Downloaded Ednaswap's self-titled 1995 album because I finally found out they were the brilliant writers of the vastly improved rock original "Torn" that Natalie Imbruglia did okay with. Although I've never been a fan of some old rocker voices, Anne Preven's works.

Pretty cool post-hardcore. Nothing particularly inventive or new in terms of musical styles, but they are Japanese - which is certainly new to me in this genre.

Good stuff.

I've never had my own nice computer before and if I ruin it ill be screwed but I'm sick of listening to the same 10 or so albums that are on my phone.

don't risk downloading torrents because after awhile your connection is going to get throttled and if you attempt to do it on a campus you'll get in trouble.

The Tossers - Long Dim Road

It was alright, but the songs that weren't alright were even better. The opening track is a personal favourite.

Sometimes you just need a bit of good old fashioned English eccentricity.

Sólstafir - Köld (2009)
Spent the weekend sifting through some compilation CDs from a few years ago and this band caught my attention so I decided to check them out. They're a progressive metal band from Iceland with strong roots in black metal. This album unfolds brilliantly over the course of it's lengthy one hour ten minutes and doesn't feel drawn-out at any stage. But what struck me was how well it gave a great sense of melancholy, which is something I have yet to find a metal do as convincingly as, say, bands like The Cure or The Smiths for example.

using blogspots

Type in artist name/album name and get them through there.

I think Filestube works as well but to be honest. I haven't used that method in ages.

I think makes you more likely to get throttled by your provider, not less.

Are you saying direct downloading is more likely to get you throttled than using torrents?

It's good in small doses. I got an headache when I listened to it start to finish, non-stop. That was a mistake, but it's alright, I guess.

Yes. At the very least it's not a way around it.

Torrents.

If you're smart with torrents, nothing will happen. Don't go try and snag some torrent with 0 seeders and comments that's from a user that has never uploaded anything else. I've been doing this for years and never encountered an issue.

meh, I feel like Torrents are a faster way to get you throttled nowadays since they are looking out for it more. Doesn't mean that it will happen to you but it may.

Rosetta - The Anaesthete (2013)

One of my favorite atmospheric sludge metal/post-metal bands. Their 2005 debut album The Galilean Satellites was an ambitious project and really showcased their skills in both ambient electronic music and metal. Their 2007 album Wake/Lift was competently put together and played well, but lacked the same ambition their debut did. 2010's A Determinism of Morality was more focused and featured their best songwriting and song arrangements, but I think The Anaesthete may be their best album to date.

Shame about the cover though, especially given their last three.

Holy heck! I totally forgot this was out today. Gotta get on that when i get home. Also I personally think Wake/Lift is their best album and is defs in my top 3 sludge albums ever. So you saying its their best gets me extremely excited!!

Agree about the album cover though. Very very lame.

You know it's been a long time since I've listened to Wake/Lift so my opinion might me out of date. Regardless I was quite impressed by their new album and it's definitely going to wind up in my top 10.

Imagine a Hawkwind album (He was a member at the time) done totally on a 70s synth with all the guitars, vocals & drums taken out.

Jean Cerrone is a French drummer & disco producer in the same vein as someone like Giorgio Moroder (Who I loved long before Daft Punk ever name checked him so f*ck you).
I was debating whether I should check him out and the cover won me over.

The Dentists Some People Are on the Pitch They Think It's All over It Is Now (1985)

Been looking for this album for ages. Trouble In Mind just reissued it on blue vinyl. Byrdsian garage-rock from a UK band. Worth the wait.

Picked up a mint condition copy of this little beauty for £29 which isn't bad because usually I've seen it going anywhere from £40 - £100 used.

This album is extremely amazing. Can anyone recommend me albums similar to it? I've never really been big on metal-type stuff at all but I loved this, so I have no idea where to go to start finding albums of this type.

14232949 08-11-2013 05:57 PM

No worries YorkeDaddy, just Google "post-rock with growls".

LoathsomePete 08-12-2013 09:06 AM

Or look up "blackgaze" on RateYourMusic and Last.fm to find other artists that fall under the genre.

Here's some of the more popular ones that I can think off the top of my head:

Alcest
Amesoeurs
Austere
Lantlos

I saw Laura Marling live some time ago as a support artist and really loved her. But then never got around to getting any of her actual stuff! I've gotta get onto it. Did you enjoy this album?

Have they replaced the David Lee Roth sounding singer yet?

The Moondoggies Adios I'm a Ghost (2013)

Another fine batch of soulful Americana songs. "Ghost" is an appropriate title as I consider many of the tracks here as having a haunting vibe.

Barrence Whitfield and the Savages Dig Thy Savage Soul (2013)

Haven't heard this yet but Whitfield never disappoints with his mix of raw R&B and early rock-n-roll raucousness.

To be honest I'm only familiar with their early '00's stuff because it had Mike Patton attached to it, but I didn't find the vocalist sounded like David Lee Roth on this album.

That's good to hear. I love the album they did with Patton, but the dude that was the singer on Miss Machine kind of killed the album for me.

I'll be sure to avoid it. I really hate it when the vocals kill an album, I really liked the instrumental portions but the Geddy Lee style vocals just killed that album for me.

Mark Morgan - Fallout 1 & 2 OST

While I only really got into the first Fallout games earlier this year, I can't believe I never noticed how awesome the soundtracks are. Mark Morgan did a fantastic job creating this bleak ambient/electronic albums that really reminds me of newer ambient musicians like Tim Hecker.

Scratch Acid - The Greatest Gift

Tickles my obscure music fancy, haha. Honestly haven't gotten to listen to the whole album all the way through, but the beginning sounds interesting enough for me to give it a good listen.
