They\'re probably all decent musicians, and I haven\'t payed enough attention to them to give them a fair shake... But what I have heard from them has bored me.
-
I haven\'t been downloading via FTP, but a few days ago I started to do it again, and it still runs slow.
Peck - can you tell me the benefits of downloading via FTP?
you can just queue everything up rather than downloading file by file.
FTP is the way to go and my downloads fly
-
I heard somewhere that they don\'t "jam" there sets are completely rehearsed, anyone know anything about this?
-
I only saw U-Melt once (maybe other times before I didn\'t even know it was them,...) opening for Umphreys.
Basically thought they sucked. The lead guitar player seemed kinda.... umm, looking for a nice, non-offensive word here.... "emo" . Yeah, "emo". It was like an emo jam band. Sucked..

hopefully you\'re all downloading via FTP.

I think the disco biscuits early stuff (before 2000) before they got into all trance was way better than their sound now.
Def agree here. Disco Biscuits Uncivilized Area and their album with Mr. Don and Basis For a Day were really good. Not sure why they strayed away from that sound.
on a side note does anyone know why its taking me forever to download shows off archive? i used to download almost 2 shows a day, now i can barely get through one set.
I\'m having the same problems. Started about a week or so ago. Some of the downloads stall out, which I\'ve never seen before, and the rest of them take way too long to complete. I usually pull fantastic speeds at my house too so I\'m not sure what\'s up.

^^^ there Camp set. i don\'t have much if any of there stuff so i\'m gonna dl a bunch and see what these guys are all about
seen UMelt a few times. i won\'t bash them, but they aren\'t my cup of tea. on a side note does anyone know why its taking me forever to download shows off archive? i used to download almost 2 shows a day, now i can barely get through one set.

i saw them at moe.down last year and sort of thought something similar. kinda biscuits-ish, no stage presence (except for the keyboardist), but potential
I dont think they sound anything like the disco biscuits. the disco biscuits are way more single-genre. I think the disco biscuits early stuff (before 2000) before they got into all trance was way better than their sound now.

Just another shitty jamband from NY.. and go figure they cover one of Zappa\'s worst/mainstream albums.

Umelt formerly A440. I have seen them quite a few times.
They opened the Gathering of the Vibes on the main stage this year.
Zack is the keyboardist and the only one in the band I think I have ever really spoken to. Nice bunch of guys. I thought their set at vibes was really good. They had a bunch of tech difficulties but the did a killer version of "Eyes"

the handful of times I\'ve seen U-Melt I haven\'t been impressed. I think they are talented musicians, I think its more frustration that they could be doing more. They hit a point in their jams where you\'re like ok here it comes...............wait for it..................wait for it...........and.............nothing. Although I will say I don\'t think I have seen them in the last year.
Don\'t mean to come in here and start bashing.........

they played with the breakfast at beardslee two Halloweens ago. breakfast was on the top floor and u-melt was on the middle floor but I was too busy doing drugs, drinking, dosing people, making out, watching my friends win the costume contest and waiting for the breakfast to come back on at set break to pay attention to them so I have no idea. but other people told me they were rockin it. they play at mezzanotte sometimes too and regulars there dig them. doubt they hold a candle to bfast tho.
-
that is pretty ser. nice to see them doing well.
-
they have a lot of obscure but good songs, like the breakfast...check out "captain delicious," "Schizophrenia," "sequel," "red star" ...all those are good tunes with good composing/different changes

^here they cover the entire "wish you wre here" album, tastie

found it. this is pretty damn cool:
U-Melt Reveals its "Occasional Python"
Former New Groove of the Month U-Melt spent Saturday closing out a busy festival season with its annual pilgrimage to Greenfield, MA\'s Wormtown Music Festival. In past years U-Melt has treated festival goers to special surprises at Wormtown, including a 7+ hour all-night marathon set and a Beatles tribute, and this year proved to be no different. On Saturday U-Melt performed a 1.5 hour main stage set before headliner Max Creek and returned at 2:00 AM for a stealth U-Melt late night show under the name Occasional Python. As an added bonus, the group performed Frank Zappa\'s Apostrophe (\') in its entirety, including classic tracks like "Don\'t Eat The Yellow Snow," "St. Alfonzo\'s Pancake Breakfast," "Cosmik Debris," "Apostrophe" and the album’s closing number "Stink-Foot" (the latter of which features the line "Occasional Python"). Finding some time left in its set following the album cover, the band reached outside the Apostrophe track list and encored with their trademark Zappa cover song "Dancin\' Fool.” U-Melt will begin an extended Midwest tour September 25 with a show at Pittsburgh’s Moondog\'s.

Wasn\'t UMelt the band the Breakfast drove by leaving 10,000 Lakes that were getting arrested or searched? It might have not been 10K Lakes but that is definitely the last time I heard about them.
-
yeah they\'ve really improved their sound within the past year. im not sure about apostrophe.
-
I haven\'t listened to UMelt in a long time. I don\'t think I have heard much about them for sometime either.
What do you recommend?
-
the breakfast have played with them a few times in the past. i thought they were decent, but nothing to write home about. haven\'t heard them in quite a bit though.
didn\'t they just play apostrophe recently? is that floating around anywhere?
-
Has anyone checked out/heard U-Melt yet? These guys are really really tight, definitely worth checking out. I like their sound a lot, its not really like anything else out there.
