Listener - Wooden Heart

Sent this to Charlemagne. This is one of my favorite albums ever. Great talk music indie stuff. The vocals and lyrics are just so emotional well delivered. I hope he likes this. If anyone else wants this just ask :)
Thanks! Sounds right up my alley. What did you think of Laura Stevenson and the Cans by the way?

Hop Along - Freshman Year

I definitely want to send you something because you have really interesting taste and always post something that I've never heard of but end up liking. I don't know how much pop you listen to, but this one is one of the best. It's really pretty unique for a pop record and its become one of my favorite records, the vocals are fantastic, and what she does with the voice and instrumentals is amazing.

I really liked the Laura Stevenson and the Cans album. I think you and I have a great musical compatibility. You listen to so much great stuff and the stuff I haven't heard about I end up loving. This album made no exception. It was great from start to finish.

btw. That Hop Along album is pretty nice. Hope dankrsta likes it too.

I love good pop and when it clicks just right it usually ends up being one of my very favorite things, like a certain Grandaddy album. :) Thanks Charlemagne. I think I have something for you.

as i was looking for the perfect introduction to Current 93...i came across a review for this album which stated "this is the perfect introduction to the music of Current 93" :)

i actually agree

Thanks! It makes me so happy when I can spread music I love and get other people to love it as much. You have a ton of great stuff here too, like with that Listener album you captured exactly what I love in music most, and that's emotion and this album is flooring me with how much passion he speaks with.

I like his madness, he channels it pretty well, like in the lyrics on Modern Guilt.

Hahahaha, Midnite Vultures is probably the height of his insanity, but I'm really looking for someone to recommend John Vanderslice to.

Lift to Experience - The Texas Jerusalem Crossroads (2001)

You two seem to be musically compatible, although Folkslave is into post-rock and Charlemagne isn't (at least I haven't noticed it). So I think both of you may like this album that I've unearthed recently after it has been buried somewhere in my house for 8 ****ing years. It has a strong apocalyptic vision, but don't let it put you off. I don't find it preachy at all. The best part is the music actually, some post-rock influence, a certain Slint vibe in parts and it's just a great dusty, space rock. Very emotional too. I hope you'll enjoy it.

There's a good chance she's already heard this Cows related band but if not I think it offers something a little different while staying true to the Cows brand of Noise-Rock.

This is exactly like you described it to me; an indie rock Mewithoutyou. He does have a great delivery, admittedly much like Aaron Weiss, perhaps a little too close. In any event, I enjoyed it, and the lyrics are clearly the most important aspect, but I'd have to listen a few times more to really appreciate them. Favourite tracks were Building Better Bridges, and These Hands Weren't Meant For Us. Thank you!

I need to check out that Listener album. What you said though reminds me of the band Wintersleep and their album Untitled. A lot of it reminds me of mewithoutYou but not because it's talk-singing (it's not), the singer's voice just sounds similar at times (as does the musical style in a few songs). Great album you should check out if you like mewithoutYou.

Autechre - Quaristice

Well, this was interesting, to say the list. I went to this album as someone who doesn't listen to Autechre that often. I've only heard Tri Repetae before this one and I must say I still like it more. This album was hard for me to get into at first. It demands full attention, I couldn't use it as a background 'cause I found it annoying then. But when I sat and listened closely I was intrigued. It wasn't an easy listen mainly because of the huge number of tracks, 20 relatively short ones. I found it interesting that the majority of these tracks felt like fragments, miniatures and snippets of some nonexistent more developed and rounded tracks. These were usually the shortest, there were too many of them and they had so much going on they felt way longer. This is where this album is at its coldest, sounds very calculated, robotic and mathematical. The tracks I loved the most were the ones where this cybernetic quality is contrasted with some minimalism of repetition which gives an interesting dynamic, appears to have a development and establishes some atmosphere, like 'Tankakern', 'rale', 'WNSN' etc. Oh I have to add that I found the names of tracks also interesting, with many of them looking like they were picked up from some scientific formulas. Well, it fits with the music. So, did I love this album? Not really. Do I feel drawn to figure it out? Most definitely. Thanks Dayvan for this challenge.
Check out Quaristice (Versions), the bonus disc that came with the limited edition. ;)

This sounds like a winning combination, must check out.

you and i are like peas in a pod when it comes to our taste....but i noticed two things that you just don't seem to be that into....good punk rock and good hip/hop....i decided to introduce you to one of my favorite bands (ever!)

Aha, so that's where they're hiding. I think the album as a whole is kinda hard to swallow, but when I choose individual tracks to play I end up liking them a lot more. Personally, I would cut this album in half and it would make it perfect. Well for me at least, as an Autechre n00b.

Amazing album that. I have extolled the virtues of that album many times on here.

I haven't forgot the albums I have been sent by various people either and reviews will be up soon.

Alright, downwardspiral, after several listens I'm ready to put my thoughts down about your Sonic Youth mix...

http://blogs.villagevoice.com/music/sonic_youth.jpg

In short: I dug it. It wasn't nearly as noisy or experimental as I was expecting but it was very interesting to listen to music that so obviously established the template for so many indie rock bands. "Drunken Butterfly" was far and away my favorite track. I love the energy and wildness in that song and only wish there were more tracks like it on the mix.

+81 01-24-2011 08:17 PM
Great pick, Janszoon. That's the track that really got me into the band.

Dopefight - Buds
http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2nHlMeGUjc...fightcover.jpg

I just got this the other day and it really reminded of some heavier Sabbathesque riffs with some harsher vocals. I know you like vocals like Pig Destroyer and whatnot (not that this is that similar) so hey I figure ill send it your way. Also you turned me on to Colour Haze which is easily my favorite modern stoner band so I owe you at least a little.

You seemed to doubt sending this in the PM you sent me, but I promised to give it a fair shot (probably because I didn't care for Asceticists 2006), but the result is exactly why I don't rule anything out. I really enjoyed this. I'm glad you mentioned what you did about Jack the Ripper, because knowing the basis of the album really gave depth to my listening. It trembled with controlled rage, sometimes exploding into fits of violence, but at the same time, the occasional flair of cello introduced something almost sympathetic, almost human to it. I thought this was a great, interesting portrayal of its subject. Thank you!

I think many of their albums could be cut in half and be more enjoyable (or to 2/3), but especially this one. It's just so fragmented it seems to go on forever. Their EPs are great for this reason. Except for the one that came out after Quaristice.Quadrange.ep.ae.

in all honesty i thought you may have....but i did not see them on your last.fm (which really means very little) but i wanted to share that album in particular and figured if you had not heard them you may enjoy.....either way enjoy....it's a classic in my opinion

Just wanted to say thanks for indirectly informing me that this exists. I love Jugend and Whitehouse, but somehow wasn't aware of this project until now. Will definitely be seeking it out soon.

if you are already a fan of Sutcliffe Jungend...i suggest checking ot the album "Cold River Songs" it is literally like "When Pornography Is No Longer Enough" but with guitar and a little bit of story line :)

This is one of my favorites as well but .. for a first jazz album?
It took me many listens and lots of weed before this one really started sounding like music (take note uglyorgan) - and that was after I already loved Jazz. I agree that it's perfect though.

Ornette Coleman is probably my favorite jazz artist. A more accessible but still avant garde album of his is The Shape of Jazz To Come.

Maybe not the best album for someone like myself, but I did enjoy this quite a bit. I'm gonna listen to it more and see if it grows on me. As it went on I got into it a lot more. For now it's a 7.5/10.

Dr_Rez 01-26-2011 02:05 PM
Just a note for this thread. Dont be afraid to say you didnt like something at all. Its not like your spitting in the face of whomever gave you it. Personally I would like to know an honest answer from something I sent someone. (This isnt for anyone in particular just a general note)

Chrysalis 01-26-2011 02:15 PM
Finished listening to the Paul Butterfield album RezZ sent me a while ago, and I'm really liking it!
