Flametal - The Elder (2005)

Sounds just like the band name - traditional flamenco guitar fused with metal - or in other words, 'fucking awesome.'
I actually saw these guys live about the time this album came out and they're even more awesomer than on album, they have dancing clapping ladies and everything!

Man I first looked at the album cover and thought "Flame-etal.. fucking cool"

Then I read the description and the actual pronunciation is really disappointing. Fluh-metal? Seriously?

The music still sounds really intriguing though.

For Andrew Fleming,

Blue Pine - s/t

Quote
Blue Pine's approach is similar to that taken by The Pogues, The Bad Seeds, and Vancouver's own Jerk With A Bomb. But these comparisons don't come close to suggesting the strangeness of this album (which isn't even lessened by the appearance of Carolyn Mark's familiar voice on two tracks). Perhaps a better parallel to draw would be with The Fall - insofar as this record's otherworldliness is a function of its abrasive vocals and jarring guitar strang.
   Or maybe I should just mention that they have a song called "Fur Harness or Let No Beast be Shackled Lest Doom Fall on All of Us" and leave it at that.


   Carey Mercer and Mike Rak now play in another Global Symphonic related group, Frog Eyes.
Code: [Select]
http://www.mediafire.com/?1zcfjijmmcz
FUN FACT: this is actually the first thing released on Global Symphonic.

Blue Pine's 2nd album was never finished but the stuff they recorded was later bundled up with the 2006 re-release of The Bloody Hand. Unsuprisingly it sounds like a slightly more rockin' version of their s/t debut.

Frog Eyes - Live @ Cafe Du Nord, San Francisco, CA 06-06-2008


This is a high-quality bootleg of a show that Frog Eyes performed this year. The show opens with a paranoid and maddened Mercer howling into the mike and some cacophonous rumbling that dies. They then launch into a new song that shows the band in full control of what they did on Tears of the Valedictorian. The show cosists largely of both Tears and new songs that see the ideas on Tears furthered, i.e. longer, more epic songs.

Code: [Select]
http://www.mediafire.com/?y4gjt0yz2fz
And finally, merely for the purpose of context;

Frog Eyes - Tears of the Valedictorian


Quote
Why is this valedictorian crying? For the classmates he's leaving behind? For that van full of kids who drove drunk into the storm ditch after prom? No, if the speaker is Carey Mercer, who fronts Victoria, B.C.'s Frog Eyes, he's bawling because he's supposed to be an adult now and what's more a man, but there are no men around, only military blowhards, craven merchants, and drunken dads.

Frog Eyes have been a band more namechecked than listened to, thanks to now-and-then keyboardist Spencer Krug's other groups (Wolf Parade, Sunset Rubdown), and Mercer's collaboration last year with Krug and Dan Bejar of Destroyer under the guise of Swan Lake. While Mercer shares his friends' elliptical and bombastic rhetoric, he's at once more of an orator and more of a synesthesist, working with smears and splatters more than melodies, and bringing his own fixations.

Tears of the Valedictorian is Frog Eyes' first substantial advance since 2003's The Golden River, which was a fanciful songcycle on a backdrop of ecological anxiety. The Folded Palm (2004) approximated the frenzy of their shows, but at the expense of the songs. The intervening mini-albums were pleasant small-scale studies. Valedictorian again mobilizes the band's full palette-- Mercer's wife Melanie Campbell's stomping drums and flat stutter cymbals, Krug's keyboards switching from crosshatch shadows to radiant showers, Michael Rak's grounding bass, Mercer's and McCloud Zicmuse's light-seeking insect guitars and, always, Mercer's gibbering, his croon, his grumbles, his yodeling yip.

Mercer stands in the lineage of rock frontman as half-carnival-barker, half-gnostic-preacher that Greil Marcus describes as the "crank prophet," from Screamin' Jay Hawkins through Arthur Lee of Love, Captain Beefheart, David Thomas of Pere Ubu, Tom Waits, and the Pixies' Frank Black. But Frog Eyes' sound owes more to early Roxy Music-- music that filtered out blues in favor of high modernism-- as well as advertising jingles and John Philip Sousa. In keeping with Victoria's Brit-dominated demographics, it also recalls English music hall, though the hall is on a riverboat and the river on fire.

Mercer's preoccupation here seems to be masculinity, as it often has been in rock, the music of boys coming of age. But unlike Mick Jagger or Bruce Springsteen (whose trace, as so often these days, shows up here in some surprising runs of piano fills and exhortations), Mercer is stalking the heath of manhood's ruination. He turns over artifacts of Romanticism like an anthropologist on a dig, sketching out the landscape and puzzling over how these dick-swinging ancients survived. His yowls are the cry of somebody waking up from history with a hangover-- "he was what the Poor call the Maimed," he sings-- as its dreams disperse over the horizon of legibility.

I don't mean to make Mercer sound like a nostalgist. His voice is nothing if not urgently present, struggling to pull his warring selves into some workable here and now. He invokes patriarchs just to dispose of them, from the "Roman ambassador" who is "torn apart by plaster and reassembled after" in the opener, "Idle Songs," to the "druken and besotted father figure" who's pushed out to sea on an ice floe in "Evil Energy, the Ill Twin of..." They stand between Mercer and a longed-for future in which the masculine spirit somehow gets sane and whole. Meanwhile, touchingly, that bad dad out on the ice "trembles and he trembles and he puts his heart on tremble."

Mercer breaks from the crank-prophet line in that he wants to defeat his solipsism, to hack his way out of the thicket of male ghosts and build relationships-- with nature, lovers, family, his band and the listener. This album is peppered with references to himself as singer, from the epic second track "Caravan Breakers, They Prey on the Weak and the Old" ("I bet you are sick of hearing songs about the trail") to the entrancing near-closer "Bushels", which assures "there's a colony in song" and ends on the simple statement, "I was a singer and I sang in your home." In between comes "The Policy Merchant, the Silver Bay", an acoustic, falsetto-sung ballad in which he teases, "Mercer is a merchant, a policy merchant/ He calls himself urgent!/ He gathers all of the urchins up in their tearaways/ He gathers them into his palm and then he sings 'Another Day.'"

These wry acknowledgments feel especially gracious from a singer who is so under siege by sound and by the unending, unpredictable demands of all the voices of past and future birthing and dying in his gullet. But that's what Frog Eyes achieves here, not just in the songwriting but in the band's new dynamic range and precision-- for the first time, there's space in their hermetic universe for the rest of us. It's graduation day.

The metal part of Flametal definitely isn't its strongest point, but the guy behind the music- Ben Woods is still an amazing musician. Did you even listen to anything besides 10 seconds of their music off myspace? Listen to 'Journey into Fear' the last track off of that album I upped and tell me that sounds like eurovision metal.

And flamenco != middle eastern. Those are two completely different styles of music. Why did you even try to make that comparison? Or did you even try?

In addition to those, here's some stuff from a lower-tier Anticon producer named Bomarr. For those who don't know, Anticon is the preeminent "backpack rap" label, and is known for its roster of white rappers. Their production is generally pretty good. This stuff in particular has been fussed over some by Alias, who I had uploaded a few weeks ago.

Belong - October Language



Quote
Very much in the vein of Fennesz and others carrying the torch of guitar experimentation from Kevin Shields, Belong's debut record isn't a series of recordings made to be played piece by piece at random intervals. October Language is very much an album designed to be listened to from start to finish; slowly evolving and unraveling one sheet of distorted guitar textures over another until there's simply no room left to cram in much more. But what sets Belong apart from the rest of their classmates in the school of Shields is their attention to detail. Distinct but melodic passages swell up from out of nowhere and then gradually fade into the static and whirls of feedback and sound; small fragments that appear early on in the lineup make returns later on (with close and active listening). And while fans can pine away and wait for that next My Bloody Valentine release (if there ever is one), there are thankfully instances like October Language that make the prolonged wait immensely more enjoyable.

The Radio Dept.

OK, first I'd like to say that I'm really bad at describing bands objectively, placing them in genres and explaining their sound in general, but you can at least have my personal opinion about The Radio Dept.: They are fucking amazing, and you should all listen to this incredible, incredible band.
With that said, I'll leave you with a short and more objective description from good ol' wiki:

Quote from: Wikipedia
The Radio Dept. is an indie pop band from Lund, Sweden. (...) The Radio Dept. are related to such genres as Dream pop, Indie pop, Shoegaze and Twee Pop, with reviews comparing them to Pet Shop Boys, My Bloody Valentine and the Cocteau Twins.

EDIT:



Love - Forever Changes

Code: [Select]
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?0mjnnzdjnmk
Quote from: AMG
Love's Forever Changes made only a minor dent on the charts when it was first released in 1967, but years later it became recognized as one of the finest and most haunting albums to come out of the Summer of Love, which doubtless has as much to do with the disc's themes and tone as the music, beautiful as it is. Sharp electric guitars dominated most of Love's first two albums, and they make occasional appearances here on tunes like "A House Is Not a Motel" and "Live and Let Live," but most of Forever Changes is built around interwoven acoustic guitar textures and subtle orchestrations, with strings and horns both reinforcing and punctuating the melodies. The punky edge of Love's early work gave way to a more gentle, contemplative, and organic sound on Forever Changes, but while Arthur Lee and Bryan MacLean wrote some of their most enduring songs for the album, the lovely melodies and inspired arrangements can't disguise an air of malaise that permeates the sessions. A certain amount of this reflects the angst of a group undergoing some severe internal strife, but Forever Changes is also an album that heralds the last days of a golden age and anticipates the growing ugliness that would dominate the counterculture in 1968 and 1969; images of violence and war haunt "A House Is Not a Motel," the street scenes of "Maybe the People Would Be the Times or Between Clark and Hillsdale" reflects a jaded mindset that flower power could not ease, the twin specters of race and international strife rise to the surface of "The Red Telephone," romance becomes cynicism in "Bummer in the Summer," the promise of the psychedelic experience decays into hard drug abuse in "Live and Let Live," and even gentle numbers like "Andmoreagain" and "Old Man" sound elegiac, as if the ghosts of Chicago and Altamont were visible over the horizon as Love looked back to brief moments of warmth. Forever Changes is inarguably Love's masterpiece and an album of enduring beauty, but it's also one of the few major works of its era that saw the dark clouds looming on the cultural horizon, and the result was music that was as prescient as it was compelling.

Devil Makes Three- Self Titled



Quote
From the only review I could find on the internets:
The Devil Makes Three is a trio from San Francisco who plays music in a style that is largely influenced by folk but draws additional color and rhythm from 20’s and 30’s blues and bluegrass as well as drawing from a punk ethos. What does this mean? If you like the Violent Femmes first record or bands like 16 Horsepower, The Squirrel Nut Zippers, and possibly The Gun Club this band is for you. The headstones of death, drinking and disappointment carved with vocals, acoustic guitars, and stand-up bass.

Here's some spice for your music life.

Shugo Tokumaru - Exit

Code: [Select]
http://www.mediafire.com/?dgmmhmmhxyo
Quote from: Allmusic
Shugo Tokumaru is not (as many reviewers have assessed) the Japanese Sufjan Stevens. He may share some of Stevens' fascination with found instruments and eccentric acoustic arrangements, but that's where the similarities end. Tokumaru, in general, seems to go much deeper into his own musical world -- playing with sounds more and taking ideas much further. If comparisons must be made, it would better describe Tokumaru's trajectory to align him with the likes of a less predictable pop experimenter like Lindsey Buckingham. Like Buckingham, Tokumaru's songs can sound deceptively simple on the surface, but closer listening reveals a very sophisticated musician at work. Anyone can layer instruments on top of one another (and, with the advent of digital home recording, often to a ludicrous level), but it takes a real talent to sort out how they should fit together. This is where Tokumaru shines, especially on his album Exit -- a home-recorded affair that flirts with indulgence but rarely succumbs to it. That's an important point because a song like Exit's opener, "Parachute" -- with its multi-layered fingerpicked guitar propulsion and more melody lines than you could shake a stick at -- could have been just a predictable lo-fi mélange had someone else been at the helm. In Tokumaru's hands, indulgence is tempered with taste and taste is augmented by confident individuality and competent musicianship. That individuality and musical prowess are evident enough -- as Tokumaru is clearly at ease on a number of different instruments -- but all of that would amount to beans if you couldn't put it together just as expertly. In the arrangement department, Tokumaru displays both skill and mischievousness. He has a Brian Wilson-like penchant for playing instruments off of each other to achieve a greater result (just listen to the Pet Sounds playfulness of "La La Radio") and is fearless in his use of dissonance (check the gradually twisted interplay between the recorders and melodicas on "Clocca"). Ambitious as some of that may seem, Exit never feels like a show-off record -- just a thoughtfully put-together one.

Quote from: Pitchfork
8.0

It's nearly autumn in the States. The leaves are turning, the air has cooled right to the point where you don't notice it, people are looking to settle into an easy, neutral gear. It's also the perfect time for the U.S. debut of Shugo Tokumaru's Exit, the first of his records to get a proper American release. Fans of Tokumaru's previous LPs, 2004's Night Piece and 2006's L.S.T., will find no surprises on his latest-- he's still gently mining 1960s pop from around the globe and capturing it with a soft production and a sense of humor. Tokumaru builds each of his 10 tracks around a perfectly constructed melody. With an affection for folk and acoustic and found instruments-- he reportedly has over 100 music makers in his bedroom, not counting toys-- he makes eclectic choices in the arrangements, but he never distracts you into inventorying them.

Wooden flutes, accordions, tinkling percussion, and brisk acoustic guitars all come together on Tokumaru's bedroom Mac. Clanging percussion and a melodica chase each other through "Green Rain" or during the frenzy of "Future Umbrella"-- featuring more western and eastern fretted instruments than this reviewer can identify-- which comes off as a light whimsy. And the album's near-rocker, "Clocca", taps psychedelia with backward guitar samples, a disoriented harmonium, and baffled flutes.

Woven through it all is Tokumaru's easy tenor. It's too laid back to be evocative, but isn't merely soothing, either; maybe the best way to peg it is that evokes a feeling of being soothed. He plays humble in interviews, but on record he comes off as effortless, even cool. And it takes a special kind of cool to borrow so many familiar and loaded styles without looking like you're merely dabbling.

There are enough instrumental interludes and understated melodies here to make the record a grower, and it eases into the sunset for much of its back half. Album-closer "Wedding" has as fine a melody as any of them, but there's a palpable sense that Tokumaru's perfectly content as a warm-up act for the crickets. And after three albums of such pleasurable, well-crafted music, it's churlish to wonder if Tokumaru will budge from this routine-- if he'll push into new directions, or keep making even-keel pop that's ever-more perfect and ever-more effortlessly sews up its influences. At this rate, the most nostalgic thing about listening to a Tokumaru record in the future might be the memories they bring back of his earlier ones.

The Week That Was - s/t

Code: [Select]
http://www.mediafire.com/?z2nih3z2jjw
Quote from: Allmusic
The main figure behind the Week That Was is former Field Music member Peter Brewis. With help from a wide range of musicians including David Brewis and Andrew Moore (making the album a mini-Field Music reunion of sorts), the self-titled debut is a lush and lovely slice of modern pop. The group's sound is no great departure from that of Field Music; it's just as arty, angular, and unfailingly melodic throughout. The main difference is that it's more arranged and complex thanks to the variety of players and instruments. Peter Brewis also seems to have more affinity for prog rock when he's in charge -- check the interlocking marimbas on "It's All Gone Quiet" or the majestic horn/piano arrangements on "Yesterday's Paper." It's less the prog rock of Yes than it is the new wave prog of XTC (though "Scratch the Surface" sounds uncannily like post-Gabriel Genesis). The art never gets too over-indulgent and it never gets in the way of the songs. Which would be hard to do anyway because the melodies are so strong and the hooks are so large. Songs like the bouncy "The Airport Line" and the thunderous and jumpy album opener "Learn to Learn" are as good as anything Field Music ever did. They are filled with brains and musical prowess but also lots of emotion and soul, possibly more than Field Music as a group felt comfortable showing in their songs. A prime example can be found in the naked sentiment and sweeping strings of "Come Home." You can probably chalk that up to having one person running the show and can be glad that Brewis has a steady hand on the helm; never letting that pesky emotion thing get out of control. When Field Music packed it in, fans were left with the melancholy feeling that comes with losing a great band before they had a chance to fully blossom. Now with the Week That Was and David Brewis' School of Language project, there are two excellent bands where there used to be just one.

Sunn O))) - Dømkirke


Quote from: p4k
Comprised of four long tracks spread across two LPs, the release captures Sunn O)))'s performance at the Dømkirke cathedral, erected sometime around 1150. For the gig, Sunn's Stephen O'Malley and Greg Anderson were joined by onetime Earth member Steve Moore on the church pipe organ, Jazkamer's Lasse Marhaug on electronics, and Mayhem's Attila Csihar on totally freaking you the fuck out.

Speaking of all things ancient, Southern Lord plans to offer Dømkirke on vinyl and vinyl only, insisting there will be no CD or digital release. Folks can choose one of three versions of the limited edition offering: black vinyl (5,000 copies), transparent blue vinyl (1,000 copies), or clear vinyl with black streaks...OF DOOM!! (900 copies).

Deep Sex - Too Tight for Pleasure
Code: [Select]
http://www.mediaf!re.com/?dtva4eg3mym
Three man harcore punk band from Annandale, NY. This EP is the result of their first and only recording session. These five songs, which were performed live only once at what was also their only live show ever, were the culmination of several months of playing in a dingy basement and hasty, late night studio work. Finally mixed and mastered, the EP, "Too Tight for Pleasure" has at least seen the light of day. Aggressive, intense and totally fucking rockin. Check it out!
Track listing:
1. Larry Clark and the Infinite Sadness
2. Man-Rape
3. Come Back with a Bigger Knife
4. Set Fire
5. Rock Candy

Run time: 13:49

OK, I know this forum is only for underground bands, but I think you will all appreciate this.

This is a present I compiled for my Mom's birthday.  It is a four-disc set of The Beatles outtakes, rarities, outfakes, interviews, demos, sessions and oddities.

It is 112 tracks in 5 parts (each under 100 megs).  Since I made it there is no artwork, but feel free to make some if that is how you roll.

THE BEATLES - NOTHING'S GONNA CHANGE THEIR WORLD

Part 5
Code: [Select]
http://www.mediaf!re.com/?owwxmnzwy0n
This set is meant to be an addendum to Anthology and Live At THe BBC.  If you do not have those, I would suggest finding them somewhere.  Although a few tracks may overlap, nearly every song in this set has never been released by an official record label.  Also, it goes (pretty much) in chronological order, with a few mix ups to make each disc start and end well.  It starts with their first track and ends with their last sessions and reunion.

Enjoy my friend!  And if for some reason this kind of thing is not allowed, please PM me and I will remove it.  Hope you like it!

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.

What the hell is with everyone reposting the rules? I'm going to break a rule now, so go ahead and repost them after this post. But I'm not requesting anything modern, so there's that.

I can't find an album anywhere, and would really appreciate if someone has it, if they could post it:

Sanford & Townsend - The Smoke from a Distant Fire
Released in 1977. I've looked everywhere to no avail. Thx in advance.
