Yeah, Godflesh is perfect mapping music - I listen to Pure and Streetcleaner a lot while mapping.

Ionous - My Dying Bride is one of my favourite bands. You should definately check out Songs of Darkness, Words of Light. IMO it's their best work yet.

Anyone else here listen to stuff like Sins of Thy Beloved (Lake of Sorrow) or Theatre of Tragedy (Velvet Darkness, Aegis)? 

I had meant to check out more of their discography, but mainly trafficing in the VAST Black Metal underground, you sometimes forget to check out material outside the genre. So, yeah, procuring SoD,WoL has just moved to the top of the list. 

I don't remember if I already spoke about Rammstein band here. Anyway, they are from Germany and play gothic metal/hard rock that is very good IMHO. They "sing" in german most of the time, even there are some titles in english and spanish. BTW german lyrics give a "special" rythmic effects to the songs.
They sorted 5 albums titled respectively

- "Herzeleid"
- "Sehnsucht"
- "Mutter"
- "Reise, Reise"
- "Rosenrot".

The last 2 ones are so far the best of the fifth, and I really recommended them.

BTW they got many awards last year for their work:
In the MTV - Hit or Shit annual statement 2005, which was decided by voting, Rammstein came in on number one in three categories (Best Song - Benzin, Best Album - Rosenrot), in the category Best Video Rammstein even came in on all the three first positions (1st Rosenrot, 2nd Keine Lust, 3rd Benzin).

I really encourage you guys to listen or discover this band if you don't know them ! It's up to you.. ;P 

I have the first three Rammstein albums, of which i like Sehnsucht the best.

In terms of pure German metal, Bethlehem definetly provides an interest level on par with Rammstein, especially their "Schatten Aus Alexander Veldt" album. 

You should buy "Mutter", "Reise, Reise" and "Rosenrot".. They are better than "Sehnsucht" album... believe me ;)

BT, I don't know Bethlehem band... I mean I don't know their music: I've heard their name, but for the rest... I'm unkowledgeable... sorry... 

no offence and thx to others for not taking my drunken rant about GF too seriously, but rammstein are just a poor rip-off of the great industrial rock band called MINISTRY, listen to the Psalm69 album. (i�m german btw) 

Tyrann: Godflesh being perfect mapping music ?

lol ;) I always go berserk to their stuff, how can you sit still and even map ?? 

Lately I have been listening to mostly:

A lot of various electronica albums I got off bleep.com. (Elektronische Musik - Interkontinental 3, Advanced Public Listening 1, Advisory Circle - Mind How You Go)

The Rephlex remix album of the Manhunt soundtrack.

A whole fucking lot of Autechre and Gescom.
Especially Untilted and Keynell EP, but I also downloaded this huge .rar of all remixes done in the name of Autechre and Gescom, and there are a lot of sexcellent tracks there.

The Knife - A swedish band that makes pretty synth/elektro/vocal music.

Pulp.

The odd bit of noise here and there. Vondur sent me some Brighter Death Now which I need to get more of.

The Rez soundtrack, both original and official.

The Streets, which is surprising I guess.

PLEASE. The Rhythms are sooo simple. The Lyrics are very lyrical though, which is a nice thing. Not much meaning, but they sound great. Also the america song is hilarious. 

yeah, looking forward to hearing their new album when I get home, their previous one wa mostly good. 

because the music thread was there

Just ask Von. 

That changes everything...

i'm searching for nice, calm ambient music; for sleeping/resting, but also for background noise during work hours.

ATM i'm listening to afx (selected ambients mostly) and apparat.

Any ideas? (links'd be great!) 

I've always liked the Fresh Aire series by Mannheim Steamroller. Andreas Vollenweider is nice too, for some calming stuff. I'm especially fond of his "Dancing With The Lion" disc. If you like flamenco guitar, Ottmar Liebert kicks much ass. You can easily find all of these (plus samples to listen to) on Amazon with a search. 

Brian Eno's ambient series and also Music for Airports and Thursday Afternoon.

Vondur can probably recommend shitloads of dark ambient if that's your cup of tea. Lustmord and R A A N and whatever the fuck.

Biosphere is supposedly good tho I don't like it much myself... 

thanks ill look into those. 

If you want to relax, he is the king :)

"far away trains passing by" and "A strangely isolated place" are the albums of his that I own, and both pwn. 

Adham Shaikh - Journey To The Sun
Ishq
Everything by www.ultimae.com
Global Communication - 76 14 (a classic!)
Steve Roach
the mixes by stef: music.quaddicted.com/mixes (www.trance4ever.com)
Aural Planet - Lightflow
Shulman
The Mystery Of The Yeti 1+2
Solar Quest
The Infinity Project
Toir�s
Amaurvision
Makyo
Human Blue
Vir Unis (uhm, not soo good imho)

Most of this is psyambient. Tell me more about your taste and I will try to recommend more. 

If you like them give the "Farmer Boys" from southern Germany a try. Maybe you can find their fantastic "The World Is Ours" album. 

Hey guys, I am looking for a station similar to SomaFM's "cliq-hop" station, which plays IDM all day long at 128kbps. However, they do tend to repeat stuff a lot, which is why I am looking for a similar station that maybe has a little more variety.

I haven't had a chance to burn stuff to bring into work so I need a temporary fix.

czg, pope, I am looking squarely at you guys o_o

You shouldn't be getting any sort of messages from my Comcast mail because the account is still active and paid for :|

In the meantime if that isn't working for you, I regularly check [b]lolleyballz AT gmail dot com[/b]

I'll try and get on IRC at some point to talk to you, I've just been working long almost everyday to get up to speed (I'm at work now), and haven't even had time to unpack and setup my stuff :(

Anyway thanks dude and I will talk to you soon hopefully
