It's cool. 

It's brilliant. 

Not sure if you people know Ugress and Shadow Of The Beat, two projects by Gisle Martens Meyer from Bergen (Norway). He's been producing and releasing music on the internet for years, and it's quite brilliant in my opinion. It ranges from very cinematic, soundtrack-like tracks to excellent dance tunes with great vocals, all very atmospheric.

Anyway, you can listen to his latest albums for free on last.fm:

And here's the latest Shadow Of The Beat album:

Hope some of you enjoy his stuff. 

Big fan of electro-industrial, Dark-elektro and Death-Robot music personally. Fave bands are Allied vision and Front Line Assembly. 

I should commend here the soundtrack to "Ravenous," by Michael Nyman and Damon Albarn. It is unconventional, odd, and extraordinarily effective in capturing a simultaneously sinister and absurd/amusing mood. This movie is a cult classic (I've seen it far too many times) but it would be nothing without this music (which I often listen to by itself). 

TARMVRED 

That song that plays at the end, when they're lieing in the bear-trap, bleeding to death sends shivers up my spine!

Anyone got a link?

I didnt know who it was by though. I've seen it advertised as a CD on the net...

still listening but so far this has the ambling pointlessness of a zip of unfinished .maps. I suspect that's essentially all it is.

I had pretty high hopes this was going to be four more Quake Soundtracks of Awesome. :( 

There are a few nice tracks, but mostly lots of boring stuff unfortunatly. I was hoping for another "Still", but this definetely isn't it. 

...you cant even sit in a bar, smoke, have a drink in a dark corner and look cool anymore.

captures my mood. 

Who would win in a fight, Dr. Octagon or Dr. Funkenstein? Assume no element of suprise.

two punks and a roland, no pretentious rock-star bullshit, sorry. 

Lots of buzz, feedback and distortion. Truly a revelation in music making. 

when you put everything through a million filters there's no information left, it all just sounds the same. It's extremely dull. You have quantization and you have sine waves and that's it.
It usually also doesn't have much inspiration - other music tells of human relations and feelings, nature or history and all kinds of expressions. That isn't as itself necessarily bad, but it sometimes turns out that way.

You need some input to produce some output. Otherwise it's just recycling.

The rhythms in dance music are usually idiotic. And other music of that sort like breakbeat does have changing rhythms but usually doesn't have any melody sot it sucks because of that.

Chip tunes on the other hand don't try to be "atmospheric" by ramping the same buzz sound slightly louder for a minute, but concentrate on the compositions, and they often rock. If you just don't listen to that stuff too much.

Spd's scifi movie music demonstrates the fact very well, it's completely horrible and unatmospheric. Feels like some kids just played with a cheap effects toy. You get humm and buzz and cling, volume ramps and a dulling filter and that's it.

Sorry, tired.

Ricky: that´s the stuff, though don´t like him destroying his guitar, and his vibe IS that of an aging rock-star, still cool though

czg: nice stomper

Btw I get up to 80-90% cpu usage on youtube and sometimes videos lag, any ideas; weird because fullscreen everything is normal ?

The originals sound interesting to me even in the short clips - because they actually are part of some composition versus pure repetition.

But if you view teletubbies as good TV drama then I guess these sampling hacks can be heard as good music. 

 

that can be abused or used to great effect. 

They think they're musicians if they are playing records.
