It's called Downward is Heavenward, and it's their fourth full-length, their second on RCA. The album was recorded in Champaign by Mark Rubel at his Pogo Studio, Mark and Hum sharing production credits. Hum's 1995 RCA release, You'd Prefer an Astronaut, quietly sold 250,000 copies in the U.S., and their latest effort is another lovely piece in the musical puzzle they patiently began assembling back in 1989.

They have all the aspects of Tool, but on a much more subdued level. They are not as heavy, but the technical music combined with daap-end of the local pool lyrics, that cause you to take your frre-time researching the true meaning. It is a damn shame they broke up. I know the band could grow in popularity because their sound was/is so unique in this banal age of American idol saturated bullshit. hum offer such a diverse approach to music and images it really baffles the mind. I really dig their focus on Space and basci emotions that are presented with a subtle hint of melancholy to bode the listener into their blissed-out world., Buy an album and sit back for an afternoon or evening and listen closely. If you are high, it may hit you even more deeply. | | ||||||||||
