Just played this and wrote a review, FYI.

Love it. Better then The Stage Names, and that's saying something.

My Bloody Valentine - Isn't Anything

Finally starting to "get" these guys, the considerable influence they had on 'indie' music as we know it today is astounding. Especially in the guitar department.

Cruachan "Pagan"

Celtic metal? We'll see how this goes down. Already digging the instrumentals.

"Mer De Noms" by A Perfect Circle"

http://allmusic.galeon.com/caratulas...ms_-_front.jpg

Been meaning to get this for a whilleee now.... but never did for whatever reason.

Amazing album though.

Mer De Noms.... such a darn fine album...... I quite love it myself!

I already had Mezzanine.

Shouldn't have bothered with the 2nd two.

Massive Attack in name only.

What do you think of their latest one, Heligoland (2010) ?
Purchasable?

last CDs i bought were at an Atmosphere show. i bought 4 of their EPs for $5 each.

last album i downloaded was Richy Nix - Hell City

Not heard it yet to be honest.
I kind of lost interest in them when the original line up fell apart and wasn't too keen on the direction they were taking. I preferred them when they were doing kind of laid back hip hop rather than them sounding like some faceless electronica band.

If you've not heard it yet you really should check out Tricky's Maxinquaye album.

That's what I was listening to while downloading the album :p: . I was going to ask for some suggestions as I only have that one by Tricky. What shall I get next?

I'm assuming the album you're listening to is Maxinquaye in which case the next step is to grab the 1996 follow-up Nearly God.

Thx. Downloading...
:beer:

Hey man, you still got the link for this one? If so, swing this way please. I have a link but looks a little suspect at the moment.

Cheers

Sent.

Autolux - Future Perfect

It has the drummer from the '90's alt. rock band Failure that I recently discovered so I decided to give it a try. I've heard conflicting opinions on it, one side saying if you liked Failure you'll like Autolux, and others saying that it's watered-down post-grunge crap.

Future Perfect is incredible, one of my top 10 albums of the 00's. It was released here in 2005 and 5 years later i'm still itching for their second album to be released. Watered-down post-grunge crap?? Not a hint of it! They're more in debt to late 80's/early 90's shoegaze than grunge (call them nu-gaze if you must). But every song on Future Perfect is amazing and the album has a really consistent feel to it.

Yeah that's not post-grunge. At all.

Max Richter - Blue Notebooks. From the few songs I heard off the album, I'm sure I'll love it.

Arms & Sleepers - Matador

http://i392.photobucket.com/albums/p...ominations.jpg

Those Poor Bastards - Abominations

http://i392.photobucket.com/albums/p...1263006320.jpg

Ripperton - Niwa

Babe Rainbow - Shaved EP
New Warp Records signing, this just came out. It's decent, nothing really special.

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...500_AA280_.jpg

Rishloo - Feathergun
Despite my mostly negative review of their previous album yesterday, I'm still curious about how they'll progress from that album so I'm going to give this one a shot.

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...500_AA280_.jpg

The Pharcyde - Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde
I've had this a long time already but my CD is scratched to hell which created a bad rip so I just downloaded some fresh mp3s.

http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/image....L._AA280_.jpg

Autechre - Quaristice.Quadrange.ep.ae
Digital-only release of alternate versions of tracks from the album Quaristice. It's an EP but is over 2 hours in length.

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_G6rceVX0hq...320/Folder.jpg

I got the new album from Sade - Soldier Of Love it's pretty good .

Still needs another listen from me before I can really give an educated opinion.

I liked Eidolon but its quality was very inconsistant and there were only a few standouts.

Well, be rest assured guys: Feathergun is a better album than Eidolon; Rishloo noticeably shifted their sound on it towards more spacious territory than before. It'll be impossible for them to ever completely shake the Tool comparisons though, as their vocalist sounds like Maynard when he gets more aggressive.

Also, a few albums I've picked up-


http://wakagi.up.seesaa.net/image/stevie_wonder1974.jpg
Stevie Wonder - Fulfillingness' First Finale (1974)

Probably Stevie's most underrated classic, and one that I can happily say possesses a wonderfully peculiar mood. However, it never forgets to keep its hooks and textured grooves within arms' reach. Me like much.

Gong - Acid Motherhood (2004)

British Space Rock gods collaborating with the Acid Mothers Temple, Japan's singular most awesome psychedelic-anything band? OMGYES!! Beyond a generic word like "masterpiece" though, I can't think of any particular way to describe the experience of going through this album. Needless to say though, its incomparable to anything else.


http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Ay6wplqABi...400/myarms.jpg
Opeth - My Arms Your Hearse (1997)

By some divine luck, I found this at 320 kbps ripped from VINYL of all things, and it does wonders in bringing out the sheer breadth of this prog. death onslaught.

I'm seeing a new 70s review...

What the tits? How did I miss this? I'm suppose to be the Gothic Country guru :(

Haha! In their Myspace blog they said both Abominations and Black Dog Yodel are "to celebrate the ugly spirit of Halloween". I've been obsessed with Halloween since I was a kid so I pretty much got them RIGHT after I read that.

Robert Logan - Inscape

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...500_AA280_.jpg

I was rather impressed by this guy's first album earlier today, so I decided to get his most recent one too.

You're certainly right, I will look up the IP address of the person who said it was, call in a few favours to get a real address, go and punch him in the balls.

Bought:
The Tragically Hip - Fully Completely
Quicksilver Messenger Service - Happy Trails
Steve Allen - Steve Allen Plays Especially for Lovers

Downloaded:
(Well, the last 5 were: )
Styx - The Grand Illusion
Josephine Foster - This Coming Gladness
Aufgang - s/t
Ray Wylie Hubbard - A) Enlightenment B) Endarkenment (Hint: There is No C)
A Broken Consort - A Box of Birch

Motorhead - Ace of Spades
Nick Drake - Bryter Layter
Skyhooks - Living in the 70's

Autolux - Future Perfect

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...9L._SS500_.jpg

Been aware of this for a while but never checked it out, this recent discussion has me saying "why not"....so here I go downloading. I don't know if I'll like it but it's worth a shot.

BTW LoathsomePete, your Rateyourmusic.com image isn't showing, because they don't allow image hotlinking.

Andres Segovia - The Art of Segovia

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...500_AA280_.jpg

A friend gave me a few of their albums the other day and I've been really getting into them. I probably like Black Sheep Boy the best so far though.

Oh and, thanks to Jackhammer.

I enjoyed it on the first few listens through, the rhythm section holds the chaotic noisy elements together really well.

^ Uh...there isn't a rhythm section. It's all done on a drum machine that I think they programmed modeling David Witte's technique.

Several:

FC Kahuna - "Machine Says Yes"
Blue States - "Nothing Changes Under the Sun"
Kylie Minogue - "Kylie Minogue" ('94 Special Edition)
Deadly Avenger - Deep Red
Imogen Heap - Ellipse

PROUD MARY - THE SAME OLD BLUES (2001)

Indie/rock with slight touches of country and blues. Some nice little harmonies and melodies. Far from an adventurous album but i had to download this again as it was something i listened to quite alot in my youth when it first came out. It's good for a quick listen/chill out every now and then.

Finally downloaded Noir Désir's discography. Here are my favourite 4:

One of my favourite M-B albums.

A bassist and a drum machine is still a rhythm section.

I got two new albums today:

Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

I liked Uncle Tupelo but for some reason I never really looked into Wilco until now. Considering how highly regarded this album is on both this forum and other forms of media I expect it to make my head explode with awesomeness. If I am not wiping awesomeness off my computer monitor later on tonight I am going to be very disappointed.
