Great, thanks

oh davey..... :(

[b]Sage Francis - Masturbate Your Brain[/b]

Wow. this guy can rap. It starts with some distorted guitars which had me excited for a minute, but it quickly breaks into a different beat, containing a double bass and nice drums. The chorus has a cool piano run in it. This guy's obviously quite talented, he can string about 10 seconds of rapping together without breathing, and his diction is top notch (that is, you can understand most of his words) the only gripe that I have with it was that it's too repetitive (the bass hardly changed during the chorus, and the only other instrument was the piano for the short run it does). The change at 2:20 is pretty cool. The shortness of the piece prevent the repetitiveness from getting too annoying. Overall a pretty cool track, I just wished they would include that guitar

7/10

(sorry for the short review, I haven't done one for a while)

Children of bodom - bed of razors (catchy as power metal with screams)
Squarepusher - iambic 9 poetry (electronica)
Kraftwerk - spacelab (electronica, a lot softer than the squarepusher one)
Death in June - nirvana (experimental?)
Allman brothers band - Instrumental illness (11 minute jam)

Tell me which one to upload

i'll take the Allman one, could you upload it?

Can't you try and download it from a p2p?

Bartender do you want it, I don't really feel like uploading a 17mb file to someone who'n not online

Well the only one I've heard of those is the CoB one, so you could upload any of the others. I won't be able to do it tonight though, I'm doing work at the moment and going to bed soon. Sorry.

It's all good, I've been thinking of putting them all in a Winzip file and uploading that. That way the person could upload all the songs and choose which one to do. Easy

I can take one of them.

which one, heh

How about the squarepusher one.

Squarepusher - Iambic 9 Poetry

Thanks.

Squarepusher - Lambic 9 Poetry

I have never heard of this band before.

It starts off very laid back, with a nice mellow bass line. I like it so far. Then the drums kick in , and it sounds as is the drums are too loud compared to everything else in the song. The drumming itself is fine, but it doesn't seem to go anything else. It just seems like the drumming is in a different style then everything else.

It's hard to get past the drumming, but I like everything that is going on in the background. All very melodic. The song slowly starts to build. It sounds better once the volume picks up.

The outro is cool, the tempo has increased and it's very interesting to listen too.

Overall, I thought it was pretty good. The drumming threw me off in the begining, but the longer the track went, the more I liked it.

6.5/10

Louis Logic - Paper Thin
RJD2 -Ghostwriter
UNKLE - Rabbit In Your Headlights
Umphrey's McGee - Wife Soup

Dibs.

I'm a big fan of Endtroducing, and a fledgling fan of Radiohead.
[b]UNKLE - Rabbit in Your Headlights[/b] - 6:20

Starts off with just piano, playing a nice, slow melody. I like piano, so this is going well so far.

Yorke comes in fairly soon (about 20 seconds in), just singing over the piano. A relatively quiet drum beat comes in, slowly building in volume. A tone builds, then suddenly cuts out. I hope the entire song doesn't just consist of Yorke singing over this piano and percussion, with occasional noises; not that it would be a bad song, but it wouldn't give me much to write about.

Ah. Music more or less all cuts out, except for a catching (like a skipping records) beat for a few seconds, and the piano returns shortly, playing a slightly different tune, with a vocal sample, talking about death, I think; very Shadow.

Around 4:19 now. Lots of samples building and washing around, with Yorke wailing over the top. Good stuff, just hard to think what to write about. If I start to describe each individual sample, I'd be here all day. Just suffice to say it's good.

Almost everything cuts out sometime around 5:20, and piano quickly comes back in, shortly followed by a different, slightly more interesting, drum beat. This all fades out slowly, and the song finishes on big swishy noises.

8.5/10, I think. It was really good, but not all that good.

I hope these links still work.

Not dibs, but all those songs except the Shatner one own me

Why? Do the links not work, or do you no longer have time/can't find one you like?

I'll take it.

Birdsongs of the Mesozoic - Centrifuge

It starts off with some heavier sounding piano chords, with lighter piano playing on top of it. The drums come in, and the piano plays a beautiful solo. It sounds very much like classical right there. Some more chords, and more solos on the piano. Very nice and melodic so far.

A breif fill on sitar, I think. It sounds cool, it adds to the whole mood of the song.

Back to the chords, and then the sitar comes back in. Wow this is nice, a flute is now added to the mix. Very beautiful. The instruments are all used very well, it's not overwhelming or anything.

The flute is softly playing over the piano, and sitar.

More chords on the piano, and it ends with the flute coming back in and slowly closing out the song.

Very, very cool track. I had never heard this band, and I would definantly listen to more by them.

8.5/10

RJD2 - Ghostwriter (DJ)
Frank Zappa - Peaches en Regalia (Instrumental)
Ghost - Piper (Rock)
Jedi Mind Tricks - Blood In Blood Out (Underground Rap)
Kasabian - Beneficial Herbs (Alternative)

Ill upload any of them on yousendit if needed.

I'll take dibs on the Ghost one, but I can't do it for a few hours. Feel free to do one if you don't want to wait

and Arrest this man, would you mind putting genres next to your songs please? :)

Fixed

So should I upload the Ghost track?

yep

Ok give me a few minutes.

Sorry, I kinda forgot about this, heh

OK, [b]Ghost - Piper[/b]

Starts with cool as flute and classicial guitar. I like the ambient sounds in the background too. This goes on for a while, but it's ok, because it's very cool. There's some feedback noise then it goes into the rock riff. It's good stuff. There's some vocal harmonies to go with the riff. There's some piano with the vocals now, it accompanies the vocals well. I like the guy's voice, it's quite fitting. The chorus is a bit heavier, but still pretty easy listening. There's a nice solo at about the 3 min mark. The bridge goes into 6/8, and adds this accordian kind of sounding thing, it's great. It kind of just choruses off until it ends. There's a cool keyboard solo though near the end.

I found it good background music, I was constantly drifting off and doing other stuff. A pretty good listen, 8.5/10

Children of bodom - bed of razors (catchy as power metal with screams)
Kraftwerk - spacelab (electronica)
Death in June - nirvana (experimental?)
Allman brothers band - Instrumental illness (11 minute jam)

mine

[b]Kraftwerk - Spacelab[/b]

Theres, a rising whole tone scale played on some soft piano which gets faster and faster to start it off.

Then some synth chords and synth flute make a break between that and the next bit. Simple bass and constant drums with some light effects take it along. The synth chords and flute return, they sound good with it. Nice and ambient, but with a few solid sounds for the ears to latch onto.

It builds a little, with another synth line to counter what's already there. Very "spacey" sound indeed, but not all that futuristic. It has an 80's sound to it, maybe it is from then. An electronic voice says "space lab"... I wonder why...

It carries on much like this for a while, with some slight variations to keep it interesting.

From 3:50 some of it is harmonized and it sounds pretty good.. it goes on until about 5:30, when some annoying sound comes in, and the music fades out quickly to end it. Disappointing finish to that, it was going rather well.

Well.. yeah I liked that, I could zone out easily to it. It was pretty good for the small number of sounds and effects they used to make it. The space theme across was done well in my mind. The ending was the only let down for me. 8.5/10

DIbs.

Fagan - Dante

Starts off with some very atmospheric noises. A girl singer comes in, and she has a good voice. It all sounds very much like a dream. There is lots of nice melodic sounds in the background.
A piano comes in, and plays a soft little melody over the atmospheric music in the background.
The song picks up, and some drums come in. The singer begins to sing over the piano and atmospheric music. It sounds really chill. Very relaxing.
Some strings come in, and a guy singer begins to sing instead of the girl. He has a nice voice.
He starts to sort of rap, and I don't like that as much as the other stuff.
The song builds up to a climax, with a nice stringed instrument in the back soloing. I believe it's a violin.
It ends with the piano playing softly.

Very good song. I would listen to more from this group.

7/10

Dandy Warhols - Nietzsche (Indie) 5:40
 

I myself am not much of a Dandy Warhols fan but I must say this song is proberly one of there best material I have ever herd from them. This song is very dark and gloomy mainly because of this electric like drone for the harmony and the vocals aswell are fantastic and suite the song very well. This song is proberly a bit long but I dont think if you listen to it you would not care because it is a great song and is suited for being long. Overall this song is the best song I have ever herd from the Dandy Warhols. Even though I have only herd a few of there songs I still think it is great compared to the songs I have herd. I would have to give this a great 10/10

Recomendations

Hilltop Hoods - The Calling (Great Aussie hip-hop band)
Gyroscope - Take this for granted (great aussie rock/punk/metal)
koolism - Adrenalin (Another great aussie hip-hop band)

*I am having an aussie theme today

I'm sorry but Aussie hip hop is homosexual. I suggest everyone get the Gyroscope one

will do, no results for Koolism where I looked anyway.

beaze, did you know that song already?
