Advantages: Completely original Disadvantages: Never really got the credit they deserved
band in mind (now there's a bit of trivia for you!).
The vocals are lush, unhurried for the most part, melancholic and atmospheric, subdued... never over the top. The music varies from sparse, bass-driven pop (such as "Blue") to megalithic ambient soundscapes, the most obvious to me being the 20-minute plus "Scum" which is an awesome piece of work, although it takes some getting into.
Back to the history. BarkPsychosis made a number of EPs through the late 80s and early 90s, finally bringing out their first (and for a long time, as they split up, their only) album, "Hex".
This was a beautiful, wonderfully produced album which, as is often the case, was lauded by the critics and ignored by the masses. Veering from experimentation to lush pop grandeur, almost every song is an original masterpiece on this album. The structures are ...

I was curious to see the film myself as I enjoy chess, and I also seem to enjoy the most mundane of topics covered in film. As such, I really wish I could tell you how great GameOver is.

GameOver tells the story of a 1997 chess match between chess grandmaster Garry Kasparov and the IBM developed super-computer, Deep Blue. Kasparov is widely accepted as the worlds greatest player of the game, so it was surprising when he lost the match. However, in the years since the match ...
Advantages: inspiring story Disadvantages: not enough coverage on DX and King of the Ring 1997
The Undertaker, Pat Patterson, Chris Jericho, Edge, Kurt Angle, Jim Ross Stone Cold Steve Austin, Ric Flair and Earl Hebner. They all depict Hunter as being a top shelf performer and someone passionate about wrestling. He is shown here as somebody talented and someone who is a good worker.
The first part documents Triple H's rise to stardom from a kid idolizing Ric Flair to going to WCW as Terra Ryzing. Tony Schiavonne even called him a young Ric Flair there. It also documents Triple H's early days in WWF as a snobbish blueblood to his rise to the top of the game.
It also documented the Madison Square Garden incident with the Clique. Shawn Michaels, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall and Triple H broke kayfabe and bid each other goodbye as Hall and Nash were heading for WCW. Triple H got into a lot of trouble for that incident.
The video also showed how ...
