The new Teenage Bottlerocket is giving me a boner, you really can't go wrong with good Ramones-core. Great hooks and catchy lyrics: The most fun I can have in 30 minutes with my pants on

Even though my love for Slowdive dwarfs the attention I give similar bands (even MBV), I really can't believe it's taken me so long to listen to these guys. The more pop-song orientated side of shoegaze, but I love it nevertheless.

Antipop Consortium - Arrhythmia

Anyone looking to get into experimental hip-hop should definitely get this album. Only found out a few weeks ago that they were getting back together so I dug around my CDs to re-discover this gem!

Stars of the Lid - The Tired Sounds of...

The perfect representation of the term 'beautiful minimalism,' in that are no drums or vocals (but the odd sample here and there) and the melody is mainly based on the gentle swells and falls in the music.

Deathspell Omega - Si Monumentum Requires, Circumspice

An essential black metal record. 'Nuff said.

An eclectic and interesting sounding quartet. I'm on the hunt for these now.

Aenima - Tool

blachalaheebow · 01-20-2008, 11:02 PM

STARS OF THE LID-TIRED SOUNDS OF

This album was featured very recently by another member. It deserves another big up. Minimalism has never sounded so complete.

BURIAL-UNTRUE

Dark hypnotic beats complimented by luscious vocals. An absolute grower. Never has a drum machine sounded so important since Massive Attack.

ORANGE BLOSSOM-EVERYTHING MUST CHANGE

Around the world in 80 days would be more succinct. A mash up of Asian, Jamacian and Brtitish influences creates a cohesive listen. Dance music rarely sounds this intelligent.

OVERKILL-FEEL THE FIRE

Classic 80's Speed/Thrash metal from one it's founding members. Don't knock it until you have tried. Surprisingly still stands up with solid production values and killer riffs.

Right now I really like The Cake Sale album. I got it yesterday from the bands management to make some review and I got to say it's simply briliant!

FRANK ZAPPA-ONE SIZE FITS ALL

There is some amazing stuff going on in this album and it features one of Zappa's best line up's. INCA ROADS and FLORENTINE POGEN are standouts. Awesome guitar work, Whacked out rythmn parts and trademark witty vocals combine for another superlative Zappa release.

THE DOORS-OTHER VOICES

The first album post Morrison and you have to question why they carried on without him without a change of band name. The reason why I say this is because there are some genuinely great moments on this album proving that there were good songwriters to stand up on their own, although it starts to run out of ideas towards the end.

BOB DYLAN-HIGHWAY 61 REVISITED

I am not a huge Dylan fan and I feel slightly embarassed that my favourite album of his is the album a lot of other people choose as well. I'm not following a crowd honestly! From the opening snare drop of LIKE A ROLLING STONE through the sublime blues crawl of BALLAD OF A THIN MAN, it's a perfect representation of the angry young Dylan.

FREESTYLERS-ADVENTURES IN FREESTYLE

One of my favourite dance duos who take in all styles from breakbeat to reggae, drum and bass to techno pounders. Always working with unknown vocalists lends ther music more authenticity than a lot of mainstream dance duos, yet there music sounds exceellent played loud and always remains fun, fun, fun!
