Dingo Chavez Posted May 15, 2005 The Beatle (white album cover) by The Beatles (1968): The most beautifully diversed album ever made. Revolver by The Beatles (1966): A landmark, that's still considered to be one of the best. Sgt. Pepper Lonely Hearts Club Band by The Beatles (1967): Makes life better. Rubber Soul by The Beatles (1965): Can you feel the beautiful vocal harmony? Abbey Road by The Beatles (1969): The last recorded album from the best band that the world has ever seen and heard (more like a fact than a review). Pink Moon by Nick Drake (1972): There was never such a simple and stunning album. Bryter Layter by Nick Drake (1970): The man was a musical genius. The Velvet Underground and Nico (self titled album) (1967): The most underappreciated album of its time if not of all time, also one of the best. White Light/White Heat by The Velvet Underground (1967): Minimum budget, maximum execution. The Velvet Underground (self titled) (1969): Cale-less but still outstanding. Blonde on Blonde by Bob Dylan (1966): If you didn't like it, then you must be stoned. Just Beyond The River by James Yorkston & The Athletes (2004): There's nothing quite like it (except for their first album). The Doors (self titled) (1967): One of the greatest debut albums from one of the greatest American bands. The Piper At The Gates of Dawn by Pink Floyd (1967): Psychedelic never sounded this good.

Pappa Posted May 16, 2005 Autechre - Cichli (Chiastic Slide) - nine minutes of the perfect mix between abstract and melodic IDM Melt Banana - Scratch or Stitch (MxBx 1998: 13000 miles...) - most mindblowingly awesome opener for a live recording, ever. Idle Thumb's Photo Essays - stunning pieces of art Idle Thumb's artwork - nearly as stunning Samuel Adams Boston Ale - made me like american beer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lazarou Posted July 10, 2005 Meh, why not. Last few games I played or replayed recently: The Longest Journey - April! Swearing! Pure gaming bliss. Full Throttle - Short, but near perfect. Why don't more games have proper soundtracks? Guild Wars - Nippy, accessible, feeless. Not for the short of friends. Call Of Duty - Not bloody WW2 AGAIN, yet surprisingly great.

toblix Posted July 10, 2005 GTA San Andreas - Like GTA Vice City on drugs and alcohol, and bigger too. It never gets boring. Silent Storm - Suffers noticeably from the Polish retard mafia taking over the business halfway through the development. 7 Days a Skeptic Special Edition - Short, sweet, old school. More games should have director's commentaries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoeX111 Posted July 14, 2005 Thief: Deadly Shadows - Good ending, decent story, iffy gameplay, wonky physics, horrid engine. Boiling Point: Road to Hell - Thus far, best beta I've ever played. Vampire: Bloodlines - Looks great, feels like a dozen other games I've played before. Thief 2X: Shadows of the Metal Age - Awesome fan work, but way too easy. Flatout demo - Holy. Freakin. Shit. Pariah demo - Looks pretty. Plays like generic FPS #345635437899. American McGee's Alice - Not as good as I remember....but still fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
