Any band that channels the orchestral psychedelia of Pink Floyd is befitting a cosmic laser show as opposed to merely the iTunes visualizer. The Secret Machines' sophomoric piece, Ten Silver Drops, is a sweeping symphony of intricate, story-line lyrics, piano, synthesizers, and clamorous drums. Singer Brandon Curtis's velvety voice further enhances the album with a haunting melancholy air in un...

The Secret Machines show last night was excellent. They had a "theater in the round" stage, basically a circular array set up in the middle of the floor and everyone stood around it. Since it was such a small venue and stage it was really imtimate and the lighting was really cool. They sounded much better than last time a saw them and their new material is really exciting live.

So the last few times I've listened to the bit of Secret Machines' music that I've acquired I haven't been too impressed...but mixed in with the rest of the stuff I'm test-driving, Lightning Blue Eyes really struck me.
