    2nd Hands: The Gourishankar

    Screw the other albums I was going to get, well, for now. Once I get paid on Thursday I'm buying this first.

    First of all, look at the album art:





    Secondly, listen to four of the songs free: http://www.myspace.com/thegourishankar

    Really impressive band. This is only their second album but I can't find their first anywhere. Check them out.

      How is it freaky? Read the "about gourishankar" part. The album art fits perfectly with the style of music they are portraying, but yes I shall be "going for it".

            How about the music?

            Also, trying not to listen to the free samples as "You have successfully submitted your order. You will shortly receive an email confirming your order. This will be sent to your registered email address."

            £10, not bad.

              The songs are awesome as well.

              And your right about the album art fitting with the music style.

                More people need to check this band out. They need recognition. I mean "End" has amazing electronica at the start.

                  I like the sounds at the start of The Inexpressible song. It just sounds so cool. I'm really starting to love this music.

                      I really liked Syx. Sounds like someone added equal parts jean luc ponty and liquid tension. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

                        Two very good mentions there. Glad someone else has enjoyed their music. Also noticed in the album booklet that all of the songs are based on poetry. Also like how the entire album is 1:11:11 long.
