what a way to start the new year!!!!....this is damn near perfect....i was not expecting something so somber and yet so full of light....right from the beginning there is multiple layers to the music...and that voice is amazing....it's interesting...upon reading about him it says that he was interested in just how music makes a person cry and that is what inspired him to start making music....i tell ya what....i've listened to this album at least 6 times now....and although i have not cried yet....i can almost guarantee that it could bring me to tears if i was in the right 'set'....this is deeply emotional and real in both musical instrumentation and lyrics

top notch jackhammer....thank you

an interesting side note is that he was a memeber of the short lived Coil tribute band This Immortal Coil....and is behind the most bone chilling song on their album Red Queen....you should really check it out if you have not already

Holy ****, coolest album art iv ever seen.




Glad to see this thread wasnt just a waste of time. :)

Ok, I'm sending an album to RezZ first since he opened this very interesting thread (not to mention that I'm already a fan of Weekly Music Trading Post :)). I'm not really sure what's the range of your taste RezZ, but it's obvious you like stoner rock. If I'm not mistaken you also like psychedelic, space and kraut rock? So I'm sending you the first album of this 'avant-progressive' French band from the 70s, Lard Free (that I recently discovered myself).

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...500_AA300_.jpg

Lard Free - Lard Free (1973)

Very interesting album, a blend of progressive rock, jazz, kraut rock and a further proof that France had a rich scene in 70s. I'm not sure how far from your taste this is, but I hope you'd find it interesting.

Dr_Rez 01-02-2011 12:24 PM

Thanks mate Iv got some free time now so ill check it out once its done legally downloading ;)

bob. 01-02-2011 12:58 PM

dankrsta....could you please send that my way also?

For the Bob and the Folkslave because I think they'd really enjoy this album, upbeat, fun folk-punk with great male/female vocals.

Lard Free - Lard Free (1973)

Well this was extremely odd and seemed to have almost no song structure and at some points just noise. BUT I really liked it. Dont forget I listen to Buckethead like its a religion and bands like Sun that are just walls of noise. My favorite track was probably 12 ou 13 (the short version) as it had a good deal of guitar noodling. I can tell there clearly well trained talented musicians making a off beat jazzish type album. Thanks Dank, I didnt go in with much confidence but after listening I really enjoyed it. After I listen to some more Goatsnake i shall give it yet another listen.

Ps: I read on last fm where the name comes from and thought that was kind of cool.

^Why thank you, I've heard about these guys but never picked up their album. I look forward to hearing it.

I was just about to send something to you! No lie! But you have to share with Rezz and sidewinder.

So for Janszoon, RezZ, and sidewinder:

Yeah, I just realized I didn't type anything about it.

It's a dub album, made by Fin Greenall, who most people know as Fink, the singer-songwriter. What alot of people don't know is that he started as a DJ with Ninja Tune records and ended up recording an album with them which was electronic/chillout/dub-ness, before he went and recorded his next three albums doing his singer-songwriter thing.

This is his side project called Sideshow, which is basically him going back to his electronic roots, and doing a much better job of it than his earlier attempts, in my humble opinion.

Anyway, I hope you get some enjoyment out of it!

For the Folkslave

Owen Pallett - Heartland

I know you're a big Arcade Fire fan, and Owen Pallett actually writes and arranges the string sections on all three AF albums, as well as plays occasionally with the band. His solo work is based around the violin, and he plays parts and loops them to create a bit of a one-man orchestra. Heartland is really lovely, and if I had to compare I'd say it's part Arcade Fire, part Sufjan Stevens, and honestly, I thought it was better than the Suburbs this year.

RVCA 01-03-2011 12:33 AM

Pedestrian sent me

http://www.chartstats.com/images/artwork/28659.jpg

A nice indie psychedelia album with some dream pop qualities. I've actually been listening to Cocteau Twins, School of Seven Bells, and some other bands under the dream-pop umbrella with little success. This seems to be a good bridge to the genre... it's pretty accessible with several infectious and easy-to-enjoy tracks like "Hudson Line" and "Goddess On A Hiway". I'm not really eager to compare them to Flaming Lips like many others, but maybe that's because I'm not super familiar with the Lips' work. Anyway.

Thanks brooooooo

Thank you :) I was going to check this one out at one time but I forgot about it (nothing unordinary since there is so much stuff I need to listen to that some of the stuff slips my mind from time to time. Thank god the stuff comes back haunting me :) ) Now it's good time to check this one out. I'll tell you what I think about it after I've listened to it.

downwardspiral 01-03-2011 07:48 AM

I'm sorry for dodging rules slightly, feel free to delete this if you please, but I was just wondering if there's anyone who isn't really into Sonic Youth who'd like to give them a listen? I was gonna make a playlist of one song from each album in chronological order and upload it somewhere so you could download, so it'll be16 tracks. So yeah. Anyone? Let me ken!

When i listened to the first track it sounded a little bit like Cocteau Twins gone twee, but as the next track came on the album turned into something a little bit different. One description that came into my head as i was listening to it is that she sounds a bit like Tegan and Sara lost in a dark forest with Beach House. It sounds a bit dark and twisted in places and has a nice dreamy feel to it. I'm very impressed by her vocals, they sound really gorgeous and captivating. Also looking at pictures of her, she is seriously gorgeous.

I sent this album to duga:

Adorable - Against Perfection (1993)

We both have a very similar taste in music and i've really been enjoying this album lately so i thought you might like it as well. This band were initially lumped in with shoegaze in the early 90's but they pretty much broke the mold with this album, their strong songwriting abilities and memorable tunes distanced themselves somewhat from their peers. Their record label Creation however didn't bother much with them and crippled the band's commercial potential.

Thanks, I'll check this out and report back here. This is a great thread idea!

I'll have to think on some recommendations...

I would. Strangely enough, they're just one of those bands that I've never really given much time to for whatever reason.

first off...i agree with what you said in the "albums i'm digging thread"....2010 was just a really good year for music

this choice was perfect for the "spirit" of this thread....as this is just out of my "comfort" zone....but i think you may have accomplished getting me really interested in folk-punk with this album and the link you sent also....seriously thank you!....what a great label!

this is a perfect example of the progression of good punk rock music....the lyrics are witty, fun, and even a bit political...without being out right preachy....the music is fun, upbeat, and eclectic....i also feel that if it were heavily distorted it could probably rival some of the faster "punk" bands out there.....i'm on my second listen now and i've the little heart button at least four time.....thanks man!

It's a poppy math rock album. At first listen, I didn't like this album at all, but after giving it another chance, I realized there are a lot of underlying rythms and whatnot, which might be his type of music. I'm not sure. I saw a few math rock bands on his lastfm, and figured I would give this a shot.

More to come for other members.

Terrific album. It begins with a mother of a blowout and ends in very much the same fashion. It's a very energetic album but it also has a lot of emotional depth, one or two tracks have particularly downbeat and melancholy moments and are quite doomy altogether. The vocals seem to be screamed in agony most of the time and the guitars are loud and fresh.

Thanks, jackhammer.

If anyone wishes to send me something feel free, by the way.

Haha Im glad you see why I made it. I love the trading post but this is so much better in that noone has to do a big amount of organizing/pming/work to get everyone set up. Im debating actually just figuring a way to merge them into one super thread and changing the rules of the trading post to closer resemble this free trade form. And by me merging it I mean not me, but someone with power ;)

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

People will get from this:

What other people like
How other people feel about a posted artist
New artists to discover
Some insight into their fellow poster
what bands are related
why seemingly unrelated bands aren't that dissimilar
access to genres they don't listen to
& much much more!

Kiss The Anus Of The Black Cat - Hewers Of Wood Drawers Of Water
http://images.plixid.com/imager/w_30...e6751bff1f.jpg

i know i have some stuff that you would love....but since we are trying to help people explore other types of music that they may enjoy or respect....i'm going to to the far right field with this recommendation :)

first off...i have a strong respect for your taste in music...although i may not always like the stuff you post....i love checking out the things you post...you just have a great ear and i respect that

so Kiss The Anus Of The Black Cat a part from having a very silly name is a very complex and multi genre band from Gent, Belgium...although if i had to classify them i suppose i would call them neofolk.....this is a bit darker than what i feel you normally listen to and probably a bit slower....but if anything i think you may be able to appreciate the meaning of the music and the talent of the musicians.....

good luck :)

and to Janszoon:

Celan - halo
http://www.rocksound.tv/images/uploads/celan300.jpg

although i am almost positive you will like this....it is a kind of super group with members of Unsane, Einsturzende Neubauten, and Oxbow....so think of those three styles all mashed together

DoctorSoft 01-03-2011 02:24 PM

If anyone could send me a good jazzy Hip-Hop album, that would be cool.

Thank you for the kind words and the album, I look forward to listening to it, I'm always open to new styles of music I've never heard. I'm glad you liked The Wild, makes me happy when people dig my recommendations.
Also, don't be afraid to send the stuff you know I'd love :)

bob. - would you mind sending me the Celan album too? I really enjoyed that video of them you posted in another thread.

And I've got a couple of things I think you might like, if you're interested? Will have to double check you don't know them already, though.
