rhys chatham vs glenn branca

atsonicpark · 05.08.2007, 09:04 AM

I prefer Branca...

SpectralJulianIsNotDead · 05.08.2007, 09:14 AM

I'm more familiar with Branca.

sonicl · 05.08.2007, 09:17 AM

Tough one. They're always mentioned together because of their respective muliti-guitar works, but they're really working in quite different disciplines. Branca comes from a much more rock background, while Chatham is more minimalist classical. Branca kicks more ass, but Chatham's work covers a wider range (gongs / guitar / trumpet).

Probably Chatham.

Massassinated · 05.08.2007, 09:40 AM

Tough one indeed, but I'd probably go for Branca.

HECKLER SPRAY · 05.08.2007, 10:30 AM

Branca. I love bands with a lot of guitars.

Enough?

Everyneurotic · 05.08.2007, 11:32 AM

both because they work different characters of sound (if we consider only their multiguitar work).

racehorse · 05.08.2007, 12:25 PM

it's hard but i'd say chatham for the sheer diversity of his stuff. his works for piano are amazing. but it is extremely difficult, if i was listening to the ascention right now it would probably make me say branca but there we go.

PAULYBEE2656 · 05.09.2007, 08:57 AM

jezz tough call. i cant really say but since u put a loaded gun to my head id say branca..
i never reaised he hasnt spoke to rhys in over 20 years!!!

get the new wire magazine, real good interview with rhys........

im saying that, i have had a couple of real nice corrospondence with rhys over the last year and he seems like an absolute gent.....

Gulasch Noir · 05.09.2007, 09:21 AM

Rhys Chatham

Trasher02 · 05.09.2007, 09:44 AM

Glenn Branca for sure.

atsonicpark · 05.09.2007, 05:06 PM

see, i think branca is better, but i'm more familiar with him by a slight degree... but a crimson grail is the best album eveR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

deathbyfeedback · 05.09.2007, 10:26 PM

branca.

orchestral brutality.

Magic Wheel Memory · 05.09.2007, 10:57 PM

Haven't heard enough of either, but from what I've heard, I'd say Chatham. Guitar Trio and Die Donnergotter are both great.

PAULYBEE2656 · 05.10.2007, 10:46 AM

gotta hear crimson grail.... right now!!!

Everyneurotic · 05.10.2007, 11:04 AM

crimson grail = record of the year.

atsonicpark · 05.11.2007, 12:44 AM

yeah i actually said that when i first heard it too, everyneurotic.. album of the year.

damn.

Everyneurotic · 05.11.2007, 10:07 AM

i submitted a review giving it 4 and a half out of five stars to the magazine i work for and they printed it, half a page long.

a magazine that just put static-x on the cover no less.

Glice · 03.21.2011, 12:07 PM

Chatham's new record is really, really good (and not at all massed guitar). Arguably better than his guitar stuff.
