Love Pulp Fiction's soundtrack.  Here's another:

28 Days Later OST

Code: [Select]

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

The soundtrack to Danny Boyle's radical, zombies-as-rageaholics horror film 28 Days Later has a fittingly eerie, volatile score that captures the desolate paranoia of a post-apocalyptic London as well as the worst behavior of its undead denizens. It was rumored that Godspeed You Black Emperor! was going to score the film but that honor went to British composer John Murphy; although GYBE!'s music appears in the film and seems to have influenced some of Murphy's pieces, particularly "Rage" and "In the House - In a Heartbeat," which intersperse maelstroms of guitars with bleakly atmospheric passages. Likewise, the prickly-yet-dreamy guitars on "No More Films" and "Jim's Dream" also recall Radiohead as well as Godspeed. Tracks such as "Tower Block" and "The Tunnel" occasionally succumb to predictable-sounding widdly guitars and video-game-like beats and synths, but the claustrophobic dread of "'I Promised Them Women'" and "The Search for Jim" is both subtler and more effective. Soprano Perri Alleyne's pristine vocals grace "Jim's Parents (Abide With Me)" and "Taxi (Ave Maria)," which add just the slightest hint of spirituality and optimism to the proceedings. Unlike the soundtracks for some of Boyle's other films, 28 Days Later has relatively few pop songs on it, but the ones it does have stand out that much more. Grandaddy's "AM180" is a much-needed dose of comic relief, while Boyle's beloved Brian Eno is represented by "An Ending (Ascent)," which may be the most apt use ever of Eno's music in one of Boyle's films. Eno's music is another key influence on Murphy's score, particularly on the luminous "Red Dresses." Unfortunately, Blue States' "Season Song" ends up sounding like an updated, trip-hopped version of Tina Turner's "We Don't Need Another Hero" from Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome and hardly fares better in Rui Da Silva's remix (which is one of the U.S. edition's bonus tracks, along with a slightly more inspired remix of the operatic "Taxi [Ave Maria]"). The U.S. edition also features multimedia content including extra footage, the trailer for the film, and pictures from the set. While this album is unlikely to reach the iconic status that the soundtrack to Trainspotting did, 28 Days Later is a very different soundtrack for a very different movie, and is more than competent in its evocation of the best and worst in humanity.

Oh man that soundtrack is really, really good. I remember rushing out to buy it right after I saw the movie for the first time when it was still in theaters. GSY!BE's "East Hastings" is not on it, which sucks, but that aside it rules.

Mastodon - Crack the Skye

In one word: Amazing. I think Blood Mountain caused a lot of love/hate opinions about the band. I was in the group that didn't really care for it. Crack the Skye has restored my faith in them. Not one bad song on the album. Guitars are ridiculously amazing. If you are a fan of guitar-based music that is not horrible, then listen to this now. About 97% of the vocals are clean singing, so those who are turned off by harsh vocals have no excuses to not listen to this. Read about/watch the inspiration for Crack the Skye, and the band's attempt to create a 'creepy classic rock sound'  here.

note on the actual files: the leak was missing the last track, and the quality is 128k. Not great quality, but still very listenable. After listening to this a couple times, it has compelled me to buy the album when it comes out.

Funny thing related to Ghislain Poirier: The guys rapping on "Rivière de Diamants" worked with my mom for a while. No, my mom is not in the music industry.

[Mr. Tool]

This album has been blowing up the blog-o-sphere, and for good reason...it's fucking great.

The Joy Formidable - A Balloon Called Moaning

The fact these songs were recorded by an indie-smitten couple in the confines of their own little love-nest should really be enough to have them fed straight to the snarling dogs of rock'n'roll. But tug on those leashes one second, for this debut mini-LP packs a hefty powerpop punch. Widescreen opener The Greatest Light Is the Greatest Shade is all fuzzy guitar textures, reverb-soaked drums and bass cranked up to "epic" - and all this from their bedroom? Clearly, Ritzy Bryan (vocals, guitar) and Rhydian Dafydd (bass) must argue over who's stolen all the duvet covers in Red Rocks ampitheatre. Elsewhere, the pace is upped for giddy, candy-laced indie pop with a sheen that recalls the Breeders or Warehouse-era Hüsker Dü. Gorge yourself and it gets sickly, but it's mostly more sugar-rush than sick bag

Holy crap this is good.  Broadway Project makes music situated somewhere between post-rock and trip-hop, and it is really, really cool to listen to how he does it.  These albums make for some pretty deep listening.

Get this if you've enjoyed any of the music by DJ Shadow, Trifonic, Bitcrush, God is an Astronaut, DJ Krush, Kid Beyond, or Pretty Lights that has gone up on this thread over the past while.

(Also, I upped the 3rd album, In Finite, a while ago, it should be a few pages back.  It might actually be my favorite to tell the truth but the first one just kinda blew my mind a little bit so I decided to put the others up too.)

Broadway Project - Compassion

From BBC
Sample based music, or at least that which samples other people's music seems to have reached a bit of an impasse these days. Confined either to the rarified post modern collisions dreamt up by the likes of John Oswald, the dancefloor ironies of the Ninja Tune crowd or the abstractions of Matmos et althe overall impression is of sometimes clever but ultimately cold navel gazing exercises.

The Broadway Project (aka Dan Berridge) has a different idea; take a few of your favourite records,cut them up alittle and then play lots of bits of them together. No post modernist agenda (save a few political references to Human Rights issues), and some of the records are pretty well known, almost iconic (Brian Eno, 10cc, Alice Coltrane, Harold Budd, Nick Drake).

Compassion (originally released last year and now reissued with extra tracks culled from earlier singles) is little short of a masterpiece. Though Berridge's approach seems casual, his results are pure alchemy. Either he's very lucky, or he's not at all casual and spends hours and hours in a darkened bedroom hunched over his PC, timestretching, pitchshifting and all the rest of it. Who knows, and really it doesn't matter.

So what does it sound like ? It's complex, deeply atmospheric, sometimes dark but deliriously beautiful throughout. Even when his sources are instantly recognisable (Eno, 10cc)or more esoteric (Spirit, Stomu Yamashta) Berridge's handling of them produces something new; there's a real sense that he loves and respects the material he's dealing with, and more importantly he's heard a way of re-presenting it.

Often powered by downtempo grooves, Berridge spins plangent electric pianos, big cinematic strings, hysterical guitar rockisms and spoken word into a dense, heady brew that makes most sample based music seem stifling, impersonal and irrelevant.

Broadway Project - The Vessel

From BBC
Dan Berridge’s darkly magnificent sampledelica gets a new twist, courtesy of the vocals of Richard Palmer. Vessel’s brooding, melancholic swirl will appeal to those swayed by the grainy melodramas of Portishead, though Berridge’s sonic alchemy and Palmer’s keening vocal acrobatics resist comparison to anyone else. Sometimes the material seems too insubstantial to take the emotional weight that Palmer and Berridge laden it with, but for the most part their opulent, romantic noise is as emotionally compelling as ever.

The Pains of Being Pure at Heart - The Pains of Being Pure at Heart



Kinda shoegazey-pop, pretty rocking at times. Snagged an 8.4 from Pitchfork.

What distinguishes POBPAH from the rest of their modern peers is a sense of craft located in the sweet spot between wilfull amateurism masking incompetence and not gumming things up with bells and whistles. It's immediate and substantial, but initially, it can seem distracting that the band is built more for speed than muscle. Yet these aren't songs that need anchors-- as much as Alex Naidus' bass plays an integral role in pushing everything forward, he's more likely to contribute melodic counterpoint than low end. Kip Berman's voice is appropriately unaffected, working in melodies that almost feel like 45-degree angles-- exact, acute, and just right. Keyboardist Peggy Wang-East doesn't harmonize in a traditional sense with Berman very often, but particularly on "Young Adult Friction", her vocals are a hook in themselves, taking an already strong chorus to a higher plateau.

NPR.org, May 16, 2008 -  Frontman Nick Urata is the father of this eight-piece band.

woah, wait, they play as an 8 piece now!?  I saw them only as a four piece. I will have to catch them live again, it has been a while I guess, I would love to see them with full instrumentation!

Bell Orchestre - As Seen Through Windows (2009)

Oh hell yes. If you aren't familiar with them, Bell Orchestre plays amazing instrumental music, I always enjoy them no matter what kind of mood I'm in. Made up of members from Arcade Fire (or something like that), I think they're much better than AF, but that's just me.

Two awesome albums!

Bohren & Der Club of Gore - Gore Motel

No allmusic review but basically this is what it would sound like if a group of German guys totally into doom metal decided to make a jazz album. Ultra dark, minimalist doom jazz results. Image you're wandering a foreign city at midnight in a blackout in a freezing rain and for some strange reason not a single soul but you is around...or is there. This album, the band's first, (and Bohren's other's too) would be the soundtrack to that night. Unlike their later albums, this one gets really loud and heavy while their later work is heavy in a ambient doom kinda way, really slow and dark and feature an ultra mournful, nigh funereal saxophone not present here. It's all fucking awesome though! I'll be happy to upload those if there's interest.

That sounds really interesting, I'd love it if you could upload their other albums, cheers!

Hi, the links to Slumber Party seems to be wrong. I'd really like to try this band so could you kindly fix it? Thx! 

[Be My Head]

I present to you a band I have just discovered through this blog

Ahab

What could be more perfect than doom metal and whales? German band Ahab have modeled their sound and concept around Herman Melville's classic novel, Moby Dick, and seeing how it is one of my favorite books, I was drawn to The Call of The Wretched Sea. Taking a cue or two from Thergothon and Worship, Ahab's sound is as colossal and lumbering as the white whale itself. Of course it would be impossible to cover all the nuances and various themes covered in Herman Melville's original tome, but like Melville, Ahab do a fine job in capturing the absolute peril and vastness of the ocean. Doom metal and whales.

Broadway Project - Compassion

Anything that samples Scheherezade is fucking ace in my book.

[ALoveSupreme]

Yeah, definitely see them again! I know I'll hit up another nearby show soon. To answer your question though, they're still a four-piece band: Nick Urata (vocals, guitars, piano, theremin, trumpet), Tom Hagerman (violin, accordian, piano), Jeanie Schroder (sousaphone, acoustic bass, vocals), and Shawn King (drums, percussion, trumpet). The writer probably counted the guest performers as permanent band members. A string quartet is an amazing addition to the performance. As are the aerial dancers

I thought that may have been the case. 

For being a four piece band, they definitely pull off their sometimes expansive orchestrations well during live performance.  That's actually one of the things I love about them!

September Malevolence - Tomorrow We'll Wonder Where This Generation Gets Its Priorities From (2005)
A lot of you might have heard this bands latest album "After the Darkness, There's A Next". It was a great album. If you like that album then this will make you happy as well. If you don't know the band, it's post-rock stuff.

Code: [Select]

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

They've been called the Swedish Explosions in the Sky, and you can only take such a comparison as flattery. September Malevolence leads a booming Swedish instrumental scene with moody, slightly off-beat post-rock that has a perfect insight into the quiet/loud approach that has dominated the genre over the past few years. Top-notch songwriting sets Tomorrow We'll Wonder... apart from the pack, and it's a skill like that which is an indicator that this band is not a flash in the pan.
Tomorrow We'll Wonder... gets darker than one would expect, but this is complemented well by a gloomy atmosphere that looms over the album. While the dark clouds are briefly cast away throughout the course of the album, it's ultimately a losing battle as the intent of the band becomes clear by the album's conclusion. And with that September Malevolence leaves us craving more.

Squares On Both Sides - Dunaj (2005)
Read Review

Code: [Select]

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

The second album from Daniel Buerkner sees yet more solipsism from the 23 year old Berlin resident under his Squares On Both Sides guise. Sharing a love of hushed Americana with the likes of Vincent Gallo, Buerkner isn't afraid to pepper his musical and lyrical rectitude with a dose of angular verbosity when required. At times almost post-rock in its stravaig layers of meandering bass and rimy guitars, 'Dunaj' will appeal equally to fans of Mogwai as it does American Analogue Set and Elliot Smith. With the hissed piano and acoustic guitar of 'Lungs' resembling Papa M and the droll Malkmus-esque vocals of 'Ladder-Telescopes' perfectly complimenting the wheezing accordion, Buerkner has a keen understanding of what goes together; the result being both fragile and quite beautiful. Closing through the bruised instrumentation and synthetic bird-song of 'CSAD', Buerkner has made an album of shimmering delights that can be enjoyed up close or from afar. Recommended.

"If Built to Spill and The Mars Volta spawned a child, it might sound something along the lines of Sacramento's O! The Joy, but never long enough to get too caught up in the aforementioned names. Then again, there is ample evidence O! The Joy have explored the kosmische scene as well on their new record Zen Mob, here & there philosophically echoing Faust's manner of carrying rare tangents to fruition. Having said that, maybe I'm just high, but my favorite tune on the record, "Under The Radar," really reminds me of Joe Jackson, especially on the expansive slow punch of the chorus. Zen Mode shows a seamless weaving of genres, transferring from melodically intense passages to drugged out guitar mania splattering color."

I'd upload Sunset Mission (perhaps their best album?) but for some reason mediafire isn't letting me. I keep trying and it keeps saying I'm not a pro-user or some such nonsense. Anyway, someone asked for more of their stuff a bit back after I offered but since it's not working you'd be doing everyone a favor, methinks, by making that album available for all!

[michaelicious]

I have been listening to quite a bit of post-rock lately. So I guess I will warn you that if you aren't a fan of tremolo picking you probably should just skip this post. Here are three albums by some pretty young bands that I hope will soon gain the recognition they deserve.

These two bands are for people who like a little more rock in their post-rock. They take a pretty direct, no-nonsense approach. Henry Gale get right down to business and play smart, muscular songs that sometimes even verge on being a little playful. Lights At Sea have equal parts rock but tend to inject their music with a little more drama and broodiness. Their drums sound so excellent.

Code: [Select]

http://www.mediafire.com/?m2ygxnzq2fk
This album is my main reason for making this post. It is called I have Supped Full on Horrors. It is by a band called Romance of Young Tigers. They take an entirely different approach than the other two bands. They seem to be more influenced by ambient music and maybe even by drone (Sadly, I don't know much about drone so please correct me if I am wrong). This albums is gorgeous and spacious. Romance of Young Tigers don't use any percussion at all and it gives the music a sort of weightless feeling, like it is just floating around unanchored. I think they are the best band I have discovered in quite awhile.

Oh, I forgot to mention I read about all these bands here.

Age Sixteen - Spring 2008 Demo

Age Sixteen is one of those nifty emo/scremo/ bands from Baltimore. If there was a such term as melodic scremo, as opposed to emoviolence, Age Sixteen would fit the bill perfectly. Their guitar parts almost feel catchy. However, their music is still very powerful, loud, nuts, crazy, and all that good stuff you would expect from a scremo band. They are pretty fuckin' wonderful. And I am seeing them play next Saturday. FUCK YEAH! Also they have an LP due out next month so if you like this demo you should probably pick it up!

[Catacombs]

Wow, that is a great post.  I've been on a little post-rock hiatus, so this is a great way to get back into it.  I'm having trouble downloading the last album however, unless mediafire is just acting shitty.

I haven't posted in this thread in a while, so I thought I'd upload a selection of awesome EPs from various genres...


65daysofstatic - "The Distant and Mechanized Glow of Eastern European Dance Parties E.P."   (2008)

Code: [Select]

http://www.mediaf!re.com/?bmq531zmimh
A short, but interesting (especially considering use of vocals, a rarity for these guys) remix E.P. from these UK post-rock/electronica fellas.


Against Me! - "The Disco Before the Breakdown E.P."   (2002)

Code: [Select]

http://www.mediaf!re.com/?djonwnrwmwi
An early E.P., and the first output from the band following their acclaimed "Reinventing Axl Rose" album.  Very different to the stuff they're doing now, it's a raw and passionate blend of folk and punk.  Regardless of whether or not you like their most recent stuff, this is definitely worth checking out.


Daredevils - "Hate You E.P."   (1996)

Code: [Select]

http://www.mediaf!re.com/?jmzmjczy5jw
Shortly after leaving Bad Religion in the mid-nineties, Brett Gurewitz assembled a supergroup of sorts, consisting of himself on guitar and vocals, Gore Verbinski (the film director) on guitar, Dean Opseth on bass, and "drum slut to the stars" Josh Freese.  Sadly, this is their only recorded output, but they're two solid tracks of melodic pop/rock/punk.


Frankie Stubbs - "Frankie Stubbs E.P."   (2001)

Code: [Select]

http://www.mediaf!re.com/?z5dnnmyki0e
A stripped down recording featuring just voice, piano, and acoustic guitar from Frankie Stubbs, vocalist and guitarist for northern UK post-hardcore/punk heroes Leatherface.  This is a beautiful but rather depressing recording, with Frankie wrapping his smoke-blasted vocals around three originals, an Elvis cover ("I Can't Help Falling In Love"), a Nick Cave cover ("The Ship Song") and a re-working of Leatherface's "Dead Industrial Atmosphere."


Fugazi - "Furniture E.P."   (2001)

Code: [Select]

http://www.mediaf!re.com/?jwd4mnwxmmq
Three tracks which "didn't quite fit" on their final LP "The Argument," these are raucous blasts of post-hardcore that harken back to the band's earliest recordings.  An Ian-sung number, a Guy-led track, and an instrumental.  Short, sharp, and fucking awesome.


None More Black - "Loud About Loathing E.P."   (2004)

Code: [Select]

http://www.mediaf!re.com/?enxynmmwdfi
Unbelievably catchy and melodic punk rock with a gruff, unpolished edge, featuring ex-members of Paint It Black and Kid Dynamite, "Loud About Loathing" is six tracks of pure, unadulterated, uplifting bounciness.  "Oh, There's Legwork" has to be up there with the best pop-punk songs of all time.


Piglet - "Lava Land E.P."   (2005)

Code: [Select]

http://www.mediaf!re.com/?yzzbymknjq2
Six tracks of playful, twinkling math-rock instrumentals, reminiscent of Don Caballero's lighter moments, only with more discernible melodies and slightly less showboating.  A fun and relaxing record to listen to.


The Replacements - "Stink E.P."   (1982)

Code: [Select]

http://www.mediaf!re.com/?q23oojzzyi2
The newly remastered (with bonus tracks!) edition of The Mats' second ever recording sees them blast through a dozen numbers in under half an hour, including the usual scattershot garage-punk they were known for in the early 80s, as well as a couple of old rock'n'roll standards, a harmonica-fuelled romp in the form of "White and Lazy," and "You're Getting Married," a touching subdued solo number from vocalist Paul Westerberg.  Classic.


Sylosis - "Casting Shadows E.P."   (2006)

Code: [Select]

http://www.mediafire.com/?z3w2ddhvgmy
Debut E.P. from British thrash metal behemoths Sylosis.  Unlike many of the other modern metal bands they've toured with, Sylosis don't resort to ridiculous downtuning or constant blastbeats to get their heaviness across.  Instead, they go for knuckle-tight rhythmic riffs twisted around an Bay-Area thrash template, with just a tiny hint of metalcore and death metal to create variation.  Also, guitarist Josh Middleton plays some of the most well-written melodic solos I've heard in a long-ass-time.

another from the motherland...i seriously love Fangoria.

Fangoria is an electro-pop/rock band, the brainchild of Alaska and Nacho Canut. they have sold over 5 million discs and have 16 albums.  they have found fame and success in spain due to their diverse sound, avant-garde  appearance, catchy hits.  the latest release by spanish band Fangoria is called "Absolutamente" (or "Absolutely" in english) the truth is that the album is just that -- an absolute reaffirmation of all that has been and is yet to become of band members Alaska and Nacho Canut. Absolutamente takes Fangoria's genre spanning sound and influences (rock and roll, disco, techno, eletro rock, glam and synth pop) to the next level...and it's absolutely amazing.

I want like, three albums on this page, but either mediafire or my incredibly shitty wireless connection is acting up and making it awfully difficult to download them.

[...] In case anyone wants, I have every Frank Zappa album you could possibly need.  All the studio albums plus the majority of the live ones. [...]

I'd definitely go for every single second of that...

is it just me or did we establish something about megaposts?

if that's in reference to my posting a bunch of EPs back there, the actual total running time of the music available from that post is less than that of most 2-4 album posts.  plus they're not really that well known.  i fail to see a problem.
