![]() ![]() But when you play with fire, you might get burned. Not everything up there was for blog posts. And some of it that was hosted, I was the only person I knew who had it. I am not saying I owned everything I hosted on Mediafire. But as far as past blog posts I wrote, I am sad that that music will no longer be available. Now granted, I haven't been posting as I once did. So I guess this means the end of this blog. So as far as reuploading anything that I posted over the years, that’s not possible. The worst is, as I posted in a past post, my hard drive that had all my music, crapped the bed. So all the links on this site, are now shit. My Mediafire account, which I’ve been using for the past Idk how many years, got boned for hosting copyrighted material. And I’m glad bands like this still exist in a math rock world that has definitely changed since their birth. I think everything they have put out is spectacular. And I really hope that they put out more albums. Truth is, I've been listening to this album nonstop this past week and went out and bought the vinyl today. So after “Growing” and years of nothing, here comes “Notruf.” If there was ever proof that Sleeping People had prog influence and tendencies, this album is it. Over the years they have released some really great music. Not only that, but they themselves making reference in a song title (Fripp For Girls) to their love and influence from that band. Riffing that was clearly influenced by King Crimson. Sleeping People, more so than the other 2 aforementioned bands, seemed to really try their hardest to blend Math Rock and one of that genre’s predecessors Progressive Rock. But I always appreciated the style as done by the likes of Don Caballero, Lynx, and Sleeping People. I love early Tera Melos and Maps & Atlases. Extremely spazzy drums and guitarists tapping so much that something often gets lost in the translation. Its like kids who were into math rock listened to them and Maps & Atlases(Trees, Sparrows, Houses era anyway) and started bands emulating that style of Math Rock. I personally have become bored with the recent fad or whatever you call it that was essentially spurred on by Tera Melos and bands of that ilk. At least some certain facets of the genre. ![]() As most of you could tell from my blog, and if you’ve ever spoke to me in real life, I enjoy math rock. I personally wasn’t sure what happened to them. Anyhow, they seemingly disappeared after the release of their last full length “Growing” in 2007. They also once had a member of The Dirty Projectors on gutiar. I guess their initial claim to fame was that they had ex members of the instrumental math rock band Rumah Sakit. Sleeping People started in the early thousands. ![]()
