Team Sleep question

[Nostawen]

I know Chine Moreno had this side project called Team Sleep, that (as far as I know) hadn´t released any record yet. But there´s a song on the Matrix Reloaded soundtrack called "The Passportal", which I think is from them. Is that correct?

[mjk870621345]

as far as i know... you're correct.

but if you have the chance, i recommend you "natalie portman". that is a kick ass song

[Nostawen]

Good!. Gracias, Adrián! (it freaks me out a little that you´re called like my ex)

[mjk870621345]

[Nostawen]

[EtchedInCold]

:bump:

[toolgemini]

yeah that is correct

i saw a bit of their new vid on fuse the other day when they were on
cool band

I'll have to scan in the live review from Kerrang! It's very funny.

"I'll scream and scream till somebody gets me another pie!"

On the original album there's an awesome song called Kool Aid Party with Mike Patton. It's dark and creepy and reminds me a lot of Pink Floyd. I've listened to the reworked album and it's pretty good, but I prefer the original unmastered album. I have it on my server if anyone wants it...both, in fact.

[MojoFearsSatan]

I was at that show. I actually thought it was pretty good, though the stuff about the drummer was right. Good drummer, could have done with shutting up every so often, he kept hitting things at random during Natalie Portman (they medleyed it with Live From The Stage), which was annoying.

And holly, the album's been out a couple of months now. And is very, very good. Though Natalie Portman is still my favourite track of theirs, there are some superb tracks on the album, in particular Our Ride To The Rectory and Ataraxia.

[Godless]

Ataraxia.
:up::up:

[james]

Their cover of the Pumpkin's Aeroplane Flies High sucks.

[MojoFearsSatan]

points for consideration here, James.

1. You love the Smashing Pumpkins like Ryan loves NIN. Therefore your opinion is biased.
2. The recording quality is terrible.
3. That recording comes from 2001. It is now 2005 and the band never released that cover, probably because they realised that it wasn't exactly good.

[Godless]

Good points.....but not as good as nipples

[mjk870621345]

They're gonna do a special semi-acoustic performance at a record store here in Denver, next Thursday i think, maybe I'll go. It might be cool, they'll sign autographs. i hope to get the chance to meet Chino.

[Jonesy]

I forgot all about this band. I'll have to pick up the album as soon as I can.

Do they sound like Deftones?

Well there you have it.

I picked this up a little while ago, and while some songs are kinda cool, I was mostly dissapointed. A lot of the album... I found was actually annoying to listen to. I haven't heard anything that isn't on the album though, but I'm trying to download this "Natalie Portman" track. It's now queued in Soulseek...

[EtchedInCold]

yeah, i listened through it all today. a couple stand out tracks, many bleh ones and one i didn't even give a full listen to. (tomb of liegia)

[... Scott]

Ive heard it but I kinda wish now that I hadn,t !












Its a bit self indulgent thats for sure.

[EtchedInCold]

well, next up is Billy Corgan solo... the other disc i got...

What would be the point in a side project if it sounded exactly the same as his other band? OK, bear in mind that 'Teenager' and 'Lucky You' by Deftones were both Team Sleep tracks that were converted into Deftones songs. Team Sleep often sound like that. Sometimes they have more electronica and stuff, sometimes they're more aggressive. I like Team Sleep a lot. It's not for everybody, but with a bit of patience it's rewarding.

I asked because I've heard someone say they did sound like Deftones, which as you already said, would be pointless. I was just hoping they didn't sound like Deftones.

Hmm, I didn't care too much for the song Lucky You...

I'll probably pick this up sometime this week.

i'm not going to listen to it for a while.

that's usually how i get myself to like cds that i questioned at first. i listen to it after a break and realize i like it better than i thought i did.

[EtchedInCold]

I've heard someone say they did sound like Deftones
it's definitely Chino singing...

That's how I am. I don't think I really liked any of my favorite albums that much on 1st listen. When i first got Lateralus, i remember thinking 'I'll never memerize these damn songs' It all just sounded so random and maybe even out of place.

Maybe we just enjoy songs better when we know what to expect and have parts of the song to look foreward to... :shrug:

They're creative and pretty diverse. There's not a bunch of hooks, but it's great stuff nonetheless.

[EtchedInCold]

i actually really like Staring at the Queen...

[Jonesy]

it's definitely Chino singing...

I know Chino is singing. I meant musically do they sound like Deftones...

[Godless]

I think he meant that's one of the few similarities.

[Jonesy]

Oh...my bad.

[EtchedInCold]

I know Chino is singing. I meant musically do they sound like Deftones...
i knew that you knew. but i was just saying that it's the same stylings and everything as from deftones songs... but he doesn't sing all of them, so if you (not you in particular) don't like Chino's singing (like my brother) you might still want to give it a shot.

[EtchedInCold]

I think he meant that's one of the few similarities.
yeah, that too

[Godless]

I say that if you're a fan of White Pony, you'll probably like Team Sleep.


Honestly, I don't see that it's the same style as Deftones. It's similar to a select few songs, namely ones from White Pony, but that's about it. It's less rock-oriented that any Deftones album.

[Jonesy]

I think i'll download one or two songs to see if i do indeed like it.

What song would you recommend (anyone)

[MojoFearsSatan]

Ataraxia
Natalie Portman
Live From The Stage
Our Ride To The Rectory
Your Skull Is Red
Death By Plane

[EtchedInCold]

Ataraxia... and another one that i don't know the name of (i was driving while listening)

[EtchedInCold]

i'm gonna go grab it from my car and listen to it one more time... does anyone think that i should listen to tomb of liegia all the way through?

[Godless]

Kool Aid Party

but that doesn't give you an idea of what they usually sound like.

Our Ride To The Rectory
Ever (Foreign Flag)
Tomb of Liegia

[Godless]

i'm gonna go grab it from my car and listen to it one more time... does anyone think that i should listen to tomb of liegia all the way through?
That's a great song.

[EtchedInCold]

i didn't like it. i got to 1995 and i was thinking "NEXT".

[Godless]

Well, I've listened to that one since the unmastered version leaked...so I learned to appreciate it fully.

[EtchedInCold]

i'll give it another shot later.

[mjk870621345]

Hmm, I didn't care too much for the song Lucky You...



That is my favorite song off the s/t

[dionysusolympus]

are they part of the Wrecking Crew? I get so confused nowadays with their bureaucracy... :magodio:

[EtchedInCold]

:bump: so i've pretty much listened to this cd like once a week since getting it... still don't like Tomb Of Blahblahblah... but the other songs are great.

[jims]

mmmm team sleep :drool:

[mjk870621345]

ataraxia and Ever (foreign flag) are my favourites.

:lol:

[jims]

yeah those rock. i really like Tomb of Liegia

[Nostawen]

God! I didn´t even remember I started this thread!. :ontome:
