What's the sound in my headphones today? (electronic, bass, indie)

Maserati - Inventions For The New Season (2006)

Now that's better. The Post Rock balance has been restored. The emphasis is on the rhythm and tempo compared to the usual Crescendos of Post Rock. It has a 'jamming' vibe that I like.

A fine album. I got this on release after hearing a track or two on my favourite radio station. I am impressed with it's longevity as it is one that I can dig out periodically and still enjoy.

It has been a while since I've listened to anything post-rock related (apart from Isis which is a staple band for me), but I remember enjoying The Language of Cities by Maserati.

Armin Van Buuren - A State Of Trance (2004)

Now and again I get an urge to listen to some Trance music. I think it's the breakdowns that I like. For some reason they remind me a little of Prog, only for the reason that the tracks go off into a different tangent for a while whilst I have always loved deep bass lines.

AVB is one of the better mainstream DJ'S out there and along with Sander Kleinenberg I find I can listen to their mixes for a good while without being bored, because lets be honest, it's a genre of music that can become repetitive.

I don't think that there are many Trance fans on here and I'm not here to convert anyone. It's just exactly what the thread is about and today I'm toe tapping to Trance!

I may start working through some of the albums on this thread.

This one I'm not in love with by any means but I'm glad I checked it out. Im not big on Grindcore but this was one of the only albums I haven't completely hated.

Roots Manuva- The Falling. We don't produce a lot of great Hip hop. He is the exception.

Thanks for introducing me to two new artists I really like. I like hip hop and rap, but not really too much of the mainstream stuff and I don't really know anyone that likes artists like these. Most of my friends listen to Three Six, Kanye, and Lil' Wayne or underground hip hop if any rap or hip hop.

And I know it was said earlier but I feel a need to state this again - the diversity of your music is ridiculous (in a good way of course). It amazes me how this thread can go from grindcore to hip hop to African music. Keep it up though! I'm finding lots of new music... I just need to stop downloading and listen to all of it now :p

I'm really pleased that you have found some new music to get into, as far as I'm concerned it is huge vindication for making threads such as these.

As for the Genre hopping- it's all good for the soul. There is so much fantastic stuff out there that I want to hear as much as i can.

Bruce Dickinson - The Chemical Wedding (1998)

Iron Maiden's frontman Bruce Dickinson's solo career has been patchy but it really hit paydirt with this release. The strength of this album is that despite his trademark vocals and the inclusion of Maiden guitarist Adrian Smith it does sound distinctly different to them. It's heavier but still retains good melody and hooks. It is quite simply a fantastic Heavy metal album that doesn't try to anything different or spectacular with the genre, yet it is still a very good listen. It's quite refreshing to hear straight up good old fashioned Metal sometimes that still has enough good playing and musical chops for it to rise above the much of the mediocrity out there.

Hmm, i quite liked that song. I may check this record out. When it comes to Bruce's solo stuff I listened to Tattooed Millionaire and never bothered with anything else.

Tattooed millionaire is pretty shocking but this is something else alogether.A solid old school Metal album.
