LIL - Lips In Lush

How about some electro?


LIL - Lips In Lush

This is LIL, a Japanese electro duo. Nothing really fancy to say about this, merely that it is catchy and if you like electro, I see no reason you wouldn't like this. Despite being Japanese the album itself is largely in very understandable English and overall just doesn't have a Japanese sound to it.

This also includes their Tower Records live mix they did from their album release which is also arguably the best thing here, so be sure to give it a listen also, it is very nice.

Juno Reactor - Bible of Dreams

Sorry for the lack of updates, been extremely busy with papers and those come first above all else.


Juno Reactor - Bible of Dreams

This was my first Juno Reactor album and it is absolutely amazing. For those unfamiliar with Juno Reactor, I guarantee you have heard them before. Ever seen the Matrix trilogy? How about the Mortal Kombat movie? You have heard Juno Reactor. Now while this album isn't quite as intense as say Control, Navras or Mona Lisa Overdrive from those films, this is still a great fucking album.

Musically this is more or less goa/psytrance. They are basically the exact same genre. However, unlike the Man With No Name I posted ages ago, this is pretty light in overall sound. There is a lot of world influence here and the songs are very diverse.



Anyway enough praise, if you don't like this album I have nothing to say to you.

Zouzou - L'intégrale

Yé-yé!


Zouzou - L'intégrale

This whole "wait until an hour before midnight before posting" thing seems to be working...

Anyway, I love yé-yé! What is yé-yé? In simple terms, it is 60s French pop with female vocals. This is Zouzou, originally a French model who also did some singing.

This is a fantastic album and should really appeal to quite a large amount of you all. If you enjoy 60s pop, or even 60s rock, as quite a few tracks have an almost Rolling Stones vibe to them, then you should love this. Hell, I certainly love this. In fact, I'd say this my favorite yé-yé album.



Lots of tracks so no tracklist for you.

The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble - From the Stairwell

Late post again.


The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble - From the Stairwell

Keep this simple. New release from the The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble. Who are they? Lovely little group that plays some really nice dark style jazz, almost film noir type stuff with some electronic influence. They have a few other albums but the only other one I've given a serious listen to is their self-titled, which I'll probably upload later eventually.

Just give this a listen.

Give this a listen.

The United States of America - The United States of America

A band named The United States of America from the 1960s started by a registered Communist? You know its gotta be good.


The United States of America - The United States of America

Pretty short post again here, but I'll hit the key points.

Female vocalist, 1968, psychedelic, and fucking awesome. This release is another good example of me really regretting taking so long to look into something. This blew me mind. So fucking underrated.

Too many tracks so no tracklist for you.

Skream - Skream!

Told ya I was honest!


Skream - Skream!

Course that doesn't mean I won't half ass these posts, haha!

Anyway, this is Skream's first album I believe, and this is some fantastic, legit dubstep from 2006. I bet most of you didn't even know dubstep existed back then. If I recall correctly Skream kind of got bad after a while, but at least this album is fantastic.

Shocking News

I'm lazy.


Deal with it.

I'll make not one, not two, but THREE posts tomorrow though. Honest.

Expect some dubstep, 60s psych and... something else.

Scientist - Scientist Rids the World of the Evil Curse of the Vampires

I may hate reggae, but it doesn't mean I don't like the dub.


Scientist - Scientist Rids the World of the Evil Curse of the Vampires

Really though, for anyone of you that know me, you know I generally hate ska and reggae. Dub is an exception though. So for those that don't know, what exactly "dub" is... Take reggae, then strip out everything, leaving only the beat. That is dub.

Also I'm sure many of you are aware of "dubstep" at the moment. Dub is of course the root word however much like other genres, it was essentially hijacked by that wub wub wobble wobble crap. I may post a legit dubstep album later, still thinking.

Anyway, just take a seat and give this a listen.

Miranda Sex Garden - Fairytales of Slavery

I thought for sure I had uploaded this before...


Miranda Sex Garden - Fairytales of Slavery

But apparently I didn't... Anyway this is Miranda Sex Garden, an old gothic rock band to put things simply. This is the only album I have by them but it is quite good. Interestingly enough apparently their 1st album was entirely a cappella also. Needles to say, this is a drastic change from a cappella.

So ultimately what we have here is a gothic rock albun, but there is some really interesting parts to this bands sound. First, is the perfect combination of an intense, and aggressive atmosphere, with the tribalesque drum beats, combined with the extremely ethereal feel of the vocals, the almost shoegazy guitar and the accompanying strings. Course at the same time, no song really sounds the same, and indeed one track is in fact a cappella. Nonethless...

If you liked Cranes, and you better have, you should love this.


God I love that song.

Gravediggaz - 6 Feet Deep

Ahhh! I cry!
As the blood drips inside
Of my eye!


Gravediggaz - 6 Feet Deep

This is my new little hip-hop obsession at the moment. This was the RZA's sideproject shortly after Enter the 36 Chambers came out back in 94'. Also if you are at all familiar with that album, you will most likely love this one as well. Replace the Wu-Tang kung-fu lyricism with cheesy gore and black humor and you have this album.

I can't really recommend this any higher. It is easily one of the best hip-hop albums ever and I am really disappointed in myself for neglecting it for so long.

Gridlink - Orphan

Early adopter, evangelist
Did God walk out on you after gifting you cholera?


Gridlink -Orphan

Gridlink's previous album, Amber Gray was a furious 12 minute return to the sound of Discordance Axis. In fact, it is safe to say Gridlink is basically new Discordance Axis. as it is the same vocalist and guitarist.

While Amber Gray had 11 tracks and was 12 minutes long, Orphan has 12 tracks, and is... 12 minutes long. I'm sensing a fantastic pattern here.

Anyway, if you like grind, or if you like Discordance Axis, which there is little reason not to, give this a listen. This is a contender for grind AOTY with the new Wormrot.

Tracklist

Intestine Baalism - Discography

I originally wanted to post this treat yesterday...


An Anatomy of the Beast


Banquet in the Darkness


Ultimate Instinct

I posted Banquet in the Darkness a few years ago I think, but the link is long dead, so I'm including it here again.

Easily my favorite melodic death metal band. Easily. If you don't like melodeath, I don't care. Listen to this. It may not change your mind, but you'll have an exception to your hate at least.

Each album is fantastic and well worth a listen.

Warning - Watching From A Distance

I'm feeling pretty depressed at the moment, and I'm leaving in a bit, so this is a placeholder for tonight. I'll probably post something depressing or something else...
_________________________________

Still depressed, so depressing it is...


Warning - Watching From A Distance

If you are ever depressed, and want sufficient music to suit that feeling, it doesn't get much better than this album. This album is just soul crushing on a deeply emotional level. Crushing doom riffs mixed with cleanly sung vocals full of sadness and longing.

Normally I would say "lyrics don't matter" but Warning is one of those few exceptions. The lyrics being cleanly sung just sting... so much. Especially when in such a fragile state as when you are depressed.

"In the darkness I unravel new truths I have suffered for so long to embrace.
They will change me from here on. But I can't share it with anyone.
I wish you were with me tonight.
When I am not alone, I sever silent moments;
building bridges with meaningless words and only feel the distance further.
Remember being happy in our silence; I wish that you were with me tonight.
I don't need a reason, there's nothing to explain. I can't reproach your leaving to justify my pain.
But can I really understand. I wish you were with me tonight.
I read over all you wrote me. The words mean so much more these days. They echo in my soul.
They sting me like a bug. Can someone feel too much?
I wish you were here with me tonight."
