| Engine - "Budgie EP" |
| (self released, 2000) |
To start with, the cover of the Budgie ep, is awesome. Kinda
old-style, kinda cult, kinda heavy, kinda rock and kinda stoned. Engine's
music is varied in a rock but pretty heavy way. All their personal influences
can be found here. Heavy riffing, psychedelic points, some grunge filings,
pure dirty rock, one or two jazzy breakings and even a few bluesy tempos.
Not so late 60's or early 70's as other bands, but 00's enough! That's
their point! Got it? They got a great advantage: George Leitmer - vocals,
guitar - has a non-greek pronounciation, if you can understand what I
mean. Great musicians - all of them - especially Panos Tomaras on bass
guitar. The right rhythm is given by Costas Petrou behind the drum-kit.
Songs titles: Budgie, Fading Away, Madman's Tale, One More Day, Truth.
Personally, I count them as the greatest Greek band of heavy rock.
