thought to bring this thread up again.
I'm listening to shades of god. Shame this band became pop then later. Well, I guess that happens to every band. Hard to sustain your style or aspect for ten years and not become repetitive. So they turn to pop. Or maybe it's a financial necessity. I can't understand average people, are their feelings and experiences described by such horrible plastic what you see on MTV? I guess I'm a purist and like this raw touch here. The vocalist is really good. Although the music is a bit brutal at times. if you're into Mike Patton's Mr. Bungle you should really try Dog Fashion Disco with their latest effort, Adultery.
it's one of the best records so far for this year. http://www.lab4.com
Its official, the best hard dance live act of the last decade will end on NYE this year :( Sad, sad, sad news Been listening to a lot of breakbeat recently I thought some of you might be interested, its pretty cool stuff ranging from electro tinged retro sounds to more of a rough, dirty drum n bass approach and its just really fun to listen to as well. Check out some of these artists :
Autobots D-Ranged Screwface Ctrl-Z Scam Freestylers Bomberman Strider http://breakbeatonline.co.uk/ http://www.nuskoolbreaks.co.uk/ Some personal favourites you might want to check out... Scam - Killer Scam - Acid Love Screwface - Army of darkness Freestylers - Warrior Charge (Breakfastaz Remix) Freestylers - Jump N Twist D-Ranged - Get Shift (Far Too Loud Remix) Rektchordz - Bass Pressure (Wavewhore Remix) Happy listening :D What is happier music than Eurodance?
I don't know. But sometimes I really like Eurodance. So here are three nice mixsets I found in the di.fm forums: Screamboy - The Classic Eurodance Scream 1-3 http://www.megaupload.com/?d=DLP8LHNT http://www.megaupload.com/?d=N2RJASWR http://www.megaupload.com/?d=23JBBEUR And for the calm moments I started a small blog (yuck) where I am posting free Ambient stuff as reminder about it for myself and sharing with others. :) http://ambientic.wordpress.com/ I'm a really big Alice in Chains fan. It seems to be the one band that combines every element or attribute of music that interests me into one sweet style of awesomeness. So I felt like posting here, the fact that quite some time ago I ran into a cd which was a side project by the late lead singer Layne Staley.
The band, called Mad Season, was short lived (just one 10 song album and a short tour). This album though, has become one of my favourite albums. While I love Alice in Chains for the heavy metal bashing and smashing, Mad Season is a lot slower and more thoughtful music. There's things that even someone who gets past all the grunge/alt-metal cliches will be surprised by (blues, for one). Although this is basically a cult following type cd today, it's really good and listening to it now really drives home just how incredibly far rock music has strayed from anything resembling sincere personal expression and artistry in the twelve years since its release. The slow, quiet single "River of Deciet" is on youtube. this is not an official video, but suits this song really well, and it is one of the albums best songs:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRma4GSpzkc The CD is on my regular circulation and is one of my favorites; it definitely strays from HM cliches and avoids the mannered approach that makes Fusion unlistenable (the bassist is a Jazz player). They staked out a territory that is quite unique with that album.

/me sheds a tear AIC has long been one of my fav's and inspirations.
Checkout Would? live but it's with their tour singer, not Layne: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnpbGisUZko http://doom.ocremix.org/
Covers/remixes of Doom I music put together by people from the OC Remix scene. Yeah I've had that album for a while too, good stuff, was happy to hear Layne Staley once again when I found it a few years back.
Love him or hate. He's doing some kind of drum'n'bass, somethingstep, electro stuff. You can download great mixes from http://www.john-b.com/ (audio).
but his older stuff was much better, check out his Album - "In transit" from 2002-3-4 cant remember :) Pure class!
Yeah, I have that one. I got known of John B by the "russian version" of his American Girls on Russian Drum & Bass Vol 01 ( http://www.discogs.com/release/843552 ). I really want to buy that CD but all I can find are torrentsites or mp3 shops. :(
This track is from Russian Drum & Bass Vol 01 too, http://electrokids.org/mp3/4cus/4cus-prekrasnoe_daleko.mp3 "Older"?? You kids crack me up. Get back to the Catalyst / Redox era, that's the shit you need.
Good guy though, don't rate everything he's doing these days, but I respect his blending of styles and his production has always been top notch. You guys need to find this track:
The Bezerker - Final Sacrifice (for some reason I am almost addicted to listening to it) I finally finished my deep space ambient mix.
http://spirit.enjoys.it/sleepdrive/ Happy traveling. :) I found some vids of him playing guitar (along with his brother Bobby, who is an amazing drummer) whilst looking on Youtube a while ago and decided to have a listen to some of his music. You can find plenty of sample tracks on his website www.ronjarzombek.com
His band, Spastic Ink recorded a song that matches up to a scene in Bambi, which is quite interesting and can be found on Youtube. Anyway, it looks like he is about to release a new album soon, and there are samples of 5 tracks on his website. He is also a guitar teacher... If anyone is attracted to warm and beautiful Ambient or Classic, go check out Olafur Arnalds - Eulogy for Evolution. It's wonderful. He is a death metal guy, but somehow does Classic too.
http://www.myspace.com/olafurarnalds (not so good tracks) I found this while googling, maybe it's the album :o http://www.mediafire.com/?5jumzcmzy3y Buy it here: https://ssl.webpack.de/imperialclothing.de/shop/product_info.php?cPath=236_260&products_id=4054&osCsid=e5abfc7eb0bd1bf8e257d17efc86b1b1 Sweet - 'pon the dl for both of those.
Recently I have been listening to (deep breath): Merzbow, Swollen Members, Juice Blender records comp, Drokz & Tafkat, Hospital records comp, Calyx, Raison D'Etre, Herbst 9, Baphomet, Therapy?, The God Machine, Hixxy, Sharkey, LSG, and Billy Nasty. <insert moshing badger smiley here>
