I'm realizing the core theme of most of my posts is the question _Is recorded music really music?_ And I think I'm trying to make the argument that the answer is *no*, that music truly only exists in its live performance, and that recordings are shadowy, pseudo-musical reminders of what a performer once did on one highly-controlled occasion.I bring this up because Superconductor is a ten-piece band with a seven guitar lineup. I never caught them live, but I'm certain the spectacle of noise that their seven guitars was capable of is pretty much absent on this record. But still, seven guitars! Use your imagination.*Superconductor* "Bushpilot":http://www.fileden.com/files/2006/6/28/94223/SuperconductorA.mp3 b/w "Satori Part One":http://www.fileden.com/files/2006/6/28/94223/SuperconductorB.mp3
