Judd Madden - Drown/ Float/ Waterfall (2011)

-













A colossal request: Judd Madden from Melbourne, Australia. This solo musician delivers some amazing tunes with these 3 monumental releases. A lengthy, but highly rewarding experience. Influenced by everything sludge, stoner, doom, psychedelic, ambient, progressive & post-metal. Think Pelican, Boris, Neurosis, Isis, Flood & especially Boris to name a few.






Drown takes us on a rather dark & raw sludge/ doom trip.
Float is a light, dreamy progressive/post-rockish experience.
Waterfall (the first release by Judd & currently my favorite) has a more varied approach with some deep riffs & refreshing interludes.

From the production to the instruments, this is an impressive one-man job. Some down-tuned destructive riffs in here, warm acoustic guitars, and a lovely piano. Expect a dynamic & highly atmospheric sound. My only (small) complaint is that the overall package could use some extra polishing; the sound can get quite repetitive & the lack of any vocals or even some neat samples can be a real burden in this 3,2 hour trip. That being said, this is an amazing accomplishment by a highly creative mind. For all you diehard instrumental fans out there..

By Amelia Proud PDA: Eddie and Leann cuddled up and she also played with Brandi's younger boy at the match in LA today Leann Rimes and husband Eddie Cibrian engaged in an over the top display of affection at his son Mason's soccer game today... just yards from his ex-wife, Brandi Glanville. The star of the 39-year-old Real Housewife of Beverly Hills had to look on as Leann, 29 , indulged in affectionate horseplay with Cibrian, and larked around with her two boys. The two had a bitter divorce battle which still rages on over custody issues. Brandi sat with her back to Leann for the entire game, the two never exchanged a single word and an tension was palpable between them according to sources. Curiously Eddie seemed to have left his wedding ring at home, but there was no doubting the smoulder between himself and his wife, who refers to herself as 'a bonus mom.' The singer has recently gushed that she has the perfect life now that she's a wife and stepmother, having l...
