*** The Themed Weekly Member Mixtape Thread Is Back ***

[bob.]

Awesome! So what's the next theme?

[Mondo Bungle]

Hopefully I'll have a review up later.

[Mondo Bungle]

People of San Francisco - Enviromental San Francisco II (just copy/pasting )

This was a nice soothing track, pretty minimalist and cool. I think it set up my track rather nicely.

Neurosis - Souls At Zero

I love this track a lot. Crushing and epic. Lyrics are open to interpretation, and I get a somewhat environmental message here.

Dan Fogleberg - Blind to the Truth

Not really my thing, but I mean, I didn't hate it. I like the lyrics though.

Oidupaa Vladimir Oiun - A Thin Rowan Tree

I thought this was gonna pick up at some point, but it was still cool. I'm an accordion fan, they always catch my attention.

Scary Kids Scaring Kids - The World As We Know It

This is no offense to Dj at all, but I generally hate stuff like this. A friend of mine likes this band, and I just don't at all. It all sounds the same to me, all this modern melodic metalcore. I still love you

Goldfrapp - Hairy Trees

I've been hearing a lot of this in plug, and been genuinely enjoying it. It's all pretty downtempo and soothing. And I dig the vocals. Of all the songs I've heard from them, I think this one is my favorite. I really dig that synth going on.

Ministry - Isle of Man (Version II)

What can I say? Ministry is awesome. This song is awesome.

Elder - Release

Thanks for blowing my mind bro. This was incredible. Real heavy and weird awesome technical leads. I'm inclined to listen to more of this band.

Nujabes Minmi - Shiki No Uta (Audiodoctor Remix)

So this wasn't on the track list, wtf. I dunno who submitted it but this is nice. That's a real intoxicating beat.


Pretty decent tape. Not to brag, but I think this started off with an awesome blast from the first two tracks.

haha no problem. I can only find the one EP with this song and another that is about 10 minutes as well called spires burn. Will investigate further and get back to you.

Edit: Found the new album, have not listened yet, will pm you link and we can check it out.

WHO WAS IT I PROMISED A RADIOMOSCOW ALBUM TO? Because I have links but i can not remember who they go to.

Oh, that was my submission!

Sorry for the lateness;

Week 2 - PROTEST, review:

1. Ryan Harvey - Gentrification [Mondo Bungle] - Not my kinda song, although the message was clear and a rebellion has been formed. Some drums would be good, even if subtle. - 4/10

2. John Lennon - Working Class Hero [Plankton] - Wonder what this would sound like in FLAC or 320kbps. I liked it, I like John Lennon, I like, "fckuing crazy...", I liked it. One of those shackle songs if you know what I mean. (Not a sexual reference) - 8/10

3. R.E.M. - Welcome to the Occupation [rostasi] - Alright song, nothing amazing, but alright. Not much too say bout this, don't know how to put it into words. - 6/10

4. William Shatner - I Can't Get Behind That [Trollheart] - Never heard a song like this before, I like it though. Thought I had [Adult Swim] playing in the background!

"I can't get behind a fat ass!"

-9/10

5. Wingnut Dishwashers Union - F**k Every Cop (Who Ever Did His Job) [wolverinewolfweiselpigeon] - Nice track title. Some anarchy type shiet, cool break in the middle of the song. Didn't like the singers voice though, but lyrics were on point. - 7/10

6. The Knife - Stay Out Here [Pedestrian] - Beginning sounds like end credits for Tekken, which is never a bad thing. Vocals were eerie, the beat was alright. A bit long for me though. - 8/10

7. Blood Axis - The Hangman and the Papist [bob.] - Cool song! didn't like the vocals or the lyrics though, blame my taste. Which is very poor. Would be cool if there was an instrumental to this. Digged the snares at 1:40! - 6/10

8. Frank Zappa - Who Are the Brain Police [FrownLand] - I can hear Chelsea Wolfe doing a cover to this, maybe. Eerie song, the singer was alright and the lyrics were on the same par. Don't know when I'd listen to this song. Is this his style of music? I'll look into him some more. - 6/10

9. Dead Prez - Malcolm, Garvey & Huey (feat. Divine) - Prefer Lloyd Banks' "Beamer, Benz & Bentley", but was a good mix. Didn't think the production suited the lyrics though. Divine was alright, Dead Prez kills it as always. - 7/10

10. Deltron 3030 - 3030 - Rezdaddy Longlegs - I ****s with Deltron 3030, when I first heard the album I was blown away! This song especially. Always a fan of Del's rapping. Sampling work was excellent, I think kids, 1017 years from now, would bump this. - 10/10

11. Santogold - Shuv It (feat. Three 6 Mafia & Project Pat) [ME! Yay!] - Really like Santogolds singing. The hook is just badassery imo. - ?/10

12. Wax Audio - Sad But Superstitious (Metallica/Stevie Wonder Mashup) [Yac] - Really low quality, hopefully there is a better quality out there I can snatch. Dope mashup, been a while since I heard a good flowing mashup. - 8/10

13. Chthonic - Bloody Gaya Fulfilled [Duga] - Don't usually like heavy songs like this one, but this is an exception. The female backing vocals were cool, and the dude screaming just flowed really well with the song. Not good, but not bad either imo. - 8/10

[Dr_Rez]

oops totally forgot to throw that in

that was me

downloading the mix now

what is the next theme?

edit

1. rotasi: Create - Environmental San Francisco II
was wondering if this would really kick in....and i must say i'm glad it didn't....very minimal and nice ambient track and a great opening for this mix

2. Mondo Bungle: Neurosis - Souls At Zero
i think the lyrics for this one are pretty straight forward for the subject.....that guitar was the thing that drew me to this band....love this track

3. Trollheart: Dan Fogelberg - Blind to the Truth
fits perfect with subject....at first i was thinking to myself "what the fuck happened to you Dan Fogelberg?"....but have to admit that i really liked this by the end....think i may check out his early 90s stuff

4. Frownland: Oidupaa Vladimir Oiun - A Thin Rowan Tree
this was awesome man.....a seriously unique track....well done

5. djchameleon: Scary Kids Scaring Kids - The World As We Know It
was a little weary because of the singers voice....but actually really enjoyed this one...the lyrics were great

6. misspoptart: Goldfrapp - Hairy Trees
gorgeous track...the music and the vocals worked perfectly together....plus so far at least i think this may be the only track that concentrates more on the concept of "one's" environment....rather than the destruction of earth

7. bob.: Ministry - Isle of Man (Version II)
it was either this or Pailhead's Man Should Surrender....decided to go with old Ministry for a change

8. Rez: Elder - Release
nice and epic....well picked

9. Deviouz: Nujabes Minmi - Shiki No Uta (Audiodoctor Remix)
much like the first track this was a perfect ending to this mix....love the beats and just the flow of the entire track....since i have no clue as to what this chick is saying....i'll assume it works perfect for this mix

i would say this is the best pairing of songs since the first mix...well done everyone

[Dr_Rez]

Theme For September 19 - September 25 will be Psychedelic

[Trollheart]

Man I have let these back up haven't I? Sorry sorry, Metal Month you know...

Anyhoo...

1. rostasi: Robert Wyatt - Shipbuilding

I loved this. Very minimalistic and I like how his accent keeps breaking through. Great guitar work and some fine piano.

2. Mondo Bungle: Bad Braids - Ships

Actually reminds me of Heather from Mostly Autumn. Really like this too. Had to turn it up in the beginning then in the middle it gets really loud. Sorry neighbours!

3. Rezdaddy Longlegs: Radio Moscow - Deep Blue Sea

Ah, can't beat the blues Rez! Sweet!

4. Deviouz: Namco - Formless Like Water

Not usually my sort of thing but I enjoyed this, although I did think I was listening to Yello for the first few seconds!

5. bob.: Black Heart Procession - Ships Of Gold

Like this a lot. Think it's cool that he got his cat to sing with him!

6. Trollheart: It Bites - The Tall Ships

My song that you all hated, may you be cursed to early graves, one and all! You're all just unable to appreciate the greatness of this song. No, I am NOT Nickleback_rules, how dare you suggest such a thing?

7. djchameleon: Gorillaz - Pirate Jet

DJs gonna roll his eyes at this, but sorry man, no Gorillaz song is ever getting near my ears. Even since I read in an interview with them that they tried to set a cat on fire because they "thought it was a good idea at the time" I've hated these guys with all my heart. I have a few redline issues and animal cruelty is one. So I didn't even let the song play. Sorry. Just how I feel.


Ok so basically a really good mix, enjoyed most if not all of it. I'll do the most recent one soon.

[Frownland]

1. rotasi: Create - Environmental San Francisco II
This track was great, my favourite on the tape.

2. Mondo Bungle: Neurosis - Souls At Zero
This one's got some riveting moments and a singer that sounds quite a bit like Tom Araya, who is my Elvis.

3. Trollheart: Dan Fogelberg - Blind to the Truth
I thought this track was cheesy on the musical side, but the lyrics weren't bad and the singer had a good voice. I did like the solos at the end, too.

4. Frownland: Oidupaa Vladimir Oiun - A Thin Rowan Tree
A little background on this one: Oiun was imprisoned in a Serbian jail at the time of this recording for reasons unknown to a google search, but I assume that it's well known in Tuva. He invented his own form of kargryaa, which is the deeper form of throat singing. I love the passion with which he sings and his accordion playing is very beautiful. I can't find any translated lyrics, but Tuvan culture glorifies nature, so I'll assume that this track does the same.

5. djchameleon: Scary Kids Scaring Kids - The World As We Know It
Good instrumentation, but I disliked the singing style. That being said, the singer pairs well with the band and he clearly has a good voice for that style of vocals.

6. misspoptart: Goldfrapp - Hairy Trees
This was a nice track, I like the strings and flute's meshing with the electronic sounds.

7. bob.: Ministry - Isle of Man (Version II)
Ministry never fails to deliver, this track is of no exception.

8. Rez: Elder - Release
This was a sweet song, the guitars are great and it has a very fluent progression. It did drag on for a wee bit though.

9. Deviouz: Nujabes Minmi - Shiki No Uta (Audiodoctor Remix)
I dig the jazziness of the guitar in the beginning. Very laid back tune, I like it.
