Any idea?

Here's a link to the actual site who's language I'm inquiring about:

can i see the context of that text? i might translate it for ya.
- autonoma0
Could someone point me in the right direction to translate this page into English online? This is a review of my band's latest record, and I'm curious to see what it says.
- ********0
yeah, found it already.
i have a hard time translating the first bit to proper English..
let's try tho:
"Imagine someone getting the idea to conceptually attach your record to the souls that used to wander around the central park (cedar park) of the village of birth (?) (an unsightly tiny dot in the oil-state Texas). Brendan Durham, singer and songwriter of Palaxy Tracks, is someone like that. ....

Thanks a million, 4cY. All I find online are dead ends when looking for an online translation service.

...in the mean time he and his pals settled in Chicago, where he pretty soon got on the track of local heroes like Tortoise, The Sea and Cake and Archer Prewitt.

The crystal-clear guitarlines (?) in the subtle opening song 'The Sediment' soon make room for the vicious 'The Wasp', in which the rhythm-section fanatically twists and turns thru various treacherous corners and twists (?). Same counts for 'Girls on bike' that is larded with a spicy Dinosaur Jr. sauce...
more coming...

:D

Thanks, ok_static. It does sound good.
No matter how many times your shit gets written up like this, good or bad, it's always so strange to hear how others perceive your music.

...Cederland -furthermore- especially makes itself noticable through the contribution of a wide assortment of non-trivial instruments like lap steel, mellotron, wurlitzer or mandoline. These give the record a complex-less (? not-complex) diversity that most other contemporary bands often leave behind in the rehearsal cabin.

Rehearsal cabin. I love that.
