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...

Rouge~fire Demo 
Something I did recently.. beat and electric-piano was from some older demo experiment stuff I never used, so recently I sat with it and it kinda came together.

5 year old kid doing vocals for some band
its... strange. though some people dont believe its real... however i have no problem accepting its occurance, ive heard worse tantrums. 
"playing God" 
Here's another rouge~fire demo.... it's kinda out there I mean... not my typical kind of arrangement. It's kind of an ironic song, given the title you'd think this might be hard rock, but it's not.

Shambler, I have some hardcore country-western you might be interested it.

Also, I bet that last line contained "hardcore" somewhere in there too, but it was blocked by Func's line limit. 
NIN - With Teeth 
No mention of NIN's "With Teeth" in this thread yet? Since the album has been out for a few weeks now, I figured someone would've posted about it by now.

Anyway, this is a very decent album. Not ground-breaking, but definately good. It may take a couple of run-throughs to "get it" and for the album to start growing on you. My favourite tracks are "All the Love in the World", "With Teeth" and "Right Where It Belongs".

I am looking forward to seeing NIN perform at the Provinssirock festival in Finland next month. 
Bleh 
I listened to it, and didn't want to get it. The Downward Spiral is my fav but Fragile was good in it's own right too. 
Aphex Twin 
is the rockzors. very different from what i listen to normally, but still extremly nice.

fenixfunc 5 & schottkey 7th path.. 
Freefall 
...The new(ish) album from Nu-nrg, the trance legends. If you like trance you've probably got this already... but if not, go get it now! Superb stuff all round. 
Hmm 
You probably know the demoscene?
There was this quite famous finnish
group way back called the future crew.
They made some quite nice pc demos.
Many of the guys then formed the game
company Remedy.

This is the original soundtrack for their
epic megademo "Unreal".

You need a plugin for winamp/whatever you use,
BASS module is good.

From 1993 or something... It's good, a bit uneven maybe for working background music.
If you're interested, you can check http://scene.org for all kinds of things from the demoscene. An example could be a 64kb minutes long 3d intro with scenery and everything... 
With Teeth 
at first i thought it sucked. but then i just gave it a few more spins and well, it's a good pop/rock album, nothing wrong here, as nin always were sorta electronic rock band. or whatever. only bad thing about with teeth is the vocals. and some lyrics. and reznor is at it again - creating several version of it, like, vinyl version having additional track. not that it's very good but still. anyways, the people in japan get the release with some neat bonuses, one of which is the alternate version of one of the best songs on with teeth - right where it belongs.

for the last couple of months i've been listening to various stuff from ministry, revolting cocks, and for some reason, zz top. 
DHR Anyone? 
panic dhh is what kicks my ass most at the moment. noise and pure energy. seeing them live was a unique experience. :)
unfortunately i missed the ambassador 21 gig (comparable to atari teenage riot, but better) last year, which could have been a similar one. the live recordings do not deliver their power very well, because the bass drums are hardly audible sometimes (like so often with 'non-professional' live recordings), but you might want to check it out nevertheless, along with the rest of the dtrash caralogue: http://www.dtrashrecords.com
another trashy nice band from this label is schizoid, kind of grindcore influenced. my favortite is "covered in metal"... 
DHR? 
Really liked their early breakcore stuff - Harder Than The Rest compilation, Sonic Subjunkies, Christoph De Babalon, early Alec Empire. C de B's "My Confession" ranks highly as one of the darkest and most atmospheric jungle tracks ever. But as they tended more into punky stuff, I lost interest... 
As A Service To Everyone 
From here until eternity, there should be no one who ever uses the word "herein" in the context of a rock band due to the similar spelling of the word "heroin." 
Yo 
Been listening a lot to some anime stuff - Wind from Naruto and the closing theme from Samurai Champloo are my absolute favorites so far. Absolutely fantastic shit, also groovin to various Bebop tracks, lookin for more, but those are the best I've found so far. 
Soul Mining 
Lately I've been really into "The The - Soul Mining"

It's just a great, overlooked alt/indie pop album from the 80s. The title as you might imagine, deals with soul searching and digging up the things you like and dislike about yourself. This is just about one of the most thoughtful and intricate pop albums ever made, and if you want to see where Trent Reznor picked up a few tricks, check this out.

(Reznor signed The The to his label, so the influence is even more obvious)

Sonically, it's really something. There's a lot of great synth work, but almost every song is peppered with some kind of chromatic percussion and energetic drum beat, so the complex lyrical content becomes more easily digestible.

Check out this album if you have an open mind for something odd but ultimately extremely rewarding. 
Reminds Me, 
I found The Cure's Wishes in an old case last weekend. I haven't listened to them in years, and I have to say, it stands the test of time very well, accept for 'Let's Get Happy.' 
The Cure 
Good stuff. But Robert isn't 25 anymore, he needs to lose his look. 
Deep. 
Trentem�ller - Polar Shift (Poker Flat Records)

Propa. 
Primus - Brown Album 
Stuff like Camelback Cinema, Bob's Party Time Lounge, Shake Hands With Beef...

Ahh good stuff. 
Drum'n'bass Mixes 
there are lots of it. and most of them are good, but also not really outstanding mostly.
i found the mixes by cativo, dunkelbunt and mookee to be quite unique and fresh in a way. plus they're suited for mapping AND playing alike.
you'll probably see what i mean if you check them out. 
Drum'n'bass CDs 
Blame - 720 Revolutions (720 Records)

YOU NEED THIS IN YOUR LIFE. I got it for the shocking bargain price of �1 / E1.5 / $2 and it's the best DnB album I've got for quite a while, just top quality high energy no bullshit DnB tunage. W3rd. 
To Balance Out This Thread 
I know there's at least a couple of heterosexual real music listening mappers so here goes:

Gardenian - Soulburner (2000)

Yeah it's gothenburg-metal but it's a bit on the aggressive side and the melodies are full and the rhythms just right in many songs. A few pieces have cheesy clean vocals. Although they are really well sung (on one take!), they could have made the lyrics with a bit more style in those songs. The third track, Deserted, just moves your guts.

Gardenian is really good working music since the words are mumbled/growled so they don't disturb but you get a really good rhythm and furious feeling.
;) 
Umm 
i meant to say the third track is good, not that it makes you want to vomit. :)
