preoccupation with one or more delusions.
The general goal of music blogs is to share artists that the author enjoys, and hopefully that the reader hasn't been inundated with already. While there are exceptions (i.e., most of my posts about artists with no new news), the agreeable common denominator is new/unknown and good/great. In looking through my CD collection to see what I may have been neglecting, I found an album by Robot vs. Bear. I remember finding it on ebay for dirt cheap because it was linked with Pele. The similarities are there. It's instrumental non-distorted electric guitar with jazz influenced tendencies and drum work. The hooks are the following pieces of information. Plans Within Plans was recorded in approximately five hours, is one flowing track of nearly eighteen minutes, was conceived by one man (Michael Chiles) and performed by four band members (Chiles, Richard Vaughan, Alison Ables & Mike Arciero), and was released around a decade ago on the now defunct Rosewood Union record label that also released the first Collections of Colonies of Bees (members of Pele) album. It's still shocking how little I know about this release, even after extensive research attempts. But I know that if you enjoy the type of instrumental music that I've made no mistake in associating myself with, then Plans Within Plans is for you. Due to the fact that I believe this release to be (nearly) impossibly to find, in addition to the band and label's websites being inactive, I'll share the entire 17:50:62 long EP with you.
Robot vs. Bear's "5.5.2005" + "power from steam" + "the truth about good and evil" + "introducing ronquillo" = plans within plans

this is good. i love finding out about really good bands that nobody ever heard, but should have. helps me to remain optimistic that there's some good stuff out there, regardless of whatever new stuff is sucking as flavor of the month. ask me about broken hearts are blue, if you don't know about them.
anyway, was the ep all one track on the CD, or was it broken down into tracks (4?)?
all one track on the cd. i considered breaking it down, but it's part of the experience to hear it all. i'm glad you appreciated this. i don't know broken hearts are blue. i'll look them up.
cool. it might be hard to find some stuff on them. they were classic emo at a time when that term meant something. they put out one album via caulfield records called the truth about love.
this is about as emotional as emo gets.
