THE WHO


When I saw the WHO tour I remembered their most famous albums Tommy and Quadrophenia two very good albums and I listened to them again but while Tommy is showing his age ... I was amazed for Quadrophenia it seems that time has not passed, too bad it's not on AM anyway for anyone who wants to listen to it I'll put the link
it must be said that unfortunately The Who have not been able to re-release albums of this level over time but continue to be successful in live performances thanks to their previous production

AMPLIFIER



ABOUT

AMPLIFIER

From Progarchives.com, the ultimate progressive rock music website


Formed in 1999 in Manchester, UK

AMPLIFIER is a Manchester based space rock band. This three-piece makes extraordinary music which is quite similar to the, also Manchester based, band OCEANSIZE. The band consists of Sel Balamir who plays guitar and is also the band's lead-vocalist. Than there's Matt Brobin, who is the band's drummer. Last, but not least, there's Neil Mahony who is the bassist. As you can see there's no keyboardist on board, so all the weird sounds and effects are played on the guitar, hence the name "AMPLIFIER".

For their 2004's selftitled debut album the band worked together with Steve Lyon to produce the album (he also worked with bands like THE CURE and DEPECHE MODE) and Chris Seldon for mixing it (also known for producing OCEANSIZE's "Effloresce" album and mixing music by THE FOO FIGHTERS).

Their music is highly original. They combine deep personal lyrics with walls of noise, combined with stunning melodies.

This band has been hailed a lot in the media. Kerrang! Magazine said this was ".the British rock-scene altering record" when talking about their selftitled debutalbum. Metal Hammer said they were ".the future of rock." and even Q magazine said that ".at present British rock doesn't get much better than this."

AMPLIFIER: This is highly original space rock. They mix a lot of different genres (I can hear Krautrock (a bit like Neu!) and Pink Floyd influences in their music) and combine them perfectly



the lineup is currently reduced to just two elements -
Sel Balamir / vocals, guitar, bass
- Matt Brobin / drums
no keyboards are used and all sounds are generated by Sel Balamir's guitar, making them into effects-generating motions
Amplifier is a band I've been following since
their 2004 album of the same name
their sound is very particular and is much appreciated by me..
I like to share with you one of their live shows in Berlin in 2013 and 4 of their Sessions albums that they included in a box set, but which can be listened to for a limited number of listens on Bandcamp
