I still prefer the string-drenched 'Long And Winding Road.'
I'm wondering, if there's anyone with a strong grasp of German here, is there a subtle difference in meaning between the words 'Finsternis' and 'Dunkelheit', or do they just both mean the same thing?
E Nomine - Lucifer
I'm wondering, if there's anyone with a strong grasp of German here, is there a subtle difference in meaning between the words 'Finsternis' and 'Dunkelheit', or do they just both mean the same thing?
Also, I think River of Crime comes out like, tomorrow or something. You going to check it out? I sure as hell am. I'm also pretty pumped because apparently, new album in October. weee
The Cure - Friday I'm in Love
Eels - 3 Speed
Finntroll - Försvinn Du Som Lyser
I have obtained their entire discography, troll metal ist krieg!
Ashlee Simpson - L.O.V.E.
Fuck you Ashlee Simpson for consistently churning out songs tham make me feel ashamed to like.
i wish this band had never reformed.
they are still a good live band but their new material is terrible.
Huh, I am the exact opposite. I could say that about Amy Lee. Well, her voice. Evanescence gets old fast.
'secrets', 'train', 'trem two' and especially 'mica' are some of my favourite songs of all time.
Cat Power - He War
From "You Are Free", my favourite Cat Power album. I'd really forgotten this whole album for "The Greatest", which I love, but is not as consistently great as this one. A much happier record with less production.
Also, Fuck The Number 12 Looks Like You. stuff is rank.
I am really, really lazy and/or partially illiterate.
that's awesome.
Bauhaus - Rosegarden Funeral of Sores
omg bauhaus pretty much makes me super happy and squee like.
That is a shitload of Dr. Who remixes.
Jefferson Airplane - Somebody to Love
Grace Slick is amazing.
I will see them next Wednesday-small venue in my city yes! (though they open a couple nights later along with Peaches for NiN in Toronto)
The Clash - Guns of Brixton
All around, just a good song. The "sproing" sound really tops it off.
Mission Of Burma - That's How I Escaped My Certain Fate
The Hammered, Television are so great. Marquee Moon floors me every time I hear it! Some of the bonus tracks on that reissue are pretty nifty -- 'Little Johnny Jewel' especially -- but the alternate versions of the album tracks are just not as good as the originals.
Joy Division - Dead Souls
My second favorite Joy Division song, after Warsaw.
Surely Warsaw isn't technically BY Joy Division...
*cough*
I'm listening to http://WOXY.com and I'm not sure whether or not this is old news, but if you haven't tried it before you really should 'cause it's awesome.
Quote from: DynamiteKidSurely Warsaw isn't technically BY Joy Division...
*cough*
Explain yourself.
Fuck, I just had some random talking my ear off about how his father knew Sun Ra, and how Sun Ra was the coolest guy in the world. Apparently, he believed that God talked to him or something. I've got to Wikipedia that shit.
Pointless music trivia is always good to know.
Quote from: MisereaturPointless music trivia is always good to know.
Except I don't particularly agree with it. Joy Division only released five songs as Warsaw, and the track was recorded after they changed their name, in the December '77 sessions, which sound rather dissimiliar to the Warsaw tracks. Since the track Warsaw - Warsaw doesn't exist, and it's in the Joy Division style, I would call it a Joy Division song.
ti - what you know
best single of the year. I just keep listening to it over and over again
Actually, it just is anyway. Ian Dury is criminally under-rated.
"You're Pitiful" by Weird Al Yankovich.
I have got to hear this song.
Iron Maiden - Heaven Can Wait
There's something different about Somewhere in Time compared to the rest of Maiden's stuff. It's cleaner sound and more soloish, compared to Powerslave, at least. Not bad. I still like both Powerslave and Seventh Son.. better.
Sonic Youth - Sonic Youth/Teenage Riot
So I finally got around to checking out Sonic Youth and downloaded Daydream Nation. I'm expecting something pretty neat, if the first track is any indication.
Pop Will Eat Itself - Everything's Cool
These guys were awesome before they became crap.
BTW, I didn't know they were touring, I had heard A Silver Mt Zion were touring but not GY!BE, are you certain?
Ayreon Day n10: Memoruies
i think this si like the onl;y album ever with a fucking twist ending
I totally just spent my Friday night listening to Mark Hoppus' podcasts and dancing in my kitchen to The Faint. I don't care how lame that sounds, I feel good.
my orgasmic new Shellac cd.
I've heard of Fennesz but haven't listened to him, should I just start with Endless Summer?
I am possibly going to a three-day electronica festival called Forma Nova, so I might as well familiarize myself with it. Ullrich Schnauss is coming, he's pretty big isn't he?
FWIW, some of my favourite music in this kind of vein is coming out of Copenhagen... I like these guys in their various permutations: http://www.systemf3.com I think they've all released records on the same label as Schnauss
Very interesting that's for sure, does anyone know if this is modern composition?
DJ Shadow - Building Steam With A Grain Of Salt
Svartsyn - Vampyric Sleep
svartsyn is a good krieg(traditional) black metal band. one of the few krieg bands I can listen to. has a really washed-out sound that fits them. they've been active since 1991 in sweden.
I like Ride the Lightning better than Master Of Puppets, actually.
Zen Arcade next. Fuck yesss
Probably one of the best songs I've heard ever. Too bad the band had to ruin the mood so much with "The Wonder". I guess the song is good, but it's such a drastic change from the beautiful and haunting opener.
Pavement - Shady lane
I have no idea why i had decided I didnt like Pavement I can't even remember when i did it. Well Today I discovered my huge mistake.
22. Yasushi Ishii - Musical Play Smiling Rebellious Flower (3:56)
The Beatles' In In My Life blasting out of my dad's car outside. I love that man.
YAY! HWM!
Hot Water Music were ace.
I would prefer if the male one shut his trap.
Spiritual Beggars - Left Brain Ambassadors
Michael Amott, one of the most influential people in melodic death metal, does groove-heavy stoner rock, and it's amazing. Like Kyuss, only a million times better. I am so glad my buddy sent me this album.
Man, whatever. I break all the rules. I will say Spiritual Beggars are better than Kyuss if I damn well please, because I just don't give a damn.
"Mr. Roboto" - Styx
Sometimes I feel as if people forget about the classics around here.
Built To Spill - 'Goin' Against Your Mind'
This is the first track on the new BTS album and it's one of the best on the disc. It's a real slow builder, but it has a fairly quick tempo and still packs a lot of punch all the way through. There's a couple of gnarly spiralling solos, and the vocal melody is very simple but striking. I love it.
The Pixies - La La Love You
"first base, second base, third base, home run"
In my opinion, Doolittle is one of the most perfect albums ever made. I say almost perfect because of the song Silver. Otherwise, it's probably one of my top ten albums of all times.
WAVE OF MUTILATION
WAVE OF MUTILATION
WAVE OF MUTILATION
Yeah. Pretty much great album.

In my opinion, Doolittle is one of the most perfect albums ever made. I say almost perfect because of the song Silver. Otherwise, it's probably one of my top ten albums of all times.
But I love 'Silver'!
Also, nice to see you listening to Sonic Youth! I'd like to think that my persistent badgering had something to do with that.
Explosions In The Sky - First Breath After Coma
Wolfmother are nice, but its too much of a Zeppelin worship for me
Modest Mouse - The Stars Are Projectors
Ecstasy Motherfucker - Kid606
I have been in a very electronic music mood lately. By lately I mean in the last 30 minutes. Kid606 is defiantly in my personal top 10 electronic/IDM/techno artists.
K606 kicks ass, and that's probably one of my favourite tunes. Been awhile since I've listened to the bugger actually, might have to get an album out later. You a fan of µ-Ziq at all?
So did I, but the difference is I knew what it meant. I
Black Sabbath - Iron Man
"I AM IRON MAN!"
Judging by the name, I guess its ANAL CUNT MEZBOW LOL
DID I DO IT RIGHT GUYS? HUH?
^ If you haven't heard it already and can find it, you should try and track down a live cover that Dream Theater did of The Trooper with Brucie on vocals.
dogg why you even got to do a thing? you did not discuss what you were listening to there you did not discuss it at all that is some raw black beans.
Angtoria - God has a plan for us all.
This is Sarah Jezebel Deva's band (you know ... that BIG lady that sings behind Cradle Of Filth (and a whole host of other bands)). Since I'm a CoF junky, let's face the ugly truth, I had to have this too. And I like it. Nothing like CoF, far more Gothicky. I'd recommend it to you if you like goticky things with a bunch of keyboards and some orchestral stuff thrown in. It works.
Plus, I was sort afraid that if I didn't buy it the frontlady of the band would come and beat me up.
I don't "get" Merzbow, by which I mean I can't listen to Merzbow without my brain informing me through exponentially increasing waves of pain that it really can't take much more of this shit.
Faithless - Insomnia
send me that now.
send me that now.
send me that now.
send me that now.
send me that now.
send me that now.
send me that now.
send me that now.
It will be yousendit'dddd later today.
Frog Eyes - Bushels
Frog Eyes in jam mode? Awesome!
Have you heard Dillinger Escape Plan's cover of that on the Plagiarism EP? It's surprisingly good, coming from a die-hard fan of Massive Attack who can usually take or leave DEP. :)
I want to have Blake Schwarzenbach's babies
Testament - Electric Crown (Live in London, 2005)
I'm pretty sure this is the best 14 dollars I've spent in a long time.
The best part about this song is that as soon as it was over, Skolnick just BLAZES into the intro from Sins of Omission. My face broke into the stupidest grin ever the first time I heard this while in my car.
I want to have Blake Schwarzenbach's babies
But to tell you the truth? I miss the old-school 17-18 year old goths that writes shitty poetry, likes CoF and claim that they're Wicca (you know, back when there were much less of them, and that most of them realised that goth should be taken more lightly). It was so much better then today's Emo.
Yeah, I know what you mean. I know exactly what you fucking mean. It struck me whilst I was on my binge earlier that hardly anyone actually likes Cradle of Filth any more. Like, their fanbase actually evaporated over a year. All the younger kids are into immeasurably worse shit, even compared to Cradles newer, blander efforts.
Opeth skipped Morningrise when I saw them earlier this year, they mostly ran through half the new album and resurrected some lesser-played tracks from earlier albums; one off of their debut I'd never heard, a couple from still life, a couple from Damnation, etc. Incredible show (no Opeth is bad Opeth), but my favorites were noticably absent. I dunno how much their set has changed, though.
Satoko Fujii Orchestra - Sola (Sky)
Skyclad-A stranger in the garden.
Khar, seriously, thank you.
Isis - Hand of Doom
Isis + Black Sabbath covers + coffee+ books = happy me
I heard of them, but never got around to listen to them. Hook me up with some?
I am all in favor for "neo folk/neoclassical phases with a little bit of gothic rock thrown in". Because Neo-folk is ace.
Even though Kim Larsen is my countryman, I never listen to Of the Wand and Moon since Lucifer was really dull. Besides all that talk about the devil seemed a bit... I don't know juvenile? As if he had taken Mayhem's subject matter and made it more introspective.
I have heard something or another about Sonnenheim, was that any good?
Neo-Folk is one of the best things that you can sink your teeth into. But I hav'nt seen you mentioning Current 93. FOR SHAME! Go get yourself Thunder Perfect Mind, All the Pretty Little Horses and Cats Drunk On Copper.
This album really does sound like it could be the soundtrack to the musical Brecht and Kurt Weil would write if Weil was reincarnated as an lesbian folksinger from Estonia who recently emigrated to Marin County, and Brecht as a vicious show-tune queen from New York who’s just been dumped by his lover of 40 years who ran away to Sedona with a 19-year old Italian model named Carlo.
Yeah, you've wandered into a nest of half-crazed neo-folk enthusiasts here son. Stay, we have crumpets.
Blood Axis - Reign I Forever (Gospel of Inhumanity version)
Also, it's fucking killing me, what's the name of the piece of music that Reign I forever samples? I know I have it on vinyl somewhere, but I can't remember what it's fucking called...I thought it might be Mars from the Planets but I'm pretty sure it's not.
Besides all that talk about the devil seemed a bit... I don't know juvenile? As if he had taken Mayhem's subject matter and made it more introspective.
I'm listening to Beethoven's complete 9th symphony right now, I just purchased them all in some sort of "box set" for 10 bucks and the used CD place. It's rather kick ass.
Mobius Band - The Loving Sounds of Static
I was up at 1:20 a couple of nights ago and saw that Subterranian was on MTV2 and I happened to catch this video. I was suprised. What an awesome song. I don't know if the rest of their stuff is this good, but this is great.
I'm pretty sure he says 'Chop you into little pieces".
Add N to {x} - The Sound of Accelerating ConcreteSounds like this may be worth checking out. I own "avant hard" & "loud like nature"-i like them, but would much prefer the vintage synth dickery lol. I'm listening to
Just picked up the album "On The Wires Of Our Nerves" for dirt cheap (yaay used at Rasputin) and I'm damn impressed. Add N to
- sounds a lot cooler when they're rocking out and doing awesome experimental Moog-dickery instead of electroclash-with-vocoders. Not that the latter would *necessarily* be a bad idea. But nontheless. Twisted and atmospheric electronic seen through the sepia-tone of vintage synthesizers.
Super cute Cthulhu too!
I have the lil' Cthulhu plush sitting on top of my amp. It rules!
Death In June - Blood Of WinterQuote from: LummerI have the lil' Cthulhu plush sitting on top of my amp. It rules!
:O where can I get me one of these?!
Sopor Aeternus - Holy Water Moonlight
Horribly depressing but quite awesome.
a succint summary of everything Sopor Aeternus is about.
"Death."
A CD of Indian classical music that I got free with a curry-in-a-box. Pretty decent for a freebie.
Ryan Adams - Luminol
Funny thing about Ryan Adams is the title of his album's always perfectly represent said albums feel. (Eg. Heartbreaker is the single most depressing album I own while Rock 'n Roll is the most straight up "rock 'n roll" I've heard in about a year).
I remmember listening to samples from Blood Inside and not liking it. But I think I'll still get the album once I have all of Ulver's discography.
Ween, "Take Me Away", from Choclate and Cheese
Arcturus - Hibernation Sickness Complete
I got this because I thought Garm was the vocalist, he isn't or at least hasn't been for a while. Feck.
Their polka dots are moving!
^ If you haven't heard it already and can find it, you should try and track down a live cover that Dream Theater did of The Trooper with Brucie on vocals. Quite fantastic.
(!) Where are they moving to ? ;)
Quote from: Praeserpium MachinarumArcturus - Hibernation Sickness Complete
I got this because I thought Garm was the vocalist, he isn't or at least hasn't been for a while. Feck.
Garm hasn't been their vocalist since I think La Masquerade Infernale. Off the top of my head, I think Sideshow Symphonies is Vintersorg?
Sol Invictus - Media
Vintersorg sings in Borknagar - not Arcturus, the new Arcturus Vocalist is Simen Hestanes, from Dimmu Borgir.
Garm left after the Sham Mirrors (my favorite Arcturus album). He does guest vocals on Ishahn's album "The Advesary" which came out about 2 months ago, I'm trying to track down a copy at the moment. From all accounts I've heard its an excellent cd.
I read on The Metal Observer(which is where I go to look for metal) that it is ICS Vortex who now sings in Arcturus, which I suppose is the same guy
Snow Patrol - "Run"
Call me a pansy but I seriously love these guys, and especially this song. Nothing says awesome like Gary Lightbody's voice.
Ah yeah, Vintersorgs in Borknagar. Which Garm and ICS Vortex have both also been in. Bloody confusing Norwegians.
Which Rolling Stone? Mick Jagger is an arrogant douchebag and Keith Richards... he's just Keith Richards.
He does guest vocals on Ishahn's album "The Advesary" which came out about 2 months ago, I'm trying to track down a copy at the moment. From all accounts I've heard its an excellent cd.
Listening to the whole Octagonocologist album by Dr. Octagon. I am no big fan of rap but this guy's golden.
I do so love Tears for Fears.
Peaches - I Don't Give a Fuck
Daft Punk - Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger
My all time favourite Daft Punk song.
Leadbelly - Fannin Street
I admit that my exposure to the blues(as in the genre) is limited which is why I rounded up a Leadbelly collection. Who according to Allmusic isn't even blues in that he predated the style. So any blues experts on here who can give some recommendations?
I'm doing this for university, actually. Aahh ... the joys of studying political science.
But seriously, the melody is actually pretty neat. Good work there, Soviets.
I've got the original Soviet version sung by the Red Army Choir squirreled away somewhere if you want it.
Right now, I'm not listening to anything! I am watching Suspiria, and once I finish watching Suspiria, I shall watch Brazil. Then I shall watch Eraserhead. During this prolonged period I shall be drinking tea and complimenting myself on my absolutely fantastic taste.
Arab on Radar - The Stolen Singles , I just love these guys... I generally don't go in for much noise rock but I don't know they've always had a place for me.
Peaches - I Don't Give a Fuck
Ruins - Iron Lady
Godamnit I love Japanese avant-grade.
I fucking love Yank Crime. It has gotten many a spins in my cd player, lemme tell you.
Kyuss - Green Machine
Kyuss are pretty awesome.
Bathory - Hammerheart
So far the Bathory album I like best and I am not afraid to say that it is because of the production. The production on the ones that came before this one prevented me from actually enjoying the music because it was so incredibly bad. It would be wrong to say Quorthon has(or rather had) a strong voice but nevertheless I prefer it to his sick bm croaking.
Basement Jaxx - Breakaway
Yngwie is fucking hilarious.
Meat Puppets - Severed Goddess Hand
I totally wish these guys were still around.
Good news Kai! They are! They are going to release a new album next year. Both Kirkwoods, they've made up and are practicing together. No Derrick on drums but Tim Alexander from Primus is taking over. So go clean your pants.
Beatallica - I Want To Choke Your Band
I love these guys. Beatles songs done in a Metallica stylee, with their own added twist on the songs in question. It's feel good music at its best :D
This Is A Long Drive With Nothing To Think About is an amazing album.
Sonic Youth - Bubblegum
EVOL is by far their most underrated album. Hands down.
Electrelane!
'Film Music' and 'The Valleys' from Rock It To The Moon.
In fact all three of their albums rock. It's quite instrumental and sort of dirgey in places but really quite joyous. Often it's very cinematic. And they're all GIRLS. Really a great band, very different.
Mother Love Bone - Chloe Dancer/Crown Of Thorns
Seattle's Finest.
Slint - Good Morning, Captain
so sad.
i feel out of place.
i'm listening to Emery.
i feel out of place.
i'm listening to Emery.
Theatres Des Vampires are, like, the campest metal band ever. I love them.
Yay, first post.
I'm feeling horribly out of place here, but I'm currently listening to the most recent Front Line Assembly album, Artificial Soldier. And I find it vaguely ironic that they now sound like... well, just about every other Industrial band out there, just with more of a tendancy towards Gibson references, and fans are praising them for "setting a new standard in the genre with this one".
I really need to listen to more Frontline Assembly, but what I've heard hasn't particularly piqued my interest.I really couldn't blame you. FLA is, moreso than most bands, not for everyone. In fact, I've really yet to find someone who likes their entire catalogue. Everyone seems to have a favorite era for them - their earlier stuff is better, in my opinion.
Pavement - Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain
I still have my original cd from '95, I think it might be my only CD I still have (well that hasn't gotten a replacement copy) wait, no there is Flood by TMBG, but anyway I've listened the crap out of this cd... I'm gonna have to buy a new one since this is starting to skip a bit around Gold Sounds.. can't have that!
Murderdolls - Dead in Hollywood
Man, why did that mofo Jordison have to get mixed up with Wednesday 13 and fuck everything up with tons of 14 year old sheep fans.
Whatever, this is still pretty much classic Frankenstein Drag Queens with a bit better production.
"Hey Frankenstein! What's on your mind? Hey Dracula! I heard you....SUCK!"
From what little I've heard, Murderdolls > Wednesday 13, depite my roommate's protests to it being the other way around.
bjork -homogenic
i can't be bothered to discuss it i just love bjork and i hate people who say bjork is crap when the only cong they have heard is "it's oh so quiet" which in my opinion is her worst song and is totally unlike any of her other stuff!
Quote from: messynessiebjork -homogenic

Man. I have heard like 2 of Bjork's albums and her greatest hits disk, and I still cannot get into her. I feel like I should like her, but I really can't bring myself to listen to more than one of her songs at a time.
Right now,
The Electric Version - The New Pornographers
I like a lot of their 'similiar artists' and everything (Front 242, Skinny Puppy, KMFDM, Covenant and Assemblage 23, according to last.fm). I probably just need to hear the right tracks.
Nattefrost - Nekronaut (Cunt Cunt Gimme More)
YOU'RE GOING TO DIEEEEE!
I fucking love Nattefrost. It's like Carpathian Forest's 'He's Turning Blue' made into a whole band.
i found her eerily easy to get into! the first song i heard of hers was army of me which an ex of mine used to always sing (he was constantly singing random stuff!) and from then on i couldn't get enough! you do have to be in the right mood for her though.
i love the album with no musical instruments on it it's really out there it's called medulla. it's just totally vocal

I love everything I have heard by her. Her former band The Sugarcubes are also good. I haven't heard Drawing Restraint 9 which really is a mistake since it's got Will Oldham on it.
She has a song in Danish called Nu Flyver Anton(Now Flies Anton) and it is quite cute :)
Burzum - Daudi Baldrs
I only really like Hlidskjalf and Daudi Baldrs, Filosofem and earlier stuff doesn't really appeal to me.
The repetitive banging away on his guitar is a bit dull. The screams are fine and all but it gets a bit longwinded.
Range Life - Pavement
and now
Heaven is a Truck - Pavement
Hurray for Crooked Rain!
Well when you get the chance, check out maudlin's Bath album. it is really good.
Autechre - Dael
Oh am I ever so disappointed. I had hoped it would be a hell of lot more fucked up than this. This is tame, even pleasant :|
Unter Null's The Failure Epiphany - just freaking insane how good this is. It's rare that harsh ebm or anything that resembles terror ebm has a point or is inventive, but this is.
Angelspit
John Frusciante - Regret
Beautiful and heartbreaking if you keep his past drug abuse in mind. Shadows Collide With People is one of my favourite albums.
Fugazi - Repeater
I kind of avoided his music for now, I'm not sure why. I need to fix that.
Any good albums I should listen to?
Pink Floyd - Astronomy Domine
The opening riff of this is so wonderfull malevolent and dark, I love it, and i don't get how he could have only played it twice in the song and then never again on the rest of it.
Buckethead - Unrestrained Growth
Population Override is so great.
The Junction- Frequencies
If you like indi-rock, you will love this band. And the fact that half this song is in 7/4 makes it even more sexy.Check them out here. (http://www.thejunction.ca)
Datarock are really good as long as you don't think about them too hard. I love that CD.
Bruce Dickinson - Book of Thel
The Chemical Wedding is a concept album about William Blake, some tracks on it, like this one are truly excellent, great lyrics and great music.
James Figurine - You Again
Ohmygodit's Jimmy Tamborello doing electropop again.
Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble Of Shadows - Do You Know About the Water of Life?
I just recently discovered these guys due to this forum, and I can't get enough of this album, really got me interested ind darkwave
Wilco - Handshake Drugs
I just got Kicking Television and it rocks.
What band was it that this Vortex guy sang in before?
Wilco - Handshake Drugs
Les Miserables!
Jean Valjean's voice = pure sexiness
i'm rockin it to early stars right now. kinda mellowing me out.
Avenged Sevenfold - Blinded In Chains
..Only just started listening to this band.. Rather interesting.
I've been listening to Tapes 'n Tapes The Loon. They're from my hometown area (Minneapolis) and have been getting some big attention lately. The CD is short but sweet, I like it a lot.
CW makes all other ventures into the territory of melodic black metal look decidedly pointless.
The Twilight Singers - I'm Ready
This is the song they opend their concert last night with. Fucking amazing concert, one of the best I've been to.
There's a lot of Bob Dylan love on this forums. I really need to get around to listening to him one of these days. Any suggestions on where to start?
Modern Times- Bob Dylan
Oh how I adore this album. I've had it for 2 days now and it's not left my cd player. I'm a big fan of rockabilly stylings and this album has it in spades.
I think I like The Levee's gonna break close second is Workingman's Blues #2
yup.
Man, I can not listen to Blonde on Blonde.
Go pick up Highway 61 Revisited and The Times They Are a Changin'. They are way better, I do believe.
Man, I can not listen to Blonde on Blonde.
The new Roots is rock rock rock.
Meshuggah - New Millenium Cyanide Christ
Awesome. Awesome to the max.
Oddly enough, the last little guitar part (right before the final "any way the wind blows") has ALWAYS made me think of a Final Fantasy theme for some reason...anyone else have the same problem, or am I alone in this?
The Mountain Goats - Get Lonely.
Meanwhile, I keep coming back to Mariah Carey's 'We Belong Together'. :D
Quote from: nuisanceMeanwhile, I keep coming back to Mariah Carey's 'We Belong Together'. :D
Fucking love that song.
Gang Gang Dance - Before My Voice Fails
I love GGD! But their name is a bit unlucky.
I'm the only person i know who listens to Venom... sigh.
Most hip-hop and dance albums have intros at the start. Or is that not what you mean?
Rihanna - Pon de Replay
Back when that clapping sound was hot.
Also she is a whiner isn't she?
Teenage Bottlerocket- "Bloodbath at Burger King"
This is quite possibly one of the catchiest pop-punk songs ever written. Right up there with "I Wanna Be a Homosexual".
Currently | listening | to | Junior | Boys' | When | |

I think you should check out the earlier works of Runrig,
What am I listening to?
OPM's new album.
Sometimes I hate my job.
No shower will wash this off. I'll have to peel all my skin off.
John Lennon - Working Class Hero
I love this song so much.
"Midnight in Montgomery" - Alan Jackson
Same album, the song haunts the shit out of me. And one time when he was playing it live in Montgomery (I think it was Montgomery, anyway) the lights all went out. Creepy as all hell.
Moby - Go (Trentemoller Mix)
Original track was released in 1991, making it 15 years old. Heard in a variety of places over the years. It always reminds me of the good old days of Trance, back before Guidos killed the scene here in Toronto. Back when I was young, and I could party till 11am, no problems. Ah, youth. *wistful sigh*
Yes, I do like Ben Folds, now shut up about it.I won't shut up about it, because I also heart Ben Folds.
Old is awesome? Damn.
Basement Jaxx - Take Me Back To Your House.
IT HAS BANJOS IN IT. What's not to like?
Deathmøle – “Unicorn Remains”
So obviously I’m out of the loop ‘cause I’m just hearing the Deathmøle tracks now. I am just floored by this. As far as two-dimensional bands go, Deathmøle kicks Gorillaz ass.
As good as both their albums are (Demon Days being the better of the two), Gorillaz have never been as fucking metal as Deathmøle is.
Elliott Smith - Between the Bars.Holy shit! Muffy! Haven't seen a post from you in a while, welcome back. Happy to see you still have great musical taste, Either/Or just might be my favourite Elliott Smith record. SO hard to choose though.
Somehow manages to make me feel weepy no matter how much of a good mood I'm in...
The Pixies- Happiness is a Warm Gun (their version is excellent, especially with Kim on vocals)Did you download this? I'm wondering if it's The Breeders' version miss-tagged.
Isis - "Oceanic."
It is, if Michael Jackson is the one singing it. The Alien Ant Farm version makes me want to slaughter them with the removed shards or Jacko's former nose.
I like how the messege is that Eleanor Friedberger is awesome, because Eleanor Friedberger IS awesome and deserves to have an awesome song written about her.
um
i tottally don't have a crush on her after seeing the Fiery Furnaces twice. stop looking at me like that
Those comps were so exciting at the time, really inspiring shit.? I went back and listened to the first one recently, still got some really good moments.? Kinda looks at dub as a virus / meme rather than as a sound...?? The Bedouin Ascent track is amazing, I reckon.? He was a weird one - writing UK techno stuff in polyrhythmic patterns and non-standard time signatures...? Something fairly confounding about making that kind of music with analogue synths and drum machines.? And that Tricky track is cool - hilarious approch to a remix, must've taken him all of 10 minutes.. that's Alison Goldfrapp on vox, by the way... I was so shocked when she went all electro-clash after doing these beautiful semi-ambient tracks with people like Tricky, Orbital and Plaid.I love Vol. 2 of that series, too.? As far as Goldfrapp goes, I enjoyed her first, trip-hoppier album more than the subsequent dancier stuff.
"The Chimbley Sweep" - The Decemberists
For I am a poor and a wretched boy, I am a chimbley sweep!
"Mars, the Bringer of War" - Gustav Holst
Boyd Rice & Giddle Partridge - Bonnie and ClydeIt's not bad, but the thing I find weird about this was that they've clearly just sampled and looped the bits of the original music they needed and then re-done the vocal on top. I think on Warm Leatherette they've remade the music, but it's reeeeeeeeeeeeeally faithful.
I am literally addicted to this song.

Brilliant.
"Mars, the Bringer of War" - Gustav Holst
That's a win, right there...I haven't listened to any of The Planets Suite for a long ass time...I think now I am going to have to do just that.
Mars was fun as all hell to play, and I thought Jupiter was always beautiful...
Boyd Rice & Giddle Partridge - Bonnie and ClydeIt is interesting to find out what the hell Bonnie and Clyde's lyrics mean in English... although I wonder how faithful the lyrics are to the French? Do you know if any eager World Serpent afficionados have looked into it?
I am literally addicted to this song.
http://www.myspace.com/riceandpartridge
Brilliant.
The first time I heard the Bonnie and Clyde music was as sampled by MC Solaar.? Then there was a really faithful (you could say, redundant) cover with Laetitia Sadier of Stereolab doing the Brigitte's part... from memory it's on their second album, but it was a "hidden track" (meh).? Anyway, I heard the Luna cover before I heard the Gainsbourg & Bardot version, so I originally thought Luna and Stereolab had decided to make a French pop song from a French hip-hop track.? :oops:? Very confused.? Fascinating, I know.? ?:-PIs that where that guitar?s from? Renegade Soundwave samples it, too on the track ?Renegade Soundwave??frankly, that guitar was my favorite part of that whole album.
The Mars Volta "Day of the Baphomets". "Amputechture" has really grown on me. At first, I didn't get it but after listening a couple of times... you know the story. I seem to be the only one who thinks it is their best work yet.
You should check out At the Drive-In first. They were much better.
ATDI is ok, I used to enjoy them when I was in high school but there stuff hasn't aged well for me at all. I used to love Realtionship of Command, I can't stand it these days.
Mars Volta are so much better though, I don't know where to start.
The thing that struck me when I heard them was the huge 70's prog influence it had running through the sound. It was like someone had taken King Crimson, Pink Floyd and Yes and modernized them. Cedric's vocal delivery is much more restained and about 10* more enjoyable. ?They are really awesome live as well one of the best bands I've seen, if not the best.
Hot Water Music - Free Radio Gainesville
If you consider yourself a fan of punk rock and don't know/like HWM, then you sir/madame are no fan of punk rock!

What do I do if the only Hot Water Music I actually like is Caution, but I think it's a freaking amazing album? Am I okay?
ATD-I were amazing. The Mars Volta and Sparta are both great and stuff, but they're just not as original.

The aural equivalent of watching a bag of kittens being thrown into a canal.
I don't want to start a big argument here, how were ATDI original?
Venetian Snares' new Hospitality EP.
wonderful. has quite a mature/refined sound to it (not too far from rossz csillag allat szuletett, but with less orchestra and more drum machine) but still keeps the trademark VS sense of humour. the opener ("Frictional Nevada") is incredible. really diggin the cover (http://xs202.xs.to/xs202/06241/hospitality.jpg), too.
Morbid Angel - Fall from Grace
Blessed are the Sick is a damn fine album. Love Trey's guitar work on it.
Wow, a lot of The Mars Volta fans. Heh. I feel a little outnumbered :D I shall behave.
Destroyer - Rubies (from Destroyer's Rubies)
I listened to this album for a while without really being able to make any sense of it, and then all of a sudden in the course of one listen it was like every hook on the album (and there are a lot of them) finally penetrated my consciousness. So basically I just convulsed like a gangster being riddled with bullets from a tommy gun for fifty or so minutes.
That was a few weeks ago, but Destroyer's Rubies has proven to have impressive staying power; I still want to listen to it pretty much every day and I have to force myself to try new stuff instead. It's a great, great album.
Sage Francis- Inherited Scars (simply sublime mix here)
Panic! At The Disco - I Write Sins Not Tragedies.
I find it really hard to listen to this

Fugazi - Song #1
I am rocking out to Repeater + 3 Songs. After further listening I have concluded that it is equal with 13 Songs.
Faithless - Mass Destruction
This song has a point.
Since when are BDM fucked up brutal USBM? I remember them as probably the least original MDM band ever.
Joy Division - Transmission
Since when are BDM fucked up brutal USBM? I remember them as probably the least original MDM band ever.
Joy Division - Transmission
Well, let me clarify. Compared to most of the stuff I listen to, BDM are fucked up and brutal. It's probably the heaviest band I listen to, even though they sound like child's play compared to, say Cattle Decapitation or something.
So, no they're not fucked up and brutal to someone who listens to a lot of extremely extreme metal, but to me, they are.
Also, I'm not exactly an expert on BM of any kind, and I've seen them described as alot of things but not BM, but that being said, to me, they are.
Blast beats? Check

According to Wikipedia, they're Melodic Death Metal or Metalcore, but to mine ears they exhibit none or barely any of the marks of those genres, and are basically just labeled as such because they're a metal band who has emerged from Massachusetts in the past 5 years.
Why is it called "black" metal?
All musical art is ideally the sum of its parts--inspiration, writing, and instrumentation--which all clearly reflect a certain intent (mindset, ideology, worldview, vision, whatever you'd like to call it) of the artist at work. With that in mind, black metal is designed with a single artistic purpose, a purpose that can flesh itself out in a fairly wide variety of ways: the opposition of Judeo-Christian ideology and its influences on society. Therefore, the "black" in "black metal" refers to the blasphemous, offensive, profane, or extreme ideological and musical tools that the bands utilize to make their points known. It refers to the negativity of the artform: black metal is negative art because it displays the innate tragedies of reality, the inevitability of death, or the perceived ugliness of the Christian world in a way so that the listener gains some catharsis from the music. Additionally, black metal doesn't simply blaspheme; to succeed, it must simultaneously append its own solution (i.e. black metal doesn't just attack Judeo-Christianity... it overthrows it.) Some prominent themes that can be found in black metal are: nihilism (the replacement of Christian morals,) bloody warfare and victory over Christianity, the apocalypse or Ragnarok, the rise of demonic or Satanic forces, anti-Christian paganism and heathenism, Nazism, and the occult.

The more I listen to the new cd, the less I like it compared to the self-titled one.? Maybe it's just me, but something about "Yes, Virginia" just seems...I don't know, I almost want to say lazy.? I hate being the guy that yells "Sellout!" as soon as a group moves to a bigger label, or gets better distribution, but it just seems like all of Amanda's fangs went away.? The songs, other than "Modern Moonlight" seem to be lacking something, there's just not the sense of urgency or intensity than made me fall in love with this band in the beginning.? Don't get me wrong, I still like the new cd, but it's a little disappointing compared to what I thought it would be.? Oh well, who am I to judge...
Anyway, back on topic, I am currently listening to The Shape Of Punk To Come by freakin' Refused...one of my top 10 albums, most likely...I can't think of anything I don't like about it.
Samael - Knowledge of the Ancient Kingdom
Not bad, I prefer the later stuff they've done actually, Eternal would be my favorite of their albums. That said Worship Him isn't bad even if it does sound rather generic.

...early stuff

Wearing corpse paint and playing tremlo riffs does not make you a black metal band. Neither does being "Fucked up and Brutal". In general I would say that most Black metal bands are more melodic then DM bands.
Dungen.
Swedish Wolfmother
Toured with Wolfmother
Battle Of Mice-A Day of Nights.
I bought this on a whim due to hearing Sleep and Dream on a sampler cd somewhere and it's amazing. It would be perfect chillout music if the vocalist wasn't so damn scary.
Am waiting for the new Kylesa album to arrive. If the postman does not arrive with it soon I will unleash my cats on him.
Eels - Not Ready YetI was in the record store with my friend today and made him buy Beautiful Freak. It was 12 dollars and had a wad of cash on him. It made me quite content.
wee Eels
I disagree...kind of. I was never all that impressed with their early stuff, but there's something about Shape Of Punk To Come that just blew me away when I first heard it, and I still consider it one of my top albums. I've listened to the rereleases of their earlier material and my general reaction has been "meh" but that Shape Of Punk.. release was, in my opinion, amazing.
Arghoslent - The Purging Fires of War
Holy fuck, Arghoslent are good, killer riffs, some of the best I've heard in Death metal, great solos. So epic. Only bad thing is the lyrics, which deal with American colonial times and are pretty racist...
I don't think they're really pushing a racist agenda: at least, they have none of the classic Nazi trappings.
I don't think they're really pushing a racist agenda: at least, they have none of the classic Nazi trappings.
I dunno. I read your blog, and I still think they're pushing a racist agenda. You mentioned that nobody would use the term "bigot" as a positive moniker, but I disagree. I saw a Klan rally once and the leader got up and went "I hate spics, hi i am an ignorant fucktard, please ban me, Jews, Asians, and any other kind of foreigner! I don't have a to have a reason; I just hate 'em 'cause they're there!" People like that know they're being unreasonable, but they don't care. Plus, the album title "Incorrigible Bigotry" is certainly an attention grabber.
Arch Enemy - Ravenous
Seeing these guys live was pretty insane. Not only was I about 15 feet from the band, seeing a tiny blonde German woman make some pretty fucking evil sounds was mildly surreal.
And her accent was pretty hot when she actually spoke normally, too.
I like the new MCR single.
Melechesh - Djinn...i can't get enough of this album...especially the oriental intro...so awesome
Melechesh - Djinn...i can't get enough of this album...especially the oriental intro...so awesome
Fuck yeah, I love Sphynx slightly better then Djinn but they are both awesome records.
"As Jerusalem Burns" they're first album is a bit different but still very good, less epic much more raw but still well worth a listen.
Melechesh are a really great band. If you haven't already you may want to check out Absu, Proscriptors main band, cause face it the mans a fucking awesome drummer.

It's the bird, it must have been the bird
Disgusting critter, it must
We should have known better then to trust
This disease infested ball of lust and carnage
Piece of garbage with wings and she has the guts to sing
Get the bird, catch her shoot her, I dont care
Get the bird, bring her down to the ground from out the air
Gotta tear her apart, let me at her first
Sink her to the level of the rest of us that inherit the earth
What's she thinking? does she really believe
That shes above the creatures that work the dirt and the streets
See her up in the tree, looking down at you and me
Like she's chosen over those who walk around on two feet
The bird, the melodys she play
The music she make, rubbing our faces in the feces of the daybreak
Trying to remind us, its time to awake
Antaganizing and instigating my hate
The chirps, I turn them into screams
My feathered friends end will justity the means
Disturbed, I'll grab her by her beak
And swing her in circles untill she's too dizzy to speak
Well I'll shake her from her branch, tear apart her nest
Break her skinny legs and fry her eggs up for breakfast
(she's a snake that can fly) she's just food for the fleas
She thinks she's better then me just because she's free?

"Don, Aman" off Spiderland by Slint. Y'know, I don't really see what all the fuss is about this... It's good and all, but it is not the MUSICAL REVOLUTION that everyone makes it out to be...
wintersun's self titled debut
very power metal orientated melodic death metal
Faraquet- Conceptual Separation
wintersun's self titled debut
very power metal? orientated melodic death metal
I've always been curious how does Wintersun compare to Ensiferum, I really love their "Iron" cd. Are they similar at all.
Death - Trapped in a Corner
"Individual Though Patterns" is highly underrated IMO
Faraquet- Conceptual Separation
That album is ace. Although I'm pretty sure that that song title should be "Conceptual Separation of Self". (My OCD-ish music side is kicking in.)
"We're From Barcelona" - I'm From Barcelona
NANANANANANANANANANA NANANA NA NA NA NA NA!
Less than Jake - Help save the Youth of America from Exploding
hey it's something non metal in my playlist :P, this is a throw back to my high school years, catchy as hell...
Nevermore - Seed Awakening
How is it possible that Enemies of Reality is this band's worst album and yet it still has songs like this on it? How does that work?
Q And Not U - Fever Sleeves
Arsis - A Diamond For Disease. I am sold on this band...they're good.
Yep
"Fox In the Snow" - Belle & Sebastian
You have to really really suck to fail at drowning out BELLE AND SEBASTIAN
Frost - Milliontown.
Some prog band one of my coworkers was listening to; they have keyboard parts that sound like the music from the Casino Night Zone levels of Sonic the Hedgehog (I think it was the second game). Pretty interesting stuff - not anything that I'd buy myself, but it was good for a listen.
I'm sure it dosen't compare to the metal people listen to, but its all really personal and cutting
Dinosaur Jr- Kraked
Is that the name of the song, or are you seriously requesting help?It's the name of the song.

Why is Hand of Doom so often covered, especially by doom and sludge bands? I want to hear Electric Wizard or Sunn O))) do a sick as hell bowel discharging version of Electric Funeral or A National Acrobat. Actually, anyone know of ANY other covers of A National Acrobat except Sopor Aeternus' one (which is wierd as all fuck, though not quite as wierd as the Paranoid cover)? I probably have one somewhere in my music collection, but I can't think of anything.
Dream Theater- 6:00
It baffles me that I can't seem to find their first 2 albums ANYWHERE, because I want them. If anyone sniffs out a lead, please let me know.

Dillenger Escape Plan - Miss MAchine. This gets a lot of hate for some reason, mostly because of the more industrial-sounding elements they incorporated in the mix, but I really like it. I hate the cover art a lot though.
This is the best post-Danzig song, easily.
That's a rather dubious honor, donchathink?
Jesu's new album (it got leaked about a week ago.) It is awesome! It's not very metal, it's more like a heavy, blissed out shoegaze album with lots of synths. I would liken it to M83 remixing Loveless, or something along those lines. You should all download it.
Sol Invictus - Lex Talionis - Lex Talionis.
I downloaded this because you repeatedly made worshipful reference to them, Khar. All I can say is: thank you so goddamned much for letting me know about this band, and about neofolk as a whole.
Next stops on the download express: Jonah's Ark and Folkemon by Skyclad.
Army- Ben Folds Five (live)
The crowd participation makes this song.
The dynamics, man
Medications - Occupied
This album (Your Favorite People All In One Place) is really meh. Which kind of pisses me off, because the free tracks they have on their website are pretty good, but not indicative of the full album. The last few songs are pretty good though.
Tomorrow I am going to a couple of record stores, so I will report the music I purchase and what I'm listening to.
I would put forth Don Caballero over Medications if you want math-rock drumming.
I would have to say no. Damon Che doesn't impress me as much as Andrew Becker. At least not yet. I would be glad for you to give me examples.
El Opium, dude, do you still want your mix? It's just waiting for me to burn it.
-Yes please, I'd totally forgotten about the whole thing. I'll still get something to you too.
Right now: Klaus Schulze-Neuronengsang

Acid Mothers Temple - Magic Aum Rock / Mercurial Meg :-o
AMT always confuse the hell out of me...
Talk Talk - New Grass
Mutilation-Death
As brutal and raw as Scream Bloody Gore is, I'm much more a prog guy, and like Death's later albums a whole ton more, that being said, this album is still amazing as it was pretty much the first true death metal album (released 1987). Terrible bands all over the world cite this as the reason they exist.......just like the rest of the death metal community
Interesting side note: Chuck Shuldiner died the same day my sister turned 13.
Fugazi - Fell, Destroyed
I'm starting to get into Red Medicine more.
The middle of Houses of the Holy is pretty painful
Clogs - Lantern
If there's better orchestral pseudo-classical post rock out there, I don't know what it is.
That Prokofiev thing sounds interesting, I've been wanting more of that in music ever since I heard Blood Axis' 'Reign I Forever', which samples Romeo and Juliet.
Yo La Tengo - Sugar Cube
Channels - To The New MandarinsEverything that involves J Robbins is bound to be awesome.
Waiting For The Next End Of The World is a pretty boss album.
Elton John - Rocket Man
Part of me tells me I shouldn't be listening to Elton John, because that'd make me lose serious pretension points, but I can't help it. Rocket Man is just so awesome...
And I think it's gonna be a long long time...
Morbid Angel - In Remembrance
nice little piano outro at the end of "Blessed are the Sick", a fine way to end an excellent album.
Man I have not listened to Morbid Angel for way too long. Death Metal galore.
Oxbow - The Valley
Elton John - Rocket Man
Part of me tells me I shouldn't be listening to Elton John, because that'd make me lose serious pretension points, but I can't help it. Rocket Man is just so awesome...
And I think it's gonna be a long long time...
I think it's perfectly acceptable to listen to Elton John as long as it's 60s/70s Bernie Taupin Elton. Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, Honky Chateau, Captain Fantastic, Caribou, etc, were fucking incredible albums. The later stuff where it was sometimes with Bernie, sometimes not, starts to suck a bit/a lot.
I've heard they did a "sequel" of sorts to Captain Fantastic last year but I haven't heard it yet. I'm both excited and skeptical.
Yeah I guess there a very take or leave it sought of a band.
I really enjoy the way they structure their songs, especially on "Blessed are the Sick" I think that album is an absoloute master peice. The riffs are really interesting and quite unconventional, the way they play off against each other and all the solos, its really well done.
They remind me a lot of Emperor actually the way they layer their sound.
Boards of Canada - An Eagle In Your Mind
Melechesh - Secrets of Sumerian Sphynxology
Blackfield - Blackfield (the whole record)
Man, these guys are so great... (I actually like Aviv Geffen's voice more than Steven Wilson... but that don't matter when they are together, then they are just wonderful both of them)
Also, I think The Tyranny of Distance is probably one of the best cds I've ever heard.
Pink was a dissapointment
Their voices really go well together, and neither of them drowns out the other. Fantastic partnership.Well. I was a little disappointed... but after all there is 3 years between the records =)
You managed to get hold of the new one? It's well worth the effort.
Ulver - Nattens Madrigal
I always knew of Ulver as a black/folk metal band. I didn't even know about the ambient/electronic/experimental stuff until 2 years ago. I love all of it though. The later stuff is kind of like being stuck inside Garm's head, but I'm fine with that.
Underoath- Young and Aspiring
On constant repeat. I have to learn it for band practice tonight. It's not very good.
Dude, if your band is playing Underoath your need to seriously rethink your musical direction.
Current 93 - Thunder Perfect Mind - "A Song for Douglas After He's Dead".
I'm not sure why, but the vocals on this song distantly remind me of the sneered parts of Pink Floyd's The Wall. Interpret that as you will, Mr Tibet.
I've listened to both those albums probably over a hundred times, and I ain't seeing it.
i'm struggling through the 'god's money' album by gang gang dance. for the most part i find it vaugely irritating and unpleasant (although oddly cool at times. very tribal and bizzare).
Cradle of Filth - Gilded Cunt
It came up through random, my player is always on random next song.
I like this song, it has a good beat to it, nice and always moving. Not something I'd play on a party though...

I just bought 'Loveless' today. Been looking for it for ages. So far, so fantastic.
Massive Attack is known for doing the themes to several TV series
I like this song, it has a good beat to it, nice and always moving. Not something I'd play on a party though.
I'm honestly curious, how the heck did it take you "ages" to find a copy of Loveless? Do you live in Antarctica?
Love Spit Love - How Soon is Now?
Yeah, I know it was used in The Craft and as the title music for Charmed or whatever, but I still like this version. Mainly because it's sung by the guy from the Psychedelic Furs and I've got a huge musical hard-on for the Furs.
Don't mind me, I get fixated on cover versions.Love Spit Love - How Soon is Now?

How odd. I was just talking about this cover in the thread about bands that shouldn't be covered. I like this version too.
RE: Bauhaus cover of Ziggy.
Yes indeed. THAT is a good cover of a Bowie song. Bauhaus also cover "Telegram Sam" which makes me happy as I love me some T.Rex.
Bauhaus also covered 'Spirit in the Sky'. I can only pray they shot up a bucket or two of heroin before that. It's strange.
Modified paranoid lyrics
Those are great, what other Sabbath songs has she done.
It is lo-fi, man.
No. Lo-fi generally means poor recording or production quality.
To me, "lo-fi" and "well prodced" are not mutually exclusive terms. To me, lo-fi is something that is under-produced
Right. And Pink is not "under-produced". It is very deliberately produced. It is deliberately produced to sound messy and noisy, it's true, but it's not under-produced. Pink was crafted very deliberately. It may at times sound "sloppy", but it sounds that way on purpose. That is the difference betweeb "lo-fi" and "not lo-fi".

There's an enormous amount you can do with a 4-track. My personal obsession is live stereo or even mono, god forbid. There's no reason it shouldn't sound good. The first Handful of Dust single was called 'A Little Aesthetic Discourse' because I imagined it as a lesson. There was nothing lo-tech about the recording. It was me in a bona fide studio recording with two Neumann microphones, a couple of grand each, on a Studer 2-track. But it was direct, and a recording was of what was in the room.
The fact that it sounds 'lo-fi,' as people love to call it, is simply because my equipment is lo fi. My amp makes a storm of noise even at rest. People mistake that for a hissy recording. No, it's a very clear recording of a very hissy sound and that's something people have trouble grasping. Theres no reason why the kind of strategy I'm talking about needs to be lo-fi, it's not about trying to record badly, on the contrary, I'm very interested in recording sounds faithfully, it's just the strategy you adopt and the sound that you are recording. In my case it's a sound in a room that you are recording faithfully
Arcturus- Sideshow Symphonies.
Loving this album very much. Awesome spacey symphonic black metal. Kind of. Anyway it's really good, with some parts that are real cheesy but lots of good stuff. I would recommend!
I'm honestly curious, how the heck did it take you "ages" to find a copy of Loveless? Do you live in Antarctica?

Sideshow Symphonies is probably their weakest album. I'm assuming that this is your first taste of Arcturus? Check out The Sham Mirrors. For one thing it has Garm singing on it.
Arcturus are comming to Aus in March, only reason I haven't bought ticket was because I didn't get into Sideshow Symphonies at all... La Masquerade Infernale is my fav Arcturus cd...
Caspian if you're interested in Spacey BM I sugest checking out the following albums
Samael - Passage \ Eternal
Limbonic Art - Moon in the Scorpio\ In Abhorrence Dementia
Odium - The Sad Realm of the Stars
Covenant - Nexus Polaris
Enslaved - Isa (Viking metal in space!!!)
because there are few things i like more in my life than ass kickin' 80's metal, sadly i am alone in my views.
Immortal- Pure Holocuast
I have no idea why it took me so long to finally get ahold of this. It is sort of blowing me away. Oddly enough I think it might sound better with death vocals though.
Jesu - Conqueror. Found it on OiNK the other day. It's pretty damned good.I'm listening to that too. Album of the year already?? Quite possibly.
"Mars" from The Planets - Gustav Holst
One of my all-time favorites.
Crap dude, really, Ted Leo? We couldn't tell.
fuck me this album (ISA) is good, it's progressive, epic and my god its well composed. The evoloution of Enslaved has been amazing, continue to astound with every album they put out
ditto x 1000 to the statement about Big Brother. God I love that album.The whole album is absolutely excellent. It's one of the few albums I can just lie on my bed and listen to all the way through in the dark without getting bored or falling asleep.
My favorite song from it is probably either We Are the Dead or the Sweet Thing/Candidate/Sweet Thing (reprise) bit. Love love love love love.
I am listening to myself type. Sorry, kids.
Your Mother - sucking off your father
Kayo Dot - Marathon
Kayo Dot - Marathon
tis' a great song! I am just getting acquainted with Leaving Your Body Map(the reissue) and it is just a notch down in terms of quality.
But it does give an intriguing and different aspect to Toby Driver's work. One of the bonus songs, Secret Song, is really good.
It took me some time to get that album. I remmember not liking it at first.
And man, I cannot find MotW albums anywhere. Godamnit.
Deftones - "Anniversary Of An Uninteresting Event." Such a criminally underrated song. I don't understand why the self-titled album got panned so hard by everyone, some of the songs were great. This is one of the most gorgeous things Chino has done vocally, on par with if not better than the Team Sleep material.
More tea, more beer - The Herbaliser.
It's got Jean Grae doing the vocals. I've fallen for her.
I cant really choose my favorite Deftones album. Although they're all different, I like White Poney, Adrenaline and the self-titled all the same. Still, that is a great album.
Have you heard the new one? I enjoyed the single but I cant seem to find it anywhere.
These Arms Are Snakes - Mescaline Eyes
It is actually not as good as the title would have you believe.
Isis - So Did We
Is it just me or is there a melodica buried somewhere in the mix?
PM me your e-mail, or your AIM screen name if you have one, I can rip it and send it to you if you'd like.
Angelic Process- Crippled Healing.
Blissed out shoegaze/drone. IT IS GOOD BUY IT!!1
Whitetail sort of ruins the start of the album for me. It is just so languid. Or it would were it not for the absolute class of Sunflower.
And I'm still waiting for a new Team Sleep album.
Iron and Wine - Cinder And Smoke
I think I said that Our Endless Numbered Days is my Frieday afternoon album. I love this song.
Big Neon Glitter - The Cult
Love goes down in history as one of my very fav albums, absolutely briliant
Slowdice - Souvlaki ("Alison")Hope you made it, the last song (on the original, my CD's got an EP tacked on it, which is a bit shit...) is the best, IMO. Pretty achingly sad. I love it lots.
I've actually never made it more than 2 songs into this album without falling asleep.
Hope you made it, the last song (on the original, my CD's got an EP tacked on it, which is a bit shit...)
Arvo Part - Tabula RasaReally? What are you thinking of? Fripp's Frippertonic solos? One of my best friends is a fairly obsessive Part fan, also likes Crimson, and he never mentioned Part being interested in any pop stuff of any kind... I know you don't know me, nor my friend, but just thought I'd say that I'd be very surprised if one of the leaders of Holy Minimalism or whatever it's called was secretly rocking out on his off-days.
Really fascinating stuff. Seems sort of like a King Crimson of classical (it was written in 1984, so it's not unreasonable to say the influence might be there).
Yeah Manitoba / Caribou is so like that. He has great production, but doesn't write very good tracks IMO. Pretty fun live set when he's got the double-drummer onslaught going.Well, I'm completely new to Arvo Part (that was actually my first listen ever as I wrote that), so I really had no idea what his influences are/were.Arvo Part - Tabula RasaReally?

There's a crazy earlier Part piece where he has a whole section / movement / whatevs played on toys. Not exactly in the same spirit as his super sombre later stuff! :)
"The KKK Took My Baby Away" - The Ramones
Dear everything.
Today I witnessed a crucifixion in pink and lavender and gold.
I've heard people say that beauty is in details,
but I don't think they have ever seen you.
There were mortal wounds inflicted on the sky
and incrminating blue stains on my shirt.
The shirt you bought for me.
Christ it hurts.
Like stars in my belly going supernova.
I feel like a zombie that refuses to live.
Haunting the junkyards and cutting myself on scraps of you.
The other day I masturbated to pictures of you at your birthday party.
They were the only ones I still had.
It felt so wrong, just like my life.
I hope I'm dead by the time you read this. I love you.
ONE MORE TIME
WE'RE GONNA CELEBRATE
OOOH YEAH
DON'T STOP THE DANCIN'
Steady Diet of Nothing is not my favorite Fugazi album, but it is enjoyable nonetheless.
"Ask DNA" - Yoko Kanno and The Seatbelts
btw amok, what does your "I hate finland i need 100 beers" mean? I couldn't find anything pointing to finland from there...
Dalek - Abandoned Language. I've been meaning to check this guy out for quite a while, ever since hearing his work on the Isis "Oceanin" remixes. I've since proceeded to download his whole back catalog, and will be buying this cd when it's properly released.
Drive Like Jehu - Here Come The Rome Plows
Drive Like Jehu- O Pencil Sharp
Asobi Seksu - "Thursday"
i love this song to no end.
"Serenades" and "A Fine Day to Exit" are my favorite Anathema albums, I think they may have a new album comming out later this year. I noticed on there website that Lee Douglas is listed as an "official" member now too which is kind of cool, since I think she has a very nice voice.
Windir - 1184
Quote from: The Seattle StrangerLungfish are unlike anything you'll soon witness again. A barrel-chested, heavily bearded, full-grown man deep in the throes of a shamanistic reverie, Higgs conducts himself more like a crazed prophet/poet from another dimension than a rock performer. Ferocious and otherworldly on stage, he's covered in tattoos from earlobes to ankles, and often labors in at least two pairs of pants, three or four shirts, a sweater, suit jacket, and work boots. Part Old Testament harbinger of the Apocalypse, and part physician's encyclopedia, he'll shed light on everything that's ever intrigued and terrified you. The band barely moves behind Higgs as his eyes roll back in his head and oceans of sweat froth from his beard, as he alternately shadowboxes or attempts to pull his own tongue out. I've observed him break a mic stand in half while screeching, "I beseech your long locust leg/Lust against a cloak of organs!... I beseech your secret number and name/the power of a single dollar/the power of the pinky finger!... wages of sin!... wages of sin!!!" And during a show at Brownies in NYC, two friends swear they saw him stab himself in the forehead with a safety pin and then eat a pen.
McTaggert, I just now noticed that Buck 65 is going to be on tour with Sage Francis and Buddy Wakefield this spring...I am going to do everything in my power to go to one of these shows.
They come across as being a band that would have a whole bucketload of awesome energy live.
If you like them check out the newer stuff from Graveland, from "Fire of Awakening" onwards (if you haven't allready) a bit similar in style and just as good imo.
Nokturnal Mortum - Слава Героям
Cheers for the tip Scytale, this cd's quality.
It's been a good day. So Jets to Brazil. Yes.
Venetian Snares - Pwntendo
Yeah, the Cruxshadows are really good, but they get silly if taken too seriously. Really fuckin' fun live though.
Drudkh - When The Flame Turns To Ashes
Ukrainian prog metal band, they remind me a bit of a heavier Opeth with fuzzier production. Epic.
With an album title like that it'd *have* to be good.
Demons & Wizards are awesome by the way. Absolutely love both of their albums. Fiddler on the Green is by far one of my favourite songs of all time.
Dodheimsgard - The Vile Delinquents
This is from their new, unreleased album Supervillain Outcast, which I've been listening to a lot for the past couple of days; it's fucking awesome. Retains the adventurousness of 666 International but tightens up the song structures incredibly both in terms of length, construction, and transition. The strange thing is that it's quite avant-garde sounding but it's so fundamentally well-constructed that it doesn't strike me as being weird in the same way that bands like DEP and Unexpect just try to make your head spin for no real reason; there's a subtlety to the inscrutability and strangeness of it that, given time to percolate, only causes the music to appear stranger.
Sleep - Jerusalem
Insanely loud of course. Can anyone tell me if there is a noticeable difference between this and Dopesmoker? I don't want to buy the latter if the difference is superficial.
I am actually looking forward to this one, though I don't have any prior experience with them. They have moved the release date haven't they?
"What It's Like" - Everlast (well, rather, I'm playing it on the guit-tawr and singing it 'cause I found lyrics in the interLOL)
Also, I saw Ted Leo + Pharmacists at Stanford University on March 4. It was awesome shit, he was inspiring in how much he seemed to be having an awesome time. I convinced one of his roadies to go back and have him sign my ticket. Be jealous.
Windir's 1184 is the best Viking album I've heard but Twilight of the Gods is quite awesome.
Currently playing:
Limbonic Art - Towards The Oblivion Of Dreams
I just found out Limbonic Art are re-united and are putting out a new album this year, I cannot describe how happy this makes me, they are a seriously, seriously under appreciated band.
Oooh and I also bought tickets to see Arcturus in Sydney on the 30th of March, I found out Astriaal are opening for them, which kicks arse because I really enjoy their "Renascent Misanthropy" album quite a lot. I've not really got into the last Arcturus album but it's worth paying the $45 just for Astriaal IMO.
All in all it's been a pretty sweet day for me...
Coroner - I Want You(She's So Heavy)I disagree. I like the album. "Divine Step" is definitely one of my favorite songs ever.
Genius cover. Odd swiss thrash metal is clearly what this song needs :-D
Shame the rest of the album is kind of dull.
Which Limbonic Art album is a musthave?
Sunn O)))- NN O)))
I'm seeing these guys on May 3 with Boris. I am freaking EXCITED!!!! This will possibly be the best gig of the year..
has harmonies (ooh, oooohooohooohaah, aaahaahaah aaaaaah), has a really cool baseline
Six Degree's of Inner Turbulence
Agalloch - Not Unlike WavesI was listening to Agalloch the other night. I really don't mind them at all, their music can be excellent in small doses. I find it to be a bit same-ish, but it's still awesome. I don't normally listen to much metal though, so I can't really comment.
Stil undecided about Agalloch, there good but not as good as the hype...
Finntroll - Nedg?ngI flinch and smile at the same time everytime I see Finntroll mentioned. I mean, a finnish band singing in swedish? Wikipedia has the explanation why though.
I just got Ur Jordens Djup yesterday and it's bloody good! they have become heavier without losing any of the catchiness.
The intro, Gryning, sounds like something off the Nightmare Before Christmas soundtrack!
Children of Bodom - Hatebreeder
I decided to listen to some of my older albums and had totally forgotten how good and awesome the Hatebreeder album was! I gotta' listen to this some more...
If you like Kayo Dot, I suggest you try Muadlin of the Well, its the band before KD. A bit more metal then KD, but still very Avant-Grade.
Teenage Kicks - The Undertones
I just watched Dave Chappelle's Block Party
Tom Waits - Ol' '55
I love this song!
Polar Bear Club
Indie/Hardcore from Rochester Ny.
Think small brown bike, meets casket lottery, meets hot water music.
Except they don't sound like any of those bands. hahaha.
http://www.myspace.com/polarbearclub
seriously, everyone should check this band out.
don't let the 'hardcore' tag throw you off, they're not like converge or anything.
I'm streaming bits and pieces of the new Blonde Redhead album because of incidently hearing 'Elephant Woman' yesterday and seeing a bunch of people here talking about them. It sounds pretty good. I've never really checked them out before and they're living up to expectations. I realise now that this is the band I needed to hear when in those moods where you want to listen to radiohead but you really don't want to listen to goddamn radiohead.
'Top Ranking' is probably my favourite so far.
I am on a Finnish metal kick. HIM and The 69 Eyes.
Boris with Michio Kurihara - You Lauged Like A Water Mark
The 69 Eyes is good but HIM is just too pop for me and that's pretty much what everyone else I know here in Finland thinks about them.
I want to record these things over the same period of time from different spots around there. I think it'd be interesting to see how different the same sounds would sound.Cool idea. I love doing this kind of thing. One thing I've noticed is how good your ears / brain are at focusing on particular sounds, particularly when they pop up against a fairly consistent background of loud stuff. I'll often be recording something, thinking how awesome one particular sound is, and it's only when I go home and try to isolate that moment that I realise that it's as good as lost under all the other noise that was happening at the time.
Death in June - All Pigs Must Die
Not that it's a bad thing
Arsis - The Marriage Bed
QuoteArsis - The Marriage Bed
I haven't heard United in Regret yet because I'm... I don't know. I loved A Diamond for Disease, though. How's United? good?
Samael - Solar Soul
Thanks for the tip in the other thread dude, I love Samael and had no idea this was about.
I've just been watching the Black Trip DVD, which is from the Exodus / Eternal Tour and these new songs are going to kill live, I envy anyone going to see them, especially if it's a Wakken, that performance will kill...
Thursday - Ny Batteri (Sigur Ros cover)
The Album Leaf- "Gust Of..."Nice. I'm going to be seeing them next week with the band I'm listening to right now - Young Galaxy "Come and See".
I am in the middle of my college's student union, subjecting my neighbors to the goodness of it because I left my headphones in my room.
The Angelic Process - Million Year Summer
Devastating. Utterly devastating.
Due to a massive hold up at Decaying Sun I am probably gonna receive Coma Waering and Weighing Souls With Sand at roughly the same time.
Drone metal overload!
Anyway, I'm listening to THe Field- Everyday. Really loving this.
Freaking amazing band! Admittedly Million Year Summer hasn't impressed as much as the songs off Coma Waering, but I'll wait until I've got the record in my stereo, playing at a really loud volume before I pass Judgement.
If you haven't got any Angelic Process records, you're in for a great surprise. Crippled Healing in particular is an excellent song, but everything on the album is really solid. They have great song titles too.
New Order - Blue Monday
fuck guys
The Replacements - Answering Machine
Fuck I love this song.
Fugazi - Five Corporations
this album is so good ugggh.
It's true Bergtatt is amazing it's my second favorite Black Metal album, behind Filosofem and slightly above Under a Funeral Moon and Nachthymnen.
Kapitel II - Soelen Gaaer Bag Aase Ned is my favorite track from it. just because of the beauty that is that flute...
Windir - Sognariket Sine Krigarar
If anyone has a chance to get the Windir DVD get it, it's amazing.
Whats the new Porcupine Tree album like?
I like Haino's solo works better, myself.
i've started listening to mates of state again and realized that i don't know any other band off the top of my head that uses an electric organ. anyone know of any or got any recommendations?
Unwound - All Souls Day
Unwound is stupendously rad.
I'm definately not her biggest fan. Not sure, I think it's just that I can't stand noise.
Apocalyptica - Harmageddon
Because cellos rock arse!!
Apocalyptica - Harmageddon
Because cellos rock arse!!
Agreed.
incredibly confusing. Kinda jazz but kinda metal.
Unwound - All Souls Day
Unwound is stupendously rad.

Vanilla Ice - Ninja Rap
GO NINJA GO NINJA GO
The Polyphonic Spree - Get Up And Go
I was feeling kind of half bummed-out a moment ago. Already doing better because of this album.
I was watching an old episode of Homicide: Life on the Street last night. That show always had such great music.
I love that show. They've started airing reruns of the first seasons here late at night and I allways catch it if I'm not too tired.
35007 - 44 05
People are doing fantastic work in the sendspace thread.
The Polyphonic Spree - Get Up And Go
I was feeling kind of half bummed-out a moment ago. Already doing better because of this album.
The Fragile Army has not been released yet and that is not on the EP! Where have you found such a thing?
Now I've got Handsome Fur's Plague Park on. It's taking me a while to get into... it's a pretty withdrawn sound... not nearly as accessable as Wolf Parade. It's interesting anyway and I like the lyrics.
Alcest - Souvenirs d'un Outre Monde
I thiink this whole metal-musicians-who-love-shoegaze thing is getting out of hand.
There is no metal left. All shimmering guitar noise and soft vocals in french.
judas Iscariot - I Filled with Woe the Passing Wind
If there was a prize for pretentous song titles, JI would be in the running to win it.
This Riff fucking kills, I stand by my belief that JI are the greatest American metal band ever...
Big thank you's to whoever posted Superfuzz Bigmuff Plus Early Singles in the Sendspace thread.
Speaking of Metal-Shoegaze, I'm listening to The Angelic Process's The Promise of Snakes. Their album Weighing Souls of Sand is definitely the best album of the year so far. Imagine Jesu, Sigur Ros, Neurosis and thousands of distortion pedals and you're quite close to the sound of this band.
Xasthur- May your Void become as deep as my Hate
not quite sure if that's pretensious or just a really terrible song title though.
Big thank you's to whoever posted Superfuzz Bigmuff Plus Early Singles in the Sendspace thread.
Youre welcomed dude!
Om & Current 93 - Rays Of The Sun/To The Shrinebuilder
the first 4 songs are marvellous. I still have Million Year Summer as song of the year so far. I like how they have become more melodic. Coma Waering only has shades of it and thus becomes a bit boring(to me at least). Sometimes their approach is bit preditable and bothers me a little. I'll listen some more shall I?
Is that any good? Been meaning to get that for some time..
You much of a fan of Sabbat Khar?
I like "History of Time to Come" is a great album. Did martin write their lyrics as well?
Kylesa - Shatter the Clock
kylesa are great live.
Tim Hecker - Blood Rainbow
really good ambient.
I've heard heaps about My Dying Bride. What would be a good album to start on?
I generally can't understand why people don't like CoF
Methinks you're missing the point of Black Metal...Anal Cunt have a song called Living Colour Are My Favorite Black Metal Band
Methinks you're missing the point of Black Metal...
Really? 'cos I enjoy all the black metal I've heard that isn't CoF. What's the point of Black Metal... then?
Methinks you're missing the point of Black Metal...
Failing that, perhaps you're just missing the point of CoF.
Alcest - Tir Nan Og
I am presently listening to rock covers of the Metroid soundtrack.
Guitar solo in Ridley's theme for the win. This shit makes me want to fire missiles at a big fuckin' dragon thing somethin' fierce.
Go Plastic's one of my favourites too... though I think Ultravisitor is probably my favourite. The drumming on Iambic 9 is ace.
I found his new one, Hello Everything, pretty disappointing when I first got it, but it really grows on you.
Japanese psychedelia ftw.
YOUR MUM _ GETTING FUCKIED UP THE ARSE
Death in June - ALL PIGS MUST DIE
Man, I thought All Pigs Must Die was pretty weak. I'm not as vitriolically opposed to it as some reviews I've read, but I definitely wouldn't have it up there with my favourite Di6 tunes (Rose Clouds of Holocaust, Little Black Angel, He's Disabled, Of Runes & Men, C'est Un Reve, She Said Destroy, Christine The Lizard, Symbols of the Sun, Heaven Street). The music lacks a certain bite, and the lyrics a certain depth, to my mind.
Soulwax - E Talking
Occasionally there'll be a horrendously catchy song that'll get stuck in my head. This is one of those songs.
It doesn't help that I can sing along to it as "It's not you it's the cheese talking..."
Looks just like the sun - Broken Social SceneI always thought he said "come in after this". But that makes sense too. Hrmm.
Quote (75% through the song)
"Kevin after this"
^ I don't know why I love that part of the song so much.

Speaking of BSS, am I the only person who absolutely loves 'Feel Good Lost'? I know it's a lot different from all other BSS and I know it's only two people but it's a damn good album. There are some beautiful instrumental pieces on there and I, for one, think it's great.You are not the only one. I love it too, but it's so totally different than the rest of BSS that I almost think of it as another group.
Don't Call me Whitney, Bobby -- Islands
I discovered Islands by reading QC
Iris DeMent: Infamous Angel.
It's cold, wet, and grey outside: country music weather. This album is just beautiful - every note, every lyric, every sentiment on it is so perfectly judged. If you watched Northern Exposure back in the day you might remember the song "Our Town", which featured in the final episode.
Skullflower - Starry Wisdom
Also hey guys, I got the weekend off from the army thing.
The really beautiful, ultra dense ambiance of 'Time Travel of the Sloths parts 1, 2, and 3' by Eluvium off the new Eluvium/Juse 12" split. 20 minutes of Eluvium on vinyl for the first time ever is a very, very good thing.

Envy - Insomniac Doze
ironically recommended to me by my best friend who suffers from insomnia, this album by Japanese hardcore (artcore?) dudes is leaving me too stunned to wipe the epicness off my face.
like a heavier mogwai, screaming and singing in japanese. great.
I'm listening to Electric Wizard's "Dopethrone" straight through for the first time. I'm being flattened. I'm only a third of the way through track 3 and it's steamrolling me.
We Are Broken- Paramore
I'm just amused that the song called "We Are Broken" comes right after the song called "Crushcrushcrush."
[/quote
Dammit! Why is everybody talking about Paramore? Hasn't anybody noticed that they sound like every other shitty emo/pop-punk band that has become popular in the past couple years? And I emphasize the SHITTY aspect of it!
whoa, what was that about?
I'd Like Your Hair Long - Hum
First time I've ever heard the song, but I'm really liking it so far.

You'd Prefer An Astronaut is a beastly album.
Dinosaur Jr.- Beyond, and i'm lovin it more with each listen. Who would've thoghut they could do better than livin all over me? Well they have, this is consistantly great and there is more unity in there sound than ever before, Barlow proves that he really is a part of the Dino jr sound, that is what they've been missin all these years. And Mascis is more impressive than ever, there is more control here, more maturity to his sound. Just a great great great band. I can't believe i missed them when they were here earlier this year.
Emiliana Torrini - Sunny Road
Good for late nights, sitting back. All of "Fisherman's Woman," actually. I love her voice, especially.
Radio LXMBRG
Radio LXMBRG
That makes me homesick.

"Mexico" - Cake
I honestly think this is better than the (entirely different) James Taylor song by the same name. Isn't it funny, though, how songs about Mexico are ALWAYS AWESOME?
*audiorgasm*
it is "listen to the entire discography of Neil Young all week" week.
I just got Iron & Wine's Our Endless Numbered Days, and I am just flipping over Sam's voice! I had no idea it was this clear and pure...amazing. I finished the album and then just started playing it again, and I don't really do that often. I feel a need to get The Shepherd's Dog now...also I hear that The Creek Drank The Cradle is more akin to Numbered Days, except less polished. anybody have any helpful comments to add?
Thanks
I've been listening to Low and nothing else since Sunday. I think I might stop pretending to like other bands.
I've been doing the same. Things We Lost In The Fire is a brilliant album.
Us one in between- Sunset Rubdown
Man I love random spirit lover there something about it composition that makes me chill, but it cant top shut up im dreaming its got more feeling
Also listing to section 9 by Polyphonic spree..... it makes me warm inside even when it cold
After the critical acclaim of their Neon City EP, Pale Ravine is the long awaited full-length realization of Erik Skodvin and Otto Totlands musical ideals. Taking up where Neon City left off with its epic sound collages and textural soundscapes, Pale Ravine manages to provide a sound altogether more Lynchian and grimly cinematic. Using influences from further back in their lives, the two Norwegian musicians have looked deep into their own family histories to piece together a dusty and nostalgic epic.
Inspired by old silent 8mm film reels, the historical architecture around them and the call of the alluring Norwegian landscape, the duo set out armed with microphones to record whatever they could to capture these feelings. Sounds from battered old records, cash registers, broken machines and a half-dead piano were all blended into the mix to add a warm, homely depth to the recordings. These sounds are most evident in the track Loft, where knocks and wooden creaks give an almost claustrophobic feel to the music. Again on The Clearing a subtle field recording gives the track a rich and involving background and helps build up the mysterious aura before launching a skewed 1930s circus-waltz.
One of the most stand-out influences on Pale Ravine is theatre, or at least the romance of all things theatrical. Not so much theatre in all its pretentious excesses, but the childhood apprehensiveness and the sinister undercurrents. From the muffled ticket booth ambience of Lobby to the solemn dance of White Lake it all appears draped in thick billowing velvet. The dense narrative technique the duo employs is almost like a reverse to a silent film the soundtrack is provided to be accompanied by the imaginative visuals of the listener.
Pale Ravine is an album which again manages to blend elements of classical music with electronic music, yet there is something decidedly different which sets it apart from the competition. While there are elements that can be compared with contemporaries such as Max Richter, Marsen Jules or Ryan Teague Deaf Center is altogether more other-worldly, darker and ultimately very rewarding.
Yo La Tengo's "We're An American Band," a fine track from perhaps their best album. It slays the song of the same name by that 70's rock group, whose name escapes me at the moment.
Seriously?
Would you believe, "American Pie"?
Haha, this is a beautiful song with such great melody.
I've been listening to Ratatat's 'Classics' album...
No vocals, just music to dance to when the need strikes. And listening to this album does make the need strike often....
I've also recently been obsessing over Stars' 'In our bedroom after the war' album after going to their show at Seattle's Showbox at the Market the day after my anniversary....
My auditory needs are fickle....
If you know of Ratatat, try some Kenna... but he has more of a hip-hop feel and lyrics to boot...
Of Montreal - "The Past Is a Grotesque Animal"
Seriously, Of Montreal should make more long songs like this one. A lot more. It's awesome.
