This is one of my favorite albums of the year.

Dark Captain Light Captain - Miracle Kicker

My reviews are often filled with snarky references regarding the milquetoast music of modern folk and pop artists, especially those lamewads who are actually able to get their boring, repetitive three-chord ditties onto mainstream radio stations. Yes, I fully realize that corporate labels and radio stations are all about the cash – their job is to put out a music-related product whose primary goal is to maximize the profit margin. I get it; I really do, but I am continually confounded by what they consider to be “good.” If a station wants to play good music in order to attract listeners so that they can attract advertising dollars, shouldn’t they want to locate singers and bands from any and all available strata in order to create and market that great product?

Consider the case of Dark Captain Light Captain and their release Miracle Kicker. The album is a font of glistening guitar plucking, hushed harmonizing vocals, and brisk brushed drumming over a bed of lushly layered keyboard swells. The entire effort swims in a deep ocean of melancholy, but retains a lightness, a buoyancy in the atmosphere that prevents the band and the listener from drowning. What strikes me the most with this record is its pacing and tempos, in that, though the vocals and strings call you, like sensual sirens, to crash and founder upon their beautiful shores, the drumming presses each song steadily onward toward completion. Even if you were to remove the rhythm section to discover a fairly typical folk act, their voices and instrumental arrangements still rich and enchanting.

Is Dark Captain Light Captain not on the radio because they’re not some fresh-faced young solo artist with a winsome smile and quirky lyrics? Or is it because they’re not a bombastic rock outfit with a preening lead singer, soaring guitars, booming bass, and driving drums? I can’t quite figure it out and I’m not sure I’m supposed to do so. The band themselves might not even be worried about it; they might be happy with constant touring to promote the record. Whatever – it is what it is. Maybe I’m the one who’s naïve enough to think that songs like “Jealous Enemies,” “Circles,” and “Speak” would actually find a welcome reception from music-lovers who are radio listeners, replacing poppy schlock like Colby Caillat, Jack Johnson, Jason Mraz, and Sara Bareilles. All of my ranting aside, Miracle Kicker is full of life and replete with a high degree of musicianship; there should be more bands like this one out there helping to redefine how folk and pop really could sound.

William Shatner & Ben Folds - Has Been

Arriving in the fall of 2004, Has Been was released at the height of a Shatner resurgence that those late-'90s Priceline commercials kick started. He had another round of commercials for the company -- this time also starring his longtime comrade Leonard Nimoy -- and a co-starring role in the prime time series Boston Legal, which was a spin-off of the long-running TV drama The Practice, where he had won an Emmy for his guest spot as a sleazy lawyer. Things were breaking in Shatner's favor because he had embraced the overblown, cheerfully smug caricature, playing his persona instead of playing a character. Because of this, it was reasonable to expect that Has Been would be a cheerfully comic record, an album designed to be a comedy album, unlike The Transformed Man, whose humor was unintentional. That's not the album Has Been is. Sure, there's a good dose of humor throughout the record -- not only is Shatner hamming it up, but Ben Folds can never resist a joke -- but that's only one element on an album that's as weird and bewildering as The Transformed Man. In many ways, Has Been is its polar opposite -- there are no baroque arrangements or psychedelic effects, it's grounded in rock & roll and jazzy lounge instrumentals, its message clear, not deliberately cryptic. But the most shocking thing about the album is its sincerity. There's only one cover of a big pop tune, and it's Pulp's "Common People" -- one of the great singles of the 1990s, but a standard only in Europe, and largely unknown in America. While it's played on Has Been with a knowing wink, the song itself is intended to be funny: in Jarvis Cocker's hands, the wit cut like a blade, while Shatner blusters his way through it, but the difference is in delivery -- Shatner knows what the words mean, and he delivers it with an actor's precision. It's funny, but it's sincere, right down to how Folds brings his idol Joe Jackson in to snarl the chorus, so the cover works as a piece of music, not just as a novelty.

FIGHT LIKE APES!



Fight Like Apes - And The Mystery Of The Golden Medallion

Every few years, our little country belches out a band that accurately captures the zeitgeist and epitomises all that is good and healthy about the Irish music scene. More often than not, praise is heaped and hopes are pinned upon these bands, only for the incessant, histrionic build-up to override the substance. But Fight Like Apes are different. Having already received impressive plaudits from UK and Irish press on the back of their two excellent EPs and a handful of limited edition singles, the Dubliners know all about riding the crest of the hype-wave. Certainly, if you've experienced a FLA live show, you'll be aware that they look about as serious as Mary Harney on rollerblades - but what differentiates the synth-rock quartet from their po-faced contemporaries is their ability to coordinate the tawdry, with songs of depth and meaning.

Chief songwriters MayKay and Pockets are a talented duo, that's for sure; basing your predominant sound around synthesisers these days is a risky manoeuvre, but when the songs are as motley and as colourful as these are, it works almost intuitively. Producer John Goodmanson (Death Cab for Cutie, Nada Surf) has harnessed the band's sometimes-chaotic tendencies without blunting their sharp edges - best heard on the re-recorded versions of EP tracks Jake Summers and Battlestations - while live favourite Lend Me Your Face is more melodic and rounded, if perhaps not as instantly forceful as its original.

There's great range here, too; although Fight Like Apes excel at the driving, punky, venomous pop best heard on the sublime Do You Karate? and Digifucker, they're more than capable of mixing it up with melancholic downers like Tie Me Up With Jackets and Lumpy Dough. MayKay's wry, heartbreak-inspired lyrics provide the perfect foil to the sometimes-whimsical soundtrack, too - her voice capable of jumping from skewed lullabies to the wail of a thousand banshees in seconds flat.

More than anything else, though, Fight Like Apes and the Mystery of the Golden Medallion embodies a sense of excitement, and above all, impulsive fun - something that debut albums are rarely plucky enough to exhibit. An absolute thrill, from start to finish.

I found these guys on sordo a while back. Pretty good solid post rock with some nice use of an organ.

They have their ep for free download on the page too.

Misery Signals - Controller



My top album of 2008 and probably the last couple of years. Everything about this album is perfect to me - the guitar work, the drums, the lyrics, the production. It is metal, but I think you could say that this one of those bands that transcends genres. They also rely heavily on clean melodic chords and lots of atmospheric post-rockey sounds saturated throughout. With this album you also have to take into account that the vocalist is used as a compliment to the rest of the music and not just another melodic instrument - most of the time his screams and growls go perfectly with the guitars and still manages to remain decipherable, but there are also other times he does utilize a pretty nice clean voice to go along with some of the more melodic passages. And for any guitar players, this album is filled with so many time signature and chord changes that it is impossible to fully process all of the information in one listen (the same goes for the drummer, who is amazing in his own right).

Listen to this album. You might like/love it. The last two songs that serve as the closer will give you chills. (they use xylophones!)

reading this reminded me of the similarly named Clouds, featuring Adam McGrath (ex-Cave In), who play a strange brew of hardcore punk, Sabbath-esque rock, and a strange sorta psychedelic influence.  Awesome stuff I can assure you.  This is their latest album, "We are Above You" (see what they did there?).  Not my link, but the one I used to download it (prior to actually going and buying it).

Dert Floyd - The Westside Of The Moon

Dert is one of the freshest producers in LA and he works his magic yet again with a free beat tape release featuring 34 exclusive tracks showcasing samples from the Pink Floyd discography titled Dert Floyd - Westside of the Moon. Featuring classic Pink Floyd vocal hooks, guitar samples, and drum breaks Westside of the Moon will have you bobbing your head and leave you hungry for more. Since this is a beat tape release the tracks are short, untitled, and not ready for a full album review, but Dert still serves up straight bangers. Producers like Dert give me hope that hip-hop is still alive and that the current era of glam-rap isn’t here to stay.

The Flaming Lips - Christmas On Mars Soundtrack

It’s somewhat unfair to attempt to treat the soundtrack to the Flaming Lips’ long-in-the-making movie CHRISTMAS ON MARS as something separate from the film itself. Though a standard metric for a quality soundtrack is its ability to stand alone as a purely auditory experience, the psychedelic audaciousness of both the sound and vision of CHRISTMAS ON MARS requires something of a different approach. First things first, there are no songs here. This is a film score, not a collection of “songs from and inspired by.” Each of these dozen tracks are ambient instrumental pieces hitched upon the vaguest of ideas. In keeping with the sublime weirdness of the film, pieces like “In Excelsior Vaginalistic” and “Space Bible with Volume Lumps” are impressionistic and ethereal. Though the Lips have become progressively more entranced by cloudy atmospherics, even the most insubstantial numbers on the group’s recent albums have been anchored by at least some melodic underpinning. That’s not the case here. Instead, this album is more like a collection of all the atmospheric filigree that’s decorated their recent songs … just with all the song bits stripped away.

Psapp - The Camel's Back

PSAPP (pronounced "Sap") are Carim Clasmann and Galia Durant. The band claims to own a veritable junk shop heaven of arcane musical instruments and 'sound emitters' that range from gleaming pianos and instruments and pot-bellied ouds to children's xylophones, dusty retro guitars, farmyard noise-makers, mechanical ashtrays and squeaky rubber poultry. It is this collection of instruments that have led to critics heralding the band as being the pioneers of a new genre - which has been dubbed 'toytronica'. The Camel's Back is the band's fourth studio album, following on from Northdown (2004), Tiger, My Friend (2004) and The Only Thing I Ever Wanted (2006).

Listening to the tracks on this album it's easy to see where the term 'toytronica' is derived from. Several tracks (in particular 'Fix it', 'Mister Ant' and the instrumental tracks 'Marshrat' and 'Homicide') sound like you've walked into the middle of a strange old fashioned toy shop. This wonderful fusion of children's toys and clockwork contraptions is bound to evoke childhood memories - as everyone is bound to recognise at least a couple of the instruments used here. I couldn't help be reminded of the late Kirsty Macoll and The Cardigans - in particular segments of 'Part Like Waves' and 'Screws' sound very Macoll-esque. Likewise the title track 'The Camel's Back' and 'Somewhere There is a Record of our Actions' brought back memories of the Cardigans's Life album. There's a nice mix of both the bizarre and instant hit material. It's pretty easy to spot the tracks that will be released as singles to appeal to the masses. These include, I'd hazard a guess, 'The Monster Song' (which is to be released as a single on 03 November 2008), 'Somewhere There is a Record of our Actions', 'Fix it' and 'Mister Ant'.

There wasn't a single track on the album I didn't like - which is a rarity these days. This is an album that is well worth searching out.

Secret Machines (2008)

If David Lynch were to direct a remake of the Victorian romance Wuthering Heights, he wouldn’t need to commission a soundtrack; Secret Machines have recorded it. “Underneath the Concrete” and the lead single, “Atomic Heels,” reprise the intergalactic acid rock of previous Machines records. But when Benjamin Curtis (brother of frontman Brendan) left last year, he apparently took all the psychedelic vinyl; except for the ill-advised ballad “Now You’re Gone,” the band has turned to the gothic trance of Bauhaus and Nine Inch Nails. On “Have I Run Out,” theatrical kettledrums and tense strings introduce a beautiful sense of dreamy anguish. And “The Walls Are Starting to Crack” showcases the power of their new identity as apocalypse-heralding romantics: As violent electro blips transition into harrowing voices and melodramatic piano, you can almost see Cathy running through the moors to meet, like, Kyle McLaughlin at Peniston Crag.

Ok since John seems to be unable to get off his bottom, I guess I'll have to step up. He was doing the FabricLive series and hoping he'll pick it up sometime, I'll begin to upload the plain ol' Fabric series.

Hells, I got lazy (really, my mp3 player went kaput and my whole musical world came to a screeching halt) and my Fabriclive supply got cut off by the man since the last time I downloaded. I've still got a good 35-36 of the 43 released, the rest will turn up eventually.

I've still got 3 or 4 to upload, I think (update - make that 6 or 7). I'll get on that when I feel like it (update - right now). I've got a few non-Fabriclive related uploads to get to as well.

Cheers for the Fabric, anyhow. I've kept clear of the sorts of electro ensconced in those albums, I might as well take the plunge now.

Here's 22:

Fabriclive 22 - Scratch Perverts

Fierce scratching, U.K. and U.S. hip-hop, and electro-flavored beats all figure into the turntable crew Scratch Perverts' entry into the Fabriclive series. Arguably the most fun disc in the risk-taking series, Fabriclive.22 goes from brash U.K. hip-hopper Skinnyman to introspective rockers Radiohead and ends with five tracks of fierce jungle. It's no small feat that the flow is seamless, but these crafty perverts go that extra mile and drop some of their own remixes into the whole shebang. The Ian Brown number is an official Scratch Perverts excursion, but many of the other tracks get messed up and funked up enough they could be labeled as such. Cuts like the Roots at their most reggae and Dead Prez at their most electro span genres themselves, but everything is inspired rather than clever and concise instead of cluttered. This isn't history in the making, but it's a smart party and you'd have to go bootleg to acquire anything more mashed up and exciting.

Fabriclive 23 - Death in Vegas

A mix CD from Death in Vegas back in the day would have been exciting enough, but since the 2004 album Satan's Circus introduced a much more left-field sound for DIV, 2005's Fabriclive.23 brings a more curious kind of anticipation. Death in Vegas' volume of the tasteful Fabriclive series hints at the Krautrock love of the group's 2004 album, but branches out into atmospheric and sane electro, Detroit techno, and nostalgic acid house sounds. Rather than arcing up, the mix ebbs and flows, repeatedly peaking with grungy beats before settling into trippy sets of tunes that wouldn't be entirely out of place on the Hearts of Space radio program. The Detroit techno of Cybotron and Ectomorph sounds just perfect surrounded by all this futurism, as does Death in Vegas' own Kraftwerk-worshipping "Zugaga," but it's the minimalistic type of techno Alex Smoke creates that's right in the middle of all these tones. Dinky's cheeky "Acid in My Fridge" provides the needed levity at the midpoint while "Jenna" from John Dahlbäck ends the set on a high note. A satisfying mix that's more headphones than dancefloor, Fabriclive.23 is step two in Death in Vegas' thrilling rebirth as a heady mavericks.

Fabric 02, Mixed by Terry Francis





review from Resident Advisor

The Fabric name is quickly associating itself with quality. Be it the club in Farringdon or the CD series that has been pushed by the likes of Craig Richards, James Lavelle and now Terry Francis, it is clear that we should expect nothing less than pure music quality from Fabric. The second installment of the standard Fabric series (not fabriclive) from Terry Francis is a worthy follow up to the very classy opener from Craig Richards.

The Cd builds quite nicely with smooth deep house records such as Outa The Blue's "R Change U" and the brilliant "Doing Shows" by Floppy Sounds. As the cd continues the baselines get chunkier. DJ Buck's "Ode to Mad Marj" as well as the wicked Asad's Silverlining Remix of Dark Male's "Night Life" is testiment to this. Blakkat's "Deeper" and the soulful "My Love" by Harris & Stubbs close the cd off in fashionable style.

Overall, a great mix to listen to. Not hands in the air stuff, but it never tries to be, rather a good mix to listen to at home and relax too.

I am trying to con people into paying me to DJ for them. Everyone here is so glamorous I would like it if anyone would be willing to make & post a mix for me. I have a couple songs & tricks up my sleeves, but haven't money to new music lately.

Thanks if anyone takes me up. Anything is appreciated.

Please guys, mediaf!re only. Everything else isn't even worth the trouble most of the time.

Also, please post some description of the albums you post. Album covers don't tell me much. Myself, I enjoy personal descriptions of albums more than AMG copypasta, but even that is better than nothing.

I figured that since a chain of posts have been made complimenting God Is An Astronaut to very few uploads of them, I figured that I would just post their discography. Was bothering me a bit. As far as I know, two of these have been uploaded before, but it seems like it would be best to have all of them in one place. Missing the single "No Return", which I don't have;

Hey i haven't signed onto these forums in a long time because my computer crashed a year ago and i lost A LOT of music and just never had the energy to get back into rebuilding my collection... but there's one thing I'm fairly certain I got here and I can't find anywhere else... and i hate to come back just to break the no request rule but I can't find this anywhere else.

it's a limited tour album from Buck 65 that I'm pretty certain was called "Live and in Private." I just remember it mostly for the remix of blood of a young wolf but i've really been wanting this album again lately... so if anyone still has it i would love them forever if they reupped it.

Friends in the Mountains - Friends in the Mountains EP

I found these guys on sordo a while back. Pretty good solid post rock with some nice use of an organ. They describe their sound as "a case of the mondays" on their myspace page, thats fair, but not so cynical as Office Space, if thats what they meant. They have their ep for free download on the page too.

mediaf!re is handy. But it also has the problem of only allowing 100 MB files maximum.  For files larger than that Megaupload is a good alternative. However, please don't forget the fact that this is free music that someone has bothered to upload with no reward or compensation. If you find yourself aggravated in any way by their generosity, please feel free to keep it to yourself.

[Oqtober]

Is anyone else getting extremely annoyed by the Mediaf!re ads? It makes me want to punch something.

[imapiratearg]

Yeah, they're pretty obnoxious.  They go away if you're logged in, I think.
