Here you go (only bands that showed up in the 90's) -
Porcupine Tree - You're gonna love them
Radiohead
Tool - These are pretty rough but they sound a lot like Crimson at times
Bark Psychosis - Odd music, not much progressive rock but 'post-rock' (supposely the term was first used with this record)
There are more like Portishead, Massive Attack, etc. which are excellent but more electronic. Rock-wise I think those above are the highlights.
Tool and Radiohead I know of, Bark Psychosis and Porcupine Tree I'll have to give a listen to. I'm a Portishead fan from way back and Massive Attack I did see once live. Or tried to but the crowd was so huge and the club so small I sort of gave up. Plus my date had a headache... :-[

That's my past sins.
MDB has a trip-hop song on their 34.788% complete album. It's not that bad imo, but bad for MDB.
@Ex-Rael: I think Katatonia's "Viva Emptiness" could be something for you. It's a bit like Opeth, no growl, more goth/doom style.

| Deleted User | Artistically composed, multi-layered, poetic rock-n-roll with beautiful vocals, unusual-and-precisely syncopated rhythms and guitar and keyboards to make you weep best.

| Deleted User | Is your current signature an Evil Dead reference?
|
| 8 AUG 2003 at 9:34pm |
| Deleted User | Well spotted. Evil Dead 2, actually! Best of the lot.
|
| 8 AUG 2003 at 9:45pm |
| Deleted User | Undoubtedly! ED1 was (to refer to the damned Dark Fall review thread) an amazing accomplishment for one man with no money. But ED2 was funnier, flashier, splashier and a triumph in an incredibly narrow genre.... GOOD horror/gore/comedies. (Only Re-Animator is better.) Army of Darkness was mostly.... lame, anticlimactic, and... errr.... lame again.
Hard to believe that this is the same man who gave us movies like Indian Summer and A Simple Plan. Both of which I also loved.)

| Deleted User | Re-animator, eh? Must check that one out. Still haven't seen Peter Jacksons earlier films yet... it's just that Evil Dead 2, even now, is SOOO classy. It's an odd way to describe what is, on the surface, a trashy horror movie, but there's just so much going on underneath in Evil Dead 2.
The camerawork (wheelbarrow cam! The bit where Ash is flung into the trees!) and the SFX (that hand is incredibly good even NOW) just combine to give a film that is in equal parts hallucinogenic, funny, gross, clever and always imaginative.

| Deleted User | Seriously...if you liked the ED movies, you absolutely positively must check out Re-Animator. It is gory, gross, hilarious and creepy. Tongue-in-cheek Grand Guignol along the Frankenstein motif. It is also putridly sexy. Oxymoron, you say? THIS is the movie that answers the age-old question of how a disembodied head has sex!
It also happens to be the single best movie adaptation of a Lovecraft work.
'Nuff said!

Sarah! The first time I heard Creep was while driving. I had to pull the car off the road in order to really listen to it! The CD version has the pg-13 word extracted on a secret unlisted track at the very end. :
Great song!

Why Betje, I didn't know you cared, he said as he signaled the bartender, ordering another round for his new friend.

| Deleted User | Hm... I saw Dagon. I feel the second half of the film didn't live up to the first, which was really very well made and hallucinogenic. Then it got all silly at the end and I kinda gave up on it - just some really poor costumes and a polystyrene set. :-/ Still, for it's budget it was very good!

I almost told you the very first time you used it how much I loved it. Decided against it because there was some commotion going on at the time about this Daryl/Lyrad thing and I have a reputation for putting my foot where it is not wanted.

| Deleted User | Daryl, it is a great song and a great band. I didn't know it really attracted your attention when you first heard Creep!! Cool!!
