deathrockstar South Africa - Musical Mover & Shaker! Din Romania, avem prima trupa autohtona de stoner, The: Egocentrics (tot din Timisoara, ca si Melting Karousel). Ma bucur ca au fost de acord ca una dintre piesele lor sa fie inclusa in MAP, pentru ca sunt chiar pe gustul meu si imi plac [...]

First Band From Outer Space - Impressionable Sounds of the Subsonic Riding some freakish cosmic supernova from their home planet in Alpha Centuri to the relative safety of earth's atmosphere and the terra firma of Guttenburg, Sweden, signed by some secret intergalactic pact to the Transubstans label , The First Band From Outer Space do everything humanly and extra-terrestrially possible to live up to their name. Wildly freaked out, stoned out, spaced out progressive/psychedelic rock, FBFOS sound pretty much like no other band I've heard [...]
