About the bands:
BIRDSONGS OF THE MESOZOIC
website: www.birdsongsofthemesozoic.org
“Birdsongs of the Mesozoic is a strong example of how musically
effective and
aesthetically successful the blending of avant-garde music and rock can
be.”
John Covach, Progression
DEUS EX MACHINA:
Cuneiform’s most recent signing is this Italian sextet, who will be
releasing
their debut Cuneiform release [their seventh release] in early 2002.
Consisting of keyboards, violin, guitar, bass, drums and vocals, Deus Ex
Machina have gained an enviable reputation for their incredible high
energy
shows.
DJAM KARET
website: www.djamkaret.com
“Although they’ve managed to barely skirt the insatiable feasting by
jam
band lovers if Phish and Govt. Mule, California’s Djam Karet may be
partially
responsible for the rise of free-form instrumentals and rock-edged
improves
in the ‘90s. Since the late ‘80s, this quartet has roamed the West
Coast
festival circuit with a soaring, hard-rock attack that condenses the
bombast
of King Crimson with the cosmic glide of Pink Floyd, then tosses in some
Windham Hill ambiance for blissful conclusions…for anyone who has
heard them,
the listener usually takes one step back in awe.”
Richard Proplesch, Jam
