Minus the Bear & City on Film Split EP

Code: [Select]

http://www.mediaf!re.com/download.php?vcm001rxmjiFigured this would go over well considering the previous Minus the Bear postings.
Just two remixed little gems. Enjoy. Cool little fact. Track 1 is 4:34 and Track 2 is 3:44, same numbers haha

haha, slow down there big guy, are you accusing ME of something?!??!?!! (yes i had to use the smilie, it was necessary)

ME accuse someone of something??!! Nevverrr 

ALSO.. here speaking of little EP gems.. here is an EP by the Islands
it's only two previously unreleased songs 'Flesh' and 'Dnttakemy Wingz Away', a pair of offcuts that didn't quite make it to their Return To The Sea debut album. 'Flesh' lays down some disjointed indie funk, while the lexically abhorrent other track taps into some splendid Beatles-y form, with extremely pleasing results.

Personal request, nobody has to comply:

Add a few words of your own when you post an album? Allmusic reviews are fine and all, but one does enjoy knowing that real people listen to this music.

Mr. Tool,

This Malajube leak...

[pat101]

oo I had forgotten about Malajube completely, that should be enjoyable. Thank you.

[meanwhile]

so i've got catching up to do in terms of uploading, so here's some favorites from 3 completely different genres: chiptune, country, and drum n bass.



Sabrepulse - Turbo City

sounds like bleeps n bloops arranged in no-bullshit catchy melodies. if you've never heard chiptune before then this is a good place to start, if you've heard chiptune before and didn't like it then it's probably cause you weren't listening to sabrepulse. all his stuff is available for free around the net but it needs way more exposure.

Two Gallants - What the Toll Tells

sounds like dark unhappy country music with abrasive vocals and amazing lyrics, which is how country music should be imo. this band made me take off the "except country" clause from my "i like pretty much all kinds of music" (now its just classic rock ). very highly recommended.
best listened to drinking straight liquor

Therapy? - "Suicide Pact - You First"  (1999)

Code: [Select]

http://www.mediaf!re.com/?v4jztznzyjt
And as for having a few words to say about our uploads, how about a full review I did a year-and-a-half ago on sputnikmusic.com for this very album?

Irish noise-oiks Therapy? throw caution to the wind gambling their career on a scuzzy, mangy, beast of an album, and come up with a handful of aces.

Comeback albums. Fucking great aren't they? Either you're losing all bladder control in anticipation of your favourite band's return from hiatus, or you're wrapped in a pre-meditated smugness that says "they're so 4 years ago, they'll never top [insert critically acclaimed album.]" But either way, there's usually plenty to keep the hype machine rolling and the suspense levels high. But put yourself in the shoes of Andy Cairns and Michael McKeegan in 1999. Along with childhood friend Fyfe Ewing, they'd steadily built up a reputation as a solid touring band with a penchant for making their particular brand of melodic metal-edged punk a little more twisted than their contemporaries, when seemingly out of nowhere, their record sales went up tenfold with the release of Troublegum in 1994. A period of rock-star overindulgence followed, resulting in some rather unhealthy drug habits and the overblown (yet underrated) Infernal Love a year later. This period culminated in Ewing leaving the band, and replaced by Graham Hopkins and Martin McCarrick, before the whole band were shoved into a studio with record company expectations of them emerging with an album that would make them "The Irish Metallica." When the unprecedentedly strong Semi-Detached was released in 1998 after a string of stressful recording sessions, the band's record company repaid their efforts by folding and leaving the band for dead.

This brings us back to 1999. Commercially crippled by such a false start for the new incarnation of the band, Therapy? were label-less, near penniless, and as far as the general public were aware, defunct. So, in a last ditch attempt to hold onto their career as musicians, they gathered what money they had together and began recording what would become Suicide Pact - You First. Shortly after recording had commenced, they signed to the well-respected, but relatively small indie label Ark 21, informing their new bosses that the album they'd recieve in a few weeks' time would be uncompromising, un-commercial, and un-promoted. To release an album of such a petulant nature on such a small label (as a proposed comeback, no less), is like shaving a swear word in your pubic hair - you've got to really go out of your way to get many people to notice. Sure enough, Therapy? took razor to crotch and, smiling devilishly, began carving a massive "FUCK YOU!"

The lack of melodic hooks and commercial sheen to be found on Suicide Pact are indicative of the band's attitude at the time, and through the thick layers of distortion and fuzz, Cairns' songwriting panache and trademark black humour shine through brilliantly. Lines like "A handful of sour glory, a cup of poison joy/We're the devil's playthings; hate, kill, and destroy!" give insight into the mind of man with nothing to lose. It's no coincidence that Cairns adopts a much more menacing and growly vocal style here - it would seem that the general mindset of the band when writing these songs was "This could be our last record, so let's make sure we go out with a bang." Throwing convention to the wind, the melodic guitar lines and soaring vocal melodies of previous outings are all but absent here, replaced with scuzzy, dirty rock riffs, and a production that makes the listener feel as if he or she is sat in the middle of a darkened room while the music creeps menacingly out from the shadows, leaving a trail of dust and cobwebs behind it.

This dark and menacing feel perfectly compliments the angrier songs, like the groove-tastic "Jam Jar Jail" and the wild-eyed punk spazz-out that is "Other People's Misery," but the album centrepiece and surely one of the most emotionally hard-hitting songs Therapy? have written to date, "Six Mile Water" takes the darkness to new depths. Sounding like the bastard son of Joy Division and Lynyrd Skynyrd, it combines the bleak depression of the latter with the former's affinity for epic ballads laced with soulful guitar licks, all topped off with subtle cello work from McCarrick, making for a cinematic, beatiful piece of music. Another groove-based highlight is "Ten Year Plan," a savage spitting of bile at bands who "work for the man," showing that the band still harbour bitterness towards the major-label system that chewed them up and spat them out, but this anger only helps fuel the album's fire even more. All the anger and mournfulness collides with the "fuck you" attitude and comes to a head on album closer "Sister", itching and crawling with menace before exploding into a full-on rock chorus with Cairn's overdubbed wails carrying the album to an end.

Without promotion, the band had to rely solely on the strength of the music and their hard-touring work ethic to continue. Suicide Pact - You First was the sound of Therapy?'s last stand, a huge risk, and 8 years and 4 albums (and counting!) down the line, it's one that has paid off massively. No pretences, no tricks, no compromises; this is Therapy? Take them as they are or not at all.

4/5

I pulled this from website that I didn't remember the name of; so I'm just saying I won't take credit for this little tid-bit of info:

The Alan Lomax Collection: Southern Journey, Vol. 8 - Velvet Voices



Review from amazon:

This CD is part of an ambitious reissue program of folklorist (did someone say saint?) Alan Lomax's library of recordings. Recorded during a 1960 trip by Lomax to the Eastern Shores of Virginia, these are not the velvet voices of today's high-gloss studio productions. These are the actual voices of the gospel choirs, jubilee singers, and fisherman who continued to honor their African American musical traditions long after the rest of the world had plunged into the modern age. Colonial fife-and-banjo music is represented by the fascinating song "Joe Turner." The sparkling call-and-response of the "Menhaden Chanties" shows how fishermen once used song to lighten their load when pulling in their nets. But most impressive are the gospel groups the Silver Leaf Quartet and the Bright Light Quartet. Contrary to its title, "So Tired" by the Bright Light Quartet will have you doing cartwheels in the aisles and working happily all through the day

The review does quite a good job; basically it's a collection of recordings by Alan Lomax featuring a bunch of different southern musicians. Most of its' bluesy-ish songs with simply amazing, baritone harmonies that I can only describe as swirling. If you've seen O Brother Where Art Though, you know what roughly to expect. Plus, most of the songs are either about dirty dirty sex or religion, and how can you resist that?

Ok this one I just recently bought, and I haven't taken it out of my stereo since. Black metal again, but it has a real almost crust punk (i guess they call it grindcore here) edge to it, no guitar solos, no fucking around.  (they really remind me of Tragedy/His Hero is Gone only with metal, im not sure people would agree with me on that). Highly recommended though for the badass in us all. Reveal the Essence of Suffering is my favorite song

If you like Godspeed, you're gonna like this. It sounds incredibly similar to Godspeed's music. I know a lot of post-rock is compared to Godspeed, but this is one of those bands that really actually sounds like Godspeed. Reverbed out guitars, strings, tape samples of crazy old men. Even though its not terribly original post-rock, its still very good. Sadly, these guys are disbanded. However this album is still in print so you can still buy it if you really like it! (Vinyl CD) If you have never listened to this and you dig Godspeed and bands like them, I highly recommend giving this a spin. It's some seriously excellent stuff.

Velocity Girl - ¡Simpatico!

http://www.mediafire.com/?izyddzzejidVelocity Girl would be very much what one would call Those-Who-Did-What-Asobi Seksu-Did, but that would be unfair because it isn't entirely true.

Brainiac - Hissing Prigs In Static Couture

Code: [Select]

http://www.mediafire.com/?zzqwdkirkmjSomething that needs to be listened to to understand. The closest comparisons are likely for me early Enon, but that's because a bit of Enon is what was left over after Brainiac died.
Very crazy, very noisy, very moogy, a lot of fun. And also, if you can understand what Tim Taylor is singing, very funny. Often called synthpunk, don't expect Devo, Suicide, or Le Tigre. If you do, your ears might bleed.

That's fine dude. It's actually better that you just posted the codes for some of those because otherwise, with all of that album art, descriptions, etc. the thread would have gotten pretty cluttered.
So, we understand that you're cleaning out, but in the future, for uploads, keep the post down to a minimum.
Some people might get annoyed, what with the recent discussion on the last two pages about post quality and all.
Otherwise, thanks for the STUFF. I haven't gotten the chance to grab Oracle yet. So, KUDOS.

Ark - Alleluyark

From Forced Exposure:
The CD compilation which is not an album. 8 tracks + interludes + remixes from Akufen (Force Inc.), Dimbiman (Perlon), Isolee (Playhouse) And Noze (Circus Company). Ark, half angel, half devil... An artist who has never made any concessions and who will always stay authentic through out his work. After having released some EP's on quality labels such as Brif records, Karat, Perlon and Circus Company, Ark comes back to longer formats with alleluyark. It's the opening for Circus Company's solo series (CCS). This project gathers 3 EPs on which you will find all his influences, humor and diversity that make him one of the most interesting French electronic music artists. That's probably why he's been collaborating with such talented artists. From Pépé Bradock to Mr Oizo and Cabanne? All of them would agree on that point: Ark's got a unique sensibility in music.

Haha that's like trying to pick your favorite child, but right now I'd go with Photocorners, both versions, or Ooh you shocked me. Do you know what's going on with them? It seems like they should have had another album out by now.

[Nicky Thrice]

they're working on their next album right now, it's called Scherezadian. Their website says it's completed and they're going to release it soon followed by a tour of the U.S. Did you know that the eskimo's have only one word for love but 49 words for orgasm? As of right now they have one song on their myspace from Scherezadian called Lowiza, it builds up slowly but by the end it's pretty satisfying. Btw if you have both versions of photocorners that means you have My Best Friend Daniel. Where'd you find it? I've been looking for it forever but I can't find it anywhere.

Here's the album art for Scherezadian

Colonial fife-and-banjo music is represented by the fascinating song "Joe Turner." The sparkling call-and-response of the "Menhaden Chanties" shows how fishermen once used song to lighten their load when pulling in their nets. But most impressive are the gospel groups the Silver Leaf Quartet and the Bright Light Quartet. Contrary to its title, "So Tired" by the Bright Light Quartet will have you doing cartwheels in the aisles and working happily all through the day

The review does quite a good job; basically it's a collection of recordings by Alan Lomax featuring a bunch of different southern musicians. Most of its' bluesy-ish songs with simply amazing, baritone harmonies that I can only describe as swirling. If you've seen O Brother Where Art Though, you know what roughly to expect. Plus, most of the songs are either about dirty dirty sex or religion, and how can you resist that?

The Phantom Band - Checkmate Savage



Snippet from Cokemachineglow: 89%/82% Combo Rating

...Checkpoint Savage wades along distinctly deeper shorelines, piranhas nibbling at the bones of indie that might peg it out as end-of-Mean-Girls music. “The Howling,” one of the record’s more straightforward of the nine pieces, is old-school Snow Patrol on Viagra: one in the eye for Gary Lightbody and the pact he made with the ambassadors of dadrock. Frontman Richard Anthony’s vocals wear his Scottish colours with pride, bonding the waves of ideas from the band as they master their snailshells and shelvaphones (they made that last one themselves from steel shelving brackets, apparently). “Throwing Bones” takes a rocket ship ride through cool Roxy Music and tweaks it with Jim Beam and acid—the homemade stuff with the seeds and ether that you have to chew forty times before swallowing. Cast your mind back and remember that steady drawl of your first trip—schemes, confessions, revenge—pouring out of you in raw divinity rather than whispered to a shirtless reflection. That’s the algorithm in play here and the Band cling to it like balloon string, knowing it’s as strange and valuable as baby unicorn shit. Follow the hoofmarks further and wig out with “Burial Sounds,” where black swamp and tinges of UK garage (it’s there, trust me) help gravediggers fend off Hell’s Angels.

Of Montreal - Pre-Cherry Peel Demo
Can't find the album cover.
This is a pretty lo-fi example of Of Montreal. It's worth listening to just because it's one of the first things they did and it's pretty good.

That album looks good, thanks Kyros. Cool album cover, that review just confused me though heh. How do I quote someone and have their name show up in the quote box?

The Lovely Feathers - My Best Friend Daniel

Indie rock, very similar to their second album in style and quality. A few songs are on both albums but it's neat because they kind of reinvent them.

I posted this earlier but it only got like 7 downloads so i'm posting it again.
This is honestly one of the better albums i've come across recently. Up there with Merriweather Post Pavillion. In his sophomoric album the hyper literate Peter Adams veered away from the rushed production that plagued his first album and took his time getting this album out, and his extra work payed off. The production on this album is flawless which is especially impressive because he played nearly every instrument and sang. Utilizing his classical training and an uncanny ability to create catchy tunes, he has produced one of the best albums i've ever heard. I can't pick a favorite song because all of them are so amazing but buried in the middle of the album is a song so beautiful I stop whatever i'm doing when i comes on and just listen. "I was looking at the ceiling, and then I saw the sky" is an instrumental masterpiece that at the same time haunts you and gives you hope. I can't explain it. His lone violin weep tears of joy juxtaposed on an ethereal electronic soundscape.

With no further adieu i give you,
