OK so if you've ever clicked on this thread's title instead of the "new" button or the last page, and found yourself on the probably-now-totally-defunct first page, you've seen my upload of the album "The Curse of the Universe" by the Psychedelic Avengers.

I just found the followup.

Hey, they played my house a month ago.  They're AWESOME.  Thanks (on behalf of the people who don't know their music already)!

[Dimmukane]

I knew they had a follow-up, because I saw the artwork, but I could not for the life of me find it anywhere.  Granted, I didn't check a LOT of digital stores, but Amazon didn't have it, so I'm surprised you were able to get a hold of it.

[onewheelwizzard]

Pretty simple dude.

I googled "psychedelic avengers rapidshare."

You'd be surprised at how often that strategy works.

[Dimmukane]

See, I tried that about 4 months ago and didn't get anything.  When did their follow-up come out?  I saw the artwork on the internet around the same time the first album was posted in this thread.

[onewheelwizzard]

2006, apparently.  I think I just got lucky to be honest.

Those of you who looked in the soul thread may have noticed a post containing Lee Moses. I certainly did. In fact, I was utterly shocked by how good the song was and immediately downloaded the album. Well, I'd like to share it with you, because it's insane.

Lee Moses - Time And Place



This stuff is amazing. At it's best, it's some of the best pop/soul music I've ever heard. When the bass gets going, the drums get rolling and horns stabbin', Lee Moses singing in the most incredible voice in all of creation it takes your breath away. Just listen to the youtube link in the soul thread if you need proof, or to the astounding, heart wrenching 'My Adorable One'. Download, you will not be disappointed. It's hard to believe this guy isn't talked about more.

This has become one of my favorite albums as of late. Serge Gainbourg is something like the French Leonard Cohen, but even that isn't an accurate description. This album is pretty short. It clocks in at under 40 minutes but there is not a dull moment. the entire thing is fantastic from start to finish. I don't post stuff unless it's really really good. This is REALLY REALLY GOOD. listen now.

enjoy.

You don't need to speak a word of French to understand Histoire de Melody Nelson -- one needs only to look at the front cover (with its nearly pornographic portrait of a half-naked nymphet clutching a rag doll) or hear the lechery virtually dripping from Serge Gainsbourg's sleazily seductive voice to realize that this is the record your mother always warned you about, a masterpiece of perversion and corruption. A concept record exploring the story of -- and Gainsbourg's lust for -- the titular teen heroine, Histoire de Melody Nelson is arguably his most coherent and perfectly realized studio album, with the lush arrangements which characterize the majority of his work often mixed here with funky rhythm lines which underscore the musky allure of the music. Perhaps best described as a dirty old bastard's attempt to make his own R&B love-man's record along the lines of a Let's Get It On (itself still two years away from release), it's by turns fascinating and repellent, hilarious and grim, but never dull -- which, in Gainsbourg's world, would be the ultimate (and quite possibly the only) sin.

Black Eyes are Dan, Daniel, Hugh, Jacob, and Mike. They began playing as Black Eyes in August of 2001, although most of the band had played together previously in Trooper and the No-Gos before that. The band's first-full length was released on Dischord in 2003 following several singles on Ruffian Records and Planaria. Black Eyes created a unique live experience as the members made a symmetrical shape on stage, two drummers, one on either side of the stage, two bass players, one at the back and one at the front, and one guitarist in the middle. Their shows were chaotic and renown for melting into a frenzied, rhythmic jam sessions with most of the audience partaking in the mayhem by the end of the set. After an extensive tour with Q and Not the band released their second full-length, "Cough" in May of 2004. This album introduced saxophone to the mix and relied more heavily on improvisational and dub influences hinted at in their earlier work. The band broke up shortly before the album was released, at the height of their popularity.

Nico Vega

http://www.mediafire.com/?rn32mmzgwyo

Bolstered by a recording deal with Myspace Records – not to mention 60,000 friends and a million-plus page views and counting on the social networking site – it’s a pretty safe bet Nico Vega’s self-titled debut has a built-in audience long before it falls on any ears. If the band’s snarling rock goddess in the making for a lead has anything to say about it, the hoards of e-groupies won’t be disappointed. The three-piece swerves deftly through rattling rock ‘n roll, indie shoe-gaze and funk, but it’s lead singer Aja Volkman that steals the show. Her Karen O meets Janice Joplin-type of swagger is often nothing short of mesmerizing.

Basically if you're a fan of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs but were disappointed with all the synthesizers on the new album, GRAB THIS RECORD RIGHT NOW.

The second LP from Swedish electronic musician Axel Willner. I don't want to try and describe it, you should listen to it. But I will say it's furthur away from traditional "techno" than his last album, a very dream like sound for a lot of the album (especially Sequenced) , not far off from the sound fellow Swede Lindstrom. Fear not though, The Field 's signature looping style is still prevelant (though often much more subtle).

James Chance - Buy

Code: [Select]

http://www.mediafire.com/?otmeukgrwte

In 1979 the quintessential no wave group released two albums simultaneously; Buy was effectively the Contortions' debut, originally appearing on the indie label ZE, while the same project was released as Off White under the adopted alias of James White, one of the many identities of leader James Chance. The Contortions are considered to be one of the most important and influential groups of the New York no wave scene, which spawned the crazed postmodern persona of James Chance alongside Lydia Lunch, Mars, and DNA, among others. James Chance was a sort of avant lounge lizard personality cult who led numerous projects throughout the '80s, yet he never quite topped the warped distillation of punk, funk, and free jazz presented here, making Buy a pivotal recording of the New York post-punk era. His hybrid of free jazz sax blowing and agitated funk takes the contortions up a notch from the four tracks the band contributed to the Eno-produced No New York compilation, which debuted the furious angular syncopation of transfigured funk and disco rhythms which became the Contortions' signature. Chance's vocals and discordant sax will sound strangely familiar and appealing to fans of early Roxy Music and Television.

Moderat - Moderat

Apparat and Modeselektor are two of the leading names in Berlin’s thriving commingling of left-field techno and glitch, so the arrival of the portmanteau Moderat is akin to the launch of a Coke/Pepsi hybrid. Naturally, Moderat finds its constituent parts striking a balance between their respective areas of expertise, but more importantly, Moderat’s songs occupy new ground—a territory where the spacious warmth of ambient music and the claustrophobic chill that typifies dubstep can live in harmony. The opener, “A New Error,” begins with sun-warped tones ŕ la Boards Of Canada, is carried forth on a heavy bass-synth burble, and resolves in the kind of atmosphere usually found on Tim Hecker records. “Seamonkey” plays ominous, like a Flying Lotus track, but it’s even less hip-hop-derived than Modeselektor’s solo work, and instead gets its gravitas from analog sounds. Even the most traditionally dubstep song, “Slow Match,” is typified by its subtlest details—there’s virtually no reliance on bass drops, handclaps, or any other easy percussive crowd-pleaser. Instead, “Porc #1” is built around a nasty guitar line and clackety chopped beats, while the abutting “Porc #2” uses live bass and drums to climb to a panoramic finish. Moderat occasionally get lost in its own soup, and the two tracks where Apparat (a.k.a. Sascha Ring) sings might do better on an album of their own, but this remarkably fluid music proves the group is interested in becoming greater than the considerable sum of its parts.

Tom Burbank - Famous First Words

Alongside the likes of Kyler and The Kilimanjaro Dark Jazz Ensemble, Tom Burbank further extends the Planet Mu remit beyond the perceived boundaries of its splenetic catalogue - with 'Famous First Words' a glitchy river of melodic hip-hop and electronic intricacies. Very much a contemporary of Prefuse 73, Burbank's sound relies heavily on the slippage that occurs deep within the digital heart when all is not right; lending 'Famous Last Words' a moody and melancholic edge that marks him out from the usual cut-up merchants. Kicking off with 'Fragile', the usual tick-list of elements are undoubtedly present (juddery beats, bursts of electronics, disrupted emissions) - yet whilst others have seen the surface as all important, Burbank ensures a real depth exists that sees him happily ranked alongside the likes of edIT and Prefuse. From here, 'Knuckles' is brashly regimented in it's gun-fire of crumpled tronics, 'Stay One' goes straight for the widescreen jugular with watercolour soundscapes of some beauty, whilst 'Tha Chop' sees the acoustic and machine living in perfect harmony. Closing with the sun-bleached strings and Air-esque atmospherics of 'Riding Off', Burbank has delivered a blissfully simple debut that doesn't need to show off to get its point across.

Pavement - Brighten The Corners: Nicene Creedence Edition

8.7/10
For a band that often seemed be on the verge of a commercial breakthrough, Pavement made all the right moves-- they just did them in the wrong order. With its crystalline production (courtesy of R.E.M. architect Mitch Easter and Bryce Goggin) and more refined songcraft, Pavement's 1997 release Brighten the Corners was the logical follow-up to 1994's indie hit Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain. But of course, that move from A to B took a tangential turn back to Z with 1995's notoriously slapdash Wowee Zowee, an album beloved by the band's diehard fans, but one that effectively squandered any crossover potential Crooked Rain might have built up (and which would've made a lot more sense as Crooked Rain's predecessor than successor).

Brighten the Corners' more focused, melodic approach could thus be heard as the sound of Pavement making amends, but it arguably came too late-- by 1997, modern-rock radio was already tuning out brainy indie-rock in favour of pre-fab pop-punk and numbskull nu-metal. Pavement understood this shift all to well, which could be why Brighten the Corners sounds like their most self-aware and, by extension, honest album-- when Stephen Malkmus yells, "listen to me, I'm on the stereo!" on the album's excitable opening track, it's with the implicit knowledge that he'd have to settle for hearing himself on his home hi-fi rather than on KROQ.

Perhaps as an attempt to reconnect with their pre-Wowee Zowee catalogue, Brighten the Corners takes various structural cues from previous Pavement albums: as on 1992's Slanted and Enchanted, the second song fades into a brief instrumental; the slowly intensifying mid-song jam on third track "Transport Is Arranged" sounds like it was grafted from Crooked Rain's own third track "Stop Breathin"; and Malkmus still couldn't resist the glaring name-drop (though Crooked Rain's now-dated Stone Temple Pilots/Smashing Pumpkins swipes were replaced by more eternal ruminations about the peculiar oration of Geddy Lee). Consistent with this self-reflexivity, Malkmus cheekily addresses his own status as the most overanalyzed lyricist in 90s indie-rock, describing himself as "an island of such great complexity," declaring that "if my soul has a shape, well, then it is an ellipse," and even raging that he's "sick of being misread by men in dashikis and their leftist weeklies." (That said, it would take 11 years and one ridiculous Republican campaign to lend any significance to the line "there's no women in Alaska.")

The May 1997 Alex Ross New Yorker essay that accompanies this reissue-- the fourth in Matador's superlative series of Pavement packages-- focuses on Malkmus' lyrical gift for extracting substance out of nonsense, and the folly of trying to saddle it with literal interpretations. But on no other Pavement album do all those bon mots and non sequitirs form such a coherent picture of the band's emotional state. Even the album title-- the only one that doesn't rely on rhymes and/or alliteration-- is telling: Rather than re-ignite the band's commercial prospects, Brighten the Corners marked the beginning of Pavement's slow fade into the sunset, while shedding light on its principal songwriter's future course.

Not coincidentally, both Malkmus and co-founder Scott "Spiral Stairs" Kannberg turned 30 during the album's recording, and both sound consumed by all the melancholy, anxiety, loaded significance, and renewed perspective that life-change carries. Malkmus' charming, chiming "Shady Lane" reasserts the "settle down" sentiment of Crooked Rain's "Range Life", and "Transport Is Arranged" seems to address the historically conflicted dynamic between relationships and life on the road ("a voice coach taught me to sing, he couldn't teach me to love"); Kannberg's two exemplary contributions-- the Big Starry-eyed power-pop rush "Date w/ Ikea" and the smooth Stonesy funk of "Passat Dream"-- equate responsibility and commitment with consumerism.

Easter and Goggin's luminous production casts this wistfulness in an appropriately soft-focus lens; in return, the band, so scatterbrained on Wowee Zowee, turn in their most pleasingly patient performances of their career, establishing a deeper sense of space through the use of mellotrons, drum-machine breaks and synths set on "swoosh." The dreamily drifty centerpiece track "Type Slowly" now sounds like a dry run for the sort of exploratory jams Malkmus would fashion in his post-Pavement band the Jicks (a point driven home by the extended, more volcanic live version included here), while the closing two jangle ballads, "Starlings of the Slipstream" and "Fin" are two of the most affecting songs in the Pavement canon, each appended with guitar solos that compensate for Malkmus' still-developing chops with genuinely pained expression. If "Fin" didn't prove to be the band's actual swan song, the track does sound like a farewell to Pavement's wiseacre persona.

But if Brighten the Corners signaled a turn to the serious, the 32 outtakes and radio-session cuts compiled here give Pavement plenty of room to, as one B-side aptly puts it, "fuck around." Which means indie-rock in-jokes (the Pussy Galore pastiche of "Neil Hagerty Meets Jon Spencer in a Non-Alcoholic Bar"), 1960s pop goofs ("Nigel"), cartoon themes (two stabs at "Space Ghost"), and kill-yr-idols covers of the Clean (Kannberg's electro-fried take on "Oddity"), Echo and the Bunnymen (a Crazy Horsed interpretation of "The Killing Moon"), and heroes-turned-nemeses the Fall (a gleeful desecration of the already blasphemous "The Classical"). And in the seven-minute rough cut of stoner-rock dirge "(And Then) The Hexx" and the freewheeling biker-bar boogie of "Roll With the Wind", you can hear Malkmus moving ever closer to adopting his future role as beardless-hippie guitar hero.

According to the liner notes, "(And Then) The Hexx" was originally intended to be Brighten the Corners' opener, but its sinister creep would've made an awkward introduction to the album's more winsome, mellowed-out material. (The song eventually surfaced on 1999's Terror Twilight.) However, that same rationale might also explain why the terrific "Harness Your Hopes" was demoted to B-side status, it being perhaps the most typically Pavementy Pavement song ever: the reductive, repetitive Velvet Underground riff; the rhyme-a-second wordplay ("nun is to church as the parrot is to perch"); and a line that seemingly sums up the band's conflicted, outsider relationship with the pop world-- "Show me/ A word that rhymes with Pavement." Given that Brighten the Corners captured Malkmus trying to break free from Pavement's established aesthetic-- and given that, two years later at London's Brixton Acadmey, he would famously sum up his feelings about the band by waving a pair of handcuffs-- the word he was looking for was under his nose along: enslavement.

To not make my post completely narcissistic, I'm throwing in this eclectic release from an indietronic ... something.

Fnessnej - Stay Fresh, Ey (2008)

fnessnej is an instrumental quintet from darmstadt and mainz. This much is certain – or is it? I did hear some voice in one song. Or wait ? that might have been some weird instrument. Maybe sampled vocals? Below the line: elaborating fnessnej musical „elements“ turns out to be a problem. What’s left to say is: i see a stage full of gadgetry, little instruments hardly to define. Anyhow also two guitars, a bass, a drumset, several synthesizers - and no legroom. This much is certain.
In the current instrumentation, fnessnej is on the air since approximately 1968. In the course of time, the band clearly distanced itself from a playful, slightly electronic post-rock sound, dismembering a laptop and advancing to a new level of analog sound creation, experimenting on how to create a one-of-a-kind tonal cosmos. While stacking up on equipment in order to create this unique sound, fnessnej has become less of a quintet than an orchestra at this point. Anyhow, the band doesn’t commit itself to plain „tone-creation“ - more though to composition - fathoming the possibilities of instrumental music without ignoring structure and song itself. in-your-face songcollages, complex popsong-structures, loopbased experiments and disco-ish tunes – you’ll find them all. Musically, fnessnej has long emancipated from etiquettes such as "post-rock" and by now play a confident style throughout a broad stylistic diversity, which i again do not want to dimmish by defining an actually new style for his band (does this make sense?). then - as a last novelty, the band started to refuse the total refusal of vocal elements, conclusively eliminating any possibility of categorization. On stage, fnessnej are 5 giggly goofballs with red overalls and white motorbike helmets, sometimes hiding behind the world’s most stupid robot-annoucements in order to not open their own mouth, anyhow yelling the rare passages of vocals into no microphone at all, sometimes accompanied by fat old ohlson on mpc, trying to sing along and looking hot. Looking so hot.

The Payola Reserve-One Long Apology

Code: [Select]

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?bmilyvmomn3

On their debut album, Baltimore based The Payola Reserve create blissful ‘70s-inspired pop that blends Elvis Costello with Tom Petty, and throw in a little modern day alt-country for good measure. The song writing team of Ben Pranger and Al Pacheco are surprisingly comfortable on their first effort, as One Long Apology displays the confidence of seasoned veterans, not first-timers.

Throughout most of the album, the band elegantly manages to make social commentary without sounding pretentious. Opener ‘Music Is Not Music’ has all the potential to be a boring retread, but manages to avoid it. The real gem, however, is ‘Brave New Radio,’ on which Pranger channels Ric Ocasek with such enthusiasm that you can’t help but be sucked in.

Brimming with equal parts cockiness and playfulness – both well deserved – The Payola Reserve make a concerted statement with One Long Apology. This is one band to keep a serious eye on.

Here is a teaser sample: http://www.newsweek.com/id/40211#?t=14556524001&l=1785302026

I am uploading as soon as I give it a listen, or I can link the file I got.  It's supposed to feature "black metal-inspired lyrics" and "heavy-ass, weirdo hooks."

Psst. I like you.

And now for something completely different.

And no, it's not Monty Python. But it's not that far off

The State was a comedy troupe on MTV in the 90s. They made an album and for some reason or another, it was never released. Hopefully you're a fan of the group already and if so this album should help tide you over until the full series is released in July.

PS - It's worth noting that apart from tracks 1, 5, 6, 9 and 24, none of the real titles of the sketches are known. Of course, I think a good number of them are most likely accurate, but you never know.

*Bonus Treat*

Four Tet & Burial - Moth/Wolf Cub (2009) [320kbps]



So this is the new *super mysterious* Burial & Four Tet 12" that the internets are all in a frenzy about, though after listening I can understand why. Apparently both tracks (there's only two) are collabarations from the two artists so if you've heard , and enjoyed, either of them I'd say check it out.

This is the most piss-boring release i've heard in the last 10 years. Frankly, i'd expect this kind of humdrum crap from Four Tet, but Burial's clearly lost it.

After a first listen I think it's great, it's ultra repetitive but that's exactly what I wanted from it. Maybe a bit of a letdown because I love both artists and it didn't blow my mind, but two really solid tracks in my opinion.

Neva Dinova

The Hate Yourself Change

The last thing we heard from the long running but little recognized Omaha band Neva Dinova was 2004's One Jug of Wine, Two Vessels, a split EP with Bright Eyes. It seemed like Oberst was assisting a band he admired, one that would earn exposure and credibility by sharing an EP with him. Neva Dinova actually outshone Bright Eyes on the EP, as Jake Bellows's weary voice oozed over sepia-toned Americana that was clear and concise if occasionally a bit murky. Now that the group has become known outside of Omaha, here's its proper coming-out party, The Hate Yourself Change.

Neva Dinova has crafted a dreamy, slow-burning lament that is consistently pleasant, occasionally exceptional, and-- in inspired spurts-- aimed squarely at the FM band. This newfound directness from a band that used to play triple-guitar slowcore jumps out from the first track, "Hat O'er Eyes", which is comprised solely of treacly vocals and a folksy acoustic strum. Bellows has a rich, aching voice, like a rough-around-the-edges Jeff Buckley, yet refrains from the affected drama of Omaha heavy hitters like Oberst or Son, Ambulance's Joe Knapp. The sultry "Ahh" blossoms with angelic harmonies as Bellows switches between winsome emoting and a deadpan drawl; with its delicate phrasing, subtle shimmer, and steady increase in intensity, it wouldn't be out of place next to Coldplay. One of the few upbeat songs on the album, "She Can't Change", follows suit-- it's a steady build around a pristinely simple and poppy guitar figure.

But in the end, this same consistency may be what keeps Neva Dinova breaking out of Omaha. Too many of their songs are agreeable but interchangeable. "The Champion", Can't Wait to See You", "Blackest Heart", "Cold Calls", and "On/Off" have little to recommend one over the others: They're all depressive ballads that build to radiant peaks, tinged with gentle psychedelia, recessed harmonies, and Bellows's able but unvaried vocal presence. But there are bright flashes of deviation on The Hate Yourself Change that indicate Bellows is struggling out of his perennial mode. "A Picture in Pocket", with its lean, repetitive throb and tightly reverberating guitars, sounds a lot like Franz Ferdinand, especially the fey vocal chorus. And "I've Got a Feeling", the album's closer, trades in Bellows's lovelorn aphorisms for a more caustic vocal and lyrical turn, a weary, expletive-riddled screed that mounts toward the choral refrain, "The world's a shitty place and I want to die." Barring these aberrations, The Hate Yourself Change works best as an innocuous bedtime record; including them, it's a snapshot of a band taking a tentative step toward the next echelon of recognition and accomplishment.

Neva Dinova

Omaha-based Neva Dinova has put out a very tidy ten-song, self-titled album. Coming off as a cross between a dreamy, ambient guitar-fronted project, a lounge act ("Lucifer's Lament"), and an Americanized U2, the five lads in Neva Dinova don't seem to falter too much. This album seems suited for the bitter cold days of winter looking out onto pastoral landscapes. Tunes such as "Did You Disappoint Your God?" reflect this gentle mood. The next song, "At Least the Pain Is Real," reflects another side of the band, while not alienating anyone. It starts out with simple guitar and drum work and builds into a pseudo-Radiohead swagger until the chorus bursts at the seams, sending the song all over the place in a beautiful mess. Later on in the tune, the guitar plays out a delicate solo and at the point where one might think it'll play back on itself and repeat, it instead works nicely into a gentle distortion reminiscent of a refreshing drink from a natural waterfall. Definitely an album meant for the more starkly emotional months related back to autumn and winter, this self-titled work shows that there's more going on in Omaha than some might think.
