That was maybe one of the most difficult tasks I had to do. Although The Beatles are officially the most popular band, many people only know the few (and usually overrated) classics, or just the later Psychedelic Beatles. So for the ones that find their albums too many to tackle, here's a comp. Divided them into Earlier and Later Beatles, with a Bonus comp, the musts that were released later on the Beatles Anthology (some alternate versions and unreleased material on there). I will have to thank the Seuss for uploading the comp for me as my internet connection isn't much, and I hope you'll enjoy the compilations. **Many great tracks aren't included in here, as I had to cut my favourites from 125 tracks to 50, so I'm certain a lot of many's favourites didn't make it to the comp. Early Beatles (1963-1965) She Loves You (Singles) 1962 I Want To Hold Your Hand (Singles) 1962 Do You Want To Know A Secret (Please Please Me) 1963 There's A Place (Please Please Me) 1963 Twist And Shout (Please Please Me) 1963 All My Loving (With the Beatles) 1963 Don't Bother Me (With the Beatles) 1963 Till There Was You (With the Beatles) 1963 I Don't Want to Spoil the Party (Beatles for Sale) 1964 Everybody's Trying to Be My Baby (Beatles for Sale) 1964 A Hard Day's Night (A Hard Day's Night) 1964 If I Fell (A Hard Day's Night) 1964 I'm Happy Just To Dance With You (A Hard Day's Night) 1964 And I Love Her (A Hard Day's Night) 1964 Things We Said Today (A Hard Day's Night) 1964 Help! (Help!) 1965 I've Just Seen A Face (Help!) 1965 Yesterday (Help!) 1965 Michelle (Rubber Soul) 1965 Girl (Rubber Soul) 1965 In My Life (Rubber Soul) 1965 Wait (Rubber Soul) 1965 I Feel Fine (Singles) 1965 Day Tripper (Singles) 1965 Rain (Singles) 1966 Later Beatles (1966-1970) Eleanor Rigby (Revolver) 1966 I'm Only Sleeping (Revolver) 1966 For No One (Revolver) 1966 Tomorrow Never Knows (Revolver) 1966 Fool On The Hill (Magical Mystery Tour) 1967 Blue Jay Way (Magical Mystery Tour) 1967 Your Mother Should Know (Magical Mystery Tour) 1967 I Am The Walrus (Magical Mystery Tour) 1967 Strawberry Fields Forever (Magical Mystery Tour) 1967 Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds (Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band) 1967 Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite! (Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band) 1967 A Day In The Life (Sgt.

@Pete: I didn't care for "She Says" by The Blend (not digging the awful guitar) or America Loves Gansters by CunninLynguists (this track has really annoying skipping sounds that play throughout, not sure if that's supposed to be like that...)

Forbidden Colours A Beginner's Guide To David Sylvian http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/_/...vianwire09.jpg genre: avante-garde, ambient electronica, art-rock, minimalist jazz, folk-rock, new wave ^ It's kinda weird how obscure a good 90% of the works of the man born David Alan Batt are, what with how hard they are to find both on and offline. I mean, hell, I don't even have every official album he's been involved with myself, but the below selections account for a good propotion of the man's sound. David Sylvian then...you might have heard a Japan song or two (for whom he was the lead singer), you might have heard the oh-so familiar chimes of Forbidden Colours somewhere before, or you might be completely in the dark. What's important though is that Sylvian is one of the six singer-songwriters that I'll always put a notch or two above just about anyone else in music. Each of the other five have a sense of edge and character unique to them that gives them one over the rest in my eyes, and Sylvian is no different for me. Not only does he have what I'll always see as the joint-best voice to emerge from rock or pop music bar none (well, except the other guy), not only is he adventurous enough to stay consistently intriguing over the course of his 30-odd year professional career...well, I guess I'll let you figure the rest out. Also, it took me fucking ages to put the two below covers together and hotlink several videos to their places in the tracklisting, so it must be worth it eh ;) Part 1: How Little We Need To Be Happy http://i36.tinypic.com/i69zeu.jpg 1. I Surrender [Dead Bees On a Cake] 2. The Healing Place [Gone To Earth] 3. Epiphany [Approaching Silence] 4. Where the Railroad Meets the Sea [Gone To Earth] 5. Orpheus [Secrets Of the Beehive] 6. Red Guitar [Brilliant Trees] 7. Ink In the Well [Brilliant Trees] 8. The Shining Of Things [Dead Bees On a Cake] 9. How Little We Need To Be Happy [Blemish] 10. The Rabbit Skinner [Manafon] 11. Late Night Shopping [Blemish] 12. The Department Of Dead Letters [Manafon] 13. Forbidden Colours (the Cult Of Eurydice) [Secrets Of the Beehive] total running time: 57:02 Part 2: Giant Empty Iron Vessels http://i36.tinypic.com/2w1umx0.jpg 1. Premonition (Giant Empty Iron Vessels) [w/ Holger Czukay - Plight & Premonition] 2. Big Wheels In Shanty Town [Rain Tree Crow - s/t] 3. The Day the Earth Stole Heaven [Nine Horses - Snow Borne Sorrow] 4. Blackwater [Rain Tree Crow - s/t] 5. The Scent Of Magnolia [w/ Ryuichi Sakamoto - World Citizen EP] 6. All Tomorrow's Parties [Japan - Quiet Life] 7. Ghosts [Japan - Tin Drum] 8. My New Career [Japan - Gentlemen Take Polaroids] 9. The Other Side Of Life [Japan - Quiet Life] 10. Canton [Japan - Tin Drum] 11. The Banality Of Evil [Nine Horses - Snow Borne Sorrow] 12. Nightporter [Japan - Gentlemen Take Polaroids] total running time: 78:52 ^ Pics = linksies. Enjoy! I think it's worth mentioning that the track I named the whole comp after's just about my favourite song of all time too, so there! |
It's great that you put this compilation. I'll be checking this out as soon as possible. Thanks, just what I needed.
EDIT: I'm thinking of doing an extensive compilation(s) of Micheal Gira's work that will include all of his projects: Swans (of course), Skin, Angels of Light, Body Lovers/Body Haters and solo stuff. I think it's fitting, since Swans have a new album coming out after 13 years. If anyone is interested in checking that out (those that are not familiar with his work), I warn you, it'll take a while. And my upload speed is crap, but I can do it. I'll be persistent. |
anyone care to make a new order mix? i would love long time.

Phish For Non-Phans, Vol. 1 http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_jBs6ozWyKg...HISH.pond2.jpg To Download, Click Title Above Picture Track Listing: Free [Billy Breathes] 1996 Sample In a Jar [Hoist] 1994 Bouncing Around the Room [Lawn Boy] 1991 Wading in the Velvet Sea [The Story of the Ghost] 1998 My Friend, My Friend [Rift] 1993 Backwards Down the Number Line [Joy] 2009 Character Zero [Billy Breathes] 1996 Waste [Billy Breathes] 1996 Secret Smile [Undermind] 2004 Rift [Rift] 1993 Joy [Joy] 2009 Limb By Limb [The Story of the Ghost] 1998 Brian and Robert [The Story of the Ghost] 1998 Down With Disease [Hoist] 1994 Stealing Time From the Faulty Plan [Joy] 2009 Let Me Lie [Party Time] 2009 Bathtub Gin [Lawn Boy] 1991 Horn [Rift] 1993 Sugar Shack [Joy] 2009 Ghost [The Story of the Ghost] 1998 Gotta Jibboo [Farmhouse] 2000 This is 21 tracks of Phish's most accessible material. It's intended for non-phans, as in people not familiar with the band's material. Their more "poppy" songs are included, as well as songs which definitely showcase the band's sound without alienating people who aren't familiar with their music. Many of the songs included are in .wma format, so if that's a problem, I sincerely apologize in advance. I attempted to put the songs on the compilation in order of most accessible to least accessible, so it can be a gradual process going through the songs and attempting to "get" it. I'll probably get around to making a volume 2, showcasing what are just some of their absolute best songs. |
nice!^ Phish is awesome, hopefully a good number of people will check this out
|
Good call...I started with some of their studio albums but quickly realized the real gold is in their live stuff. I only listen to live Phish these days. Same goes for most jam bands, really.

^Junta is made of God and win, after all :D

I really love Junta too, but I felt like those tracks were a little overwhelming for the overall mix. There will be some in volume 2 for sure!
I may just be wary about Junta because I was "introducing" a friend to the music of Phish, and the live version of "Icculus" came on, and I do believe it scared him. Near the beginning of the song, his commentary was, "Wh...what is Red Rocks? And why...wait, is Trey screaming about being The Edge?!" As can be imagined, the rest of the song only troubled him further. |
Beginner's Guide to Avant-Garde Metal http://imgsrc.hubblesite.org/hu/db/i...4-27-a-web.jpg (Don't ask why I chose a picture of the Cateye Nebula to represent Avant-Garde Metal) When it comes to avant-garde music in general it becomes very hard to find an accurate description of what it's suppose to sound like because its so varied. I've always looked at it as music "above and beyond status quo of other metal styles" be it with their instrumentation, lyrics, arrangement, or just the band in question's vast departure from what they were doing before. I don't think any band is labeled avant-garde initially, it comes with time and maturity, because nearly every band in this mix began as a typical black metal/ death metal/ whatevermetal band, but grew as the years went on. This is a mix of 15 tracks where I've tried to leave out some of the more popular ones in favor of bands who go under the radar of most folks. It's a longer playlist so set aside the time to really listen to it, preferably with headphones. If anybody is interested in any particular artist, just let me know and I'll see what I can do about hooking you up with a full album. Track List As always band names are bolded Song titles are "quoted" Album names are italicized 01. Arcturus - "Kinetic" - The Sham Mirrors (2002) 02. Shining - "Fisheye" - Blackjazz (2010) 03.

It seems Sigh gets mentioned a fair amount around here. Those guys deserve all the attention and praise they can get...Imaginary Sonicscape is one of my favorite metal albums of all time. A lot of people can't handle its "quirkiness" (mostly the stubborn metalhead types) but I loved it from the first power chord.

Yeah, I definitely still have to check out more of their albums. Imaginary Sonicscape has been enough for me until now. Any suggestions on which album to grab next?

Fair enough I guess. I only slightly liked it for a time, then I loved it when I heard the story behind it.

I decided if I made a beginner's guide to avant-garde metal I should also make one for progressive metal. Prog metal has come under some scrutiny, a lot of complaints aimed at the fact that most prog metal bands are less about prog and more about songs that push past the 5 minute mark and usually feature clean vocals. I will be the first to admit that that is a pretty reasonable assertion to make, but just as is with every other genre in the music industry, there will always be gems in the slew of sewage. These are the bands that you can tell spent hour listening to bands like Yes, Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Camel, Genesis, Gentle Giant, etc. This is metal's nod in acknowledgment of progressive rock, and as a prog rock fan I think they do a pretty good job of it. This will be a part 1 as I didn't want to overload anybody with a lengthy list, so if this one proves to be popular, I will be making it's follow-up. 01. Enslaved - "Ethica Odini" - Axioma Ethica Odini (2010) 02. Pain of Salvation - "Undertow" - Remedy (2004) 03. Devin Townsend - "Earth Day" - Terria (2001) 04. Nevermore - "Sentience 6" - This Godless Endeavor (2005) 05. Opeth - "Demon of the Fall" - My Arms, Your Hearse (1998) 06. Between the Buried and Me - "Informal Gluttony" - Colors (2007) 07. Subterranean Masquerade - "Awake" - Suspended Animation Dream (2005) Get On This |
