Trans - Green download free

Trans is a band formed by Bernard Butler, of Suede fame, and John McKeown, who is or was in a group called The Yummy Fur. Backed by the rhythm section Igor Volk and Paul Borchers, they remind me of Television, just due to the guitars of Butler and McKeown. What I read of them is that they basically improvise, or jam, and then edit the recordings down, similar to Can's method of writing/making songs. Also, there is very little information about Trans, because I suspect that the band rather have the music speak for itself, or just weary of the media/music promotion world. Nevertheless, Trans is really good."Green" is minimal in a package, but cool design. The music has a groove that is Can-like, but again, the guitars how they relate to each other is very Verlaine/Lloyd. They made two EPs, with four songs each. "Green" although improvised (in theory) is very melodic, and there is a hardcore guitar sound throughout the four songs. Vocals are here, but it's the guitars that are forefront. So if one has a need to hear Neil and classic Crazy Horse, or Can - and as mentioned Television, then Trans fit into that planet in a very organic manner.
