(2 Customer Reviews)
Floater's second release "Glyph" comes out swinging with a more eclectic and confident sound. With such tracks as "Cinema", "The Sad Ballad of Danny Boy", and "All The Stories But One", Floater shows the ever growing diversity of their unique sound. Working again with Drew Canulette (Soundgarden, Nirvana, Mudhoney) the album has a very polished and full sound. The single "Danny Boy" received heavy college and commercial radio play, in many cities outselling major label releases. Floater received nominations to the preliminary level of the Grammy's from NARAS (National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences) for Best Alternative Performance for "Glyph" in 1996.

Glyph Music Review Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)   Killer CD This is a great CD, very under appreciated. Submitted by a reviewer (Chico, CA, USA)  Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
complex and powerful This is one of my favorite's ever. Floater's sound is hypnotic, altering, complex, and pounding...all in the same song. They are at the top of my list of bands including Tool, Metallica, Deftones, Snot, Limp Bizkit, Alice in Chains, Korn, and Red Hot Chili Peppers. This is their best loved album by most of their fans and definitely worth a listen. Submitted by a reviewer (Northern California) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No

Glyph album
$13.05 This first release from the Northwest rock trio Floater sets the pace for what would soon become an impressive line of great recordings. Floater, featuring Robert Wynia (lead vocals, bass), Peter Cornett (drums, backing vocals), and Dave Amador (guitar), united in Eugene, Oregon to put together their own special blend of pulsing tribal beats and catchy melodic vocals to create this, their first full length release. "Sink" is a concept album that seamlessly and theatrically moves through its storyline using a massive variety of sounds from somber strings, blistering guitar, piano, atmospheric drones and even a bass ...

| | Jr Gone Wild Simple Little Wish CD (1995) (Import) Canada
Glyph music CDs
$15.35 Returns the group to masterful pop-country form, where it once again takes possession of that cherished Byrds/Flying Burrito Brothers turf, with a '90s attitude. Mike McDonald's somewhat nasal but richly personal vocals are laced with a vulnerable streak that snaps the lyrics to life. But this session's new secret weapon is background vocalist Bernice ...
| | Culprit Guilty As Charged CD (1983) (Import) Import; Germany
Glyph songs
$31.55 This 1993 release from U.S. heavy metal act Culprit contains 12 tracks including "Steel To Blood."
It doesn't take a heavy metal expert to tell you about Seattle's unusually high number of heavy metal bands during the 1980s, but although names like Queensr˙che and Metal Church roll easily off the tongue, some other, also very impressive bands such as Culprit have virtually vanished from public memory. The band's lone album, 1983's Guilty as Charged, was an anomaly in the Shrapnel Records catalog for offering technical proficiency without getting bogged down in uncontrolled shredding. Rather, it forged an inventive yet disciplined brand of American heavy metal that was perhaps even more notable for containing meaningful, real-world, and surprisingly embarrassment-free lyrics. In fact, one has to wonder if the then still Dungeons & Dragons-toting Queensr˙che didn't take note of Culprit's more lucid approach further down the road, since Guilty as Charged feels in many ways like a rough draft of Operation: Mindcrime. All conjecture aside, and even more unusual as compared to their average labelmates' guitar-first philosophy, Culprit songs like "Steel to Blood," "Ambush," and "Same to You" boasted extremely memorable, singalong choruses to go with their disciplined instrumental foundations. And were it not for another one of Shrapnel house producer Mike Varney's typically deficient production efforts, this album (and particularly highlights ...
| | Orwell Following Days CD (2002)
Glyph album
$13.79 On its debut, French pop trio Orwell combines its love of modern chamber pop, '60s orchestral arrangements, and new wave. It's a winning combination, as Following Days glides through easygoing yet carefully constructed pieces. Orwell's influence from electro is heard best on "Live On," which has a pleasant synthetic beat and echoing vocals. They sing in English with just as much ease as French, which helps keep a steady romantic vibe. Guitarist Mederic Gontier of fellow French band Tahiti 80 helps out on the opening track, and French multi-instrumentalist Fugu ...

Glyph CD music
$12.15 Collaboration between beloved outsider singer-songwriter Daniel Johnston, pop artist Ron English, and singer-songwriter Jack Medicine
Hyperjinx Tricycle is a collaboration between beloved outsider singer-songwriter Daniel Johnston, pop artist Ron English, and singer-songwriter Jack Medicine. The bulk of this set's tunes are sung by Johnston and touch on themes common to Johnston's work (heaven and hell for starters), but the instrumentation and production touches are more varied than on a typical Johnston album, with spacey textures, dance beats, and hummable folk rock all vying for space. While ...
