Godz

From the little I've heard of these guys, they remind me a lot of the Monks. They focus so much rhythm and a percussive attitude on all their instruments, the music has a tribal beat element to it, and I enjoy that. But, where the Monks had something close to structure (and even then I use the term very loosely), Godz removes that element completely. Where the Monks thinly glazed over their G.I. stomp-songs with a definable message and intent, Godz throw that out the window and set it on fire. Sure psychedelics played a part in the music they made, but it takes balls to even think about stuff like this.

Godz certainly have my respect and admiration, even if I never hear another second of their music. But I don't plan on that.
