Calliope also manage to incorporate a deeper funk amidst their detailed orchestrations by involving heavy low-end basslines and turntables. Not that the band limit themselves to non-vocal music -- they cover all musical aspects while projecting a heavily dynamic sound into outer space. A long way from their roots in minor chord drones and feedback blasts, Calliope continue to expand their once-limited frontiers. - Jon PruettPost-Rocken720Sun, 20 Dec 2009 15:51:45 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.38181&variant=artist-playlists&rws=%2Fcalliope-2%2Fplaylists.rss There seems to be no shortage of dreamy instrumentalists these days and Michigan's Calliope fall successfully into that heap of vibraphones and locked rhythms.
