I just discovered Ayreon. I love it.

Do yourself a favor and immediately pick this album up. You're welcome.

Also, if you like Ayreon but sometimes are a little put off by the ridiculousness of the lyrics, etc, you should check out Guilt Machine as well. Another Arjen Lucassen project. I think it's fantastic.

 

[Blackheim]

New stuff over the last week or 2:

Confessor - The Secret

Deathwish - Demon Preacher

Mao Abe - Soba Ni Ite

Chiaki Ishikawa - Ruisen

 

[Hop]

Crooked Saws - Mo'Fi (blues rock) // Leche de Tigre - Lactophilia (Latin folk instrumental)
Mafia Track Suit - Mafia Track Suit (power-pop) // Jim's Big Ego - Noplace Like Nowhere (alternative/pop)

Bit of shameless self-promotion in mentioning them (they're part of a bundle I'm running) but I do genuinely like these bands.

 

[dralla]

really not a great singer, but the music as a whole is..delicious

 

[kylej]

Beat Happening - You Turn Me Onr

good man

 

[Ketch]

I used to think pop music sucked, but then I realized it's just the radio that sucks. I've been on this massive indie/alt pop love fest recently... I just can't get enough of shit like:

Two Door Cinema Club - I Can Talk

Foster the People - Don't Stop


Please post more stuff like this so I can get my fix.

 

[mYm|17|]

Of Monsters and Men - My Head is an Animal
Trampled by Turtles - Stars and Satellites

I made a spotify playlist just for you, and I know you may be thinking he had that shit already made...No I made that just for you, you must at least open it once lol.

 

[Ketch]

Opening now.


Edit: Mac OSX doesn't recognize internet addresses starting with "spotify:" =( Am I doing it wrong?

Edit #2: Standby, I'm figuring it out, thanks for the playlist. =)

Yea, nope it says "Playlist is currently empty"

 

[mattiewheels]

Massive Attack

Been really getting into Triphop. I've heard lots of songs from the genre before but never knew it was a genre of its own.

Listen to Tricky's first album, Maxinquaye. Incredible. Pre-Millineum Tension is his next, and it's pretty great too.

 

[Stairouais]

I just discovered Fake Limbs, thanks to Steve Albini on Reddit.

The right amount of abrasiveness i needed.

 

[HiResDes]

Yo built in spotify links, next level ish, nice

Gonna check out this Fake Limbs album, been wearing the latest Cloud Nothings out because it's so short.

 

[Clear]

Bomb The Bass's 1991 masterpiece "Unknown Territory". 21 years on and it still sounds like the future to me.

Great, undervalued record.

 

[MrOogieBoogie]

I've recently been addicted to these three albums (all available on Spotify):

Hammock - Raising Your Voice... Trying to Stop an Echo

Zion I - Mind Over Matter

Zion I - True & Livin'

 

[Rich Uncle Skeleton]

It's a very nice listen. Nothing surprising coming from him, but it doesn't need to be. It's a softer, more electronic/droney Wind's Poem. If you liked the softer tracks from Wind's Poem (Ancient Questions, Between Two Mysteries, Wind Speaks) you'll really enjoy this album.

I have a feeling that Ocean Roar, which comes out int September, will be a lot heavier because the track on Clear Moon that speaks about the Ocean delves into some pretty extreme black metal near the end.

Holy shit, hype! God, I love Mount Eerie. Had no idea this album was coming out so soon. Can't wait!

As for what I'm listening to:

• Cloud Nothings -- Attack on Memory
• Grimes -- Visions
• Yamantaka // Sonic Titan -- Yt // St
• Talk Talk -- Laughing Stock

 

[Vanillalite]

I wish the frick'n MBV remasters were something out in the US. Grrrrrrr!

 

[Mr_Zombie]

Do yourself a favor and immediately pick this album up. You're welcome.

I'll check it up, thanks.

Also, if you like Ayreon but sometimes are a little put off by the ridiculousness of the lyrics, etc, you should check out Guilt Machine as well. Another Arjen Lucassen project. I think it's fantastic.

The good thing about listening to songs that aren't in your mother language is that you can turn off the "translating module" in your brain and just enjoy the music and voices Fortunately, I don't have to do that in this case. They lyrics, while cheesy, aren't that bad. And it's kind of cool how the albums create a story.

But after I deal with Ayreon I will try Guilt Machine too.

And speaking of finally holding them:

Conan - Monnos (my album of the year 2012 so far, just slightly surpasses the Pallbearer record)

and

James Blackshaw - Love is the Plan, the Plan is Death

Honestly, probably my favorite album of his. His switch from the 12-string to the 6-string is absolutely MONUMENTAL, gives the entire album this redolent tinge, like it harkens back to an ethereal medieval past. Absolutely wonderful. Her Smoke Rose Up Forever is one of my favorite songs of the year.

 

[Creamium]

 

[Riptwo]

Drokk: Music inspired by Mega​-​City One

This is the rejected soundtrack to the new Judge Dredd movie by Geoff Barrow of Portishead. It's got a total John Carpenter vibe, and I'm totally into it.

Not amazing, but there's some catchy songs. ScarJo's voice isn't amazing, but it fits the type of songs in the album.

It's crazy how I think everyone that comes in here has good taste for the most part, seems radically different than it was a few years ago.

 

[aj8bit]

Electric Guest - Under the Gun

Danger Mouse overdose.

Loving this whole album. Thanks!

 

[Conciliator]

New Killer Mike/El-P is GREAT. Been listening to that non-stop. Also checked out the recent Burial EP a few times on some late-night drive-homes; it's pretty good. Also revisited some of the Lightning Bolt albums recently.

EDIT: I find myself less and less interested in 'songs' right now for some reason. If I'm not listening to hip-hop it's usually something that's about a certain texture or ambience or atmosphere.

 

[Metalmarc]

A lot of Devin Townsend Stuff

Especially the 4 Devin Townsend Project albums

Addicted which is kinda Metal/pop/rock/prog/industrial

ki - kinda prog/blues/metal with ambient moments

and

Deconstuction - metal/rock/symphonic probally the closest as we are gonna get to metal from devin these days since he abandoned SYL

Ghost - Progressive rock, experimental rock, new age, ambient

and also Ziltoid

Progressive metal, industrial metal, extreme metal, comedy rock - id call it a space rock opera about a alien wanting the perfect cup of black coffee

Cannot stress enough how much I am enjoying this album. Good on me for listening to Music Choice "Sounds of the Season" channel and hearing a song (Zero G) from this (which I cannot find on youtube, I think the album must be blocked there). Seems they play a bunch of downtempo-esque music while there's no particular "season" with a "sound."

 

[?oe?oe]

^Wow, such a top quality album.

 

[Dr.Acula]

Aline Morales

Just heard her the other day on CBC radio. She's from Toronto by way of Brazil, and I'm kinda digging it. Pretty nice. Went into the record shop, and the guy there said it was selling really well for a local record.

 

[AnGer]

Kraftklub - Mit K (will see them live at the end of may)

Rams' Pocket Radio - Trajectories

Austin Wintory - Journey OST

Keane - Strangeland

The Dandy Warhols - This Machine

Deaf Havana - Fools And Worthless Liars

Various Artists - Mercedes-Benz mixed tape Vol. 45 "Vision Diamond"

Pretty much what I'm mainly listening to right now.

 

[hawkshockey11]

Soo Good.

 

[Stairouais]

Holy shit.

 

[Kad5]

Ne Obliviscaris-Portal of I. This is the best Metal album I have heard in years. If you love metal get it.

Killer Mike & El-P- R.A.P. Music. And this is not only my favorite hip-hop album this year but possibly within the last two years.

Death Grips- The Money Store. This is pretty experimental for a hip-hop album but I personally enjoy it. Industrial is the best way to describe it. Give it a listen. I can't guarantee you will like it but if you enjoy industrial and music with a "punk aesthetic" you might like this.
