Panthu Du Prince - Diamond Daze (2004)

AMG
--- Quote ---When Hendrik Weber isn't playing bass for Stella or making tracks as Gluhen4 or Panthel, he's producing haunted microhouse as Pantha du Prince. This is Weber's first album under the alias, following a 12" from 2002. The reasons why he's on Lawrence and Turner's Dial label are made apparent right off the bat. Not unlike Lawrence or Carsten Jost, Weber's tracks are equally fit for the club and as a companion for staring out of your bedroom window on a lonely overcast day. Cavernous 4/4 rhythms are joined by downcast elements — subtle clicks and pops, gentle swarms of synthetic strings, snow-blind keyboards, dulled-out chimes. Weber's own infatuation with '80s miserablists is often in effect; while Lawrence has swiped Morrissey lyrics for track titles, Weber either approximates or lifts the sounds of the frostbitten guitars from early Cocteau Twins and Cure records. "Eisregen" twinkles darkly, while "Circle Glider" — its frantic palsy coming off like a missing track from Herbert's Globus Mix, Vol. 5: Letsallmakemistakes mix — opens and closes with samples from the Chills' fatalist classic "Pink Frost." The concluding "Glycerine," cloaked in midnight fog, is the eeriest of all, with panning ripples inducing further turbulence. A deep male voice intones like it's spinning a ghost story: "So we went down that way to the castle/Everything was...foggy." If it hadn't already been made readily apparent, Dial has positioned itself as the premier goth (not Goth) label. This album challenges Lawrence's The Absence of Blight as the label's best to date.

Black Tambourine - The Complete Recordings (1999)

--- Quote ---Black Tambourine was one of the first (and finest) bands to grace the Slumberland catalog -- the label's reissue of their work collects all of the material from the short string of singles they released before moving on to other projects. Slumberland's decision to collect and reissue the material is commendable -- Black Tambourine's work can truly be described as seminal, not only because the band's members moved on to such excellent projects (Archie Moore and Brian Nelson to Velocity Girl, and Pam Berry to the Glo-Worms and the Castaway Stones), but also because the band's sound practically defines the state of indie rock in the early '90s, when many American bands were looking to Britain's shoegazing trend for inspiration. As one might expect, Black Tambourine's noisy guitars and ethereal female vocals tend to sound like a more conventionally indie pop-based warm-up to the blissful noise of Velocity Girl's Copacetic -- in fact, the material on Complete Recordings frequently surpasses Copacetic, with its shambling and C-86 influences lending it a purity and indie charm that was traded for focus and complexity at the onset of Velocity Girl's career. The album also serves as a time capsule for the indie-pop culture of its contemporaries -- there's the inordinate number of songs about crushes, songs about crushes on Stephen Pastel ("Throw Aggi from the Bridge"), a high level of attention to British music, and all of the other indie-pop hallmarks that spread during the '90s (as typified by some wonderfully nostalgic liner notes). It's doubtful that too many of the bands that followed in this vein drew their inspiration specifically from Black Tambourine, but there's still a heavy debt owed to them, and Slumberland's reissue of Complete Recordings is an excellent way to pay it.

--- Quote from: RedLion on 11 Jan 2009, 03:46 ---I've heard all the Springsteen comparisons, but I'm not one to notice them. Mostly because I have never had the chance to listen to him. I wouldn't know where to start, really.

You can't go wrong with Born to Run. The Wild, The Innocent and the E Street Shuffle is a good starting point, too. After that, his work got a lot more brooding and serious. Darkness on the Edge of Town, The River, and Nebraska are all excellent, but they're dark, dark albums.

I would say Greetings From Asbury Park is my favorite at this moment and time, and it's pretty upbeat as well. Nebraska is a monumental work and a pretty unique album in the Springsteen catalogue.
If I understood anything about this mediaf!re uploading business I would potentially upload them. Maybe that could be a motivator to start contributing to this thread.
edit: I got beaten to the punch! Thanks, though, for the uploads!
