CD Review 1

Artist: The Antarcticans
Date: 2/20/07
Title: Teach Children Fear All Teachings Of Eternity
Picks: 2, 3, 4, 5
No Play:

Genre: Rock: Experimental

As long as you listen to your program and don’t play all of 2, it’s interesting.

After track 1 the songs are too long for my taste. Sometimes the music will stop on a track, and you feel like it’s a new song, but it’s not.

Tracks remind me of: 1- music in a scary movie; 2- Kill Bill; 3- random jungle goings-on
