Text Definition and 569 Threads

TEXT is the band founded by Kristofer Steen, David Sandström, Fredrik Bäckström and Jon F Brännström. All, except Bäckström, were ex-members of hardcore band Refused. Stylistically, they have little in common with Refused. Their debut album, Text, is a mix of spoken word, music of various styles, and ambient sound effects, often producing an ethereal, avant-garde sound. Apart from the three "Tableau" tracks (which are one piece, split up across the album), each track could be described as fitting into a different genre. In 2008, a second album, Vital Signs, was released. Yet again the style of music is far from Refused and the first Text album. Only Fredrik Bäckström and Jon F Brännström appear on this album.
The record came out on Demonbox Recordings in Sweden and on Buddyhead in America and the rest of the world. Text – "Text" was Buddyhead #4 and considered a building block in what is now a very successfully diverse indie-boutique-label run by music journalist Travis Keller. Text announced a US tour the year after the record was released on Buddyhead but due to conflicts with International Noise Conspiracy tours, it was cancelled.

    Good graduate text in quantum mechanics

    Hello everybody. I am looking for a good graduate text in quantum mechanics. I studied from Griffiths during my undergraduate career and I loathed it. I thought it was sloppy and poorly arranged. Currently I have the one by Gottfried and Yan, "Quantum Mechanics: Fundamentals." I like it. It...

    Improve Your Physics Self-Teaching with These Resources - TIA!"

    I wasn't sure where to post this. I've already searched the Learning Materials forum in vain. I'm needing a better physics text for self teaching. The one I'm using does a good job of explaining, however simply it may be, but it's sorely lacking in giving lots of problems with solutions. It...

    What is the best approach for extracting sentences from a text?

    I can't think of an elegant way to do it, and yet I need to, somehow. If you have a period followed by a space, then you know you're at the end of a sentence. Same with a period followed by a quotation marks (in the American way of writing. In the British way, they keep the quotation marks...

    Is There a More Rigorous Analysis Text Than Rudin?

    I was recommended Rudin's "Principles of Mathematical Analysis" as a text that assumes you know nothing and takes it from there. And make no mistake, I think it's an amazing book. I've learned techniques and overcome some hurdles all on my own that make me feel quite good about myself. So this...

    Recommendations for Mathematically Rigorous Texts on Statistics and Probability

    Hi PF, looking for a recommendation on a mathematically rigorous text on statistics (and perhaps probability).

    GR Text: Zee's Formulas & Where I'm Going Wrong
