en480c4 Posted December 21, 2012 Report Posted December 21, 2012 Neurosis - The Eye of Every Storm Thanks for the recommendation Dusty!
Dusty Chalk Posted December 22, 2012 Report Posted December 22, 2012 Glad you like. [img=http://www.crf2.com/images/smilies/headbanger.gif] Me: Neurosis, The Eye of Every Storm, Spotify 'EP' version (Burn/Shelter/A Season in the Sky/I Can See You). These guys understand patience and how to build up an atmosphere like Ridley Scott did in Alien, and Talk Talk did on Spirit of Eden. I love that riff at 5:07 in "A Season in the Sky", and the song is half over by then. Including that one dissonant chord that sounds 'off' -- there's something so perfectly 'off' about it. Auto-tune must seem so quaint to them. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love a good blast of an album that doesn't let up, like Shotgun Messiah's Violent New Breed -- but too many other bands don't understand how to contrast dynamics like this. They think, "oh, let's just play a ballad", when what they needed to do instead is to just project -- I don't know what, whatever the mood entails -- malice, grief, transformation, an undercurrent of potential energy, a DC offset, premonition of the heaviness to come...something. NOW OATH BREAKDER SINKS LOW... I mean, they can even make a synthesizer throb heavy...

Dusty Chalk Posted December 22, 2012 Report Posted December 22, 2012 Patenbrigade: Wolff, Baustopp! -- you would think from their album cover: ...that they're industrial or sprockets or somesuch, but they're actually very pretty electro, the kind with the words "chill" or "3am" in the title. Varah nahs!

mikeymad Posted December 23, 2012 Report Posted December 23, 2012 Lots of classic Christmas tunes....
Dusty Chalk Posted December 24, 2012 Report Posted December 24, 2012 About the only Christmas music I can tolerate is old school jazz, old school soul, Tchaikovsky, Puppini Sisters, and Reindeer Room. That last of which is what I've been listening to, on and off today. Also, King Crimson, Larks' Tongues in Aspic
Dusty Chalk Posted December 24, 2012 Report Posted December 24, 2012 https://soundcloud.com/olsentwinpeaks'>Olsen Twin Peaks -- they started following me on SoundCloud, I was intrigued by their hilarious name, their own description:Two gay boys with a lot of testosterone and synthesizers...They sure do make a lot of noise for two people.
Dusty Chalk Posted December 25, 2012 Report Posted December 25, 2012 Trans-Siberian Orchestra -- think of it as innoculation against Christmas carols, which are just a little too ear-wormy for me. Also queued up: Scrooge 1970 soundtrack.
Dusty Chalk Posted December 26, 2012 Report Posted December 26, 2012 Big Big Train, English Electric (part one) -- it's like in an alternate universe, Peter Gabriel era Genesis died, and then got reincarnated in this one. (Too convoluted?)

Augsburger Posted December 28, 2012 Report Posted December 28, 2012 Sera Una Noce from MA Recordings at 96K soon to be 172.4K on the next DVD . This is only possible because I roll with a ULN8 and the Molly Dooker Enchanted Path Cab/Shiraz. I highly recommend all of the above, but you can get a good deal on the Sera Una Noce DVD if you draw Brian (BHJazz) for the Christmas gift exchange. Thanks Brian, you got very good taste! Awesome detail in the music.
