Oh, and... I know you've listened to later Bathory, but I doubt you'd like their early, black metal work. Here's something transitional... Spoiler for Full version:
And **** it. Might as well go all the way back and give you a glimpse of the debut.

None required. I'm just not prepared to sit through 31 tracks and make notes for them. Too much hassle.

Title: Seams and Splices
Artiste: Grindy Genre: Taken from: n/a Familiarity: Zero Suggested by: Grindy Expectations: I have no idea. I hope it's good though and I can say good things about it, as some of the music from members here has not been at all to my taste, and it's not nice to have to write negatively about the music of people you know. Seems to be some violin opening, sharp, kind of Paganini style, rolling little drumbeat which is both at odds with and in perfect synch with the music. There's a piano now going a bit wild, but the main instrument seems to be the violin, which is being played very well, even if, as it may be, it's a synthesiser. The music does have that cut-in-cut-out style that I really loathe though (remember James Blake?) but it has a kind of racing quality to it that somehow puts me in mind of “Dave the Butcher” from Waits (shurrup Frown). I also get a sense of those old Tom & Jerry cartoons in some of it, don't ask me why. There's some bass in there too, but it's all a little too fragmented for my taste. Well played though, there's no doubt about that. Now, these Soundcloud things always confuse me because when the tracks end another begins, but there's no detail and the graphic stops moving, so I'm going to assume it's not yours, Grindy? Starts with some sort of harpsichord sound? If yours ended on the uptempo violin then I think I got that right. If not, let me know. Conclusion: Definitely not my thing, but still very good for what it is. The boy's got talent! So, Love or Hate? I certainly didn't hate it, so let's give it some Love.

Title: Exodus Artiste: John Zorn Genre: Avant-garde/Jazz Taken from: The Dreamers, 2008 Familiarity: Zero, though Frown seldom shuts up about Zorn: even recced one of his albums for Metal Month III! Suggested by: Well who do you think? Expectations: It's jazz, so I think I'll hate it and yet I need to be a little open-minded, and a man who can release over half a thousand albums must at some point hit some common ground with the likes of me, so let's be optimistic huh? (Yeah but I'll probably hate it)... Lovely bass intro, then some quite super guitar, doesn't sound very jazzy to me at all. I kind of think I might be listening to a Plankton ... no, no, it's Zorn alright. Sort of feels a little Carlos Santanaesque. Volume has dropped a little ... oh it's back now. Guess that's the problem with live recordings. Yeah, very Santana in fact. I like the kind of mideastern tinge he puts on the music, fits in with the title if it is meant to mean what I think it is. Great organ solo by the guy with the ZZ beard. That's xylophone there at about 5:02, yeah? Really effective. Where is Zorn by the way? That's him conducting, isn't it? Is that Ribot on the guitar? Hell, even the drum solo is great! Love it when the band all come together around 7:11. Conclusion: Well was I ever wrong! That was a blast! Really enjoyed that. So, Love or Hate? This would have to be a Love. Possibility of looking into the album: Probably still only 60%, but that's not bad considering.

It's made from samples, mostly from solo improvised music, cut up note by note and rearranged to form new melodies. That's where he choppiness comes from, although I think of it as a feature, not a bug. The track actually ended with an acoustic guitar, not with violin, the harpsichord thingy doesn't sound like one of mine though. Confusing.

I'd just like to express my frustration with this thread. Trollheart, I think you're too much of a dictator with all your lousy rules. This thread would greatly love a J Dilla review, please just review it. I don't doubt you being a truly good human being, but just ease up slightly. Amiritefellas?
