"Control" - Alexisonfire

I saw them live two days ago in Seattle, and I can't stop playing their cds. ILOVEALEXISONFIRE (especially George).


say that you're in control
you say that you are
but i can't think of a time
when you looked less alive
Dressed to kill you look so right.
I am drunk with lust tonight.

Robert Fripp - Reflection 1

A soundscape from 'A Blessing of Tears', an album dedicated to the memory of his mother. This particular album differs from the other soundscape album I own, and I'm pretty sure also differs from others, in that it's somewhat more divided spacially (that is, it contains actual separate tracks), but the mood of the whole thing is still so unified and unusual, I can almost... see the music, when I listen to it. It has lots of blue tones. Wonderful active listening material that would make no sense as background music, beyond being a heavy harmonic drone...

Demons & Wizards - "Blood on My Hands"

This is what I get for hanging around with metalheads.

Not that I'm complaining, since I really like the imagery here.

I've regained some respect for you.

Hourglass - Subconscious - "The Hammer's Strike"

Prog rock/metal fusion with jazz influences. I had high hopes for this album, since their debut was so amazing. But they're reusing too-similar tonal structure and chord progressions, and replaced the singer with a worse one. Some fans praise the album as moving forward, because there's more of a mix between mellow and heavy, but I don't see how they can call that moving forward when it sounds like crap. :?

David Sylvian, Robert Fripp and Trey Gunn - Song

Three refreshingly original modern musicians together on stage, and no drummer (or any percussive sounds whatoever). And the music is still as intense as ever. In fact, arguably the drummer-less version suited Sylvian's soft vocals and intricate lyrics better than the still-excellent lineup with Mastelotto at the kit. Sylvian claimed Fripp was too heavy for him, however. Fripp is obviously a very intense, driving player with a highly specialized style, but I still think those two were a perfect match to each other - a shame David didn't think that. You really have some very interesting musical texture going on here, and throughout all of the records and performances of this collaboration.

Sylvian/Fripp/Gunn - Jean the Birdman

No, I'm very serious here. How on earth do you take 3 dry-sounding guitars, a little synth Stick work on the side, and a guy singing weird lyrics, and turn it into a song full of flavour, texture and even intensity.

Dammit. I've said it a few times, but were this band even half as long-lived and stylistically varied as King Crimson (and not the 2 years that it has actually been around), it could easily have grown to become my favorite ever...

Gory Blister - 1000 Eyes

I was very skeptical when I nabbed this track off Blabbermouth, because it's next to impossible to do justice to Death, especially their later work, without Chuck Almighty Schuldiner playing your lead guitar. However, I can't keep my finger off the repeat button for the life of me. The sound is much thicker than Death's original version, more along the lines of a Dismember- or Amon Amarth-style production, and it sounds incredible, even though the lyrics and vocal notes occasionally get away from the singer.

Despite the silly name, this is definitely a band whose original stuff I will be checking out, and I'd recommend them highly to anyone interested in brutal or prog-death. With these guys as well as Ephel Duath, Italy is now officially forgiven for Rhapsody.

Green Carnation - Light of Day, Day of Darkness - "Light of Day, Day of Darkness"

Random review wrote:150 recording tracks, more than 600 samples and more than 30 musicians, including a children’s choir and an opera choir, created a continuous song of 60 minutes that made the music press and fans praise the band as one of the most innovative acts in today’s scene.

This is the most poetically beautiful metal song I've ever heard, and the fact that they manage to maintain some sort of musical and thematic consistency over a 60 minute period without making it a boring song is just damn amazing. Green Carnation gets a damn big thumbs up from me, and I'm a big metal enthusiast.

Why was I not aware of this sooner? I have betrayed my metal affiliation.

Recent Hours:
"Your Rain" - Silent Hill 4 OST
"Master" - Master (single) - Interlace
"Bebe La Strange" - Greatest Hits - Heart
"The 1812" - Born - Bond (Yes, with electric guitar riffs expertly placed)
"Ride" - Shine - Bond (Prior to this I had no idea classical-techno hybrids were possible)
逸れなくて下さい。

I found a Die Toten Hosen CD for about $2. :p

Echo and the Bunnymen, Crocodiles
I actually had Powerman 5000 in my car, but a half-hour CD was threatening to wear terribly thin over the seven or so hours of driving I ended up doing Friday and Saturday before getting home to change it, so I made an emergency stop to pick up some Echo. This is the only Echo album I own or have ever even heard, but it's absolutely fantastic. The ten bonus tracks don't hurt either.

the other CD I got was Kyuss' Blues For the Red Sun. Iz teh Rawk. I found I needed to turn the volume up really high to get anything out of it, though.

Listening to "Fang Reveres the Raiders". This is a new cd out by Fang and the Gang. Phil "Fang" Volk was the bass player and a vocalist for Paul Revier and the Raiders during the 60's. I got to meet Fang and visit at his home last winter on a trip with my friend Gary "Dr. Vox" Hahlbeck. Gary and Fang are old friends. I even did some diagnostic work on Fang's sons car while I was there. We heard some of the pre-production cuts from this cd and Fang sent me a copy when it came out. It has a number of Raiders hits, redone with more updated production. There are some new songs by Fang and one old lost Raiders song, actually recorded live, in a garage, on quarter inch tape.
This is a great ride back to the days of rock and roll, a cd for those who remember the TV show "Where the action is" and the Raiders songs on the radio. http://www.philfangvolk.com/
Where did you say I'm going?.... And what am I doing in a handbasket?

Right this second, I'm listening to techno, but, as usual, I have no idea who made it or the title of the track. This is one of the many cds handed to me by a lovestruck kandee kid last summer, lol.
My latest discovery is a band from Newfoundland called Great Big Sea. These guys rock! I don't know how to describe their music. It's rock, but different. Very upbeat and fun. They do an awesome version of Drunken Sailor. Has anyone ever heard of them?
When I grow up, I want to be just like me!
