What's the sound in my headphones today?

Massive Attack- Dissolved Girl

I still like to think that this is the greatest Electronic song ever recorded. It is now over 10 years old yet it stil has the power to astonish in it's brutal simplicity. It is literally one of the most intense songs I have ever heard running from smooth ambience to gutarall heaviness and still easily holding it's own shape and form. One minute you just want to drift into a deep sleep and the next you want to stamp on all the ill's of the world.

Rarely has such a synthetic sound clawed it's way inside your head only to sit and fester it's benign genius. Quite simply is a track that reeks of perfection.

Heavier than most metal, amazing track.

You've convinced me to get into electronic music more, something I'd never really given a chance. This is an amazing song, very intense. I like it.

Once you have heard Mezzanine you will be instantly smitten. Anyone who says it's a bad album regardless whether they like it or not are tone deaf as far as I'm concerned.

Not necessarily heavier in the traditional sense, but as far as atmosphere goes then definitely.

Broken Bones

A part of the British Hardcore Punk scene from the early 80's that was as influential to crossover punk and thrash bands as the more lauded American bands of the time. Formed as an offshoot of the seminal band Discharge, Broken Bones sound incorporated the ferocity of punk with the Metal orientated sound of early Thrash bands.

What do you mean you have never heard of them? now you have and if this genre is your bag, then this 12" E.P is essential.

Well, I havent got the chance to check out all of these, but hell, Fat Freddy's Drop IS kickin'. Agoraphobic Nosebleed was mind-melting, but somehow amazing at the same time.

Thanks for the recommendations

That was some seriously awesome guitar. Is most their stuff like this or is this song just really good? I gotta check these guys out.
