| ***On their sixth full-length studio release Melt-Banana exercise a hitherto undetected area of their musical musculature: the "rock" region. Summing up an entire album, and one as diverse as Bambi's Dilemma, with such a pedestrian qualifier is risky business, agreed, but it seems to fit like never before. The band, of course, refuses to accommodate any such pigeonholing: "Maybe it is rock, but maybe not. We just make whatever we want. We just follow our own instincts!" The truth is MxBx makes music as they please, relying solely on their own maverick talent to get them where they need to be. Bambi's Dilemma's eighteen tracks careen from extreme, fast-blast attacks to more serene moments (usually reserved for non-album releases) to the band's revolutionary new, guitar and bass-less "Theremin-core." Look for them on tour throughout the US, May through June, 2007. 30-second MP3 excerpts: Spider Snipe Blank Page Of The Blind Cracked Plaster Cast Heiwaboke Crisis Cat Brain Land Plasma Gate Quest Type: Ecco System The Call Of The Vague Green Eyed Devil Crow's Paint Brush (Color Repair) T For Tone Slide Down Lock The Head One Drop, One Life In Store Dog Song Chain Keeper Last Target On The Last Day If you have a recent version of iTunes software on your computer, clicking on the link immediately below should open the iTunes application and take you to that album's iTunes page-- where you can listen to samples and buy this album, or individual tracks: go to iTunes to browse downloads for Melt-Banana "Bambi's Dilemma" If you have a subscription account at emusic.com, you can download tracks for purchase here.
