The M/F Thread 2009: The Quickening
E. Spaceman:
We want it. Here is an idea: make a mix of what you have and upload it here.
This is a thing I would like other people to do actually.

Hey Braintoad I'm glad you enjoyed the Bezed'h album. I am downloading your post right now. I was going to post some Gogol Bordello as I think a lot of people would like it. I did a quick search of the forums first though; and that brought up quite a few posts about them. So I will hold off on that as they seem pretty well known around here.
So instead I thought I would post a couple of albums that sound absolutely nothing like them.
Dead Can Dance - Spleen & Ideal
Review by way of All Music Guide
--- Quote ---With this amazing album, Dead Can Dance fully took the plunge into the heady mix of musical traditions that would come to define its sound and style for the remainder of its career. The straightforward goth affectations are exchanged for a sonic palette and range of imagination. Calling it "haunting" and "atmospheric" barely scratches even the initial surface of the album's power. The common identification of the duo with a consciously medieval European sound starts here -- quite understandable, when one considers the mystic titles of songs, references to Latin, choirs, and other touches that make the album sound like it was recorded in an immense cathedral.

I had a really hard time deciding which Dead Can Dance album to upload as there are quite a few really good ones. I find that the Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble (posted earlier in this thread) really reminds me of this group. I think it has to do with the mood of the music and I find that both bands provide very moody and dark music. Really worth a listen if you haven't heard the band before. Don't get turned away by the gothic tag that is slapped on the band; they are much, much more.

Discipline - Unfolded Like Staircase
Review by way of All Music Guide
--- Quote ---What we have is four long pieces or musical acts each being divided into movements or scenes. We open with "Canto IV," superbly, forcefully launched with a determined, I've-got-something-to-say-angst attitude. It stomps over you with that Led Zeppelin "Kashmir" progression. At times I heard Traffic when Parmenter's sax slipped in. Much Kansas washed over me. Parmenter's vocals are compelling, strong, and you are gripped quickly. He even uses a modified howling late in the CD, calling to mind Warren Zevon's "Werewolves of London". It is not overdone in the slightest.

This album is everything that modern prog rock should be. This is not just an indie band with a concept album or something with way too much keyboard. This is not something with prog influences or a band imitating the 70's, and it is definitely not metal. This is powerful, turbulent, and polished rock music.

Ok I'll open up my uploads with this:
The Living End- From Here On In
This CD is a collection of all the band's singles and a few really killer B-sides. In Australia this band is fairly mainstream these days with every music nerd I know professing that they liked them more when they weren't so overplayed (that being said I haven't heard any of their new songs once on the radio) but I'm not sure if you've even heard of them.

They play an eclectic mix of Rockabilly, Punk, Hardcore and Rock in Australian accents that is extremely refreshing for anyone who is sick of the same whiny punk singer sound. They've sung songs about union riots and development in Melbourne. I highly reccomend them.

Do you mean mixtapes? If so, maybe another thread would be good? There was one in the past but its gone to that thread cloud in the sky now.
valley_parade:
To be fair, that's only because Muxtape went down.
I'd really dig a mixtape thread, though.
