Fresh out of the oven . . .

Neon Neon - Stainless Style

A collaboration between Super Furry Animal's Gruff Rhys and left-field hip-hop producer Boom Bip -- who first worked together in 2005 when Rhys added vocals to "Do's & Don'ts" from Boom Bip's Blue Eyed in the Red Room -- Neon Neon play warm, dancey music informed by '80s new wave, Prince, and Kraftwerk, among others, while also calling on the contributions of artists like Spank Rock, Yo Majesty, Har Mar Superstar, and the Magic Numbers to fill out their sound. They began recording their debut album in the summer of 2006, playing a finalized version of it at a CMJ party the following year, and around the same time the first two singles, "Trick for Treat" and "Raquel," were released. However, the final product, Stainless Style (which was meant to revolve around the life of the carmaker John DeLorean), didn't come out until March 2008 on Lex Records.

I haven't really listened to it yet.  The album recently made Pitchfork's "Best New Music" if that means anything to you.  Gruff Rhys is one of my favorite contemporary song writers.  I have boatloads of Super Furry Animals or his solo work.  If anybody shows an interest I would love to do huge SFA post.  In fact, I might do it anyway.  Enjoy.

And also, this year's Pantha Du Prince album. "Saturn Strobe" might just be my song of the year.

This Bliss, the second full-length album on Dial Records by Pantha du Prince, is stylistically typical of the Hamburg-based label's brand of dark, icy electronic music, variously described as ambient techno, microhouse, or even post-minimal (none of these tags incorrect). Like its predecessor, the wondrous Diamond Daze (2004), This Bliss is highly evocative. Each track is distinct, often in terms of rhythm if not the actual sounds comprising the productions (e.g., the signature chimes), yet the overall mood of the album is subdued and indeed blissful. The effect is hypnotic; like driving on the expressway into a snowstorm at night, you can feel the underlying propulsion of the car and hear its constant rumble, yet at the same time, a fuzzy sense of comfort can easily overtake you as the snowflakes dance betwitchingly in your headlights. This Bliss invites a cascade of such analogies, its enigmatic cover art well-fitting. Having cited late-'80s British shoegaze as a key influence, along with Detroit and Berlin techno, Pantha du Prince, otherwise known as German producer Hendrik Weber, is clearly aiming to mesmerize. This is perhaps most evident on "Saturn Strobe" and "Steiner im Flug," two of the album's most cinematic tracks, as well as on "Walden 2" and "Urlichten," both of which carry on for over ten minutes (and both of which were previously released, in different versions, on the 2006 Lichten/Walden EP). The album-opener, "Asha," is notable for how quickly it shifts into high gear, showcasing how Pantha du Prince is not only a hypnotist but is occasionally dancefloor-minded. Other high-gear inclusions are "Moonstruck" and "Florac," both ideal for DJing and dancing. One of the year's most accomplished techno releases, This Bliss covers the spectrum -- from bed-sit ambience to hard-driving dance, generally in the course of a single track -- and is most evocative when listened to from beginning to end, for the bewitchery compounds as the time passes.

Danielson - Ships



amg (4.5/5)

Since the debut of his legendary audio senior thesis for Rutgers in 1995, Daniel Smith has been crafting an alternate universe where the most wildly subversive, joyous, and demented music in the non-secular world is filtered through a Christian viewfinder, albeit a decidedly skewed one. The success of Ships, the latest from the prolific, giant tree-suit wearing anomaly, depends entirely on the listener's opinion of the success of the Danielson empire. For years, Smith has hinted at gathering all of his musical brethren (Sufjan Stevens, Danielson Famile, Half Handed Cloud, Deerhoof, etc.) into the same room to celebrate the genre he helped popularize for a session to end all sessions. The resulting 11 tracks do not disappoint, striking the perfect balance between dissonance and melody with a backbeat that shakes the foundations of everything he's tried before. This is Smith's Led Zeppelin 1, 2, 3, and 4 all wrapped up into one giant boot stomp of a record, one that will no doubt please longtime followers and convert a few new ones into the fold. Lyrically, Smith is as colorful and incomprehensible as ever, trading childhood imagery for fluidity and astute observation for parable, with the notion of nautical camaraderie at its core. Standout cuts like "Did I Step on Your Trumpet," "Ship the Majestic Suffix," and the surprisingly straightforward closer "Five Stars and Two Thumbs Up" sound as communal as they read, and like every other song on the glorious Ships, they render the listener speechless. Highly recommended.

Graf Orlock - Destination Time Yesterday

Code: [Select]

http://www.mediafire.com/?024myyvaxdb

GRAF ORLOCK is a cinema-grind band from California, who weave an intricate mesh of conceptual brutality. Through the vehicle of late 80s and early 90s action film, GRAF ORLOCK create a potent social commentary in a theme that permeates lyricism and live shows. The release on Level-Plane Records, DESTINATION TIME YESTERDAY, explores a wide range of critical topics through the medium of concise, intense, and aesthetically rhythmic songs, coming to fruition in a chaotic sensory barrage. GRAF ORLOCK have completed several west coast and U.S. tours in the last year and a half, and have plans to tour in Europe in fall 2006.

If you're the kind of person who yells along with the one-liners in Arnie movies and thinks Clarence Boddicker is a total dude then Graf Orlock are a band you can party with. Their lyrics are just quotes from all the best movies and there are more awesome film samples on this album then you ever thought possible. "Dylan! You son of a bitch."

And here's their latest effort too:

It was a while before I could upload the other two albums I promised, so I'm doing these as a separate post. Here we go:



VAST - Music for People

From AMG:

VAST's Jon Crosby is mysteriously alluring — the dark's scene artistic poet. And on his sophomore release Music for People, he molds his one man show of elaborate classical orchestration and shadowy industrial layers into another enigmatic piece of cathartic wizardry. Music for People is haunting and vividly edged with heavy metal elements and Crosby's somber vocals. It's cutting with Crosby's use of the Bulgarian Voices, his signature chanting backdrops made famous on his debut Visual Auditory Sensory Theater. "What Else Do I Need" and Song Without a Name" showcase the dismal impressionistic view in which Crosby has aimed to create: harmonies so lushly sculptured into a new metal sound. It's not raging, yet it's angst-ridden with bittersweet tongues of love and deception. "The One Alive" is reminiscent of goth-rock's Sisters of Mercy, brooding along to the band's 1985 cut "Marian." "Lady of Dreams" and Free" illustrate Crosby's therapeutic nature. He's oddly similar to Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor, for his material appears to be an outlet for his mind's distractions and frustrations. But his compositions do not solely reflect him. Music for People is bizarre and beautiful in capturing social apathy.

This album isn't perfect, but it does convey a somewhat angsty, atmospheric mood rather excellently, and it's a great album to play when you feel like cranking up the music and feeling a teensy bit like a badass white boy. It's got a slightly industrial sound. Actually, that AMG review really sums it up well, so just read theirs.

Pivot - Make Me Love You

OK, so you probably don't know this one! It's essentially instrumental jam/post-rock

Review from their record company (hyperbole):

PIVOT describe themselves as ‘post-rock, pre-hover car, the meeting of past and future, analogue and digital, good and evil.’ Their debut album ‘Make Me Love You’ was released in 2005, and nominated for Triple J’s Album of the Year.

Their long-awaited debut ‘Make Me Love You’ was released in a climate of anticipation. Quickly picked out by community radio across Australia, including many album-of-the-week’s, on FBI & 2SER (Syd), Radio 3D (Adelaide) and RTR (Perth). Nominated for the J Award, Triple J’s inaugural Album of the Year, it was the only instrumental album nominated.

Arguably Australia’s best instrumental rock band, PIVOT aim to invert modern rock, with a balancing act of the cerebral, and the purely emotional.

Review from a critic:

Pivot's long awaited debut album could have been overcooked. Given the gestation period it was likely to be born with a full chest of hair and a postgraduate degree, the band having played in and around Sydney for more than five years. But somehow it's emerged as a cute and cuddly set of songs that surprise in their innocent wide-eyed stare as well as challenge with their unsullied-by-experience observations. Comparisons with Tortoise are going to be inevitable - especially with the sixteenth note hi-hats and lush keys of the opener "Make Me Love You", but Make Me Love You has little of the determinedly difficult nature of Tortoise. Instead it progresses with the ease and delight of a conversation amongst close friends - and though are some dark moments, and some moments of extreme seriousness, it never descends into an adversarial mire (or bickering). In fact the album is filled with a sense of joy in its completeness, both as tracks and as an album whole. The pieces themselves are elegantly played out to their conclusions, and manage to be multilayered without being overly complex or fiddly, and even rarer is the wonderfully melodic sensibilities of each of the players and their ability to intertwine like a finely wrought tapestry. "Incidental Backcloth" stands out with its pretty guitar and keyboard interplay intersticed with the decaying frenetics of drummer Laurence Pike; and "I May Be Gone For Some Time's" dual bass lines, floaty guitar and vibes sum up the album's gorgeous simplexity. Already one of the standout albums of 2005.

This disc is pretty good. It's sometimes a bit self-conscious, perhaps a little bit over-worked. But when it's good, it's gorgeous.
But the reason why you should get familiar with these guys is because they just signed to Warp Records (apparently the first Australian act to sign with them)
From what I hear they seem to have really got things together and that their next album should be Quite Excellent.
So check this out, see what you think.

No hotlinking images or albums. You can rehost 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 mediafire.com, in multiple parts if the album is over 100mbs. The reason for this is that we know Mediafire 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.

When King Crimson leader Robert Fripp decided to assemble a new version of the band in the early '80s, prog rock fans rejoiced, and most new wave fans frowned. But after hearing this new unit's first release, 1981's Discipline, all the elements that made other arty new wave rockers (i.e., Talking Heads, Pere Ubu, the Police, etc.) successful were evident. Combining the futuristic guitar of Adrian Belew with the textured guitar of Fripp doesn't sound like it would work on paper, but the pairing of these two originals worked out magically. Rounding out the quartet was bass wizard Tony Levin and ex-Yes drummer Bill Bruford. Belew's vocals fit the music perfectly, sounding like David Byrne at his most paranoid at times (the funk track "Thela Hun Ginjeet"). Some other highlights include Tony Levin's "stick" (a strange bass-like instrument)-driven opener "Elephant Talk," the atmospheric "The Sheltering Sky," and the heavy rocker "Indiscipline." Many Crimson fans consider this album one of their best, right up there with In the Court of the Crimson King. It's easy to understand why after you hear the inspired performances by this hungry new version of the band.

Some people will tell you the first thing you need from King Crimson is In The Court Of The Crimson King.

Those people are jerkfaces. They're ruining everything.

Reggie and the Full Effect is in a "good band names" and a "bad band names" thread but not the Mediafire thread, so here! Have some Reggie and the Full Effect.

AMG: Reggie and the Full Effect combine infectious melodies, sappy love songs, good-natured yet offbeat slyness, and comic sensibility like virtually no other "band" before them. Reggie albums are full of skits, hooky pop songs, and chunky guitar playing that appeal to fans of punk rock, emo, and hardcore alike. There are two sides to the Reggie and the Full Effect story. One is fictitious and humorous -- the tale of a bluesman named Reggie who vanished at the height of his career, and whose lost "White Chocolate Studios" recordings were recently unearthed and dropped at the doorstep of a couple of independent record labels. The other is the real story. Reggie is actually the Get Up Kids' keyboard player and former Coalesce drummer James Dewees, making records on which he plays all of the instruments.

If you liked their first album that I uploaded awhile back, grab this one too. It's pretty similar to their first album. It's got the same silly but a little pretentious song titles, the same intricate guitar playing and loops, but this time it is much cleaner.

Downloaded because I am a fan of Matthew Woodson, the fellow who did the cover art. Haven't listened to it yet, but Track 4 appears to be missing.

Strange how I never noticed until you pointed it out, sorry about that.

I'm maddeningly trying to remember the name of the show/books that those elephants are from.  I'm fairly certain it's european name....fuck.  Drawing a blank.  It might begin with H.

Babar perhaps?

EXCELLENT FIRST POST!

Yes, that's what it was.  Awesome.

This band is amazing. The song "Tiger Phone Card" is particularly sweet.  I have this and their self-titled album if anyone wants that.

Radical Face - Ghost

Ben Cooper has a few names he works under; as Radical Face, he creates an album that's possibly one of the best debut takes on whatever the word Americana is supposed to represent in the 21st century. But instead of dour re-creations of music that even Uncle Tupelo would have rejected, Ghost is something that lives up to its name -- a strange, murky presence that sometimes is not entirely there, but in the best, most suggestive way. Cooper's singing is understated but sweetly calming, a gentle glaze that recalls the not-quite-shoegaze of many early-'90s U.S. acts that rejected grunge and lo-fi for another approach. Meanwhile, the music is equally cool but hardly cold, a carefully detailed combination of instrumentation that lightly references everything from late-'60s Beach Boys to late-'90s Mogwai in its cinematic scope -- banjos sit well against building drums, strings suddenly appear to add piercing emphasis, and there's a definite hint here and there of Dave Fridmann's full-on widescreen production style on songs like "Glory." Yet even more strikingly, there's a real joy that suffuses much of the record, as can be heard on the chorus of "Welcome Home." After so much post-Polyphonic Spree "uplifting" chorale hash infesting NPR-ized rock & roll, the gentle but still exultant beauty here is something special, a blend of vocals, banjo, handclaps and piano that sounds all the better for being a carefully arranged collage. The album's downside is a certain sameness in sound that gets the better of it toward the end -- some songs like "Along the Road" would almost work better separately than in context as a result -- but Ghost is a promising start for Cooper's latest incarnation.

I love so many people on this thread.  This is the best thing that's happened to me in a long time.  Pat101 . . . you are the SHIT.  

BTW that Dengue Fever album seems to linked to Asobi Seksu.

So I was making the usual rounds yesterday and read the 'Fuck Buttons' review on Pitchfork.  I decided to get it (download a torrent) on the basis of the name alone . . . ok not really, but it's pretty sweet.  I have to think that maybe it's referring to peyote or something.  Anyway, the review made it sound like some music I might really be into.  I listened to it early this morning on the way to work and had time for two tracks.  Very impressed by the first two tracks.  Here it is:

Fuck Buttons - Street Horrrsing



Pitchfork (8.6)

For a noise group, Fuck Buttons are surprisingly welcoming-- for noise music, anyway-- and their mix of dreamy melody and abrasive climax evokes strange stylistic bedfellows: Yo La Tengo and Ministry, My Bloody Valentine and Prurient, Spacemen 3 and Black Dice . . . For 50 minutes spread across six tracks, Fuck Buttons craft hypnotic patterns with the same set of sonic tools (plus live-sounding drums, in tribal Boredoms-meets-Animal Collective mode). Long chords drift over oscillating tones and pounding beats. Simple figures build slowly into cresendos punctuated by fiery howls. Sounds and ideas repeat constantly, yet Street Horrrsing never feels redundant . . .

edit- I have now had time to digest these tracks some.  Very very good stuff.  I might say that if you are inclined to like Animal Collective circa Here Comes the Indian, then you would probably enjoy this.  Check the vocals on a couple of the tracks, particularly the first . . . super intense.

Reggie and the Full Effect is in a "good band names" and a "bad band names" thread but not the Mediafire thread, so here! Have some Reggie and the Full Effect.

AMG: Reggie and the Full Effect combine infectious melodies, sappy love songs, good-natured yet offbeat slyness, and comic sensibility like virtually no other "band" before them. Reggie albums are full of skits, hooky pop songs, and chunky guitar playing that appeal to fans of punk rock, emo, and hardcore alike. There are two sides to the Reggie and the Full Effect story. One is fictitious and humorous -- the tale of a bluesman named Reggie who vanished at the height of his career, and whose lost "White Chocolate Studios" recordings were recently unearthed and dropped at the doorstep of a couple of independent record labels. The other is the real story. Reggie is actually the Get Up Kids' keyboard player and former Coalesce drummer James Dewees, making records on which he plays all of the instruments.

Here's some stuff.  EDIT: Misconceptions requested this singer in the Sexiest Voices thread and I didn't know until after upping the first one of these, so I'm putting up more.

Mark Lanegan!



Fucking incredible singer (I described him in the "Sexiest Voices" thread as "dirty, sweaty, whiskey-soaked, tobacco-smelling sex with the best lover you've ever had in your broken, subtly tragic life.")  Non-solo projects include Screaming Trees, Queens of the Stone Age, Desert Sessions, The Gutter Twins (with Greg Dulli), and some duet work with Isobel Campbell.  Here is some of his solo stuff.

If you only get one, I recommend Field Songs, although his cover of "Where Did You Sleep Last Night" in The Winding Sheet (featuring a pre-Nirvana Kurt Cobain at that) makes that one worth the download alone.

I also have the albums Scraps at Midnight, I'll Take Care of You, and his debut CD with Isobel Campbell, if anyone would like them.

Wow.  This is amazing.  I'd love to have the album with Isobel Campbell.  Thank you so much for introducing me to this guy's work.

hey!
yeah, you! the two new people directly above me! those are some unnecessarily large quotes ya got there.
try to summarize in situations like that because no one likes looking at big quote boxes that we won't care about. it's just polite. (and espescially don't quote pictures unless it's for a really, really good cause.)
for example:

awesome music

or

such & such album/band

sorry if i sound like a jerk but i am one so i can't help it.

The Everybodyfields - Nothing is okay

too bad i don't have plague of dreams or Halfway There: Electricity and the South (esp this one) or i would post it...

Uh, holy crap. Those two hang out at my favorite bar a lot, and reside somewhere in town.

I was unaware they'd gotten this big. Wow. (ps, thanks for that)
