Ulver- Svidd Neger Soundtrack(2003)

Code: [Select]

http://www.mediaf!re.com/?ta0mmyzznlnthe track Waltz of King Karl is beyond amazing

Every time Ulver announces a new album, I hold my breath just slightly, hoping that they'll return some of the metal genre to their driving electronic experimentations that have made up all of their albums since Metamorphosis - but since the group continues to get work scoring films, and is taking their sweet time on the string remake of Nattens Madrigal, this seems ever less likely. Thankfully, with music as well-crafted as the sixteen short tracks found on the Svidd Neger soundtrack album (a soundtrack to a Norwegian film that professes to be an exegesis of human violence), I can almost appreciate Ulver's reasons for abandoning metal after their daring Themes From William Blake's The Marriage of Heaven and Hell. Electronic without ever becoming as obnoxious as most techno, these tracks are carefully structured, each sample placed in such a way as to never overpower another, with memorable, if brief, compositions throughout. Rock Massif pt.1 is an unfortunately short orchestral loop conducted by an unhinged drumkit - that it flows immediately out of Wildcat, a melancholy piece that escalates slowly, makes it all the more memorable, especially as it flows right into its second part, a revision on the first melody with a filtered, almost trip-hop beat reminiscent of the like-minded breakdown on Arcturus' Nightmare Heaven. The music as a whole has an ethereal quality, with sparse piano and string loops handling most of the melody and a distinct flow that keeps the album moving for most of its brief 30+ minutes. The only thing really close to a song on the album would be Wheel of Conclusion, a brilliantly structured piece throughout its 6 minutes that alternates upbeat and slower sections to great effect. A soundclip from the film, apparently, of a woman screaming is absolutely chilling when laid down on top of a piano and guitar tune that is backed by creeping synthesizers in Wildcat, while that very tune's earlier presence on Comedown is equally mournful, and effective. Waltz of King Karl almost seems out of place, with an almost darkly comedic tone compared to the rest of the album, although one can imagine it's use in the film more clearly as a result.

The Pleased - Don't Make Things

Code: [Select]

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?22tvbzfwlzc

San Francisco's the Pleased used to be called the Please, and in 2002 they issued One Piece from the Middle. The double EP was produced and released by the band, but after much praise from XFM Radio in London and countless indie publications, the Pleased opted to redesign and remaster One Piece from the Middle. Don't Make Things is their second chance in making a good impression. Reworked songs like "One Horse," "Another Disaster," and "No Style" highlight the band's ambition to get it right -- but don't be so quick to confuse it with confidence. The honesty surrounding "Don't Make Things" is layered with Noah Georgeson and Rich Good's nervy, sometimes elastic and angular guitar work. Vocally, Georgeson isn't as miserable as Morrissey, but offers a slight twitch to his Ian McCulloch-like brood. Such anxiety is natural when going for the perfect hook. They're on their way to crafting a divine post-punk-inspired sound that's sonically rich to stand apart from the pack of New York City bands. From the dark piano melody of "Never Come Home" to the Echo & the Bunnymen aesthetic of "We Are the Doctor," Don't Make Things captures the Pleased's modern art-pop sound. They might not be as cocksure as Interpol and the like; however, the Pleased succeed in making a fashionable sound all their own with Don't Make Things. ~ MacKenzie Wilson, All Music Guide

Paavoharju - Laulu Laakson Kukista

Code: [Select]

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

Paavoharju's second release for Fonal finds Lauri and Olli Ainala, the brothers who make up the core duo, and company again exploring their zest for moody, textured compositions that are part sound-installation, part soundtrack, with an emphasis on generally shorter, sometimes fractured compositions. Often Laulu Laakson Kukista seems like it could just as easily be on the Friendly Noise label from Sweden, as there's a similar sense of technology being used for purposes both elegantly artistic and immediate; if songs like the ebb-and-flow of the opening "Pimeankarkelo" and the drowned-piano fragment "Alania" aren't going to set radios on fire, they are immediately appealing . The merry shuffle and kick of "Kevatrumpu," which sounds like one of the Blade Runner soundtrack's vocal numbers given a murky dance floor setting, and the sweeping "Uskallan," possessing the feeling of a dramatic 1960s film ballad fed through a static-plagued PA -- but in intentional and very attractive fashion -- are two of the more forthright numbers, sounding like snippets from some grand production sensed only in bits. Other songs like the sea-shanty-goes-Jacques Brel "Italialaisella Laivalla" and the more openly indie-pop "Tytto Tanssii," with its guitar lope and synth-horn break floating over a softly rumbling cloud of melancholic, echoing textures, further add to the understated but enjoyable variety of a fine album.

Loved the EP, mixed feelings about the album however. Try it out for yourself though, Sebastien Graingers solo album:



Sebastien Grainger and the Mountains - American Names

Code: [Select]

http://www.mediafire.com/?cnimiandm4m

It’s been nearly five years since Sebastien Grainger and Jesse Keeler broke through with Death From Above 1979’s cult smash, You’re a Woman, I’m a Machine, and two years since the raucous Canadian duo called it quits. Taking a step back from the remix and electronic work he’s done in the interim, Grainger embraces rootsy, anthemic rock in a big way on his first solo album.

Despite the title and the fact that he’s touring with a full band, this record is all Grainger, for better or worse. It’s choppy, hit-and-miss, self-indulgent, and self-consciously cool, but also catchy, diverse, determined, and fiercely energetic. Grainger loves to graft dirty guitars and dirtier singing to a thick, dance-y rhythm section and let things explode all over the place from there, whether he’s nodding to Prince with funk and falsetto on the concert-recorded “I’m All Rage” or blowing off steam with the curt, throttling “Niagara.”

His ragged voice can resemble Spoon’s Britt Daniel, though he typically howls into a distorted mic to make it even more ragged. He aims for arena-rock expansiveness on “(I Am Like A) River,” and even his songs nodding to U2, Springsteen, and the Stones retain traces of DFA 1979 while packing infectious amounts of tambourine. Sometimes it comes together well, as on “American Names”—the title track of a digital EP preceding this album—and other times not so much, as on the closer “Renegade Silence,” culled from his bedroom project the Rhythm Method (har har).

Grainger’s range should come as no surprise to anyone who’s followed his collaborations over the years, from hardcore punks Fucked Up to Canadian rapper K-Os to the young U.K. brats Does It Offend You, Yeah? And this debut is similarly restless. Trouble is, it winds up feeling more like a rushed odds-and-sods collection than a proper platter.

[michaelicious]

Hey guys, here is something you might like. It is an instrumental rock band from Michigan called Lone Wolf and Cub. Their Allmusic page is pretty much completely wrong. It says they are "sludge metal/heavy metal/post-hardcore". I think there might be another band with the same name. Their music is very pretty -- I guess you could say it is vaguely post-rockish, but I am hesitant to say that. It's more math-rockish, but more like the laid-back, jazz-influenced kind of math-rock from the Midwest with the really melodic and intricate guitar sound, kind of similar to bands like Sharks Keep Moving, Look Mexico, and Karate (I can upload stuff by these bands if anyone wants, they are all pretty fantastic). I'm terrible at describing music, just listen to it!

Portastatic - Bright Ideas

Code: [Select]

http://www.mediafire.com/?n2z5vttnkqz
Mac Macaughan of Superchunk makes music.

Allmusic says:

Portastatic's Bright Ideas might just be their best record yet. Seeing as how the track record of Mac McCaughan's group is scattered with nothing but low-key gem after gem, that is high praise. It is the first full album he has released since his main band, Superchunk, went into the clichéd realm of indefinite hiatus, and while only Mac knows if any of these songs could have ended up as Superchunk songs, if they had the record they appeared on would have been hailed as a triumphant return to form. (Not that they really ever slumped anywhere except in the eyes of the indie press.) Those are really side issues though because all that really matters here is how wonderful Bright Ideas is. Broken into equal parts introspective and beautiful ballads and jumping rockers, the record is at once lively as heck and full of poetic insight. It feels like the product of a teenage heart and an adult (with kids) mind. As usual the music (as played by a core group of fellow Superchunker Jim Wilbur on bass and Matthew McCaughan on drums) is tighter than Tim Duncan on the free throw line during the NBA finals. McCaughan's vocals are pushed to the point of breaking, though he is able to apply the brakes now and then, and his lyrics are intimate, always interesting, and often hilarious. Basically everything you've come to expect from a McCaughan product but with some slight improvements. Songs like "Little Fern" and "I Wanna Know Girls" are more tender than anything McCaughan has issued while up-tempo rockers like "Through With People" and "The Soft Rewind" are as peppy and catchy as anything the Chunk ever did. Head and shoulders above everything is the awesome "Truckstop Cassettes," an elegiac tale of a love-struck and life-changing road trip set to a calmly rolling rhythm caressed by a melancholy violin, acoustic guitars and bass, cheap keyboards, and Mac's sweet-as-cherry-pie vocals. When his best songs are rounded up, it will be right up near the front with the likes of "Driveway to Driveway," "My Noise," and "Hello Hawk." The simple fact that Mac continues to release solid albums after so many years of writing and recording is impressive. That he is still releasing records as sparkling, emotionally involving, and memorable as Bright Ideas is nothing short of miraculous.

Also, I hate to make requests, but if anyone has Ee's For 100 We Try Harder, I would be eternally grateful if it was uploaded.

Fabriclive 17 - Aim

London's Fabric nightclub continues to set the standard that all clubs should follow, while also earning the dubious honor of being the biggest song licenser in the underground thanks to their monthly mix CDs. Yet after 34 releases, split between the club's jungle and hip-hop-heavy Friday nights, and their more techno and house-friendly Saturday nights, there's hardly a bunk one in the mix -- a big reason being that the three-room, all-night venue seems to be able to host an infinite number of top jocks, which means finding the next selector is as easy as a flip through the Rolodex. Representing the Fabric Friday nights, Andy Turner culls together a selection of downtempo and hip-hop records, mixed with a smart helping of folk and experimental cuts that allegedly represent the DJ's third-room relaxation selections. Yet it is a doubtful that even a club as musically open-minded as Fabric could tolerate folkster James Yorkston, or the '60s original twee-popsters the Byrds, but perhaps early in the night, before getting to the serious party jams, like A Tribe Called Quest's almighty "Award Tour," and a tasty '70s AOR sample riding beneath Ice Cube's "It Was a Good Day." Of course, if CDs actually mimicked live sets, they'd probably get stale, but this wide-open selection demands repeat listens for its diversity alone.
