I bought Spiritual Machines, I live in New Zealand it was hard to find. I am, hover, also trying to find Bottom's experimental album "You'rNext" http://www.bottommusic.com/volumes.html

OLP's greatest strength is Raine. It's because he sings a song himslef and then the music is built around it to support. This creates a real sense of melody and cohesion that is lacking everywhere else. In the US, you get good female singers, and backing music as faceless as techno underneath, or ...

Gravity is peculiar, it's the only album not named after a song on the disc, it's short, it took very little time to make, and they tried a different technique in where they went to make it. Raine claims that the band can make the gist of a song in 5 minutes, the work together so well now. But i ...

I think I know why they like going raw.... they sound more canadian that way... ever listen to supermans dead live and then cd? listen to the difference in "in my head"

I am going to try get my band to learn some olp so I can try sing it live and see how difficult it really is to sing the right pitch and character without any guidance... which I won't. That's why live and CD are so differnt

It's the ...

Well the reason Bring Back the Sun is a good song is because its really well written and executed. The problem is though, that Bring Back the Sun IS a slow and relaxed song. Meditative. But can you really get the speed and the freedom out of this new method to make more lively songs? This is what we ...

In a lot of recent interviews Raine has claimed that, inspired by the recording of Saint Anger by Metallica (which is complet trash), he and the band are trying to go 'raw'. No classy overdubbing, no protools and stuff, just picking out the best parts of his singing plain and simple . I don't agree ...

I got another question: whats the (mafia) bit in right behind you?

What is CM??? And who's Kurzweil on spiritual machines?

Our Lady Peace is the best.
It's created a culture of captured people like ourselves, appreciating music which dosen't just sound good, it's timeless.
Raine knows what sets him apart, its not simply a voice, mood or style, its a soul (innocent -- jonnhy looses himself in something faceless, but ...
