Cynic - Textures

[cooliovasquez]

i see no tony

[ostrichspeed]

anyone else ever get kind of a reich/glass minimalist vibe from this song? or maybe an 80s king crimson influence? all those interlocking ostinati...

[BrixIlBarbone]

this is intelligent music for intelligent people.

cynic are one of the best band in the world.

[ruinawish]

@BrixIlBarbone You really think an intelligent person would say something as dumb as that? In your case, it's intelligent music for pretentious people.

[PanterAmetal100]

Damn... every time when i hear them i feel so huge enjoyment! Hail Cynic! They deserve better recognition from press and people! This is THE music!

[frandet2]

Malone iis Insane bassist wahoooooooooooo

[vrem]

this band is so sick. i am not even kidding.

[mindflow12194]

this is where BTBAM got there sound..has to be

[XxSconeManxX]

And ironically enough, they are Headlining over Cynic in their next tour. Makes no god damn sense at all if you ask me.

[suprjnt420]

really i cant understand that.....????

[MikeC26GH]

@XxSconeManxX

Just because BTBAM is more successful dosn't mean they weren't inspired in large by Cynic. I don't listen to much of either group, but they seem to have similar qualities to their songwriting.

[XxSconeManxX]

>Implying that I wasn't saying they were influenced by Cynic.

My point was that Cynic is far more significant influentially and yet somehow BTBAM gets a higher spot on the bill than them. I like BTBAM, I respect them musically quite a bit, especially since they're a 'core' band and they don't completely blow. They're actually worth listening to, however Cynic deserves far more to be headlining that tour than BTBAM do, especially since BTBAM can say they that were influenced by them.

[daviejamess]

@XxSconeManxX Im a huge fan of BTBAM and i must say i agree 100% with you. Cynic is still beyond its time, as they were back in 93...i cant believe a band like this even existed then, true pioneers of the genre.

[Chapter93]

@XxSconeManxX It's all about the draw. There's no way Cynic is bringing more people out to a show than BTBAM, whether they're more influential / better or not.

[XxSconeManxX]

@Chapter93

Yes, I'm well aware of that, it doesn't change the fact that it's still a pretty ridiculous how a band that didn't even exist during Cynic's original run headlines over them over the fact that more people like them. Popularity has absolutely nothing to do with musical talent and presence, anyone who thinks otherwise needs to seriously reconsider their beliefs in art and personal expression.

[Chapter93]

@XxSconeManxX I honestly don't think it's that crazy, considering BTBAM probably has triple the material that Cynic does. I understand what you're saying, but logistically, I think it makes sense that they headlined over Cynic. The tour Cynic is about to go on, and is headlining, makes a lot more sense than the BTBAM tour, however.

[XxSconeManxX]

@Chapter93

I'd agree with that, Cynic tends to tour with somewhat unrelated musically speaking, headliners and other bands in general. The only other band on that tour that I think was really musically speaking quite similar to Cynic, would have been Scale The Summit.

[ScorpioX19]

who?

[focus727]

This is by far my favorite Cynic song.

[SorenProg]

uuuultra mega giga maxxxxx..... :)))

[CWA12]

Only true metal fans can apprieciate Cynic!!!

[xschuldinerx]

i agree \m/

[Orphen01]

@CWA12 Im not a metal fan, and I appreciate and love them.

[CWA12]

I was referring to people that listen to metal and say that cynic are shit.

[louievondoom]

[neromustdie]

[21vision]

Well, it's always like having sex for the first and 10000 time with the same girl. Big difference.

[roseking900]

Psh I'd never get sick of Cynic--that 10000 is just as epic as that first.

[ChronoPhoenix]

MONSTERS.

[nunio7]

yon didnt know music ..

I think ,See the unSeen

[unholyconfessional]

[alainjonhsonguitar]

fuckin Progressive DM!

[Kharnivore2099]

This is not wankery...this song is just too well balanced and sounds too beautiful for it to be just showing off.

You cant just label them wankers cause they're good at what they do, Geez!

[cooliovasquez]

@Kharnivore2099 lol who said this was wankery? this song was put together as precisely as a hydrogen bomb

[Kharnivore2099]

@cooliovasquez Maybe someone said music masterbation or something haha, this is far from it. just awesome...

[largemoose]

"This isn't music, it's masturbation."

No.

[lucatuz]

surely! because after listening to "texture" every musicians who deserve this name must CUM!!

[alcachofunk]

Yeah!

I'm completely agree

[alcachofunk]

Agree with lucatuz

[chuckburzum]

these are the true cynic!textures is just wonderful!

[heavyonit]

I'm normally the first person to call out guitar wankery for what it is - And this most definitely is NOT it.

:)

[21vision]

Masturbation is the only thing you can do in the breaks between studying musical theory and practicing in playing guitar for hours, days and nights.

[Timppa666]

Awesome. It's a shame that there's no any hi-quality Cynic bootleg/live from 90's :( (?)

[neotoperek]

this is a masterpiece...

[slayerific]

Sean Malone is probablly the best musician with a mullet that I know of

[gnarlyarcher]

This is funny! Too bad he doesn't have the mullet anymore...

[1MorA1]

and the best part was he can pull it of without getting shit! lol

[PhongLopez]

This band's music is incomparable to any other band. It's so strange and magical, I can't comprehend how to imagine and compose these stuffs. I wonder this band..for 15 years. And I missed their concert in Budapest on Wednesday. F**** bull****

[Sebastos1]
