September Compilation (i'm giving up on the alliteration)

Track One Anteater, Have A Nice Life Muzak? Either way track one is stellar!

1. Immanu El - Under Your Wings I'll Hide
Very repetitive and about 9 minutes too long. Didn't awaken anything in me at all. Although I think it might make decent background music for something.

2. McDonald and Giles - Flight of the Ibis
Got into this one, loved the lead singers voice. Put me in a happy and carefree hippie mood. I will keep this one for sure.

3. The Beach Boys - Hang on to your Ego
Never been a big fan of The Beach Boys, always found them pretty corny, but I found this song pretty enjoyable. Might give them another try.

4. The Earl Scruggs Revue - The Swimming Song
Always loved Scruggs's playing, not so much his voice, but overall I liked this song.

5. The Coasters - Down In Mexico
I loved this one. Funky, dramatic, good story line, great beat. I really like the part where the tempo sped up and the beat and lyrics changed then the song eventually fell back into the original beat.

6. Polvo - Beggar's Bowl
This really isn't my style but, I liked the instrumental parts a lot, they are a talented group no doubt

I'll do the rest later

I've only played their new album once (where this song is from) but it seems there were a good amount of instrumental parts. It also had a slightly more classic rock feel than their previous stuff. I should put it on again today.

Glad you liked the McDonald and Giles track.

The Fall - Jackhammer
Electric Six - Gunnels

'Fraid not.
Also sorry for the wait, I'm just now DLing this thing.

Standout tracks are bolded.

Immanu El-Under Your Wings I'll Hide
Great post-rock track. Very moving. I'm a sucker for this genre and stuff like this, so I loved it.

McDonald And Giles-Flight Of The Ibis
Nice track sidewinder. I don't listen to a lot of stuff like this but this was definitely enjoyable.

The Beach Boys-Hang On To Your Ego
I can only handle The Beach Boys in small doses. Nothing wrong with this one though.

The Earl Scruggs Revue-The Swimming Song
I really liked this song. The banjo is just infective, and I don't have any issues with his voice. Nice job tore.

The Coasters-Down In Mexico
First song I didn't really care for. Nothing really in particular, just doesn't appeal. Sorry.

Polvo-Beggar's Bowl
Very kickass track, will definitely be checking these guys out. The instruments are so tight on this one, it'd be going on repeat if I didn't have the rest of the comp to listen to.

Amorphous Androgynous-Witchfinder
Pretty weird song, that's not to say it wasn't enjoyable though. Probably wouldn't listen to this one very often, but that's why I like these comps, it exposes me to stuff I would probably never get close to on my own. Nice choice bulldog.

Annihilator-Alison Hell
Not really my kind of thing, wasn't terrible but probably wouldn't listen again.

Toy Dolls-Dougy Giro
Not terrible, but again probably something I wouldn't come back to anytime soon.

Forward, Russia!-Nine
Not bad. I'd be interested in hearing more of these guys, pretty interesting song.

David Sylvain-Forbidden Colours
Liked this one. Very alluring vocals with some nice instrumentation in the background.

Electric Six-Watching Evil Empires Fall Apart
Another great track and another band I will be looking into. Nice blend of funk in this one.

Lhasa de Sela-Anywhere On This Road
I don't quite know what to make of this one, definitely another song I would never have come across in my own personal musical explorations.

The Fall-Neighbourhood Of Infinity
This seems to be one of the cult bands on the forum, I've never really listened to them. This track is alright but I'm not sure it would motivate me to check them out further.

Have A Nice Life-There Is No Food
Wow. This one completely took me by surprise, hypnotized me, sucked me in, and blew me away. Definitely am looking this one up.

School Of Seven Bells-Half Asleep
What a way to finish this comp off, two amazing tracks. Absolutely gorgeous dream-pop. Kudos to whoever upped it.

Was your track David Sylvain?

Also, Alipinisms (the album that School of Seven Bells song is on) was my favorite album of last year. If you liked that track I highly recommend it.

gotjuice · 09-16-2009, 10:53 AM

Sylvain wasn't mine. And I've got that album on my shortlist to check out, definitely.

sidewinder · 09-16-2009, 11:29 AM

I need to spin the comp again to give some feedback and possibly some guesses.

gotjuice · 09-16-2009, 12:31 PM

Yeah I'm not sure enough about most of the contributors musical tastes to be guessing, I'll throw out a few random ones. Forward, Russia! sounds like it could have been from FaSho, though. Unless I'm way off.
