Forced Listening Thread V: Planet of the Bikini Vampire Babes
onewheelwizzard:
Very slow, pleasant organ intro, which continues as accompanying strings fill out the song with harmonies. I'm finding it really hard to tell how many instruments are joining in and what they are ... maybe a couple deep horns, something that sounds vaguely like an accordion but which I can't quite place ... in any case, the extended harmonizing makes for a very pleasant and soothing way to spend 6 minutes. It has a very minimalist orchestral feel to it. It's perfect falling-asleep music. I give it a 7.5 out of 10 for being pleasant and aesthetically appealing but overall a bit too low-energy to be really interesting.
My computer found the name of this song untranslatable, but it's by sgt., track 2 of "Perception of Causality."

The beginning starts to remind me of the ghost level music from Super Mario 64 after a while. Then the guitars and strings and stuff kick in and knock that out of the way. We're at 3:18 right now. I didn't know what I was getting into when I clicked this link. My interest is beginning to wane. I can't tell if the tempo's actually slowing down or if my brain's just playing tricks on me. Boy, the guitarist sure loves that one riff he keeps playing. 5:45. String break. This is really pretty right here. More ghost ambience in the background. Whoa, a completely new section. This is my favorite part so far. Faster-paced and more energetic than the first part. Lots of echoey guitars here. 10:21. Less than three minutes left. Home stretch. New thing starting. Basically all the instruments playing the same melody over and over again. Hm. Now the strings are doing like a solo thing, with some guitar noodling going on on the side. This last part is pretty cool. Upper register string melody with the guitars thrumming out some octave chords below. And now a relaxed bass groove with guitar noises. Aaaaaaand done. Parts of this were beautiful and melodically resonant, others were boring. It took the song nearly six minutes to find something that really drew me in. That is not a good thing, I think. 7/10

Now, J-pop (that is what you'd call this, right?) usually rubs me the wrong way, but I found this highly tolerable and even enjoyable. Even the repetitive parts. There's something in the drums... Well done! 7.5/10
Now I'll subject you all to a song from the LCD Soundsystem dance compilation Fabriclive 36 (this computer is new and lacking in music)

Mmm. Yes. This is a very strong dance track. A bit repetitive, but that's to be expected of a dance groove (hah) and I think it serves its purpose admirably. Got the booty shakin' and such. Still. Didn't blow me away or anything so it gets an 8/10
I'm curious to see what people think of this, cus for a long time it was my favorite song. I listened to it over and over for an hour once.

a pack of wolves:
Okay, so what we have here is a song that builds up and up for about a minute and a half until it becomes a pleasant little run on a piano, and then returns to what was at the end of the build-up. It goes along like this for quite some time more, this one little musical phrase (I think you'd call it a phrase, I am very bad at terminology so sorry about that), and then some vocals appear to come in, all lost in the feedback and distortion which is an alright effect. Then it drifts off, it's over. I suppose I see what's meant to be going on here, taking something really simple and repetitive and then using very few other elements to make it into a song but the end result is very unsatisfying. If this had been only a couple of minutes long the idea might have held up better but there's too little here for the length. 4/10 because it is a catchy little phrase.
Here is some occultist Victoriana black metal with lots of other bits lobbed in too.
