afterstasis presents an album a day.

That Sacred Blade album was great!

Surprised Sandpit wasn't a hit among you guys. Also surprised Sacred Blade may be instead.

[LegendofRock3021]

I listened to Sandpit the other day, pretty cool stuff. I just enjoy the Sacred Blade album more.

sadly the Polyrock album wasn't as good as I thought it'd be. Figured a Glass-inspired/produced record would be very solid, but it just didn't click with me.

If you have the time, give Polyrock a few chances. I didn't think it was that special on my initial listen either.


La Casa Fantom - Ingen Ny Dag
Genre: Neo-Crust/Post-Hardcore
Year: 2006

This duo, a drummer and a bassist, is from Norway and they play an incredibly unique blend of risk-taking neo-crust, post-hardcore, noise-rock, and more.
In just about 20 minutes these two guys present, and quite possibly master, more musical ideas than most punk bands do in their entire discographies, and they do it with an outpouring of obvious passion in their music.

Recommended If You Like: His Hero Is Gone, Kylesa, Submission Hold, Fall Of Efrafa, Witch Hunt, and Man Is The Bastard.

La Casa Fantom hosts this album (as well as quite a few more) for free download from their site in the Music section.

Camberwell Now - All's Well
Genre: Avant-Prog
Year: 1992 (Recorded 1983-1987)

This is a compilation compiling nearly all of this post-This Heat project's work on one album. As if This Heat wasn't difficult enough to describe, this is probably even tougher so just go in blind this time with an open mind.

Recommended If You Like: This Heat's more experimental moments with an emphasis on density and subtle grooves amidst all the madness.

Sample a few tracks via myspace.

EDIT: Blog already updated.

Trying to educate Stasis on music...cute.

More like trying to attempt dialogue with the all-knowing alien.

I'm going to be checking this one out, for sure. I've been incredibly pleased with your punk albums so far.

Nick Castro is fantastic

I agree. Definitely one of my favorites among all the albums you've posted, stasis.

Levitation - Need For Not
Genre: Psychedelic Rock/Shoegaze
Year: 1992

Levitation is a sort of bridge between pure progressive-influenced psychedelic rock and the jangly, dreamy pop you'd expect from a band The House Of Love's former guitarist fronts.
However, this isn't just a gimmicky fusion record by any means. The songs are fantastic, revealing lots of layers and variety without being an overdose, and the playing is very strong but not flashy.
The album may start with a few more subtle tracks, but things really take off in a different direction as you approach the mid-point. Also, beware of the much more popular and far crappier artists now using the Levitation name.

Recommended If You Like: Pink Floyd, Gentle Giant, XTC, Catherine Wheel, Swervedriver, and Cardiacs.

Kim Cascone & Scanner - The Crystalline Address
Genre: Experimental Electronic Music/Lowercase
Year: 2002

The fruits of this collaboration are very difficult to describe with any clarity, so check the sample if you're into completely abstract experimental music.

Recommended If You Like: Fennesz meets Stephan Mathieu.

Sample via youtube.

loved the Levitation samples. Definitely picking that album up.
