		<description><![CDATA[When I try to think of a way to accurately describe The Incredible Machine, genre wise, I usually fail. The best that I can do is to say that they sound like a mixture of Barenaked Ladies, and They Might Be Giants, with a little Jonathan Coulton thrown in there too. Which is to say, semi [...]]]></description>

Especially since they are possibly one of the greatest bands of all time. And it&#8217;s also kinda interesting to me, that the first song (I assure you that I&#8217;ll be posting on [...]]]></description>

The Decemberists have known for writing amazingly good songs, all of which usually tell a story of some sort. With the realease of The Craine Wife, we saw them move closer to a concept album.

		<description><![CDATA[Bang! This song starts kicking in with folky guitar strumming and vocal harmonies that are slightly reminiscent of Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young. Driving drums keeps us rolling, and gives a really pleasant  feeling of driving down a long stretch of highway, as the sun rises over the horizon. Or at least, it does for [...]]]></description>

The art is well-done, and while the story tends to drag a little, and features surprisingly little action for being set in an online RPG, it consistently includes incredibly good music.

First off, as in most good Decemberist songs, there&#8217;s a story to be told:

		<description><![CDATA[To be honest, this song is not so much about the instruments for me &#8211; a laid back jazz kit for percussion, a nice plucky meandering banjo line, supporting deep strings, that&#8217;s not what&#8217;s important here. What&#8217;s important is the incredible well written lyrics:
So you quote-love-unquote me
Well, stranger things have come to be
But let&#8217;s agree [...]]]></description>

Sometimes it&#8217;s too ethereal for its own good, and loses its appeal in spaced-out vocals and &#8216;world music&#8217; instrumentation. Caribbean Blue doesn&#8217;t have this problem.
The beginning is a great way to introduce a concept [...]]]></description>
