Tech Notes "I wasn’t too familiar with Pelican’s body of work before the concert but I decided to give them a try. Unfortunately, they bored me to the utmost degree. Their music never seemed to build up to anything. There was no crescendo and no payoff, no big breakdown that made you say “Hell yes I want the world to end.” I think that’s what I like in a lot of instrumental rock bands and Pelican just didn’t do it for me. Every once in a while the guitarist would bust out a really cool little riff or the drum beat would kick into double-bass action and I’d get excited, but those moments were not very frequent.

I will say that upon giving the recording another listen at home, I enjoyed it more than I did last night. Maybe Eluvium and Mono had just tired me out on the whole instrumental rock thing."
