Phish For Non-Phans, Vol. 1

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.

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.

It's about time we get someone to represent the jam band side of contemporary prog. It's one of the most underrepresented styles on the forum. Nice comp. I'll check it out.

Their live music is definitely where it's at. The majority of my hard drive is (in all honesty) filled with live shows.

Tis' true, but at the same time, I can listen to Junta and Lawn Boy forever.

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


(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. Kadenzza - "Ghost in the Shell" - Second Renaissance (2007)
04. Meshuggah - "Bleed" - obZen (2008)
05. Stolen Babies - "Filistata" - There Be Squabbles Ahead (2006)
06. Vintersorg - "Matrix Odyssey" - The Focusing Blur (2004)
07. Ihsahn - "On The Shores" - After (2010)
08. Diablo Swing Orchestra - " A Tap Dancer's Dilemma" Sing Along Songs For the Damned and Delirious (2009)
09. Kekal - "Violent Society" - 1000 Thoughts of Violence (2003)
10. Manes - "Nobody Wants the Truth" - How the World Came to an End (2007)
11. Peccetum - "Veils of Blue" - Lost in Reverie (2004)
12. Diabolical Masquerade - "Haunted By Horror" - Nightwork (1998)
13. Solefald - "Sun I Call" - An Icelandic Odyssey (2005)
14. In The Woods... - "Kairos!" - Omnio (1997)
15. Sigh - "Requiem - Nostalgia" - Imaginary Sonicscape (2001)

^^This is too tempting. I think I'm gonna let go of my metal guard and download this. I'll see how it goes from there. Thanks LoathsomePete.
