Untitled is a very mature, developed, cared-for album.
This sums it up very well, I threw in two bonus tracks aswell.

Hey Grimbo, thanks for upping the Jawbox stuff. Guys, definitely get your hands on FYOSS, it's a motherfucker of an album.

Here is 1000 Travels of Jawaharlal, a Japanese emocore band. They are awesome.

Quote from: Last.FM
This trio from Kita-Kyushu, Japan plays uncompromising and spontaneous emo hardcore, which descends from bands from half of 90’s released on label Ebullition like Torches To Rome, Bread and Circuits or Yaphet Kotto mixed with dedication of dc hardcore bands like Ignition or Swiz, all together with aggressive, explosive Endstand sound! These guys are absolutely coordinated, singer and guitarist Koichiro alias Kojak has screamy but still melodic voice (he was driver on The Robocop Kraus tour around Japan), crazy drummer plays with total dedication and bass player understood what is this instrument about.

has your unzip/unrar program got a limit on it or expired?  apart from that, i can't think of a reason why it wouldn't work.  that said, my uploads always seem to fuck up, so if anyone else reports the same problem, i'll try re-upping it.

Leafcutter John - The Housebound Spirit
Quote from: Tinymixtapes (5/5 star review)
It was Keith Fullerton Whitman, right here on TMT in fact, who initially acquainted me with the name Leafcutter John. He answered most glowingly in Leafcutter John’s favor when asked if there were artists deserving more recognition, "Some of the most vital and humanistic yet academic-leaning computer music of this or any time really." I remember this because it piqued my interest at the time that such bold plaudits were going to someone I’d never caught wind of before. Also, that someone with such an organic and folksy name was making computer music. I feebly investigated him at the time, couldn’t find much about him, tried to *gulp* download his album, was stymied, and proceeded to ignore KFW’s plea and went on like seemingly everyone else (I still can’t find many reviews of this album) in continuing to ignore him. Well, not too long ago, I stumbled upon this album, and ever since, I’ve regretted not heeding the well-informed advice at the time.

This album is sold as one of those Matmos(ish) novelties (no knock on Matmos) featuring samples from a highly restricted set of sources. In this case, the samples all come from items you can find in your home. The reason is that the artist was suffering from crippling agoraphobia after being attacked in public, hence the title The Housebound Spirit. To be honest, I couldn’t give a lick. It’s distracting to consider such tangential nonsense. What we should concern ourselves with is the breathtaking sweep of this album. The ‘genre’ ping-pongs around with every track, from KFW IDM sounds to Kid 606-esque cut-ups to avant-classical electro-acoustic to a sparing vocal and acoustic guitar. They’re masterfully executed, and, moreover, it’s really an enjoyable collection to listen to. The pacing might be the greatest achievement here, with strikingly disparate tempos residing next to one another cohesively. Similarly, the dynamics in sound are perfectly jarring. And none of this comes anywhere near to conveying the magical experience of listening to this record. This is the truly inspired music that makes people like my self love music. PLEASE, please go out and buy this album. Absolutely one of the most essential recordings I’ve heard in the past few years.
I love it to bits

Leafcutter John - Concourse EEP
Quote from: Igloo Magazine
John Burton (Leafcutter John) originally studied to be a painter, but found it more interesting creating electronic music to play in art galleries around the country. The "Concourse EP" is his first release for Planet Mu and follows just one other 2-track 7" single on Loose Change Records. The EP has been released on two formats, 12" vinyl and CD, the CD version containing an extra 3 tracks and being dubbed an "EEP". Burton uses field recordings and the output of sonic workshops (organised by himself) as soundsources. The tracks on this EP are probably best described as "glitchy ambience" comprising of ever-changing blips and tones with added distortion. Describing Burton's tracks is difficult as they are forever shifting and mutating within themselves, almost like tracks within tracks, as though Burton is conscious of avoiding repetition. This, however, is a good thing, as the tracks on this EEP hold the attention and never give you the chance to
get tired of them. Strangely, the final track is an electro-acoustic folk song. Excellent stuff. The "Concourse EEP" is a carefully constructed, relatively abstract, non-repetitive work that is quite brilliant in content and an intriguing listen. Music for the mind. Recommended. Look out too for Leafcutter John's "Microcontact" full-length on Planet Mu in January 2001.

Leafcutter John - Microcontact
Quote from: themilkfactory.co.uk (5/5 star review)
John Burton, aka Leafcutter John, born in West Yorkshire, originally wanted to be a painter, and studied at Norwich School Of Art. Burton was also a songwriter, spending his spare time composing folk songs on a guitar. Them one day, he bought a PC, to type his university assignments. That’s when he discovered the possibilities of electronic music. That was four years ago…
At the time, Burton didn’t own any electronic music records, but, fortunately, some of his friends did. A crash course in contemporary artists and different forms of music later, he was ready to release a first EP, Concourse, then, a few months later, an album, on Mike Paradinas’ very own label, Planet Mu. From the intro of the first track of Microcontact, you know you’ve stumbled across something unusual. Heavily relying on machines, Burton relies even more on the inspiration he gets from environmental noises and acoustic sounds recorded in all sorts of different places or situation, or during sonic workshops he organises in art galleries. When asked about people who inspire him, Burton cites Chasm, Main or Richard D James, as well as Pierre Henry, Karlheinz Stockhausen or Pierre Schaeffer. And, listening to Microcontact, the analogy between Leafcutter John and the musique concrète movement is quite obvious. If not as remote as the music produced by any of these composers, Burton’s creations remain quite difficult to apprehend, even when he flirts with more conventional electro, as on track 9, or when traces of his past as a folk musician can be found on track 5. However, his deconstructed structures are strangely appealing. Sometimes similar to Autechre’s work (track 1, track 6), Microcontact has more connections with Mike Dred’s and Peter Green’s 1998 Virtual Farmer, in that, while it introduces a very abstract concept, the intensity of the atmospheres captured is still very much intact after the treatments are applied. Like Virtual Farmer, Microcontact is very much a human record, which interacts with the outside world as much as it does with its own, exposing in the process Burton as a very creative musician, attentive to his environment and to what he can do with it.
Microcontact is a very unusual record, even by today’s standard. While not completely unique nor uniquely original, this album is refreshing and challenging enough to put it above the rest, and to isolate Leafcutter John as an exceptional creator.

Couple of local bands that are sadly no more.


Forty Second Scandals - Eudaimonia

GREAT GREAT music. If you like American Football, check out this band. Similar jazzy aspects.


I can not find anything about this band for the most part, it doesnt even appear that they have a myspace. This is just the scanned image of the CD that I have.

Ethan Durelle - White Knuckles On Turned Wheels (2003)
Used to be one of my favorite CDs of all time, before i got into alot of the stuff i listen to now. Still such a great CD. Just listen to song 2 or 3 and you'll be hooked. It is not a solo artist, it is an actual band that for some reason chose Ethan Durelle as their band name.

Here's one of the most remarkable albums i've heard in the last couple of years - Elsiane's Hybrid. They're a duo based in Canada, & they're music is difficult to categorise; there are elements of trip-hop, jazz, electronica & even a whiff of neo-classical in their songs, but most remarkable is singer Elsieanne Caplette's voice, which is unlike anyone else i've ever heard. & on top of all that, it's just gorgeous - give it a try. Standout tracks are "Vaporous", "Hybrid" & - best of all - "Mend (To Fix, To Repair)".

I know this is from a few pages back, but Caesura's Dear Light Outside is fucking incredible. I really didn;t kno what to think when you were like "It's Emo AND Post Rock!" which is the Clintagan equivalent of walking up to Sir Mix-A-Lot and being like "She's a got an itty bitty waist AND round thing in your face!", so I girded myself for disappointment, and now I'm blown out of the water like a sea turtle trying to mate with a depth charge.

So please and thank fuck yes Caesura. Do they have other albums or EPs?

i'm really glad you enjoy the album as much as i did. unfortunately they do not have anything else out right now. But they have not broken up so hope is not lost for them to possibly put some new stuff out soon. Cause Dear Light Outside was released in June 2007, so it's been some time since a release.

If they put anything else out, im definitely gunna buy it and i'll post it on here.

by the way, anyone who likes the jawbox stuff needs to check j. robbins' two bands since then - burning airlines (both their albums have been upped on this thread, one of them by me), and channels (i would upload their stuff too, but robbins gets all the royalties from it and i recently found out about his kid who's got a debilitating disease that's pretty expensive to care for, so if you wanna check them out, buy the albums!)

Miles Davis - Agharta (320 kB)


Live Miles Davis. So tight.

this is a very good thing, but so is this

Otis Redding - Dictionary Of Soul (1966)   I forget the bitrate, at least 192 though

Code: [Select]
http://www.mediaf!re.com/?qwnmjhm2nm3


The last studio album Otis Redding would record and apparently Jon Landau called this "The finest record ever to come out of Memphis and certainly the best example of modern soul ever recorded" and while I'm no expert I'd say he's not far off. A fantastic album.


EDIT - After a search I realized that a bunch of Otis Redding (including this record) had been upped in October, so if you'd like some more, it's there.

Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit

Code: [Select]
http://www.mediafire.com/?mjzzr42wtec
Quote from: allmusic
During his time with the Drive-By Truckers, Jason Isbell always sported the least grizzled voice of the bunch, a surprisingly radio-ready baritone that sounded smoother than Patterson Hood's sandpaper croon and more streamlined than Mike Cooley's twang. That voice carries more weight in Isbell's solo material, where melody and lyrics are emphasized over the swaggering guitar onslaughts of his previous group. Credited to Isbell and his new backing band, Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit finds the songwriter reprising the same formula showcased on 2007's Sirens of the Ditch: a mix of Southern rock and rootsy, melancholic country-soul that manages to both elevate and commiserate during its 52 minutes. The result may be fairly similar to Sirens' sound, but 400 Unit marks Isbell's final move away from the Truckers, whose influence permeated Sirens in its production (helmed by Patterson Hood) and host of backing musicians (including Shonna Tucker, DBT's bassist and Isbell's former wife). Instead, Isbell and his four bandmates close the studio doors to outside help, allowing several horn players to pepper "No Choice in the Matter" with brassy soul but chiefly controlling the album themselves. The result is a smart and tasteful record that sees Isbell training his songwriting eye on subjects of wartime romance, memory, and dead-end small towns. There are rock songs here -- including "Soldiers Get Strange" and "Good," both of which seem to take more influence from Tom Petty than Lynyrd Skynyrd -- but Isbell sounds most comfortable with the midtempo numbers, from the subdued shuffle of "Sunburn" (sample lyric: "I never meant to get bored with you but I never meant to stay") to the instrumental strains of "Coda." "I saw her in Roosevelt Springs, where time doesn't touch anything," he sings in "Cigarettes and Wine," a seven-minute homage to a bartender who takes in downtrodden men and selflessly suffers their despondence. Just barely out of his twenties, he writes with the well-worn weariness of someone twice his age, but Isbell's youth nevertheless breathes energy into a formula that's been revisited by many Southern-born songwriters before.

Well, there I was, catching up on missing bits of my cultural background (prompted by Monday's QC guest strip based on the Woyzeck play), and...  no - just listen to one of the most important compositions of the 20th century:

Berg - Wozzeck (in English)

Code: [Select]
http://www.mediafire.com/?ykyyttdcozm
Quote from: The BBC
Wozzeck in English. What, no 'Jawohl, Herr Hauptmann', no 'der Mond ist blutig', delivered in guttural, baritonal German; aren't we going literally to lose something in translation? [...] Andrew Shore as Wozzeck is effortlessly communicative, a lyrical Everyman as opposed to the clipped, brutally stentorian baritones you're sometimes offered in the part. As his fragile defences collapse around him, we feel this Wozzeck's pain threshold being exceeded as Marie's infidelity and the vicious taunting of the Drum Major push him over the edge into bloody revenge and accidental suicide. Emphasising Wozzeck's fragility rather than just the brutality of the world in which he lives and the crime he commits, serves to heighten the impact of the murder when it comes. [...] There's certainly no need to make allowances for the performance because of the language. A Wozzeck to be measured against the very finest modern recordings, a genuine alternative to any one of them, linguistically and musically.

NEW GOMEZ!

Gomez - A New Tide


Code: [Select]
http://www.mediafire.com/?gmzwjijkqmi
Quote
A New Tide marks a return to the always-freewheeling British band's more experimental roots, with songs like "Win Park Slope" and "Airstream Driver" evincing a spirit born of boundless imagination and a long-standing collaborative relationship. A wide range of styles is incorporated into A New Tide's matchless musicial brew. Flavors of Delta blues, psychedelia and Krautrock all come into play, resulting in a musically mischievous and remarkably forward-thinking collection. In short, A New Tide is Gomez at their inimitable, incomparable best.
A New Tide also sees Gomez accompanied by a number of illustrious guest musicians, including vocalist Amy Milan (Stars/Broken Social Scene), bassist Josh Abrams (The Roots, Sam Prekop, Godspeed You Black Emperor!), cellist Oliver Krauss (David Gray, Paul Weller, Beth Orton), and multi-instrumentalist Stuart Bogie of Brooklyn's world-renowned Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra.

Doves - Losts Souls

To celebrate the recent posting of the new Doves album and the fact that I am seeing them next month, here is the first Doves album from 2000
I'm hoping it needs no further introduction, because I don't have one but here is a rather poor Allmusic review:
Quote
Hailing from the scene that brought the defining sounds of the Smiths, the Stone Roses, Oasis, James, and the Charlatans UK, Doves is another Brit-pop band playing around with depressing lyrical imagery and embryonic soundscapes that made the Mancunian circuit so popular throughout the '80s and '90s. Gloriously basking in the ethereal ones before them, their debut Lost Souls is a shoegazing twist of emotional bliss. Music hasn't sounded so heavenly since Radiohead and The Verve.

The dozen-track look into streaming psychedelia taps into melodic waves of love lorn and sadness, especially on songs like "Rise" and "Lost Souls." The mood rouses and the positive clamor of "The Cedar Room" becomes the album's brassy anthem, very Oasis-like. Frontman/bassist Jimi Goodwin drools like a swooning Damon Albarn during "Here It Comes" and whooshing guitar licks from Jez Williams recall the sounds of Noel Gallagher. NME boldly claims it as the best debut album since Definitely Maybe. They're onto something good. If only Liam and Noel could calm down a bit and find that mesmerizing nature once again.
Also, it helps assuage my guilt in taking far more from this thread than I could possibly give.

The violent husbands - S/T

It's folk-pop- ish.. It's highly unknown, i haven't even found a megaupload of it, nor a review. They are belgian based, so some of their songs are flat Flemish.. Pretty good.

Disrupt - Foundation Bit



Quote
Probably the most talked-about BASS transmission of recent months (bar the forthcoming Burial and Pinch albums, of course) - the long awaited debut album from Disrupt is with us and is doing things to our woofers we didn't think quite possible. Make no mistake - this is just about the best appropriation of Jamaican dub and 8-bit dancehall you'll likely hear this year - with a slow paced skank and a filthy, uber-bassy production style that has more in common with King Tubby, Black Art and, for that matter, black magic than with any half-arsed wobble presets and lazy dubplates you just might have picked up these last twelve months. Once inside Disrupt's rugged echo-chamber you'll find yourself immersed in a heady, narcotic cloud of smoke, moved by staggered delays, endless reverberations and a tranquilizing cluster of distant instruments and digital detritus all colluding to lull you in and f*ck with your mind good and proper. This is music designed for complete and utter sensory intoxication, tweaked and honed for intense stupefied skanking - and is quite simply one of the most beautifully heavy, chemically enhanced albums you'll hear this year.

This review is remarkably on point.

Aiden Baker - I Fall Into You


Quote
Aidan Baker has been quite prolific in 2002. I Fall Into You, a CD-R released by Public Eyesore, falls into the "good" pile. It consists of dark guitar soundscapes accompanied by poems. Baker, who also fronts a career as a writer, came up with powerful lyrics on the topic of love as addiction/virus/dependence/transformation. The diptych "I Fall Into You/& Replicate" becomes the leitmotif of the album and mirrors with its implications the dark eroticism of the ambient soundscapes. Baker plays guitar (electric and acoustic), bass, and loops, creating lush moods that slowly change in terms of hues and feelings. Naomi Okabe recites with him, incarnating the reciprocal of the poems. "Lapse" and "Lethe," both seven minutes in duration, work as the walk-in/walk-off pair. The second reuses the soft synth chords and beatbox track of the first in reverse, giving the track a mutated feel completely attuned to the topic. "Lysis" (25 minutes) and "Symbiosis" (ten minutes) present most of the argument, both lyric- and music-wise. There Baker hits a peak as a sound designer/collagist. The pieces run deep and captivate, much more than the improvised Letters. Baker struck a balance between word and sound, plus this album benefits from better production values and a solid concept. Recommended.

you guys know google blog search?

step one: get on google blog search (you can use google to find it if you need.)

step two: type cap'n jazz - analphabetapolothology or whatever album you need.

step three: the goddamn third link works.

If you cannot find an album this way then it is probably not on the internet. Man, this thread really does make people lazy and fat.

Okay so there is ONE active link out there (which is at 128kbps). Wow, why don't people just either post the second disc or shut up. I mean really, does his re-up request really bother you that much?


Oh why hello there, mediaf!re thread. How are you today?

With all this This Town Needs Guns talk, I realized I have seemed to have misplaced my copy of my Owls s/t. Would anyone be so kind as to re-up it for me?

Thank you!

Not too long ago you were asking for a re-up of an album that i just found several active links for by searching on the internet with my eyes close. So seriously, dont be a hypocritical jackass.

Hmmm, actually thats impressive that you care enough to bring up a three month old post of mine! Well done! Carry on then.

However, that was dumb of me too! Point remains - well known stuff can be easily found. I had no business asking for that re-up now that I think about it.

I only cared to show that either everyone here has the right to make re-up requests or no one should, but people shouldn't be demeaning to people for doing something that they themselves do.

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.

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 realize 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 then neatly placed it inside. This is what this thread should be.
