Pure Reason Revolution

Upon casual scanning, i didn't notice any topics regard PRR.  Due to the nature and the beauty of their music, i thought they would pop up somewhere on this forum.

Anyone have any opinions about 'em?

IMO: they (though not quite Frost* [of course]) are doing some pretty amazing things in the psuedo prog-pop-grunge genre.  Very listenable and deceptively complicated in composition.

I like The Dark Third very much, especially The Bright Ambassadors Of Morning

[AnsOnkruid]

Ooh I like them, The Dark Third is great! Going to see them in April

I really like 'em. I've heard they can be aloof though.

I've not heard them but I do like Oceansize and Pineapple Thief - are they anything like these?

[Lerxst]

top band - go see them live - mysterious, moody and kick serious butt

Possibly more Oceansize than TPT.   :?
Fairly grungy but with multi-part vocal harmonies.  They can sound a bit samey after a bit, but are definitely worth listening to.  They're playing at Cargo on 28th Nov.

I love the internet. Within 1 minute of me clicking on that link I now own 'The Dark Third'. What times we live in...!

I also enjoy PRR.  The Dark Third does get repetitious, but it also gets under your skin.  My favorite track is "Goshen's Remains."

I quite like their style. Their multi layered vocal treatment is what got me into their music. The Dark Third is absolutely stunning. But I don't really compare them to Oceansize. The latter make much more aggressive music compared to PRR.

I love The Dark Third and saw them about 6 times in a very short space of time including supports to Blackfield and Oceansize. Fingers crossed for the new album, although the little of what I've heard so far doesn't sound that different from what they've done before. I met Chloe about two years ago thanks to Mrs Lacklight and she was extremely nice and even sorted me out a t shirt from the merchandise.

PRR are a top band. Shades of Beach Boys, Floyd etc. Very unique and beautifully executed. Wish I could get hold of their version of Gaudete though.

They were obviously considered to be "next big things" as the album was produced by Paul Northfield and he wouldn't come cheap but I think they may have been dropped from their deal and been picked up by Inside Out instead (which'll be better for them IMHO).

Anyway, they cool :-)

[Jarkendia]

One of my favourite bands these days. I've discovered them by a concert of Porcupine Tree in Madrid (Spain). I downloaded their album The Dark Third before going to the concert, and I simply love it. A few weeks later, the original album was in my home.

They rock!



And also, they are very nice people

...And?

My boyfriend introduced me to them a while back. They have quite an individual sound.
