ELS reminds me of what would happen if The Residents were diagnosed with schitzophrenia.

Bump. You need to hear this. Yes, YOU.

Hi. This album is still wonderful. I almost comprehend a lot of it now. I think.

ELS has very strange goals and an even stranger purpose. Band leader Jason Walton (best known for his project Nothing and his work with Sculptured and Agalloch ) claims to be possessed by an eight-year old mentally handicapped child named Chriss Cobb when composing and performing the music of ELS.

He states that the goal of Chriss Cobb is to preach the gospel of the new hell - the hell that exists now after Satan had revamped it to make it more torturous - and ELS is Chriss' vehicle for this message. Apparently, Satan thought that because the world has become fraught with violence, famine and disease, that hell started to pale in comparison and something needed to be done to make hell a threat again.

Can someone post a working link for an ELS sample? I must hear this! This is the most intriguing thread I've seen in quite sometime!

I have listened to it at least 20 times. I now have flightless wings, and the ability to destroy small insects using my left eyebrow.

Ahh thank you bro!

Edit- Just finished listening to these 3 songs. All I can say is... &

I dunno guys, I listened to "Don't Wake the Sleeping Bags" and "It's not My Stomach" and they sounded pretty weird, but not "OMG I CANT LISTEN TO THIS I'M GOING INSANE!" weird.

Maybe I need a full album.

I like the BMX Bike song the best I think

 

[NAD]

LET'S PUT THE X! IN BMX!

Demilich, you are much man. Or you didn't hear all the crazy background stuff going on. Also when you listen to that kind of stuff for 45 minutes straight it tends to do funny things. I'm continually impressed with the complex arrangements therein, reminds me of a completely prozac'd Mr. Bungle that just ate a whole truckload of candy.

Gotta agree, there IS a lot of crazy shit going on in there. Some of it sounds like SNES music I like that
