Stuff like Camelback Cinema, Bob's Party Time Lounge, Shake Hands With Beef...
Ahh good stuff. 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. 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. 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. ;) The Upbeats - Werewolf
HEAVY LIKE HELEPHANT. So who was insinuating dance music was fassyhole music again?? Pandora - http://www.pandora.com/
Can you help me discover more music that I'll like? Those questions often evolved into great conversations. Each friend told us their favorite artists and songs, explored the music we suggested, gave us feedback, and we in turn made new suggestions. Everybody started joking that we were now their personal DJs. We created Pandora so that we can have that same kind of conversation with you. To start things off, we'll play a song that exemplifies Local H's hard rock roots, mild rhythmic syncopation, minor key tonality, repetitive melodic phrasing and extensive vamping. LOL. But a cool site. I might subscribe after the free 10 hours expire. Or noise, if you prefer.
Thanks to the increasing bleak and wintery season, I've been getting back into dark amb and related noises. Recent purchases have included: Beneath The Lake - Silent Uprising (Glass Throat Recordings) Biosphere - Autour De La Lune (Touch Records) Ex.Order - War Within Breath (Malignant Records) Herbst9 - Buried Under Time And Sand (Loki Foundation) Kriegsfall-U - Kriefsfall-U (ColdSpring) PH2 - Resource (Dark Vinyl) Profane Grace - Cast In The Mold Of The Ancients (Memento Mori) Out of that lot, my favourites are the throbbing noise of Ex.Order, and the ambient drones of PHD2. Most of them are good though. Also, in a rare outing from the pit, I travelled down to the big city to go to Coldspring's 15th Anniversary party. Quite entertaining seeing some of this stuff live, and an amusing atmosphere ;). Bands were: Kriegsfall-U (good performance of tribal industrial drumming with nihilistic vocals and approach), H.E.R.R. (entertaining and varied performance of stirring military and industrial music), and Von Thronstahl (a bit disappointing, frontman has good stage presence, but too heavy metal compared to their CDs, and sound problems too). Got some more stuff on order as well. The dark amb / noise scene is brain-achingly bewildering at times. But there's some gems to be found I think ;). First, some nearly beatless ambient - I go for the drifting, psychedelic end of the genre more than the creepy dark stuff - though I can agree that Biosphere's an absolute master.
Ishq - Orchid Ishvara - Magik Square of the Sun Brian Eno and Robert Fripp - The Equatorial Stars Delerium - Spheres Pete Namlook and Mixmaster Morris - Dreamfish (on the FAX label, home of more ambient, synth, and dub than l'll ever fully explore) Robert Rich - Below Zero / Calling Down the Sky Maitreya - Telluric Waves Global Communication - 76:14 Ornament - Bleu H.U.V.A. Network - Distances Aphex Twin - Select Ambient Works Vol. II Then, some not-quite-pure-ambient. Trance, dub, and downtempo with heavy ambient stylings: Carbon Based Lifeforms - Hydroponic Garden / The Path (download here: http://carbonbasedlifeforms.net/transfer/CBL_the_path.rar ) Solar Fields - Blue Moon Station / Leaving Home Amorphous Androgynous - Tales of Ephidrina Electric Skychurch - Sonic Diary Future Sound of London - Lifeforms Hesius Dome - Farewell Waltz Mystery of the Yeti compilation Infinity Project - Mystical Experiences Shulman - In Search of a Meaningful Moment Shpongle - Are You Shpongled? Nodens Ictus - Spacelines Saafi Brothers - Mystic Cigarettes / Midnight's Children Spacetime Continuum - Sea Biscuit Gus Till - Electric Oceans Dub Trees - Nature Never Did Betray The Heart That Loved Her That was fun to compile. Propagandhi - Potemkin City Limits
http://www.propagandhi.com Political thrash-punk at it's most anti-American. http://www.g7welcomingcommittee.net/mp3/motorleague.mp3 http://www.g7welcomingcommittee.net/mp3/history.mp3 Jesse Dangerously - Inter Alia http://www.dangerously.ca Fresh and creative hip-hop exists, Halifax's best MC proves it. http://www.dangerously.ca/tracks/jessedangerously-damagedsenses.mp3 http://www.dangerously.ca/tracks/outfoxd.mp3 Nice Grahf, seems like we have almost the same music taste :)
I'll try to add some more great albums to this list later. Meanwhile I can already say that I own and love almost everything from the Ultimae label! http://www.ultimae.com ...are the last bastion of creativity in hip-hop.
MC Frontalot http://www.frontalot.com/ MC Chris http://www.mcchris.com/ Jesse Dangerously http://www.dangerously.ca/ Optimus Rhyme http://www.optimusrhyme.com/ Baddd Spellah http://badddspellah.em411.com/ MC Hawking http://www.mchawking.com/ On the other hand, I do like Tip-Hop by Tipper, which is top notch instrumental hip-hop with some beats so phat they make yo mom look anorexic. W3rd.
An incredible rendition of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" by a dude on a ukelele. About eight million times better than it sounds like it would be. I think I may have shed a tear about halfway through.
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6896725274049507867&q=guitar As a person who had been playing guitar from the age of 6 to the age of 13 I found that video to be OHMYFUCKINGGODAMAZING :o Damn, the hair on my hands and my back rose when listening to that.
Damn you. I just watched it again and it reminded me what a ridiculously stupid teenager I was at the age of 13, dropping out of GUITAR SCHOOL (after 6 years of playing) due to some stupid anti-parent-authority rebellion period I was going throw at the time
Join up again if you feel that strongly about it. It's not too late unless you're dead.
Hi czg, fuck you too man! :) /me waves merrily Son Doobie - Doobie Deluxe (Battle Axe) - phatass hip-hop with a slight gangsta feel. Solid beats and some class tracks.
Rob The Viking - Beats To Pillage And Conquer By (Battle Axe) - instrumentals from various Battle Axe releases, top quality stuff, real dope beats with nice melodies and stuff. Hardcell and Grindvik - Gainlane (Drumcode) - proper banging dancefloor techno for a bit of change, Fric you'll like this. P.S. TipHop is still excellent FFS everyone get it.
