Trio formed in Worcester,
Massachusets, by Roger Lavallee, Duncan Arsenault y Ron

perfectly catchy melodies with soundscapes where sadness rules ( a perfect
example of this is Riverful ). |

The
Last Dance
|
|
The melodies of The
Last Dance can be placed in the space between The Cure and U2, with
the ambients and the use of synths of the former but adding the epic
of the latter.
|
|
Gossamer
|
|
Their songs are influenced
by the sounds of The Mission and The Sisters Of Mercy - Wayne Hussey
remixes some of their songs-.

|
Interpol
|
|
With their first album after
their debut EP, Turn On The Bright Lights edited under matador
records, this band from NYC, very close in style to Joy Division, The
Chameleons and The Sound, surrounds us with their sound. Raw guitars played
like the Fielding/Smithies tandem and lyrics sung with a dry voice as
Ian Curtis´. |

Band from Iceland, formed
in 1994, and which with their international debut ágaetis byrjun
they were acclaimed by the critics. In 2002 they release an album
called simply ( ), where the songs have no title and where they remark
their minimalism. Great builders of melodies full of sadness and infinite
solitude. From their album of 2002, it is available on their web site
the tracks 6 and 8 in mp3 format. Here is the link to both songs. |

Recognized is the last
project of Yves Altana, who fomed with Mark Burgess some bands
in the past. On the offical site of Invincible you can find this instrumental
mp3 with more technified and darker ambient than other compositions from
the same author. |

from Nebraska,which started in 1995 but didn´t manage to release

Peter Hook at the bass guitar, and a Daniel Ash whispering voice. We include

web site. |
