The Forced Listening Thread
Praeserpium Machinarum:
Leatherface - Springtime
Starts out with a guitar hiss before launching into an intro with drums and quite metallic guitars. Then the vocals kicks in and they are nice enough, he sounds like an old punk who has drunk so much that it has caused errosion on his vocal cords. He is not a good singer by any means but it fits. I don't really pay much mind to the lyrics, but I figure they deal in a bittersweet way with spring. The chorus halfway through is pretty good, raucous. It ends in a similar fashion as it started which adds a nice sense of cohesion.
Overall I like it, it is good punk and far from what passes as punk these days, 7/10
Now danish electronica:
Sorten Muld - Vølven
Vølven is a female seer from norse mythology, and in difference to the other songs on the album (III), this is an original. The lyrics essentially picture the Vølven resurrect and tell about her impressions of our time.

Sorten Muld - Vølven
Well, something I never really listened to before, electronic music. So I'm afraid this will be short and clumsy, I got nothing to relate to.
Plus, I can't understand a word, so beyond what you told us of it, I got no clue what she is talking about.
The whole song has a very solid mood to it. It is very calm and relaxing, even if it has a pretty high tempo. The singer's voice is quite charming and the non-sense she's mentioning fits pretty well. The song evolves a bit, but not much change occurs.. If I liked electronic music, I'd probably like music like that. The fact that the rythm doesn't move much just puts me off too much.
I'd give it a 6/10.
With a Dream and a Gun, by Decadence.

Fantastic start to this song, very folksy in feel and the little string hits really complement the singer. Smooth acoustic melodies and every instrument plays its part without overwhelming the others. The random piano & spoken word from around 3:00 onwards really suit the mood of the song and the progression in the second half is well-executed. I would definitely listen to this band more and recommend that others download the tune. :) 9.5/10
Empire State Human - Eastern Lights (warning: this song is electronic in nature)

Electronic it is. I did'nt like the start, sounds like one of the example files in AudioMulch (basic drum machine and melody). Gets better when the vocals kicks in. And the chorus is pretty good. But it changes very little and sounds too cheesy to me.
6.5/10 Just because I liked the chorus.
My song:
Rashanim - Chorek

Guitar-driven instrumental somewhere in between modern jazz, Guns 'n' Roses and Dick Dale's surf guitar. Interesting, but perhaps not the kind of thing I'd choose to listen to. It feels a bit improvised and random in places. I'll give it 6/10 anyway, though, because it doesn't suck.
I'm a little short of inspiration, so here's one picked pretty much at random:
John Matthias - Smalltown, Shining
