It was, and the best show yet. I will definitely keep you and everyone here posted a little better on the next ones, it definitely won't be the last. See you guys next week at the meet if you're there, I got to get some rest tonight

I just hooked up AvB's Universal Religion 2008 from Ibiza on iTunes. It's some decent oontz. Nothing spectacular, but it's live and has decent energy to it.

I also found an single by Marc Marberg (who I've never heard of before) but the song "Guarana" is some brutal grungy Trance. I'm sure I'll get tired of it soon enough, but for now, this song is sweet!

Here's a remix that's not quite as good as the original, but all I can find on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JELDknsEhw4

So, I did pick up the new Pendulum album In Silico a few weeks ago. Its quite possibly some of the most mainstream Drum and Bass that I've heard in a long time. Great to listen too, but its sugary sweet packaging hurts your teeth after a while. Strangely enough, I get a lot of classic prog-rock feel from the song structure, instead of standard DnB riffs. I've also noticed that they've changed their group in liner notes. Instead of 3 DJs, there are now 2 DJ/Keyboard, 1 Singer/Keyboard/Guitar, 1 Guitar, 1 Bass and 1 Drummer.

Propane Nightmares
Granite

And because I'm too hardcore to care about mainstream DnB, I had to also pick up Evol Intents new one, Era of Diversion. But, strangely enough, they also worked on quite a few crossover songs as well with Messinian, Cypher Linguistics and BANE. I'm actually impressed with how well the album ties together, despite all the seeming randomness. Ooh, also forgot to mention that there are a good collection of IDM style songs. I can't say, though, that they sound all that good. They sound like Aphex Twin, but not really in a good way. They almost sound exactly like Aphex Twin, without any of their own sound mixed in, which is a shame.

Crossover songs:
The Foreward w/ Messinian
Death, Lies and Video Tape w/ Cypher Linguistics
Smoke and Mirrors w/ Adam Bendard of BANE

More traditional DnB stuff
Middle of the Night(Trance + DnB)
Dead On Arrival(More of the horror type stuff they are known for)
8-bit Bitch (Spor Remix) (Again more of the horror type stuff)

Bleh, there is my electronic output for the month.

Although his album was released last year I've been listening to Bon Iver's "For Emma, Forever Ago" quite a bit lately.

This one is for Cory...Slipknot has announced that the new album, "All Hope is Gone" will be released on Roadrunner Records August 26th 2008!! The band promises that the new album will be a blend of 2004's Vol 3 The Subliminal Verses and 2001 Iowa...should be a kick in the teeth and I can't wait...

Fucking sweet! I've been waiting to hear if they were gonna do something new!

I just recorded a new one that is in progress for those that care to listen:

"fletch is dead".

this one has much heavier bass and drums per Nick's past comments.

nick,

you should give the new Portishead album a listen I wonder if you'd like it...

http://www.amazon.com/Third-Portishe...4188944&sr=8-1

Never really been a Portishead fan. They've always felt, to me anyway, like they are treading well worn ground with nothing much new to add, except for a singer I don't like much. Everything sounds good, but not great. I think I'd give them more credit if they dumped the singer and worked on fleshing out the arrangements more, but I doubt they'd do that since her vocals are such a central point of why they are so popular.

I don't think he was talking to you koan.

Sounds good! I like the drums, sound like a nice 1st wave industrial Test Dept.-ish beat. Only comments I have would be to compress the highs a little bit. I don't know if its my shitty headphones, but they seemed overly loud to me.

Hehe, there are only like 20 Nick's on this board now, but I figure I'd throw in my opinion anyway. Unwanted or not :p

How impressive

you don't like exactly what I do like.:lol:

if they did flesh out the arrangements, they really wouldn't be the same band.


I was talking to sonder, you listen to weird stuff.

I do have to admit, though, that the Machine Gun track is pretty sweet.

Yes I like portishead. I hadn't heard the new album though. Thanks for the link.

Can I pretend my name is Nick so I can say this: "Portishead sucks".

Is this where we make fun of you for liking a bunch of douchebags who only wish they were Gwar's retarded stepchildren? :lol:

Big talk from someone who listens to Kanye West...

your opinion is void to me

Oh boy :lol:

Music taste debates are the bestest :lol:

A debate might occur if I gave a crap...




[whispers] i dont [/W]

+elevently billion...BTW if anybody is related to GWAR its Lordi...but GWAR sucks and Lordi kicks ass!
