The Rosemarys - Providence

The dreaded Manchester sound of a few years ago is now thankfully deceased, but Providence occasionally resembles a more glossy, less stylized (hard-grooved) Happy Mondays without the bad attitude, or some other lesser Factory outfit (though not as bad as Northside!). And as this longish, 53-minute CD progresses, it can lose one's attention due to its conservative, narrow scope. Still, in the right mood this pretty record can seem wonderful, and it seems likely their next record will be a contender -- the large hints of it here, like on the sprawling title track that opens the record, portend much greater heights than this. If their crime is trying to fly too high and crashing, mortal wings melted, that's a crime worth dismissing when it doesn't drown in ego -- and this group, led by solid frontman Tim Ong, may soon plot a much more breathtaking return flight. Or say, how about a live LP!!!

Teenage Fanclub - Bandwagonesque

The gold standard of the early-'90s power pop revival, in its own way Bandwagoneque was as much a benchmark as contemporary records like Nevermind and Loveless; though not the generational rallying cry of the former nor the revolutionary sonic breakthrough of the latter, Teenage Fanclub's sophomore album nevertheless heralded the return of melody and craft, coupled with energy and spirit -- hallmarks of much of the greatest rock & roll of the past, and virtues as rare as hen's teeth in the years immediately prior to the disc's release. Although its incandescent harmonies, lazily immediate songs, and crunching guitars earned it endless comparisons to vintage Big Star, Bandwagonesque is in every way a product of its own time -- the thick, grungy sound of the Fannies' debut A Catholic Education remains intact for gems like "What You Do to Me" (arguably the most brilliantly simpleminded love song ever penned) and the instrumental "Satan," while the lyrics of other standout moments like "Star Sign" and "Alcoholiday" reflect a laissez faire irony and unassuming genius even more emblematic of the moment in question.

Mission of Burma
The Definitive Editions I, II and III (Matador)

Signals, Calls and Marches
Vs.
The Horrible Truth About Burma

Rock fans of a certain age may remember Mission of Burma as a brief eruption of noise and flash that nonetheless echoed across the DIY scene of the 1980s: the square root of all American indie guitar bands. The Boston foursome got together in 1979 and broke up by 1983. Which is to say, as relatively prehistoric as 10 B.C. (Before Cobain).

Though since reunited and making great new work, the band enjoyed maximum impact from a small body of songs it recorded for the Ace of Hearts label. Matador’s comprehensive reissues of the group’s three albums reclaim an essential and often overlooked facet of the American post-punk story. The 1981 debut EP Signals, Calls and Marches still bristles, a perfect storm of tight rhythms, dynamic swerve and the melodic din of guitars. The classic single “Academy Fight Song” is an elemental add-on, while “That’s When I Reach for My Revolver” swirls and yelps with a passion absent in the horrid Moby cover.

The studio epic, 1982’s Vs., gave Roger Miller’s frantic, chiming guitar a broad canvas upon which to splatter, but for all their intensity, tracks such as “Trem Two” and “That’s How I Escaped My Certain Fate” were about process and sustained tension teetering on the edge of chaos. It’s no surprise that Miller had debilitating hearing problems, which forecast the band’s looming demise. Listening back now, the live Horrible Truth argues for Burma as a Yankee parallel to the dark textural processionals of Joy Division and Spartan cold crush of the Gang of Four (“Peking Spring”). Despite their art gambits, the members of MOB were punks at heart (“Learn How”), seeking death and transfiguration in ecstatic collisions of sound and Stooges-like frenzies. Go fun burn man!

Are those remastered/do they have cool bonus stuff or are they just straight-up reissues?

[Misereatur]

According to the Matador website Signals, Calls and Marches is "completely remastered with 2 unreleased tracks", Vs. is remastered and The Horrible Truth About Burma is "completely remastered with 1 unreleased track".

Okay, hi there. I too have gotten some amazing music here and am grateful. Plus you're all so clever and friendly (most of the time). I've never uploaded anything before, so I hope this works. 

2 albums - 1st one of my favorites of all time: Billie Holliday - Lady In Satin.




Might be her last studio album; definitely close to the end. Very orchestral, but her singing is haunting and heartbreaking. End of a Love Affair is enough to make you not want to ever go out of the house again.

Sorry for that. here's the review from allmusic.com for the Gruntruck's album Push

On Push, Gruntruck's second album, the band discards some of its excessive Soundgarden influences and finds its own musical identity. Because of their vicious, sometimes atonal guitar riffage and sparing use of melody, the album only starts sinking in after numerous plays, but as is often the case in such situations, the listeners are ultimately rewarded for their patience. The excellent "Machine Action," "Body Farm," and "Racked" provide the best examples of the band's complex aural blend, and despite a more conventional metal attack, "Tribe" and "Break" also feature surprisingly memorable hooks. On numbers such as "Above Me" and "Slow Scorch" the band reverts to some of its Soundgarden clichés, but this is still a consistent and interesting album.

And finally, a couple of compilations of dubstep, I have been listening A LOT of dubstep lately!!!!



Mary Anne Hobbs Presents The Warrior Dubz (P 2006)

an excerpt from almostcool.org

As with just about every other type of music I listen to, it seems that I'll simply have to plow through a load of music by different artists while sorting the ones I do like from the ones that I don't. In addition to the aforementioned, the ever-reliable The Bug turns in a great track, while Spor drops a breakbeat-laced track that squeals with modulation and ripping feedback. Plus, it closes out with the great "Kingson" by Kode9 & The Spaceape, so it's certainly more enjoyable than not. Even with a couple tracks that aren't quite as solid, Mary Anne Hobbes' has put together a very nice compilation of dubstep that will no doubt allow the curious to discover a few new names to check out.

10 Tons Heavy (P 2007)

What the label says:

Dubstep truly is the sound of now, and what better way for Planet Mu to celebrate its own unique journey through this fresh genre over the last few years than this faultless 2cd compilation.
With Boxcutter, Milanese, and Vex’d all pushing the sound to an extreme new level and the more straight up work of Pinch, Distance and MRK1 ensuring the original bassweight is still intact, Mike Paradinas takes the sound of now into the future.
CD1 is a collection of the finest, deepest tunes released on mu over the last 4 years (including a Milanese exclusive), and CD2 is a special bonus mix by Kiss FM’s DJ Hatcha, containing massive new tunes from Planet-mu’s freshest artists in the scene.
’Heavy’ is a word overused in describing Dubstep releases, but compilations such as this are few and far between. Weighing more than 2 double decker buses, ’10 Tons Heavy’ is the sound.

The Beta Band
The Beta Band and To You Alone/Sequinsizer EP

Code: [Select]

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?mgcqvnpkth1
Though dismissed by the group themselves as "f*cking awful" and "the worst record made this year," the Beta Band's self-titled album otherwise defies simple criticism -- seemingly infinite in its sonic complexities, it's an album of remarkable density and detail, a brashly schizophrenic freak-out which weaves its way throughout the history of rock & roll. Pop, blues, folk, psychedelia, hip-hop -- they're all here, sometimes even colliding within the same song; the disc somehow sounds almost completely different with each successive listen, consistently revealing new layers and possibilities. It all constantly runs the risk of collapsing into complete self-indulgence, but in its way the Beta Band's genius is their wanton disregard for niceties like verses, choruses, and melodies; rejecting musical theory in favor of the chaos theory, the album's neither a masterpiece nor a mess, but both.


In-Flight Safety - The Coast is Clear

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?gont9z7hmf4
Take U2 and Coldplay’s melodic sensibility, Doves’ uplifting drive, the atmosphere of Stars and you have The Coast is Clear, the long-awaited follow-up to their critically acclaimed Vacation Land EP and a record that should catapult In-Flight Safety past its east coast stomping grounds and into national consciousness. One thing is clear: the sound of the nicest band based in Halifax has matured over the course of the two years of cross-country trekking it took to write, record and produce its first full-length. The arrangements are superb, the playing is professional and the choruses are radio friendly, especially the title track, “Surround” and “Letting Go.” It’s not a perfect record, but as far as debuts go, it’s one of the strongest Halifax has seen in awhile.

Two Hours Traffic - Little Jabs
http://twohourstraffic.com/albums.htm

Code: [Select]

http://www.mediafire.com/?jlmkob3vsyvit's hard to imagine an album more perfectly suited to that purpose. This is song after song after song of catchy, upbeat pop songs, the kind that sound perfect when you're blasting them from a car radio with the windows down, or when you're sitting on a beach soaking up rays, or when you're enjoying a relaxing long weekend in the country. Eleven songs, eleven anthems; East Coast-flavoured pop doesn't get any better than this, and I say that as someone who's not even a huge fan of that sound. But one listen to tracks like "Stuck For The Summer" or "Backseat Sweetheart", and I'm already trying to figure out how high in the Top 10 this album will go when I sit down in six months to figure out my favourite albums of 2007. Little Jabs is a great album, and regardless of your feelings towards Sloan, Joel Plaskett and their ilk, if you like catchy pop, you owe it to yourself to check this out.

Angelic Upstarts - Teenage Warning

Years after its release, Teenage Warning still crackles with the punk energy that infused it. Gang-shouted choruses and references to A Clockwork Orange confirm that the Upstarts were forerunners of Oi! and harder edged street punk. However, alongside bar-room gems like "I'm an Upstart" and "Leave Me Alone," are socially conscious compositions that give the band their identity. The most notable of these is "Liddle Towers," which recounts the death of a young man at the hands of brutal police. Perhaps that is what makes Teenage Warning such an enduring punk classic: its balance between the fun and serious, all delivered with unapologetic sneer and enthusiasm.

Hannah Montana - the Hannah Montana Soundtrack (2006)

Code: [Select]

http://www.mediafire.com/?nklmon9deks

"Not since Hilary Duff has Disney delivered the masses a tween sensation as hot as the double-life-leading Miss Hannah Montana. Part party girl and part plain old good girl, Montana--a sweet-voiced, playful performer--never skimps on the pipes. Country fans will chalk that up to our rhyme-named heroine's lineage; 14-year-old Miley Cyrus, who plays Montana, is the daughter of Nashville star Billy Ray Cyrus (who duets on this disc's sentimental, twang-resistant last track). The rest of the world, though, is apt to find itself belting along based on Hannah's unsinkable hooks and frothy Ashlee-meets-Hilary vocals alone: theme song "Best of Both Worlds" bumps around off a Joan Jett-reminiscent springboard; "Who Said" rips a page from the emo diaries; and "Just Like You" ladles on harmonies sweet enough to attach a stick to. Additional tracks like Jesse McCartney's "She's No You" and B5's Earth Wind & Fire redo "Shining Star" are first-rate complements to the proceedings, but make no mistake: this dance-happy hybrid belongs to the reigning pop princess alone." --Amazon.com

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Soundtrack

Much of the soundtrack is composed by Jon Brion.  There are a few songs by The Polyphonic Spree, as well as a couple other artists.  The soundtrack itself is gorgeous, very ambient in places.  The songs are fairly short, but many of them are heartbreakingly beautiful.  If you haven't seen the movie, you have to.  The soundtrack is made all the more wonderful with the movie's context to back it up.

I've already clogged this post up with all of Growing's LP's so far. As if the album art wasn't enough, I wanted to put some kind of description in here of the band. I wrote one and it ended up being larger than the AMG review for Sky's Run into the Sea.
So here is the All Music Guide review of Sky's Run into the Sea.

The album starts off innocently enough with a delayed, clean-toned lull that's heavenly, but it slowly evaporates and is replaced by dark drones that are equally as soothing as they are intense. Growing balances the dense but heavy silence with interludes that would be right at home on a Pink Floyd record from the late '60s and early '70s. For all its intensity and seriousness, the album isn't without a sense of fun. The quirkiest moment of the record comes with "Tepsije," which has muddled feedback dirges over a melody line nicked from the Beatles' classic "Norwegian Wood." The versatility of the group shines in the album's closing moments. Starting off like "2/2" on Brian Eno's Music for Airports, "Pavement Rich in Gold" gradually melts into warm feedback loops before being rescued by crunchy guitars and the quiet appearance of vocals for the first time in the hourlong excursion. Sky's Run into the Sea is a stellar debut and a challenging listen for those who want their music to be more than just "audio wallpaper" for their lifestyles.

Enjoy!

Behold... The Arctopus - Skullgrid

Code: [Select]

http://www.mediafire.com/?ztdtiodrj4n

Brooklyn's Behold... The Arctopus drop their Metal Blade full-length via Black Market Industries. The power trio, with its unusual instrumentation of drums, guitar, and Warr guitar (a 12-string instrument that offers, via the finger-tapping method, a full-stringed guitar and bass combined on the same neck), issued its first two EPs and a live set on Metal Blade in 2006, but in that regard, the band was still honing its sound. Here, it is fully fleshed, high-octane, all instrumental tech-prog metal with all the knottiness and timeshifts required. Certainly they are among the ranks of other acts that perform this super proficient music, like Psyopus and Dysrhythmia (Warr guitarist Colin Marston is a member) as well as Necrophagist and Meshuggah, but these cats take it a step further. Imagine the technical attack of early Voivod if Steve Vai or Mike Keneally had been their guitarist. There are no real riffs in this music -- more like long, intricate lines to be played off, one after another, with guitarist Mike Lerner leading the way, creating all of these labyrinthine patterns pummeled into overdrive by drummer Charlie Zeleny (who can play circles around any speed metal drummer anywhere and whose blastbeats are trademarks in themselves). Echoes of prog rock, jazz, and overdriven math rock are all present, but they don't add up to much until they are put through BTA's shredding blender in which everything comes off but the burrs.
