[b]Efterklang - Kloy Gyn[/b]

Something about "electronic stuff" got my attention. I hope it's not some repetitive dance.

Ooh, no, Bjork and Mum comes to mind straight away. A dreamy soundscape with an electric piano/glock thing, reverby cave noises and percussion similar to someone eating biscuts next to the mic. Very soft and ambient, just the kind of thing I love. It has a steady beat, which is usually a plus for me. Some soft trumpets or horns are playing along a bit now.

There are some electronic elements showing through, mostly as effects on the drums. It's so calm and melodic. It's great. The singer starts, very soft voiced male, I cant tell what he is saying since its a bit muffled. But I don't care.

The real drums come in later on, the music is building slowly, at just the right pace that you don't notice it and you don't get bored either. Theres so much stuff that wasn't happening before, but it's like it was always there.

It's 7 minutes long, but goes by quickly... Uh, points off for the sudden ending, I reckon that song needs an ending that floats away instead. It was perfect up until now.


The reason I do FL's is to find music like this, and hopefully give back as good in return. Awsome stuff there.
9.8/10

dibs

I think I have heard the majority of the GLC singles but have never heard this song. I do actually find their songs (in the most part) quite funny but it's not something I would buy. Anyway lets have a listen.....

[B]GLC - Monkey Love[/B]
Starts with a cool little rythem and guitar part and some talking. The lyrics are telling a story which is funny as usual, but the voice is singing rather than the usual brand of Welsh rap. The singin voice however is mock serious and there seems to be an echo effect on it which makes it sound all the more cheesy. There isbacking vocal on the word zoo which repeas the word which also adds to the cheesy humour. There is a small break of rap next which is hilarious.
"Together we can live in the forest, eating berries and kissing eachother"

The style of verses continue, cheesyness and funny lyrics resume. A sense a chorus now with the words:
"I love the Monkey", this bit is really funny.

The lyrics to this song are so good, especially in the storytelling section. I especially enjoyed the bit "until the authorities came and took her away, and gave me one of thos injections for rabies. I still love her and maybe somewhere out there she's listening"...this closes the song

Overall this ong kept me entertained from start to finish so I guess that means it's good. I'm not sure why I don't consider buying their debut 'greatest hits' because they never dissappoint, maybe just not the sort of thing I'd listen to often. Anyway Top Class stuff I'd give it 7-8/10.

I will edit some links to songs here.

Corrosion of Conformity - Stare too Long (Southern style Rock/Metal)

hxxp://s23.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2A9J8OSBE2FNP22QT8E23GDSFG

dibs

From the genre description, I'm not really looking forward to this. I'll try to give it a shot though.

[B]Corrosion of Conformity - Stare too Long [/B]

From the first 10 seconds, I can't help think that this might be what Pink Floyd would have sounded like if they formed in Alabama.

The singing comes in, nothing special. The Chorus is a little sloppy and too much is going on. The drums at the break remind me a little bit of Ringo's drumming in "A day in the Life". Chorus again.

Now the solo isn't too bad. Nothing special, but it fits the song. The guitars work pretty well together at the instrumental part. Chorus again...

The second solo is almost the same as the first, but the other instruments kinda **** it up this time. I actually like the vocal "woo hoos" at this part. The songs ended pretty well, with the guitar squealing long after the other instruments stopped.

Overall, I give it a 6/10. It wasn't bad, but I wouldn't try to get one of their albums

Andrew Bird - Skin is, my

Starts of with some piano and a keys, until the vocals break in (drums with them.) has a pretty catchy verse, and the chorus sounds like a bunch of mumbling. The songs got a very jazz feel, until the distorted guitar comes in at around :50 seconds. There's a barrage of insturments in the background that can be faintly heard and it reminds me of Sufjan too an extent. The songs ok, and the salsa break in the middle is pretty enjoyable.

[B][I]Everyday at 3:05[/I] - Jerome's Dream[/B]

Found it.

The song opens with the buzz of electricity through a wire. Bang, the music starts and it's what I would call frenzied, really good stuff though. Still got a good sense of melody in amongst the craziness. The drums stoke the tempo and are played brutally, but not in a death metal way, just a very strong fashion. Real good stuff.

25 seconds in and you can just about hear some shout/scream vocals, so low in the mix you kinda miss them. Reminds me of Biffy when they play full throttle, just a little rawer, still good though.

The slow section which starts at the 45 second mark is fairly poor. The vocals are still there and they aren't detracting from the music, make quite a nice contrast I would say.

Having already wasted too much time with the slower part the band whip themselves into frenzy again and this is what I enjoy most. The rising and soaring chords kinda remind me of Explosions in the Sky but of course this is very different.

The song chokes itself quickly to finish the music, but the buzz of amps and electricity still carries on for a few moments after.

The song was really good when the band was playing the 'frenzied' stuff but I felt the slow section was pretty poor. Overall, I would rate it a [B]7.5/10[/B]. Will look for some more stuff from them.

Duct Tape - P.O.S; Hip-Hop/Rap - 3:48

Some ethic percussion in this piece, which makes the beat rather interesting. It also containes a fiddle. The rapper's delivery is strong, very strong. He obviously has something to say. The breakdown at 1:38 is kind of weak, and it really isn't needed. But back the the verse at 1:55. More strong delivery, which leads to me believe that this is a very powerful song. The chorus comes around again, and another breakdown, which whispers the chorus. The chorus comes around once again with more intensity. Then the song ends.

Overall the lyrics were top notch (the ones I could hear anyways). His delivery reminds me of eminem, a more serious eminem. I loved the beat and everything else, except the breakdowns. The breakdowns really added nothing, and were a poor way to lead to the next verse/chorus. It's good enough for me to keep though.

7/10

Opeth - Patterns In The Ivy II
hxxp://s36.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2H8IYV0UNIATS1RQB4S139RF02

Ok, I've never knowingly heard anything by this band. From what I've heard about them, I think they're a metal band, but I could be way off.

Opeth - Patterns In The Ivy II

It starts out with a classical-esque guitar and some mellow vocals. Another guitar joins in, reminding me a little bit of "wish you were here", at least in the way they work together. Nothing's really happening, I expected this to be an intro, but it seems to be the basis of the song. Something about manifestation or something is the chorus. The second guitar is going into a solo, it's the highlight of the song, I think it fits pretty well. Okay, so this isn't a metal band. The name of the song seems to fit the music pretty well, as the guitars seem to intertwine and clmb like ivy ( :upset: sorry that I can't find really anything to say about this song)

Overall - 5/10. Not my type of music, but I liked parts of it, I might give them another listen sometime.

They are a metal band, but they just like to pretend (fool themselves) that they're not.

[QUOTE=Tangy zizzle]They are a metal band, but they just like to pretend (fool themselves) that they're not.[/QUOTE]

Ah, okay. That song was really mellow though, so they fooled me too.

I take it that this song is from their new album? I used to like them but they put out the same record every time.

Who are you talking to? If you are talking to me, you don't know what you're talking about. No Opeth album is alike at all.

It wasn't directed at anyone, but it was an accurate (if misguided) call.

Oh yeah, dibs.

Tortoise - [I]Swung from the Gutters[/I]

Quite a jazz-band intro (with the drums). It feels slightly aquatic aswell. I'm hoping the pace will pick up soon. Ooh, it did. This song gives of a sneaky, kinda spy-film buzz. I like it so far. Pretty decent guitarring. I like the jazz breakdown, it's like laternative elevator music. This is cool, but it kinda plods along and stays quite samey. It's changed dynamic, I like it. Very Can-ish, rather twisted and backward. This would be a trip through headphones man. It's reverted back to the main part, nicely done. Yeah a good song.

I'll go with a solid 7/10.

[B]Pink Mountaintops - Bad Boogie Ballin'[/B]

Starts off with electronic beats doing some sort of post-punk jig and weird noises that make the song sound like it's pulled out from a suspense thriller. Then some more sounds come in(a guitar/bass and I dunno what to make of the other one.. accordion?) so now it's very whimsical in an odd way. Nice. It reminds me so much of some stuff from The Kills but this is a lot quirkier, but then a macho vocalist comes in. He's not gruff or anything, his voice just contrasts with the music a lot especially 'cause they're both very repetitious throughout the song. Now it sounds like something from a mystery novel. He chants the "Bad Boogie Ballin'" near the end with a backup "aoohhhhhchhh". I like this song, it's not too serious even if there's not much change in the flow so it's not boring.

Hidden Hand - [I]Sundblood[/I]

Um this has a pretty cool intro, but I've never liked the dudes voice. Pretty standard stuff for the genre, but the urgent drums are nice. It has a decent solo, but this is nothing special. Okay, this has cool instrumentation and luckily enough the guy doesn't sing too much. Definately not one of the Hand's best.
