MORE EXOTIC WAYS TO DIE
PARALLEL OF 90 DEGREES
2002 , UK - Out of print/Fuori stampa
Label: CYCLOPS
ALBUM REVIEW
More Exotic Ways To Die was recorded in a remote farmhouse in the North Yorkshire Dales instead of in a studio in order to capture the band “playing live” as much as possible. The album is loosely “conceptual”... but is song orientated, the lyrical theme being based on the story of a character coming to terms with middle age. More Exotic Ways To Die is easily Po90’s most immediate and energetic offering to date. It is extremely contemporary, fits in well with newer acts like Vulgar Unicorn, Porcupine Tree and Radiohead yet is still rooted in the darker side of progressive rock music in the manner perhaps of Crimson and Van Der Graaf Generator. Like their fellow countrymen Porcupine Tree, Po90 see themselves as a band from 2002, not 1975... despite having immense respect and undoubted influence from that extremely creative era. (Cyclops)
