Bigelf Week: Falling Bombs

(antiMusic) A few years back the Euro release of Bigelf's 'Hex' received an Album of the Year honor from us. How could you not love a band that takes the best elements of Sabbath and mixes them with Pink Floyd? The fans in Europe did and put the CD in the Top 10. A U.S. label finally had the brains to put the CD out here so that Americans can hear what they've been missing. We were excited to ask Bigelf's Damon Fox and Ace Mark to pick their favorite five tracks and tell us a little about each one. Here they are with today's song "Falling Bombs": DAMON: This is actually the first Elf song ever written, going back to 1988 on this one (we didn't even have the name Bigelf yet). Rich and I were trying to push the envelope with Falling Bombs, I wanted something really different...a hybrid if you will. It turned out to be the blueprint for everything to come. I think there are 5 demos of it...jeez! ACE: Definitely one the most interesting compositions the band has ever played. This song combines many different influences of the band in a surprisingly natural manner; the 60's pop, the Sabbath/doom influence, the progressive element etc. Great Moog solos by Mr. Damon Fox. Words are great and all but Bigelf is really a band you have to hear for yourself. Even our arch nemesis-Courtney Love-loves them. So give yourself a big ol' rockin Christmas gift and check out the music for yourself - right here!
