| Alright, this page was way overdue for an overhaul. I'm starting to think that there's no point in posting reviews: I'm too lazy to update them constantly, and I doubt anyone other than me even wants to read more than one of them. Instead, I'll say that Deluge Grander music is usually: COMPLEX: dense compositions with more instruments than normal "RETRO": Mellotrons and mellotron-like sounds and non-modern production. For the record though, a lot of what gets mistaken as "mellotron" are actually samples of other instruments I spent a long time creating, in the vain hope that we might do something that sounded new, but everyone just assumed it was all mellotron and labeled us "retro-prog." ATMOSPHERIC: lots of reverb, and a DIY production aesthetic that some will like and others will loathe. On our first album, I sang a little bit. Lots of people complained. So on the second album, I didn't sing at all. You're welcome!
