The thread on R.E.M. made me think about the other other great Athens band of the 80s. Pylon. The B-52s promoted them incessantly and Bill Berry from R.E.M. said they were the best band in America. I ain't too sure about the best but a contender? definitely. And it just so happens that their first two albums have been reissued by DFA Records with some extra goodies

re-discovered this album.  hazy, dreamy folk, reminiscent of mojave 3's "spoon and rafter", but this was recorded in 1972.  hope you enjoy.

Tegan and Sara - Sainthood [2009]



Code: [Select]
http://www.mediaf!re.com/?mevttnjznmb
I like this a lot more than I thought I would. It didn't quite capture me the same way that Metric's Fantasies did (ferociously and obsessively), but the more I listen to it the more it grows on me. This is helped by the fact that the first two songs are experimental glitch/disco-esque tunes instead of the usual immediate indie pop catchiness that I associate with Tegan and Sara. But then "Hell," "The Cure," "Northshore," and "The Ocean" grace my speakers and I swoon. Slowly but surely I listen to this more and more. Highly, highly recommended.

EDIT:

Here's final track "Someday," which has apparently glitched out:

Rules:

No hot-linking images or albums. You can re-host images at http://imageshack.us.

Ensure your tags are correct and that you have specified both Artist/Album in your post.

Upload your files in either a .zip or a .rar archive to mediaf!re.com, in multiple parts if the album is over 100mbs. The reason for this is that we know mediaf!re is safe and efficient and allows multiple downloads. The ads on other sites, such as Sendspace, are known to contain viruses on the page. Get yourself checked out.

Post your link using code tags. It's the # icon above the policeman emoticon. This prevents the links from being traced back to the forums, lowering the chance that the wrong people notice the thread, potentially threatening Jeph with legal action.

ALSO, PLEASE DO NOT REQUEST ALBUMS. This includes requests for re-uploads; if you miss it, try looking for it somewhere else.

Repost the rules at the top of each new page.

Regarding the Tegan/Sara album, I have the track Someday, it's just got a big lump of white noise around the middle. Unless that's them being artsy, I think something's wrong with the file.
The rest of the album is great though, including the parts I could hear. These last few pages have really brought out the best in this thread.

EDIT-thanks below!

One of my favorites of the year. I shoudn't have posted the album art, because when you're listening to him there's no way you'd expect him to be a young white dude as opposed to an awesome black soul singer from the 60's/70's. Really awesome soul with a little bit of funk, tongue planted firmly in cheek, but not so much that it stops being awesome. Really, if you can listen to "Just Ain't Gonna Work Out", and "Your Easy Lovin" and not think this is awesome music you're doing something wrong. Get psyched on this record dudes.

This is an interesting record, he reminds me of that Remy Shand bloke from a few years back. Guy made one reasonably solid blue-eyed soul record and promptly vanished into the outer realms of obscurity. I think the problem with both records is that they're a bit on the nose, though they're original compositions, the tracks sound more like tribute records to their idols. Still, even if they rely exclusively on their influences for inspiration, the music is undeniably catchy as hell.

The link to this one has gone dark... I love the Remy Shand LP, still makes the rotation every so often. Any chance of a fix/re-up?

Cory Chisel and the Wandering Sons - Death Won't Send a Letter (2009) ~ AAC 256



Code: [Select]
http://www.mediaf!re.com/?zyomnzzyfww
Quote
After a widely acclaimed 2008 EP 'Cabin Ghosts,' relentless touring, and months spent in the studio, Cory Chisel is putting the finishing touches 'Death Won't Send A Letter,' his debut full-length for Black Seal Records, coming out September 29.

The album's first single, the haunting, defiant renegade's tale "Born Again," was co-written with Brendan Benson, and features backing from bassist "Little Jack" Lawrence (Raconteurs, The Dead Weather), and drummer Patrick Keeler (The Raconteurs, The Greenhornes). A behind the scenes look at the recording sessions for "Born Again" can be viewed now on Cory's website.

'Death Won't Send A Letter' was recorded primarily at Blackbird studios in Nashville, with Grammy-winning producer Joe Chiccarelli (The Shins, The White Stripes) at the helm. In addition to the aforementioned musicians others who contributed to the album include My Morning Jacket guitarist Carl Broemel, and Cory's longtime backing vocalist/keyboard player Adriel Harris.

The son of a Baptist minister, Cory Chisel hails from Appleton, WI, where his hometown shows have drawn crowds of over 2500 fans. Since releasing 'Cabin Ghosts' last year, Cory has toured with Rachel Yamagata, Meiko, The Low Anthem and others.

FRISKA VILJOR - FOR NEW BEGINNINGS (2009) [MP3, 320kbps]

Code: [Select]
http://www.mediaf!re.com/?mgmhzozmgtr
Quote
those of you that have heard of friska viljor before probably know the story of how daniel johansson and joakim sveningsson started the band after both their relationships had gone down the drain. those of you that haven't heard of the band still know this particular kind of story far too good. heartache has always been one of the prime catalysts for artistic work, and every artist sees their own suffering as something unique, and their thoughts and work about it as something the whole world should share, says daniel.

after four years using music as a cheap therapist both daniel and joakim have now come to the point in their lives when it's time for a fresh start. this clearly shows on the band's third album ”for new beginnings”. the lyrics no longer consists solely of broken hearts. instead there's stories of happiness, sorrow and hope. you'll get some soul searching in if i die now, a bit of nostalgia in the childhood portray manwhore, and some apathy in hibiskus park. there's also some changes in the music. you still get the drastic leaps between genres and the bands typical instrumentation with everything from mandolin, ukelele and glockenspiel to accordion, clarinet and saw. but you can clearly sense a new direction, away from euphoric choruses towards depth and seriousness. - Myspace Blurb

FaltyDL - Bravery EP
Quote from: FACT Magazine
Like a lot of people, I find myself a bit irritated by the the idea of "wonky" as a genre, but unable to get away from increasingly using the term as more and more gloriously psychedelic and off-beam beat music appears around the world. Likewise, "future garage", though it does describe post-dubstep sounds that Martyn, Kode 9, Whistla, Brackles, Joy Orbison, Untold and co are all to some degree operating within, doesn't really feel satisfactory as a genre either. But maybe it might be possible to see these two terms not as fenced-off areas, but as poles or attractors within the much broader flux of current synth-funk? Certainly recent releases like Zomby's One Foot Ahead Of The Other, and this mini-album of new material from New Yorker Drew Lustman, suggest that there are plenty of artists able to traverse between both poles, and further abroad to boot, without losing their identity.

Bravery kicks off with the undeniably "wonky" technique of untethering the drums of 'Make Me Feel So Right' from quantised patterns, allowing them to slide out of kilter slightly differently in each bar.  But this is not just IDM wanking: play this track as loudly as it deserves, and you realise that it is still a club track, its irregularity being a very purposeful and effective form of disorientation, and that the warm subs and diva vocal snippets that knit the whole thing together being far more than just signifiers of a rave/garage past (although they are that too), but are there for their instant and powerful effect on the listener's nervous system.  The album ends with 'Discant', a lovely piece of analogue boogie not so very far from what DâM-FunK is doing at the moment, with the added crunch 909s that could come from an early 90s Eddie Fowlkes or Blake Baxter track.

In between, the tracks veer between hip hop swing and a zippier style that concertinas the whole history of disco through house into UK garage. Whatever the tempo though, the funk synth interjections and tricksy shuffle sound like what Luke Vibert might be capable of if he dropped his insistence on whimsical elements in favour of more of a city swagger. There's a rich soul gloss to the production, not quite the terrifying 80s cocaine-soul/Steely Dan sheen of Hudson Mohawke, but  certainly in a way that shows no interest in the lo-fi = underground equation. Despite the tempo shifts, the record is extraordinarily coherent, and alongside DâM-FunK, Hud Mo, Dorian Concept and others suggests that maybe we need to start thinking more broadly for our genre terms: yes there are wonky and garage elements here but ultimately it's great 21st century computer funk, so who's got a catchy genre name for that?

Baroness - Blue Record



Quote
Georgia-based psychedelic rock band (calling them a metal act seems very reductive, though there's some seriously headbangable material on this disc) Baroness has made a subtle but unmistakable evolutionary leap on this, their second full-length and a clear companion piece to 2007's Red Album. It's hard to say exactly what new guitarist Pete Adams has brought to the band after replacing drummer Allen Blickle's brother Brian, but the band's established blend of Southern sludge riffs, druggy instrumental journeys, and melodic interstitial interludes, all propelled by a particularly thudding drum sound and held together by John Baizley's hoarse but clean vocals and gorgeous cover art, are even stronger now than before. The transition from the almost Moody Blues-like "Steel That Sleeps the Eye" into the crunching hard rock epic "Swollen and Halo" is just one example of Baroness' seamless melding of moods through technique and compositional acumen. There are numerous interludes on the disc -- basically, any track shorter than four minutes is an exploration of a riff followed by a dissolve into sound effects or keyboard swooshes, slowly dissolving into the next actual song. "Ogeechee Hymnal," for example, offers one of the album's heaviest riffs, but it's a mere appetizer before "A Horse Called Golgotha," a suitably galloping prog-metal epic that effectively conquers Mastodon's territory, and includes some astonishing guitar leads. This is a ferocious album that's not afraid to be genuinely beautiful. One of the best hard rock releases of 2009.

It's a compilation of great post-punk singles that Rough Trade put out in 1980. Recommended if you like post-punk in any shape, way or form.

Been pretty addicted to this record lately

Current 93-I Have a Special Plan for this world(2000)

Quote
I Have A Special Plan For This World" is a longform single by the English band Current 93. The lyrics are taken from a poem of the same name by the author Thomas Ligotti and spoken by David Tibet.Musically, I Have A Special Plan For This World was a temporary return of sorts by Current 93 to their experimental post-industrial roots, using various unconventional musical instruments and techniques (synthesised drones, found sound, a circuit-bent Speak & Spell) while dispensing almost entirely with the minimal acoustic guitar and piano melodies that characterised the group's sound at that point. There was, however, some continuity musically, as the single expanded upon both the nihilistic themes and experimental musical motives which appeared in the Inmost Light trilogy of albums which appeared five years prior.

Although recorded in the late '60s, the material included on Can's Delay...1968 did not appear commercially until 1981. A collection of cuts featuring early vocalist Malcolm Mooney, these seven songs are among the very first Can tunes ever recorded; while nowhere near as intricate or assured as the group's later work, the visceral energy of tracks like the deranged "Uphill" and "Butterfly" is undeniable. -AMG

Quote from: allaboutjazz.com
What's always been remarkable about this band is its ability to be texturally rich yet atmospheric and spacious at the same time. One might think that having three guitarists would create a potential for excessive harmonic density and the occasional train wreck, but everyone's listening skills are so advanced that things never get cluttered, despite the number of players.

Garden of Eden also proves the malleability of Motian's writing. Motian's tunes range from the maelstrom-like temporal elasticity of "Mumbo Jumbo" to the dark and ethereal "Etude" and the lyrically folksy "Mesmer," where Motian's light but busy playing seems at odds with the more languid phrasing of the horns and guitars. They could easily be imagined played by his trio with Bill Frisell and Joe Lovano. There's inherently more activity here, but it shows just how far Motian has evolved as a writer with a distinctive voice that transcends context.

Motian may turn 75 this year, but on the strength of Garden of Eden it's clear that he's in the midst of a musical renaissance; advancing age needn't be synonymous with a dilution of the creative juices.

Quote from: www.jazzreview.com
Tierney Sutton, is a jazz vocalist quite unlike any performing today; she has a genuine and unique approach to jazz resulting in a sound that is hers and hers alone. Tierney would say that the sound is not hers alone, she is a member of the band, and the sound is theirs alone. I believe both she and I would be right.

The Tierney Sutton Band is a philosophical anomaly in the music world. The band has no diva, no boss, no black sheep. What they have is a team that allows them to take big chances and pull off the extraordinary in creating music. It's a matter of trust, shared values, and listening very carefully to each other. Sutton's music is literary in being not just beautiful noise; it is also specific mind frames that can't be expressed otherwise. On the album insert that accompanies Telarc's recording of On the Other Side Tierney writes, "In the United States, our founding fathers guaranteed us among other things, "the pursuit of happiness." I always found it amusing that we aren't guaranteed the thing itself, but rather the right to chase after it. Mystics tell us it is the chase that causes our problems… Sometimes it seems to me what the Declaration of Independence really guarantees is a broken heart, but that's not the whole story… Music is about the search." - Tierney Sutton (from the Telarc Jazz Record On the Other Side)

The Band, consisting of Tierney, Christian Jacob on piano, Kevin Axt and Trey Henry, and Ray Brinker on drums, has been together for close to fifteen years. In the last two years, they have released two remarkable albums with Telarc: I'm With The Band and On The Other Side. Both of these compilations show how seamlessly these very talented musicians work together and demonstrate Tierney's mastery of vocal music. I'm With The Band was Tierney's first live album and On the Other Side is her most daring concept record to date. On the Other Side is now ten months old.

If they ever make a biopic about Madeliene Peyroux there'll be no shortage of key moments to for them to illustrate; busking around Europe as a teenager; 2004's Careless Love selling over a million; record company-hired private detectives trying to track her down after she goes AWOL.
It'll all make great Hollywood for sure. However, it's likely that the most important scene will be the making of this, her fourth album since 1996.
Despite occasionally tossing a tune of her own into an appealing though often undemanding best-selling blend of jazz and blues, for the bulk of her career she's been praised as an interpreter rather than a writer of songs.
Now collaborating with producer Larry Klein, Julian Coryell (son of jazz guitar legend Larry) and Steely Dan's Walter Becker amongst others, she's begun to delve deeper into her own experiences.
Damn The Circumstances and Love And Treachery capture the moment when anyone who's ever been in love, wakes up at 3 a.m. to be haunted or taunted by what's got them to that particular point in their life.
Klein's production tenderly embraces Peyroux's brooding muse, whilst pianist Jim Beard's understated eloquence is often the album's quiet star.
There was a time when if someone said that Ms.Peyroux had a great voice, the smart reply was ''yes, but it's a pity it belongs to Billie Holiday''. With Bare Bones she's finally finding her own. The really interesting part of the Madeleine Peyroux story starts here.

Efterklang & The Danish National Chamber Orchestra - Performing Parades



Code: [Select]
http://www.mediafire.com/?uklwkvdovtu
Quote from: DiS
Efterklang inhabit another world, a world which, if the earth contained no human life, Parades would be fit to soundtrack. Their sound is not post-apocalyptic; it’s more symbolic of what came before than what will come after. It's the sound of Mother Nature winding gradually along, where all is well in a land before civilisation, a time of passing serenity versus the bold and beautiful creation of life. All of the above was abundant in their magnum opus that is 2007’s Parades, a record which gained full marks on these very pages.

Performing Parades is not only the logical extension and conclusion of the original; it’s a step up from it. Yes. That original may not especially need bringing to life, already bristling and bustling with an array of organic creeping and crawling, but it has been brought to life, well and truly, with a more than fair-sized helping hand from The Danish National Chamber Orchestra.

There is a certain density that accompanies Efterklang. They are not a band who are more than a mouthful, or an acquired taste, but if you aren’t truly dialled-in to the extravagant orchestration and subtle changes in tone and texture, then proceedings can seem even impenetrable. This is nothing more than a minor flaw, and as was written by a far wiser man of an issue far more lofty than Danish symphonic musical experimentation: “the harder the struggle the more glorious the triumph” – and those are words which resonate for Efterklang. The pay-off comes from repeat listens when, importantly, context and understanding is gained – among the peripheral percussion, glitches, group chanting, and belting brass, each part, large or small, fits and blends to form what is a magnificent tapestry.

Those parts, though, are separate in name if not in concept and execution. The high point is steady, from the initial, twitching, tense, discordant strings of ‘Polygene’ through the heart of the album and out the other end. It is bottomless in its brilliance. So enchanting are vast swathes of this record – the spectral slowing 87 seconds of ‘Mimeo’ followed by the progression from carefree to burdened with a sack of sadness that is ‘Frida Found A Friend’ – it’s easy to forget the variety of the 11 tracks. ‘Caravan’ is the one which acts most like a traditional rock track, with its chiming guitar and dirty bassline but even this proves to be an imposter to convention and tradition, being outlasted by more choral exchanges and Nordic mastery of mystery.

The band’s approach to Parades and the process of Performing Parades cannot and should not be understated. Naturally, the DVD footage of the performance is a pretty neat addition, and one which certainly ties together the whole release and is arguably as much its reason for being as the audio. This is best appreciated and understood when seeing the Danish National Chamber Orchestra in fairy-tale garb. That said, so easy is it to get lost in the variation and stories in sound that the music alone will, ironically, always have just a little extra. The live show is not exactly bulging with rock‘n’roll hyperactivity, and the orchestral additions obviously move us further towards the grand, as is intention. Hearing the rapturous reception from the on looking Danes, you’re reminded that the film footage is only going to be an infinitesimal percentage of genuinely feeling the nuances and intricacies through the stomach, the neck hairs, and the spine, rather than just the ears.

It doesn’t really need to be said again, and although a 10/10 review for Parades the first time round may have seemed a little hyperbolic, it wasn't. It’s a record which is an unending masterpiece and, if at all possible, Performing Parades adds to it - not standalone, but complementing.

Burning Hearts-Aboa Sleeping(2009)

Code: [Select]
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?yvyg2mognzi
Quote from: ALLMUSIC
The Burning Hearts are Le Futur Pompiste's Jessika Rapo and Cats on Fire's Henry Ojala, and in a way the project can be seen as a mash-up of both bands. Like Le Futur Pompiste, the Burning Hearts sound a bit frosty and austere thanks to Rapo's ethereal, detached vocals and some new wave-y synth swooshes. And like Cats on Fire, the Burning Hearts' tunes are graced with a heavy dose of C-86-style jangliness and reverb. The whole thing comes off sounding a lot like the Radio Dept. and the Bridal Shop; but what sets the Burning Hearts apart is Rapo and Oljala's creative chemistry -- they've come up with a really solid album of synthy, jangly songs that, while they do sound familiar, have a wintry sheen that's all their own. "Sea Birds" offers a great example of everything the Burning Hearts are doing well on Aboa Sleeping: what with its knotty, dramatic basslines, irresistible hookiness, and shimmering vocals, it has the dense, humid feel of a fever dream. "I Walked Among the Trees" is another stand-out track -- opening with a tangle of spacy synth effects worthy of Gary Numan, the song develops into an icy-sweet mix of jangliness and synth pop that sounds something like a cross between a-ha and Altered Images. Aboa Sleeping is a subtle, moody little disc, and it's promising to boot.

Found it rather odd that this album wasn't in here

http://www.mediaf!re.com/download.php?fw3qyymngkwI've been giving No Salvation more attention but upon a recent listen I've realized this is their best album. These guys melt face live and in my option are one of the only "heavy" bands worth any attention from the states. Socially conscious crust sludge punk n roll. If you like bands like Black Flag, Redd Cross and the more recent Can-a-duh hardcore like Fucked Up and Cursed, you win.
