I will listen soon. I've only become familiar with Wrists of Kings, and it's very good.

I paid a good $15 for it, I should listen to it already.

Txus 11-05-2006 05:29 PM

I've never liked them that much, I already had that album...sorry bro :(

[QUOTE=blueyxd;13574198]So didn't anyone listen to The Evpatoria Report that I sent for the daily upload the other day?[/QUOTE]

The link has been taken down, so I can't download it. :(

blueyxd 11-05-2006 05:57 PM

danmn oh well
I had to replace The Album Leaf with that since Txus uploaded it the day before mine was going out :p

[QUOTE=bwnstl;13574126]Really? I'm actually not so much a fan of Firduous e Bareen. On first listen, the stand out tracks were Wrists of Kings, Not in Rivers But in Drops, and Dulcinea. Now I decided the strongest tracks are Wrists of Kings, Dulcinea, and Garden of Light. I think Garden of Light is actually one of Isis' best songs, period.[/QUOTE]

I think Garden of Light sounds entirely too much like Dulcinea. I'll keep listening though, heh.

Hmm, they have approximately the same formula, so I can understand where you're coming from. I guess that also explains why they're my two favorite tracks on the album. :)

Dr. Jake Destructo 11-05-2006 07:30 PM

The first chord is the same, so instantly I'm like "shoot, this isn't as cool as Dulcinea."

After that it does deviate as much as Isis tends to deviate, but since the first few seconds are nearly identical I can't get the similarities out of my head. :p

I think the thing that I like so much about Firdous E Bareen is that there are elements in that song that I've never heard from Isis. Using the tabla that way, some of the textural guitar-work, they sound one-off to me. This is something I can appreciate.

I guess I'm the only post rocker around here who hasn't given Isis' new one a proper listen yet. I've got it, I just need to sit down with it.

You're not alone, man. It's been wasting away in my library for a while now.

I really should listen to it, but I'm on something of a Kyuss binge.

niobium 11-05-2006 08:24 PM

Just finishing up Wrists of Kings. It's pretty solid.

Nepenthe 11-08-2006 09:25 PM

Fools, it's their greatest yet.

BurningSky 11-08-2006 10:09 PM

I'm not a fan of Isis. I've listened to a couple of albums, and it just isn't my cup of tea. Godspeed has REALLY grown on me, though. I didn't like them much at first, but now Raise Your Antennaes to Heaven is one of my favorite albums...

anyone heard ZIDANE: A 21ST CENTURY PORTRAIT soundtrack yet?

ATM 11-09-2006 08:52 AM

I thought about downloading it, is it any good?

Txus 11-09-2006 08:53 AM

I've never heard of it :(

ATM 11-09-2006 08:57 AM

[i]Mogwai's slow-shifting, meteoric post-rock might have never earnt them a place on the back-of-the-nets montage on Match Of The Day, but their soundtrack to Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait suggests that for this band, football boasts a deeper emotional palette than the Lightning Seeds could ever hope to evoke. Truthfully, it beggars belief it's taken Mogwai so long to reach the rarefied sphere of movie soundtracker; their gleaming, glittering instrumentals are big and beautiful, like a glacier or a blue whale. But supplying the score to Turner Prize artist Douglas Gordon's match-long portrait of French footballer Zinédine Zidane, is probably a subject somewhat closer to their hearts. Lilting and ponderous, it boasts little of the fireworks that this band have been known for: far from the anger its name suggests, "Wake Up and Go Berserk" is a neat excursion into serene ambience, all finger-picked semi-acoustic guitars and padded sticks, while "It Would Have Happened Anyway" adds that crucial tension, perhaps a product of the pre-penalty kick. Mogwai's spirit has soften in recent years, but with Zidane, the boys done good: call it a "Nessun Dorma" for the experimental rock set. --Louis Pattison

Txus 11-09-2006 09:07 AM

Oh I see. I think I won't like it that much, I don't like Mogwai (I know, OMGF what's wrong with you?) and I don't like Zidane :p

ATM 11-09-2006 09:09 AM

Haha fair enough. My girlfriend and I named her bong [i]Zinédine Zibong[/i] :-D

Txus 11-09-2006 09:13 AM

:lol: That sounds like a cool thing. God, I hate the whole french team...and Mogwai really bore me.

NP: Isis And Aereogramme - Low Tide :cool:

Oh c'mon don't come here and tell me you support that bitch Mazzeratti!

:mad:

BurningSky 11-09-2006 12:32 PM

Mogwai is okay, but I like Do Make Say Think much better...

How long is that collab?

Chris - GG on the bong name. :lol:

Kage 11-09-2006 02:25 PM

48 minutes.

the2stranger 11-09-2006 02:33 PM

I've had it for two months or so, still haven't lsistend to them. :-\

It might be because I dislike Isis' vocals.
I love the guitarowrk and all, but the vocals....meh.

Txus 11-09-2006 05:43 PM

There's really little Isi-like vocals in that collab.

Auberge le Mouton Noir 11-09-2006 06:03 PM

ANy of you guys like[I] A Silver Mt Zion[/I] in any of their many incantations?

Txus 11-09-2006 06:06 PM

I love them. [I]He Has Left Us Alone But Shafts of Light Sometimes Grace the Corners of Our Rooms[/I] is my favorite album by them.
