Excerpt: “Quality Instrumental Post-Rock with a fierce emotion that will blast your face off for its entirety. This album is a stroke of magnificence that is rare in the world today. It transcends the regular notions of what music is, creating a radical art form that emphasizes perfection… The songs blend together to form a tsunami of shredding guitars, loud violins, free horns, booming basses and hammering drums… One of the greatest of its genre, and one of the greatest in music.”

WRUV Reviews

Excerpt (translated from the Italian): “A remarkable quantity of electric, acoustic and electronic instruments, and voice used occasionally, with which HC-B create their imaginative soundtracks, unifying post-punk, post-rock and the avant-garde in eclectic compositions. More authoritative and intriguing than their album Sliding On Barents Sea (2003), Soundcheck For A Missing Movie hypnotizes with eight complex episodes, where physical flashes sometimes break cerebral and emotional harmonies’ calm.”

Il Mucchio Selvaggio

Excerpt (translated from the Italian): “two different faces in one soul: the first dissonant, moving music of legendary proportions in loud masses with a large ensemble; the second introverted, defined by math-rock grids. HC-B’s aesthetics are oriented to the reconstruction of livid and rough landscapes… Obscure and violent emotions, mitigated by the magical artifices of poetry. 8/10″

Rockerilla

Excerpt: “Sicilian quintet HC-B have bundled together a glorious collection of tracks here that summons the restraint and patience of bands like The For Carnation, the energy and effervescence of math-rock, and a gorgeous melodic sensibility that reminds us all why we liked post-rock in the first place… an album of small details – gutteral guitars are lifted up by wisps of white noise, delicate passages float by just that little bit smoother via backing theremins, and the occasional string section adds the requisite cinematic flourishes for which the album claims its title… enough inspired twists and solid jams to cement a place as one of the sharpest experimental rock releases of the year.”
