The M/F Thread 2009: The Quickening
valley_parade:
I'm just hoping that the AmAnSet reunion show at SXSW next month leads to a full tour and new material. Though I guess Andrew Kenny's busy with Wooden Birds, now.

I'm gunna guess not. I'd say this is just a one time thing for now. I'm pretty sure this is a free day show too with free beer. Yippee!!!!

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.
Before you post in this thread, take a minute and consider the following:
Think of this as the community chest. Everyone is free and encouraged to contribute to it, with that in mind:
* This thread is for you to share the music that you love for people who would normally not be able to access it. This is not an everything-goes-all-the-time mp3 blog.
* Think about what you are uploading. Is it easily available elsewhere and popular? If yes, is it really worth it to upload and post here?
* Have some self control. Is it really necessary to upload the entire discography of this band? Is it all really so excellent? If it is, don't worry. Whoever downloads this will surely realise this and look for more material on their own.
To return to the community chest, imagine you one day open the chest and everyone threw everything inside it. There's probably more things that you can use there now, but they are now buried in a mountain of debris and you'll likely miss the good stuff anyway! Imagine though, that you come to the chest one day and you find that everyone thought about what might best serve us all and the neatly placed it inside. This is what this thread should be.

I have an incredibly hard time falling asleep quite often (thinking too much ought to be the culprit)
but I'm wondering if someone can tell me of an album or upload something that is just absolutely perfect for falling asleep to?
I'm not looking for something very wordsy or weird or out there in terms of originality.
I'm just looking for something that feels like a pillow and hums like the wind blown from a goddess of dreams.
Usually I just fall asleep to Pink Floyd, Nick Drake, Broken Social Scene, or like..very select albums but lately none of the above are cutting it.
Thanks!! :angel:

This is the best album I've ever found for falling asleep. Just put it on repeat and go. It's also ridiculously rare, unfortunately.

The D'Urbervilles - We Are Hunters (2008)

--- Quote ---If you’ve never heard of The D’Urbervilles I suggest you go now to iTunes and buy a copy of We Are The Hunters. Go right now, I can wait. You think I’m kidding, I’m not. D’Urbervilles really is one of Canada’s best kept secrets but like all secrets they won’t be a secret much longer. This group, based in Guelph, is making some of the most outstanding and original music out there.
The D’Urbervilles are not to be confused with a roots/country band by the same name. This D’Urbervilles is certainly not roots/country at all. Not even close. With vocals that are a cross between Jim Morrison and Ian Curtis with a bit of Paul Banks (Interpol) thrown in for good measure, jazzy beats, rocking guitars, smart lyrics and funky bass lines, this CD will get your blood up and dancing along with the rest of you. May I suggest listening to this in an empty room because otherwise I suspect to will do damage to yourself while bouncing around.

They Mean Us - Friendship Lottery (2007)
--- Code: ---http://www.mediafire.com/?vrzjnd2zz4z

--- Quote ---They Mean Us play simple, up-tempo mathy-postish-indie rock with a certain je ne sais quoi that permeates every aspect of this beautifully orchestrated semi-progressive instrumental euphoria. Celestial in tone, yet earthy in approach, this Texan sextet embosses a depth and tone to their music that has more in common with Scandinavian jazz heads The Samuel Jackson Five and Cleveland’s To Be a High Powered Executive than other Texan standard bearers. They Mean Us exist wholly apart from today’s derivative, boring post-rock and electronic scenes, spanning a breadth of styles and genres so gracefully it’s shocking to learn they haven’t been around since 1995 at the least.
Perhaps They Mean Us are most readily compared to the influx of emo influenced bands from the midwest in the 90’s. My ears detect hints of American Football, Cap ‘n Jazz, and Owen, but Friendship Lottery’s sound is that same clean guitar fueled jazzy aesthetic filtered through 10+ years of post rock, morphed into a truly powerful listening experience. Too many bands with such a wide array of styles and instruments at their disposal rely on creating an “envelope” of sound. They Mean Us uses the expanded palette of cello, dual guitar, electronics, bass and drums to develop a sort of focused perspective, initially drawing the listener from one theme to another, highlighting not individual instruments, but individual articulations and phrases. A calming, ghastly mood of defined purpose dominates this album, spreading an impassioned light of thoughtful preciseness, and that very precision gives this album a math rock feel with out jarring instrumentation or overly complex rhythmic accompaniment. There is no bad member, nor even a bad performance, in this group. They play off of, and occasionally on top of, each other very well. The diverse use of strings never conflict or bury each other in the mix. This speaks for the album’s fantastic production and the talent of the musicians behind it.
