Maybe you have heard the newest album "Walking Cloud And Deep Red Sky, Flag Fluttered And The Sun Shined" by Mono and "La Luna de Negra" by The Autumn Project? Both are conceptual and monumentally, even classic as "The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place" by Explosions In The Sky and ""This Is Our Punk-rock"... From The [Gri:n] Files #6, Post Rock Latvia
...The Autumn project plays slow, unearthly music that is at times so lush that you forget they are but three people armed with guitar, bass, drums and keyboards... This is emotional music that puts you into a trance with visions of Arctic floes and glacial movement.... Punk Planet issue #66
Four out of Five Stars - "With six tracks clocking in at 66 minutes and six seconds, one might surmise that local instrumental post-rock trio The Autumn Project has taken to creating the devil’s music. And sure enough, “La Luna de Negra” sweetly lures listeners in with slow, dreamlike temptations before accosting them with raucous, looming crescendos. Long before an evangelist in the closing track tries to save souls from entering the dark side, listeners will have already succumbed to the hypnotically alluring promises of “La Luna.” Erin Randolph - Cityview
"The last band that played, we will hopefully do a split album with, they are The Autumn Project and they were so devastating that a drunk guy who was 70 totally fell over during their set. There was fog and projections and hallucinations during their set, the crowd went wild." 10/15/04 live show (Adam from Timonium)
...Overall a very interesting take on a somewhat limited genre. It always seems to me that many bands tackling the instrumental task fall into the category of a band that is a lot of fun to be in, but not necessarily all that fun to listen to. The Autumn Project thankfully does not fall into that category, and provide an interesting listen in La Luna de Negra. I would be very interested to see how these songs translate live...
