I know that I can get rather enthousiastic from time to time. Especially when it comes to music.

When listened to the latest Capillary album a couple of weeks ago, I was really impressed. Reason enough to check out their other album(s).
Here's what the web says about "Fragments":

"Capillary Action is a Philadelphia, Pennsylvania based band made up largely of graduates of Oberlin College and Oberlin Conservatory of Music. The ensemble has a widely-varying list of members centered around the constant Jonathan Pfeffer. Capillary Action's 2004 debut album Fragments was written when Pfeffer was 17 years old, and was realized mostly as a solo project, with help from fellow Oberlin students Jeff Cristiani and Kevin Alexander."

"Fragments" is an instrumental, guitar-orientated album that mixes and combines styles without rules. Heavy rock instrumentals, some jazz stuff, samba tunes, a bit of chaos and noise,... it's all there.
The album sounds quite different from "So Embarrassing". The title says it all: it's fragments, and whereas the "So Embarrassing" album sounded as one piece, "Fragments" sounds more like, well, fragments.

Still, very impressive. Food for Beefheart and Zappa fans.
