Why not a thread to share the albums you are currently listening to? First of all it shows what are your musical taste, but most of all it's a great way to discover new bands!
For example, right now, I'm listening to :
THE COUNT NOSFERATU KOMMANDO - Ultraviolence Über Alles (2002)
(http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_9f2562oq8vM/R_u__ftf5fI/AAAAAAAAANI/Ia1uyspQuPM/s320/Count+Nosferatu+Kommando+-+Ultraviolence+%C3%9Cber+Alles+%282002%29.jpg)
-
Extract : => The CNK [Ultraviolence Über Alles] - Love Game Over <= (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hv5I-JhN8w)
Debut album of The Count Nosferatu Kommand (also know as The CNK, also know as The Cosa Nostra Klub). Published on Season Of Mist, it's the parallel project of Rose Heimarr, the singer of Anorexia Nervosa. On this project, he abandon the brutal symphonic black metal for someting more slow, electronic and less organic. The music is a crossover between industrial techno, black and death metal. It's not the most "easy listening music" ever, but I found they are really good at it (I'm usually not a big fan of any industrial music). This debut album, as original CD, is nowaday unfoundable (but a reissue is planned for november). They released a second album couples years after who's another masterpiece (but less industrial / more symphonic). After a hard night such as yesterday's one, it helps to wake up :) .
-
So I'll join the thread :)
As I'm sitting in work I tend to listen to different stuff all the time - just to avoid listening to the same thing over and over again - so any genre, any artist, anything just to kill the silence (or office noise sometimes). At this particular moment Diablo Swing Orchestra (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RR7mWZuFYsQ) can be heard in my headphones. A little less hard than CNK but it makes nice ambient sound for programming :)
-
On myu playlist is mostly Lady Gaga and Christing Aguilera but got some more spicy stuff like Girls Aloud and violent Black Gangsta Hip Hop - Gansta Rap Made Me Do It :D
-
It's not true - baal has only Waszka G (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCLCgfG4-qM) and Disco Polo Boys (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chRkE6v32Cs) on his playlist!
Ja to pie**** i zdejmuje kominiare

from the new stuff I'd recommend the new Riverside album (Anno Domini High Definition), its pretty good imo. sounds a bit similar to Lateralus from Tool, with a different taste. Also Lunatic Soul (Riverside's vocalist solo project) is pretty allright.
in general I listen to a lot of reggae, some jazz (john zorn for example), I also collect all Mike Patton's projects, and then goes something called "progressive metal / rock" or whatever, point is I don't really categorize music, all these terms are pretty *cenzura*ed up anyway and don't reflect reality in most cases.
-
Recently I mostly listen to chiptunes/bitpop like Slagsmålsklubben or Din Stalker. Except from that there's always plenty of Mindless Self Indulgence, DJ Slade (too bad he never released an LP, his musical prowess is magnificent), Akira Yamaoka and old hip-hop/electro on my playlist.
Oh, and btw, IAM rules :)
-
At this particular moment Diablo Swing Orchestra (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RR7mWZuFYsQ) can be heard in my headphones.
This band rocks! I'm particulary fan of almost everything released on Ascendance Records. This label just kick ass!

It's especially hard to classify when it's about Mike Patton. I thing his music can be classified under the appelation "Mike Patton's Madness Rock" or sth alike :D
Now Listening :
ORPHANED LAND - Mabool (2004)
(http://freemindrecords.com.br/lojaonline/images/ol_mabool.jpg)
-
Extract : => Orphaned Land [Mabool] - Norra El Norra <= (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0u-nB_C_kEs)
A masterpiece of Israelian progressive metal. It's sing sometimes in hebrew, sometimes in english, sometimes in arabic. The music includes a lot of traditionnals instruments and melodies. This CD is just a *cenzura*in masterpiece for everyone who like melodic and really rich metal (and for people liking music in general : some friends who hate metal loved it!).
-
i listen to all kind of music, often it's folk f.e. Hevia-Busindre Reel (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFRDT2dvBbc), or smth faster Plebania-Traktaty (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5R6hncvCOo).
-
I listen to various kinds of music. Pretty much any genre offers something interesting.
Now playing: Altar of Plagues - White Tomb
Classified by wikipedia as post-rock/ambient black metal. Check it out, decent stuff.

Wow, I listened to Earth : As a womb and it's just amazingly beautyful :D . My girlfriend is sleeping so I've to listen to it only with my bad quality hear player. Can't wait till tomorrow to listen to it in a descent quality!

Wow, you made me want to look deep in my CD shelf :
VARIOUS ARTISTS - Excalibur (1998)
(http://graphics.musicme.com/jpg343/u5099749271326.jpg)
-
Extract : => Alain Simon [Excalibur] - Celtic Dream <= (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JklTo2gX2j0)
A cool CD about the legend of king arthur and excalibur in which a lot of artists are coming to participate. Not the CD of the year but even thought some peoples participations are not unforgettable, there is some really cool materials. I really love the song I paste as extract from example. Enjoy.
-
KERRY JAMES - A L'Ombre Du Show Business (2008)
(http://www.undergroundpower.fr/undergroundpower/cover/kery-james-a-l-ombre-du-show-business.jpg)
-
Extract : => Kerry James [A L'ombre du Show Business] - Le Combat Continue part III <= (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZaRxpmyD_A)
Some really cool rap du get up. It's not hardcore and violent, but neither slow and boring. It's a perfect middle as for a morning. The instrumental is OK, but I really love his flow and the way he build his lyrics (as for lyrics writting, it's really technical with a lot of interresting rhymes and cool metaphorical pictures). The lyrics themself are also cool (kind of positive : pushing people to more education and respect, calling to peace and explaining some socio-political problems in france). I think I'll translate them more or less soon ;) . And I foudn the esthetic of the clip really interresting (just sad that part of this song get cut off so that it's shorter). And the artwork of the CD look just great with some beautyfuls black and white pictures. Good morning everyone.

This thread is not really active... But feel like feeding it anyway. Does it disturb anyone?
So, now I'm listening to :
PHAZM - Cornestone of the Macabre (2008)
(http://ring.cdandlp.com/osmoseproductions/photo_grande/113736069.jpg)
-
Extract : => Phazm [Antebellum Death'n'Roll] - How to become a God <= (http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x4orkz_phazm-how-to-become-a-god-live-a-na_music)
First of all, sorry for the link, it's not from the right album, but I didn't find anything from this album on the web. It's a french band playing kind of southern death metal, relly groovy and rock'n'roll. Really cool stuff close in the ambiance to the one of movies like "house of 1000 corpses" or "devil's reject" (althought music is not really alike to rob zombie's one). Enjoy :D
-
@ disturbing - as long as you're not going to flame people or post stupid stuff (like retarded etc) nobody honestly gives a *cenzura*, so no worries :)
I haven't checked the tunes out yet, but I will. thanks for posting them
-
Well, maybe I'll follow with some more stuff I listen to.
Now playing:
Te Tris - Czekalem Dlugo - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4WftQCPan4&feature=related
One of my favorite's Polish rappers. I love the flow of this guy. Lyrics are acceptable and not irritating (like they're not some ridiculous piece of crap about gangsters, parties and expensive fur coats, but they're not to much of a poem you say 'wow' once you hear it either). The beat is uneven at times, some songs have really good beats, some are rather forgettable and uninteresting. Still, the whole thing is definitely worth checking out.
Extract above is a part of his mixtape - full version is available to download legally and freely (link in the description of the video).
Te Tris released his first LP ('Dwuznacznie') quite recently (9.9.09) - you can check it out on youtube too - some extracts:
Te Tris - Intr (obudz sie) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXaHr7GO8lU
Te Tris - TeTRock - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMHFAMr1oHE&feature=related
-
Now playing: Imogen Heap - Canvas - Youtube link (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvhI0BxKbbY&feature=PlayList&p=283B6210E366A63B&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=41
Imogen Heap)
Imogen Heap is one of my favourite's female singers. Great lyrics, great voice, beautiful English accent, magnificent instrumentals. The song above is my favourite from her new record 'Ellipse' (released 24.08.2009 in the UK, 28.09.2009 in Poland). If you like the song, check her previous albums 'I Megaphone' and 'Speak for Yourself'. They're a must-know for people who like electronica with influences of both indie pop and rock.
-
I really like the instrumental of Czekałem Długo from Te Tris. SOunds just great althought I have no idea what he is rapping about.
Imogen Heap is a bit less my dope... The voice is grat, but I found the music miss melody in background.
Unfortunatly, I let all my CDs in Germany, but for chance I code most of them in MP3 befoe to come :D .
So, now I'm listening to :
KYLESA - Static Tension (2009)
(http://hidefaudio.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/61vuoopvrml_ss400_.jpg)
-
Extract : => Kylesa [Static Tension] - Unknow Awareness <= (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AF_uecAA0M4)
One of my favorite slude band. They are from the south of USA and play really interresting music. Based on a sludge base, they go kind of deep in the psychedelic music, thank to the 2 drummer who create a tribal rythm ground. The lead guitarist (also singer... and girl) is pretty amazing live. Ok, because you're nice guys, 2 pics I took from her the last time I've seen them in concerts ^^. She has class 8)

So, now I'm listening to :
BRICK & LACE - Love is Wicked (2009)
(http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_98Kv36DgI1w/RzxkqZkaNGI/AAAAAAAABGE/u25yybhQuKs/s320/brick_lace-love_is_wicked_a%255B1%255D.jpg)
-
Extract : => Brick & Lace [Love is Wicked] - Love is Wicked <= (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QeuRfcsdvc)
Just som R'n'B crap. Usually I don't really enjoy this kind of music... But since it's only raining in Gdansk and I need a bit of sun to survive... I look for the sun in the music :lol: .
Don't need to look to far for that song, just easy melody and "ass-moving" rythm. But sometimes its good ^^
-
Currently I'm pretty much into that :
MASTODON - Remission (2002)
(http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Nf-R8Os1BVA/SRYlfcH6YJI/AAAAAAAAAsk/1czB7oWyzQg/s320/artwork.jpg)
-
Extract : => Mastodon [Remission] - Crusher Destroyer <= (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kl6AePKtj3I)
Really awesome technical metal. Sounds brutal at the first listen, but the Drummer make all the work to make it really interresting. This men as an Amazing groove. And the vintage distorsion on the guitars make it unique and tasteful :D
-
For me Ambient ambient ambient.
Here try this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKtcrZ6SaLA - Polish guys from Wroclaw video made by A. Baginski.
From more popular ambient Try Ulver http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzqxr7WFzuI (wait for last 30 sec of the song)
Ulf Soderberg, Sephiroth http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjZUYACEmec ( its tribal ambient)
There is alot of good elect. music try Koop, Tosca, Fluke or Amon Tobin.
About rock and stuff Tool, Deftones, Nin and Digital hardcore (alec empire, Atari tennage riot) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74XranJcH6s
Enjoy
-
From more popular ambient Try Ulver
I love Ulver :D . This song is great, but there 1st and 3rd albums count as part of my favorites albums (in general).
ULVER - Bergtatt (1994, 1st album)
(http://img256.imageshack.us/img256/492/3089.jpg)
Extract : => Ulver [Bergtatt] - I Troldskog Faren Vild <= (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNyIWBCFq5Y)
ULVER - Nattens Madrigal (1996, 3rd album)
(http://img256.imageshack.us/img256/3056/3091.jpg)
Extract : => Ulver [Nattens Madrigal] - Wolf and Hatred <= (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9IJLostR0k)
The second album is less interresting... It's mainly bad quality folk music. But in a global view of there carrer, this group is just awesome.
For Job Karma, thank you, I didn't know, and it sounds really good. For Sephiroth, I'm less fan. It sounds for me alike to all the Drone scene (with Earth, Boris, Sunn O))), Orthodox...) and I find it quite boring '^^.
For Alec Empire, not that much my dope either. Too synthetic. In electronic music, I like more Amon Tobin (as you quote him, just great :D ), DJ Shadow, Squarepusher, Venetian Snare (my electro God!), St Germain, Justice, High Tone, Electro Deluxe, Le Peuple de l'Herbe...etc
Something that you should like if you like quiet music with some electro stuff in it (this song has actually quite a lot) :
EZ3kiel - Naphtaline (2007)
(http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/4553/fx062cover300.jpg)
-
Extract : => EZ3kiel [Naphtaline] - Le Lac des Signes <= (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0h89w6ObLU)
This band is also great, one of my favorite. it's 3 musicians / programmists / artwork designers who creates some kind of... Strange music. They are usually related to the Dub scene (because that's were they began) but the music cross a lot of border : trip hop, post rock, classical, rap, noise, ambiant, indus and even grindcore. But everytime with this kind of melancolic / steampunk ambiance. The lives are also awesome with the great videos created by the bassist. The instruments are trigged so that the music and the videos responds to each other. And the artworks of the CDs are always from this bassist ... I let you appreciate (he also realised the clip I linked under the over) :

Most of the new music I listen to comes from all kinds of soundtracks, which so far is the best method I found to discover stuff I've never heard before. The other thing is that I would never give a second thought to some music pieces until I've heard them while watching a movie and from then on they are forever tied to some image or emotion which are replayed whenever I hear the music/vocals/noise again 8)
Currently I have the following OSTs on my playlist (in no particular order): Life, True Blood, Weeds, House (tv series), This Is England, Lord of War, The Boat that Rocked, Watchmen, Juno (all of them recommmended, for audio&visual pleasure alike)
Apart from that: Royksopp, Boby McFerrin, Feist, Muddy Waters, Robert Johnson, TV on the Radio, Nina Simone, NIN, Pati Yang, The Cimarons, Saint Germain plus lots&lots of different and truly wierd stuff in so called "various" directory
-
how's the true blood soundtrack? the main tune was kinda pro, but I've never listened to much of what was going on in the background of the movie.
the series is allright I guess, after first 2 episodes it felt like utter crap, then the story went on, sort of interesting (although the dumb blondie here wannabe still plays on my nerves :) )
-
True Blood intro song rocks, the others mostly serve as background (though I'd probably like Slim Harpo's Strange Love and Lee Dorsey's Give It Up on their own anyway), but are well chosen for the series (which is supported by the fact that the music did not stand out enough for you to take a note of it ;))
The series would be much better if it wasn't for the dumb blonde, but then again it's her and the forbidden love theme that have drawn the "usually-staying-off-the-vampiric-movies" crowd and made it such a popular success. Luckily she served her apparent purpose in the second series, finally showing some T&A, but what the hell took them so long? ;) I'm only wondering how (if?) that crowd made it through the second season with hearts being ripped out of people's chests, tree of intestines, HC orgies and such :D
-
Thanks for EZ3kiel they are preety cool.
About Ulver if i remember good, they started as Black metal or something similar. For me Perdition City is best :P
DJ Shadow, Squarepusher, High Tone, are preety good i will see other ones.
About True blood ost, its preety decent specialy opening (Jace Everett - Bad Things) For me, first season was nightmare especialy Sookie (yes that ugly blondie :P) Second is nice.
What about acidjazz and doom jazz?
try this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-P4CmKGca5Q
from chillout my favorites:
Bonobo, Air, Thievery Corporation ,Massive Attack, Moby, Zero 7
tho lot of em are a bit triphop, and well its all elcetro :P
-
@ Zaraz
Try soundtrack from "Dexter" - highly recommended :wink: Of course if you haven't heard it before :)
-
indeed, if you like soundtracks, "Dexter" is the way to go :)
-
About Ulver if i remember good, they started as Black metal or something similar. For me Perdition City is best :P
Right, they started as Black Metal. The first demo was really noise-like, almost unhearable. The first album really "peaceful black metal" with mostly quiet vocals and aethered production (for Black Metal). It was a revolution when it was released. Second album was a folk music CD... Not really good in my opinion and the Third a masterpiece of raw aggressif black metal. I put som links in the previous post ;)
What about acidjazz and doom jazz?
try this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-P4CmKGca5Q
I don't really know those kinds of music. But from what I heared of it, it's really cool :). I don't know much about Jazz. I mainly listen to Pat Metheny of some old good gipsy guitarists (django, al di meola, john mc lauthin... etc).
I didn't quote them, but I also like a lot Bonobo, Massive Attack, Moby as you say. Good relaxing (or romantic) music.
I was speaking about Venetian Snares, here are some songs :
VENETIAN SNARES - Rossz csillag alatt született (2005)
(http://img692.imageshack.us/img692/5023/musiccatalog5cv5cvenetil.jpg)
Extract : => VENETIAN SNARES [Rossz csillag alatt született] - Hajnal <= (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9beA88_66c)

Extract : => VENETIAN SNARES [Cavalcade of Glee and Dadaist Happy Hardcore Pom Poms] - Swindon <= (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8s-LapyHHow)
2 of my favorites albums of this crazy Artist from Canada (he released about 40 of them in 10 years). Aaron Funk, the men behind the nick, is the DJ and musician, and experiment a lot between each album (from soundtrack ambiant music to speedcore, mainly IDM but also some jazz or jungle album). The first of them I posted is more accoustic. I think it's the first one where he plays real instrument and don't only mix with his machines. The result is just amazing, with a perfect balance of IDM drumming drill and peaceful accoustic melodies. The second is only electronic. From first hear it can sounds a bit chaotic, but it's just... I don't know. My favorite album from him. He worked really a lot on the samples, build complexes architectures (melodic and rythmic). The music in the end is really powerful, really melodic... Just breaking everything around with class. :D
-
Venetian Snares is a powerhouse. My favourite song is Szamar Madar - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upH0IZRgj0I (best part starts at approx. 1:48). If you like breakcore, IDM and the like I also highly recommend checking that guy's [expertknobtwiddler] channel - tons of great stuff there. To name a few: Wisp, The Flashbulb, KnifeHandChop, Pendulum, µ-Ziq and many more. :)
