Besnard Lakes - Are the Dark Horse

Sort of a post-rock/shoegaze/indie band out of Canada that I've heard good things about.

Mr. Satchmo just turned me on to this. I haven't given it a proper listen yet, but it's good to see it in your lineup too. I'll have to get it onto my player soon.

I've always been interested in Riverside but haven't heard any of their stuff. I'll definitely need to check 'em out.

I have more favourite albums by Opeth, Still Life is also one of them together with Damnation, Blackwater Park and Watershed ;)

If you want to start with Riverside, I recommend their first album Out of Myself. It's more catchy than the new one Anno domini. But lot of people say Anno Domini is their best because it's probably LITTLE BIT heavier and it has 5 longer tracks.

I agree, Out of Myself is the best start with this band. Out of Myself - Last.fm

But @LoathsomePete... you have probably very open-minded grandma :laughing: My grandma wouldn't be able to survive one song :D
Ok, I am girl, I don't need too heavy stuff and I always say they are something like progressive rock/metal and not only metal.

I didn't like it at all, after 3 songs I turned it off because it was putting me into a catatonic stupor.

Well I'm pretty sure it's because my grandmother is pretty much deaf, but I'd like to think that she enjoyed Swansong by Carcass when I played it really loudly driving up I-5 from Tacoma Washington to Vancouver.

50 Cent Haircut - Brood or Change

A very good alt. country album with indie rock influences.

Glad to see you're on the trolley. I saw them in November, great blisteringly loud show.

nuh-uh never got round to it, youbtubing them now though and it does things... the problem with Crass and family is that they go widely unrecognized for their experimentalism.. but they never went off-message. All the found samples they used and the tape loops and everything were so damn effective.

my mistake also 'cause K.U.K.L. put out two albums on that label and they are scary as hell. real face melters. Always wanted to hear the 'Bullshit Detector' samplers as well, will report back if i can find em

The Smiths - Meat Is Murder (1985)

Got this classic in FLAC and converted to 320 kbps, resulting in an awesomeness that sounded better than the copy I had before.

Vangelis - Blade Runner OST (1994)

My new favorite background music to a 2:00 AM drive through the city when everything is dark, strange and desolate.

I agree. I always loved how contradictory Crass was as a whole but most give them a listen and determine them to be ****ty because their point wasn't being good at their instruments.

I have a huge soft spot for Poison Girls, their singer being a housewife-turned-anarcho singer/guitarist

which version is this, because there are several? I managed to come across the stupidly comprehensive one (includes the geisha billboard music and all the rest), believe i have it on megaupload if anyone's interested. I would love to have heard this objectively, not as a fan of the film, but it would almost certainly still be singularly fantastic regardless

Oh, it is indeed fantastic regardless of whether or not you have seen the film. Even as somebody who generally gets bored by over the top synths, I can safely say this is a masterpiece for sure.

The track listing for mine looks like this, which is just the original 1994 release if I recall-

1. Main Titles (3:42)
2. Blush Response (5:47)
3. Wait for Me (5:27)
4. Rachel's Song (4:46)
5. Love Theme (4:56)
6. One More Kiss, Dear (3:58)
7. Blade Runner Blues (8:53)
8. Memories of Green (5:05)
9. Tales of the Future (4:46)
10. Damask Rose (2:32)
11. Blade Runner (End Titles) (4:40)
12. Tears in Rain (3:00)

along with dozens of bootlegs there's an official 3 disc version out there that is well worth checking out. disc 2 is more music from the film, and disc 3 is new stuff Vangelis composed in the same style.

The musicianship is pretty minimal but the songs are surprisingly dark.

These guys were playing at Lollopalooza in 2006 and I heard them playing while I was waiting for Queens of the Stone Age to come on. I wasn't too impressed...kind of Interpol rip offs from what I heard (who are, in turn, Joy Division rip offs).

I do have a soft spot for Interpol, though.

million dollar basher 02-22-2010 03:50 PM

"Humbug" - Arctic Monkeys. "Crying Lightning" is one hell of a single. That and "Wild Young Hearts" by the Noisettes. Similarly, a very strong album with a great single, "Never Forget You".

Strongly reccomend both, though they couldn't be any more dissimilar stylistically.

Dieselboy 02-22-2010 05:09 PM

Grabbed these on cd:

Kenny Barron and Regina Carter - Freefall
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...500_AA240_.jpg
Got this mainly cause I enjoy Kenny Barron immensely, but Carter is excellent on violin here as well. Piano + violin can sound so haunting on here at times, but also quite exciting in others. Very cool all around.

Emir Kusturica and the No Smoking Orchestra - Unza Unza Time
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...500_AA240_.jpg
Had to pick this up after seeing it mentioned in a couple different spots on MB, and then hearing a song by them on the Feb comp. Extremely fun and also noisy, and just loaded with bright brass sounds. This album just f*cking rocks.

Chansons Et Musiques Des Films Noirs
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...500_AA240_.jpg
Actually came across this by accident, but it was cheap and I liked the cover so I snagged it. Some slow, moody theme songs like you'd expect, but also some tunes that are more upbeat that sound like Sinatra would maybe sing if he was french. Not too bad. :)

Opium Cartel - Night Blooms (2009)

Like a lot of you here, I'm generally picking up new stuff all the time. Upon obtaining an album and giving it some serious time, one of three feelings results: like, dislike, or meh. Rarely do I fall in love with albums at first listen. Sometimes it never happens at all.

For the first time in a long time however, spring has sprung for me here, an album that came out in the middle of last year but nobody seemed to notice. Probably because the musicians involved are all prog. guys from Sweden and Norway even though the music here is generally NOT proggy at all. And perhaps such is for the best, because what they've accomplished here is a hell of a lot better than their careers in modern progressive rock.

Musically there's a lot happening. There's a shoegaze aesthetic that also feels a bit like old school alt. rock, a fair amount of folk, some slight metal touches, delicious classical, a lot of organic instrumentation..all which is held together in the core by subtle electronic touches that shiver in blissful, flawless nirvana. The vocals also do this music the best service possible, as both the male and female sound wonderful in their respective leads.

I know you guys generally don't take my suggestions, but this here is essential. I've even upped a few tracks to back up my assertions! :love:

Yeah, I mean, nothing against Rickenbacker, cause everyone is different and all that, but I think this is just so badass. You know that face you make sometimes when listening to music...when it's just so amazing that your face contorts to where it probably looks like a cross between you being really pissed off and you just sucked on a lemon? I musta made that face ten times when this album was on last night. The third song especially...sheesh. ><

Aside from what's bolded above, I'm getting this album as I type this simply based on your post. Anytime someone is so excited about an album, I feel I have to check it out. I'll post back here and let you know what I think.

That, and I already love the band's name and that album cover. For some odd reason, I'm a sucker for mostly white album covers. It does something weird for me, and I approach the music differently.
