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.

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. |

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. |

The Offspring - Smash 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. |

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. |

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. |
L.A. Woman - The Doors. Cracking
|
Zabooki - Bubonik Funk
On the rise funk band out of North Carolina |

Agree about the album cover though. Very very lame. |

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. http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l9...nH/2123367.jpg 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. |

Fuck Buttons - Slow Focus Yet another plug find, I'm excited to explore this. |
Mac Miller-Watching Movies With the Sound Off
http://i2.wp.com/rapdose.com/wp-cont...size=675%2C675 It has some pretty good and frankly beautiful moments, but overall it's just "ok" |

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

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. http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...vL._SY300_.jpg 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. |

Anyways https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/i...S0GWAWrcLDOweQ https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/i...9twm5lTTw9B00Q 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. |
