ACCCCCCIIIIIIIIIIIIIID 

(in before voodoochopsticks) 

Fascinated to see what will happen at next years eurovision, this year was the first time I watched with real keen interest, next year will be exciting too :D

HARD ROCK HALLELUJAH! 

I saw yesterday night the results of Eurovision 2006 contest... and what a surprise to see Finland's Black Metal band won the price... Is it the rebirth of Death Metal ? I hope personally !!

ROFLMAO !! 

If you like hard dance, you should own this album already :)

What a brilliant collection this is, ranging from the upfront UK sound to the more bizarre finnish freeform stuff currently doing the rounds, this album is definitely on the crest of current hard dance infuluences. The self titled track takes the album by storm I think with a brilliantly vibrant and dark melody that captivates me to no end, all the other tracks seem to meld into this showpiece that proves that lab4 are still the kings of hard dance music.

Recommended.

ps - I am very drunk 

Which band won?

Finland has been putting out some great Black Metal as of late, most notably Horna. 

The band is named LORDI, and they performed a song titled "Hard Rock Hallejuah" 

the Finnish band that won eurovison?

Now there is a lot of good music coming out of Finland, but that isn't one of them :D 

Just checked out Lordi, pretty amusing. Though when it comes to slightly goofy metal, i still prefer Finntroll.

Good stuff coming out of Finland:

Horna
Behexen
Azaghal
Exordium 

Guess this fits in here:

What is it:
Ethereal, Ambient, Synth-Orchstral, New-Age, Typical Game OST, Evil, Positive. 

Oh yes ! The video is very good... Nice indeed.. And the techno soundtrack is fucking good ! 

Had originally planned to see Ministry, but since i suffer from narcolepsy, needed someone to go with, and make sure i'd stay awake on the 90 minute drive home. Didn't find anyone, so bought albums instead.

Katatonia - Viva Emptiness
Ministry - The Land of Rape and Honey
Ministry - Psalm 69
Satyricon - Now, Diabolical
Shoshtakovich - Best of...
Tidfall - Nucleus 

Just picked these up on Sunday, some very enjoyable laid back & melodic trance with some great vocal work too;

Above & Beyond - Tri-State

A great single cd album, the classic above and beyond light pad work and wide synths mixed with some fantastic vocal work. The album shifts pace quite a bit, a few tracks with a steady beat and then a more ambient laid back track or a vocal soundscape will come in. Very relaxing and enjoyable to listen to.

Gabriel & Dresden

The self titled album from G&D features some excellent vocals and interresting, fresh melodies mixed with that unmistakable G&D "bouncy" beat and rythem. Some of the tracks sound very unique with some interresting synth work that you don't really hear anywhere else. Its a lot less "trancy" than the Above & Beyond album, with the vocals doing the work instead of big wide synths or pads.

Both are recommended if you like Trance with a slightly laid back & relaxing atmosphere. 

I have always been into bands that have a unique, individual sound, these are the ones I like most:

Chrome/Helios Creed: unbelievable droning guitar sound and very strange lyrics dealing with all kinds of strange psycho stuff... (meaningful pause)

Big Black/Shellac/Steve Albini: at first if you hear this you think your speakers are broken or something, it�s that weird, but after some listening it sure grows, Albini was at some time regarded the most prolific "independent" producer, having recorded countless bands, i.e. the final Nirvana lp "In Utero"

God (pathological records label): a collaborational project including england�s finest "alternative" forces at that time, members from SLAB, Godflesh, etc.

Tar: Chicago based group with an unbelievable guitar flow, dirty and beautyful at the same time, house producer was mostly Steve Albini...

Cows: again a very unique sound, "fun punk" seems quite appropriate though not really fitting, some of their stuff seemed to me like a very slow but forceful lava stream :0

Hawkwind: THE psychedelic 70�s band IMO, two guitars complementing each other perfectly, kills Pink Floyd anyday (j/k)

Skullflower: the end of all guitar sounds/drones, minimalistic and forceful, geniuses at work IMO

Swans: it�s more the bass than the guitar, but M. Gira sure knows how to tear shit up no less. 

Thanks for that list. I'm gonna try to have a listen to some of those and maybe snag a few when I have somemore $$. 

The track is "arrakis" from this album : http://www.juno.co.uk/products/138962-02.htm&highlight=black%20sun%20empire

w00t :) 

I have been going through this weird phase of listening to a lot of techno groups from the 90'ies and I can wholeheartedly recommend the album "Dune" from the band of the same name if you are into happy hardcore / eurotrance. Some Wikipedia info on the band here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dune_%28German_band%29

According to my Last.FM page ( http://www.last.fm/user/dnaumov ) I have also been listening to a lot of Placebo, ATB, Depeche Mode, Robert Miles and as always, Nine Inch Nails as of late. 

Dune is great! I would also recommend you give RMB a try. I love their album Widescreen. 

bought a new cd yesterday. Karl Sanders - Saurian Meditation. Very interesting ethno-dark-folk-ambient sound. I laughted a lot when I saw that one track was called The Elder God Shrine. And the author mention the game Quake in the info about this track. 

I picked that up about a year ago off of Relapse's ebay store, good stuff. Excellent to play Diablo2 (act2) with, and Id imagine some Quake as well. Nice variation from the crushing death metal he usually plays with Nile.

Where did he mention Quake? On a website or in the booklet? I had not noticed such.
Elder God Shrine has too many quads anyways ;) 

Here's the album Pulsar is on aboot:

In the booklet. He said that the title had come from the old game Quake.
