TheLastBaron Posted April 23, 2014 http://saveusfromthearchon.bandcamp.com/album/thereafter-2 Really good proggy instrumental metal, probably my favorite metal album this year and I really liked the new Animals as Leaders. Not similar at all, this has a lot of light ambient stuff and no heavy 8-string stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

clyde Posted April 27, 2014 So I was reminded of this great set of mixes that I found years ago, and listening to them again made me think of that business video that was used for the kickstarter post cards that I can't seem to find right now. That being said enjoy... BUSINESSFUNK: http://datassette.net/businessfunk/ His non-businessfunk stuff is pretty great too http://datassette.net/ I watched the video. I have no concept of what the motivations for making stuff like this must be. It's got such an intriguing disassociative quality, like when VHS tapes of company-promos from the thrift-store aren't pure enough and you have to fire off some emails for the masters.

ariskany_evan Posted May 2, 2014 Went to a concert of Brahms last night played by the LA Phil. Had the lucky opportunity to sit very close and it sounded beautiful. Sadly it wasn't Brahms at his best. Piano Concerto No. 2 is a bit... lacking. When I'm sitting through lesser works at these kinds of concerts I'm left imagining the kinds of pieces I wish I could hear played in such a monumental setting. Oftentimes I wish they would do more of a playlist style, and cherry-pick movements from larger works that are actually of excellent quality, and get rid of the chuff. So with that! Here's my favorite Charles Ives thing. 1st movement from the Piano Trio (the rest of the piece hasn't really grabbed me). Ever the experimenter, he starts with just the cello and right-hand of the piano. Then the violin and the left-hand of the piano take over. Then he takes those two parts and gels them together. The best part, though, is that it is actually so amazing to listen to. Some experimental compositional technique stuff ends up sounding like the composer came up with a cool idea and then couldn't figure out how to make it "sound" "well". I would argue that Ives falls into that trap fairly often, but when he succeeds it can be sublime: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
