At the end of the eighties many observers said that rockmusic was dead. Then the Swiss trio The Young Gods introduced their sonic architecture, witch changed the future of rockmusic. The trio only use voice, samples and drums, and yet the make one of the most impressive walls of sound built on the components of tempo, movement and balance. Their 4th album "T.V. Sky" stands, with Nirvana's Nevermind, as the most important and album of the nineties. "T.V. Sky" is the most American influenced album by TYG. Especially the almost 20 minutes long composition "Summer Eyes", shows that The Young Gods in an extreme intelligent way, manage to combine the universe and expression of bands like the Stooges and the Doors with elements from heavy metal, Stravinskij and samples you never thought was from an electronic instrument. If you think that rockmusic doesn't exist any longer, then simply listen to The Young Gods, and that will change your mind.
