Music Thread.
I thought a trio of themed threads about other entertainment media might be good. If you're not interested, please just ignore the thread and pick some threads that interest you from here: http://celephais.net/board/view_all_threads.php

Anyway, discuss music...

No, no reference either. If it's not too much trouble, is there anyway you could get the clip of it + some before and after talk just so I could see the context in which you were playing it?

I really enjoyed the show and the topic of conversation...and allthough I accepted that it was cut out of the archive that's there, I couldn't help but wonder how my song played into the inegrity debate. 
DVD Project Idea Question 
1. If a new artist, or a familiar artist that maybe you haven't gotten into - released a DVD that in theme essentially was a collection of music videos but with a central focused theme... (basically a DVD album), in surround-sound or not, would you buy it?

2. What if it was a re-release of the original album, but with video content, and you had the original CD? 
Hmmm 
I have The Wall on Cd, but I didn't find the movie to be interesting, so a no in that case.

I have soundtracks to several movies but not the movies themselves. I often find one viewing of a good movie per decade enough so I dont see the point in buying them.

There are of course exceptions to that if the movie has a complex plot like Momento, Blade Runner, Usual Suspects, or Goodfellas or the like where multiple viewings reveal greater detail.

The musicaly oriented film that I most liked was Igmar Bergman's version of The Magic Flute. Don't be put off if it sounds too artsy fartsy, compared to Japanese anime it is not at all pretentious. It is just a simple story with good music and very likeable characters and that is all. 
Phait 
1. Probably not. Especially not if it was "a familiar artist that maybe you haven't gotten into." I'd be more likely to do it for a new artist if I heard/saw some sort of preview and liked it.

2. That depends entirely on the band, album, etc. I own several CDs that I haven't listened to in years. But if it was some album that I'm totally into, then sure. 
 
Music DVDs 
For me, The Wall as an album makes no sense at all without the movie. Mother and Run Like Hell are good enough songs on their own, but the movie adds a sense of progression to it and turns it into a cohesive work. Without it songs like Young Lust come out of left field and make no sense at all.

Interstella 5555 adds a progression to Discovery where I didn't think one was needed. It's a cool movie of course. I think the difference is I associate Pink Floyd with concept albums more than Daft Punk.

I do have a few concert dvds (Pink Floyd, Underworld, Fatboy Slim, DJ Shadow) and documentaries (Scratch), but Chemical Brothers is the only collection of music videos I own. Though I would consider getting The Works Of Michel Gondry. I think this just represents the esteem in which I hold the concerts and music videos of these people. For the average group I like I probably wouldn't want to pay for a collection of their music videos. Also, what I like doesn't get played on Much enough for me to possibly get sick of it. Especially now that Much Music is a 24/7 Pimp My Ride station. 
The Work Of Director * 
That enitre series should definately be viewable, although I've only got the Chris Cunningham one.

Dimebag Darrel Dead? 
I never liked Pantera, but anyway:
http://www.wral.com/news/3983737/detail.html 
Woah... 
Serious shit, sounds nasty.

I was a big Pantera fan some years ago (when Dimebag was still called Diamond, no less).... 
Jesus... 
you just know the gunman is going to be a fan of another band or something. Shame that news story didn't explain what happened very well. It says he shot some people, then a bouncer tackled him. But a policeman turned up a couple of minutes later, and it says he had a hostage??

I guess it was probably complete chaos so we don't really know the details yet. Shocking though; I was never much of a Pantera or Damageplan fan, but if i was i'd appreciate knowing which other band member is dead. 
Ok 
it looks like noone knows which other band member(s) died.

But i just found out this sick fuck decided to shoot Dimebag on the anniversary of John Lennon's murder. 
Up To The HARDCORE 
So, now that (uk)hardcore has climbed out of the filthy hole that was "happy hardcore" and into the "fucking storming hi-nrg acidized fecking awesome" seat it currnetly occupies, I was wondering if anyone else here listens to it? For anyone wanting to check it out may I suggest you have a look around for some of these great artists:

the CLSM
Plus System
Scott Brown
Dougal & Gammer (recent stuff only tho!)
Kevin Energy (Again recent only) 
Sorry Daz. 
But as I said on IRC I'm going back to mid-skool happy hardcore - Bonkers, Force&Styles, and all =). 
Hmm 
http://morecore.net/

hardcore mixes in mp3 format with no fuss downloads, enjoy shambler :) 
The Irony Of Dimebag 
is that the shooter was angry because Pantera is no more. (Apparently he was a hardcore fan)

now the irony was that it wasn't dimebag that chose to break up the band, t'wad their singer. 
This Is A Song About You And I 
Yay 
Blackpope 
Hey !! Jesus does music now (Photo of Devendra Banhart in the top left) ?? 8P

BTW, I'm currently listening to Rammstein latest album titled "Reise Reise", and it's really good german industrial rock, perhaps less powerfull than previous albums, but anyway, it's IMHO good music... for those who like rock.. take a lok at http://www.rammstein.com/ 
Shambler / Von / Anyone 
I'm currently working overtime, but since nobody else is in the office, I can listen to music. I've been listening to various stuff, but right now I'm listening to Ed Rush & Optical (The Creeps.)

Anyway, I was into dnb a bit at uni, and although I haven't listened to much in the past couple of years, I think I might start getting some good dnb cds. Since I know I like Ed Rush, I just pre-ordered Out of the Box from Amazon (the bonus dvd sounded like it might be really cool.)

Are there any other good dnb cds that you think I might like? 
Than 
panacea shares needles with tarmvred 
Than 
well i'm not into dnb these times, but i can name some of the cds i still listen to:

Movement- Perpetual DNB Motion (And other from Movement)
Andy C - Ram Raiders in the mix (and other cds from Ram Records)
Anything from True Playaz
Dillinja - Cybotron
Torque (true oldskool darkness)

And of course Panacea, albums like:
Disorder - 2nd Gen
German Engineering
Underground Superstardom
Panacea/Cativo - The Hardest tour 
I Mainly Listen To Hardcore Death Metal Bands Such As 
Andrea True Connection
Burt Bacharach
The Carpenters
Perry Como
Cilla Black
Connie Francis
The Ronettes

and of coursse, the hardest, most controversial motherfucker to ever come out of Jacksonville -- Pat Boone 
Right. 
1. Ignore blackpope, there is some good DNB on the Panacea shares thing but only a couple of tracks.

2. Mostly ignore Vondur as he is outdated, good suggestion for the time but mostly inapplicable.

3. Cancel your Ed Rush & Optical order unless you want a CD full off cheesey clownstep with wobbly basslines. However that is representative of ONE current DnB style....so...

4. Instead:

General DnB over the last few years:

Andy C - Nightlife (Ram)
Andy C - Nightlife2 (Ram)

--- both good for a varied selection of mostly energetic stuff.

(Also try: Both of the Ram Raiders Mix CDs)

Hard DnB recently:

Various - Biological Warfare (Outbreak Recs) --- generally good and raucous mix CD
Black Sun Empire - Driving Insane (BSE) --- two CDs of harder, trancier stuff, 2nd half of 2nd CD is best DnB evar.
Dom & Roland - Chronology (Moving Shadow) --- atmospheric / industrial DnB, well produced.

(Also try: Any of the recent albums on Renegade Hardware e.g. Four Elements, Paranoia, School Of Hard Knocks)

Dancefloor / jump up / clownstep:

Don't have much of this. The ER&O CD might be suitable. But also try:

3D Mode Presents: Under The Counter (DJ Hazard mix) --- energetic & raucous.
Futurebound presents: The New Generation (Infrared) --- errrr, ditto, plus the first track will blow your bollox off.

(Also, the new DJ Die album will probably be good in that style).

Mellow / atmospheric DnB:

Not really into this but there's a lot of the "liquid funk" style around at the moment. Stuff like Calibre, High Contrast, Hospital Records etc. I kinda like:

Klute - Lie Cheat and Steal --- more atmospheric and less howling vocals.

...that should do for the moment. I just need to add: "w3rd". 
P.S. Shambler Has Mostly Been Listening To: 
DNB:

Shere Khan - Age (Petrol)
Omni Trio - Rogue Satellite (???)
3D Mode Presents: Under The Counter (3D Mode)

Hardcore:

Bonkers 2 (React)
Bonkers 10 (React)
Hixxy's Exclusive John Peel Mix (React)

Gabber:

DJ Producer - Interpretations (Rebel Scum)

Techno:

Richie Hawtin - Decks, EFX & 909 (???)
Richie Hawtin - DE9: Closer To The Edit (???)

Other:

Von Thronstahl - Imperium Internum (Coldspring)
VA - Chamber (Coldspring)


...w3rd =)
