Die toten Hosen, Sehnsucht

A typical Hosen song (of the serious kind), sounds kinda like a Mixture of Old Hosen Songs (familiar Rythms, Familiar Rhymes), but has another topic... Its about Human Longing and what it does to us (humans).
Nicely done, but nothing spectaculary new.

For those who don't know die toten Hosen:
Their serious Songs normaly come with dark Guitarre rock (toward Punk). Campinos (Campino is the Lead singer) Voice is rough and deep (allthough not Tom Jones like ;) ).
Several Times more moderate and lot more creative than Rammstein they are my second favorite German (and probably over all) Band right after "Die Ärzte".

Ah, "Nothing Else Matters"... I'll listen to it again right now...
Anyhow, here are groups people might not be aware of, as they are not incredibly mainstream. Possibly no song titles furnished.

Interlace - Swedish Techno-Industrial
(I don't think their genre category does them a justice though. And you do have to spend an hour or two to pick up their method)

Red Shift Mantra- Cosmic Ambience
(They have a good distinct sound)

Love Mongers- Rock
The Wilsons are back from Heart, I don't even know how good they are under this new name, label. I am hoping they have elements from their earlier career in Heart. The same chemistry as "Magic Man" "Crazy on You" and "Dreamboat Annie", hopefully.

***
2 random time-tested songs:

The Doors - "Riders on the Storm"

Aerosmith - "Janie's Got a Gun"

Just finished...

Liquid Tension Experiment - When The Water Breaks

(for the first time, courtesy of Flint)

I'm not even gonna bother describing this. I think saying that it just blew my head off is enough to relate what I thought of it.

now...

King Crimson - The World's My Oyster Soup Kitchen Floor Wax Museum (solos)

Two bizzare/demented solos by two incredibly talented players, in a row.

This and more partial samples can be found in a particular thread here

The Mars Volta, De-Loused In the Comatorium

No, seriously, I've been listening to this for a week now. I just kinda left it in my car CD player.
Since this is supposed to be a concept album, and I couldn't figure out any of the lyrics, I've been listening to this record pretty obsessively. I've deciphered some of the meaning behind, say, the last three tracks. I also found out that their co-lyricist/noisemaker's suicide did not in fact destroy the band, and they are releasing a new album very, very soon. I think before the end of the year. Hoorah!

I think after this I'll switch to something else for a while, though. I don't want to wear out its welcome. Anyone else have albums they listen to constantly for long periods of time?

De-Loused is one of them, I believe.

I don't usually, since I do have a variety available from similar musical veins, but I was in the habit of repeatedly playing King Crimson's "The Power To Believe" over and over last year.

Captain Beefheart's "Trout Mask Replica" and Frank Zappa's "Sheik Yerbouti" can really get stuck with me. As can Gentle Giant's "Octopus", "Acquiring the Taste", "Free Hand", "Power and Glory" and "In A Glass House".

However, the two musical releases that truly and constantly get over-and-over play are King Crimson's "Heavy ConstruKction" (3CD) and "Great Deceiver" (4CD, soon-to-be 5 or 6) box sets. I can't recall a two-week period in recent history when either of those did not find its' way into my listening - usually in full. :roll:

L.A. Style - "Toys (Use It)"

A rave track from the early 90's incorporating the "Captain Kangaroo" theme mixed with some foreboding synths, dramatic piano loops, high-pitched vocals, hard-hitting bass and drum lines, and rap lyrics from a group that's about as close to L.A. as the Belgian techno-rave scene that provided the soundtrack of the underground clubs. An album track from the same group that brought us "James Brown Is Dead".

Braid, Lucky to Be Alive

The ironically-named posthumous live album by another of my favorite bands ever. It really captures Braid's live energy, and in fact some of the recordings I prefer over their studio album counterparts, especially "The New Nathan Detroits" and "Grace Car." And the lyrics-- good God, the lyrics. If I were to try to write lyrics I'd base them on Braid lyrics, and they'd come out much worse. This is why I don't try to write lyrics.

You know it would take a hell of a record for me to listen to without my mind gradually wandering back to the Mars Volta.

"Turn It Around" - 4 Strings

This is the latest CD from this vocal trance group, and at first I found it a bit disappointing. The highlight of 4 Strings has always been the voicework by Vanessa Van Hemmert. On this new compilation she only sings a few of the songs; some new people, male and female, have been brought in. (The liner doesn't even list their names.)

After a week, though, several of the songs have grown on me. I'm counting 6 or 7 that I like, which makes this an A+ CD by my standards.

If you liked their previous hits (Diving, Take Me Away, Let It Rain), some of these new songs may work for you: Come Closer, Until You Love Me, Dolphins Cry, All Around the World.

Cdnow/Amazon has samples.

"Where I End and You Begin" - Radiohead
Album - Hail to the Thief

This song is strange and has a sad feeling to it. What I can quickly derive from the lyrics and title is that it is about a relationship of 2 people. It seems to me that they can't agree with each other and are drifting apart from each other. It contains some electric guitars, drums, and some strange high pitched noise. It is not easy to describe, as is most of Radiohead's music. It may be weird, but I love it and recommend that everyone listen to Radiohead.
Insert clever text/image here.
