James Posted June 13, 2009 That is such a cheeky drum solo! Amazing, too, but his demeanour is so uplifting. And check that posture! Apparently he was a nightmare to work with, which is hard to reconcile with how happy he looks all the time, but I guess that's the way things go with these creative types. At least he looked like he had a good time when he was playing. I've not heard anything else quite like christ, you can kind of tell he's one half of Boards of Canada. I thought he was one ex-third. múm I have a couple of their albums, and they are, indeed, excellent. The rest is all new to me, however, and I'll be sure to check it out. Sometime after getting out of bed. Including the days that follow it. So at some point in the infinite future. Anyway, thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
n0wak Posted June 15, 2009 Biosphere are ambient and more proggy than most, Translation is a good start if you can find it anywhere. It's hypnotic and meditative, similar to Cliff Martinez' Solaris soundtrack. Biosphere is good stuff. Personally, I like Cirque a lot. Also, his collaboration with Deathprod, which is pretty much full on ambient, is pretty great too. Speaking of ambient (and Tim Hecker), there's a new Alva Noto + Ryuichi Sakamoto collab out. --- More techno/beat-driven is the new Few Nolder album. Dig it quite a lot, especially the 11 minute final track. http://www.planet-mu.com/artists/fewnolder I've been digging these long 11+ minute tracks lately. "The Field" and last year's "Lindstrom" come to mind. Great for boring commutes. Also been listening to a lot of Kap Bambino, and some Futurecop and autoKratz and the new Kitsune Maison compilation. I feel so electroclash hipster Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James Posted June 15, 2009 Oh, I didn't spot that you mentioned the Solaris soundtrack, Nachimir. I downloaded that on a friend's recommendation, and I really like it. It doesn't completely transcend its original intent -- it is at times apparent that it's meant to be an accompaniment and doesn't quite work as an album in its own right -- but I think there are some great ideas in there. Well, specifically, one great idea: using steel drums as a moody textural ... thing. (I'm not good at talking about things critically.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thyroid Posted June 18, 2009 So I'm sure there's at least one other Stone Roses fan here. I've been listening to their debut album since April, and nothing else (well, besides Portishead's Third). Brilliant album. Shame this decade didn't give out something this innovative. jKDPv3ZLDjI Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OssK Posted June 18, 2009 Thanks Krom, it was a pretty great song ! And now for something just a little different (you can skip to 0:58 where the song starts) iiD0d2IqO5o I love Paco Ibañez with a lot of loving love. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wrestlevania Posted June 26, 2009 This afternoon, I've been introduced to the funky chunky monkies that are Modeselektor. For anyone who likes Aphex Twin, Trentemoller or similar "glitch" practitioners, these two are fucking ace. PpI5QGnQcQw Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thyroid Posted June 27, 2009 Some good songs: Gnw4VfZwNWc MJTvqVazNGs qtgPhOjsoSc And, in dedication to Brutal Legend, a heavy metal song you might have never heard before (video sort of NSFW): T09hBGGpSjk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miffy495 Posted June 27, 2009 Good on you for Blonde Redhead. Love those guys. At Zomboid's recommendation, I've been listening to Wavves and I think I really like them. The trick is in listening to the music while trying to ignore their painfully stupid song titles. Also just picked up the newest albums from Sonic Youth and Dinosaur Jr. Haven't had a chance to listen to Dinosaur Jr yet, but the new SY is great. Sounds quite a bit like Rather Ripped, if you're looking for a point of reference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thyroid Posted June 27, 2009 Sounds quite a bit like Rather Ripped, if you're looking for a point of reference. Everyone's been saying it's more of a "here's everything we've ever learned", with Daydream Nation as a jumping point...Some sort of combination between DN and RR would be excellent, actually...

James Posted June 28, 2009 Modeselektor Somebody once recommended a bunch of bands for me to investigate, of which they were one, and I did, and I enjoyed them, but have completely failed to get anything more. I'd kind of forgotten about them, but I'll keep them in mind when I finally get around to buying a load of stuff. On the subject of Blonde Redhead: oUPBj6yso3g And now, remixed by The Third Eye Foundation: Yp3580zvtXg That's pretty much the extent of my knowledge of the band, but it's pretty great.

MrHoatzin Posted July 10, 2009 So how was the Explosions in the Sky concert? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zomboid Posted July 10, 2009 It was kind of amazing. My wife and I had been drinking all day (being the 4th of July and all) so we kinda got pretty misty/choked-up a few times. Those guys are 100% genuine and sincere. They really impressed upon me how much they fucking mean it. They sounded really really great. We couldn't see the fireworks from where we were in relation to downtown - but it didn't matter. Easily my favorite band in existence, and this lived up to some pretty high expectations.

miffy495 Posted July 19, 2009 Yeah, I noticed that came out this week. I liked the single quite a bit, but it wasn't the first thing I wanted to buy at work. Jack White is almost always win though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cheetohands Posted July 21, 2009 Today I bought a used copy of Living Colour's "Time's Up" CD for ninety-seven cents! Released in 1990, this is their second studio album which contained "Type", "Elvis Is Dead", "Solace of You" and "Love Rears Its Ugly Head" just to name a few.

Wrestlevania Posted July 21, 2009 Have just finally gotten around to listening to Sasha's Airdrawndagger*. Apart from a couple of stand-out tracks (Cloud Cuckoo*, Bloodlock*) it's quite mundane, which leaves me wondering why people ever described it as "seminal". * Spotify Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jneeriem Posted July 22, 2009 I recommend a disbanded DC area band called The Dismemberment Plan. Funny and good. Their lead vocalist went on to do a solo record that sorta kept up the funny stuff and is also worth checking out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RobTheReverend Posted July 22, 2009 (edited) Every now and again I'll go back and "rediscover" something in my collection. Recently it's been Alec Empire vs. Merzbow circa 1998 http://www.amazon.com/Live-CBGBs-1998-Empire-Merzbow/dp/B00009PBHQ http://www.rhapsody.com/alec-empire/alec-empire-vs-merzbow-live http://www.imeem.com/tag/?q=artist:ALEC%20EMPIRE%20vs.%20MERZBOW&f=music If you don't like Alec Empire or Merzbow then you probably wont like it, but if you do then it's pretty epic. The Destroyer and Merzbow is a good one to start with. --- A "math rock" band. Genres are garbage but Hella is a pretty good band. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hella_%28band%29 Their early stuff is good. Here's a playlist for the album "Hold Your Horse Is". http://www.rhapsody.com/hella/hold-your-horse-is 1-800-ghost-dance is the track I'd start with if I had to start somewhere.

Patters Posted July 22, 2009 Recently I have been listening to The New Animal collective album as well as Amon Tobin (did the Splinter Cell 3 soundtrack, Infamous as well as many others) for a couple of other bands that are closer to my taste The Morning After and InMe. First to are electronic, the other two are rock. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
