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)

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?

[b]Gyroscope - Take This For Granted[/b]

Lo fi guitar riff starts.. but it goes normal-fi, with a pop/punk/rockish sound. Sort of clean but powerful vocals. Simple sounding music here, the verse has some slightly ska guitar style. The chorus has some heavier guitar.

This is definitely JJJ material, quite uninspiring to me. Root note bass.. predictable structure.. nothing is exciting me.

At 1:45 however, the music comes right down. There is acoustic guitar, piano too I think. The singer does the chorus here in the acoustic setting, and I think this song would be much better if it was all like this.

It goes back to the heavier chorus style again, the acoustic part didnt last long sadly. And this ends soon after.

I don't have a short attention span, but in the 3:20 this song goes for, I got bored. The energy from live shows is probably the only thing that could interest me in this song.
To say there was anything bad about it is something else, I don't think I can. All the elements by themselves are fine, the combination and final product is simply generic, I'm completely unimpressed.

5/10

No I have completly not herd that song. That is pretty weird if you cant find anything on koolism which is a shame because they are bloody brilliant and I would think that you would of liked Adrenalin better then Take This For Granted by Gyroscope.

yeah, I think I would have liked it more too. I'll just look harder next time.

Dibs.

Going for another Manics song.
[b]Wedding Parties Anything - A Tale They Won't Believe[/b] - 6:56

Expecting a bit of a difficult review here, since sea-shanty is basically another form of folk song, and folk songs often concentrate far more on lyrics and story-telling than musical prowess.

Anyway, starts off jaunty, upbeat; pretty much everything I expected from a folky song (I suppose it could have been the other side of folk, slow and mournful, but I thought it wouldn't be, what with being comedic). Nice bass; mostly just all well done, nothing special. Nice little instrumental touches (flourishes) in the background.

First refrain comes around 1:00, and it's a good one; speeds up, catchy, would be great to sing along with.

Okay, up to about 5:00 in, this is making for a pretty spartan review, since it's essentially a folk song - based almost purely on lyrics, and (since it's designed as, as blue says, a shanty) the frequent repetition of different parts (mostly the chorus, which has made up, with slight adjustments (as the number of travellers keeps dropping :)), about half the song so far. The instrumental aspect of it, though very cool and thoroughly, is similarly repetitive, since it's pretty much the point.

Still, at 5:00 it all changes up a bit. Vocals go away, and it's more purely instrumental; still building up on repetition, but with interruptions of less activity, and sometimes near-silence (bar some percussion). I like the addition of a bit of variety.

The vocals come in again just before 6:00. At this point, he's the last one left, I believe, of the six we started the story with, so let's see what happens...

He got away with it! No one believed him, the murdering bastard. Speaking of bastards, this verse rather cracked me up;

"[i]Now he had been looking at me funny, sort of eyeing me for days,
And you would not need to be too bright to know that bastard's ways,
He was a sick man, he had murder in his heart.
But even bastards have to rest, and even bastards have to sleep
And when he was in the land of nod straight over I did creep,
and the axe that he had wielded now was mine![/i]"

Anyway, 9.5/10. Practically perfect as a folk song; very good instrumentation, great lyrics, and da[font=verdana]m[/font]n funny as well. Thanks, good stuff (sorry for the poor review, but story-telling folk is hard to review).

Serge Gainsbourg - Melody (Extrait de Melody Nelson)

Hhhm, Frenchy like music, who can resist that?
Starts with acoustic bass, and drums.
And all of the sudden a man starts talking, in French.
A few seconds later a rockish guitar can be heard very far away on the background.
The bass is what keeps this song going.
I love French, I can’t speak it very well anymore, but it just sounds like poetry.
The dude could be swearing the entire song long, but It would still sound awesome.
At a certain stage, the bass starts playing some different stuff, at 2:45 someone turns the volume up, and the guitar comes a bit more to the foreground.
Ow, a string composition. Cool.
3:40 the guitar takes over, and a little soloing like parts goes on, ow no, it stops.
Very Arcturus like cello or double bass playing going on.
4:25 a solo of some sort,
And the vocalists still talks about, well I don’t know, but it sounds good.
:amaze: :lol: :lol:
I’ve been waiting for this the entire song, and he just says it: ‘Merde’
Awesome, what’s going on now is, guitaring and string stuff.
Very nice, the song is in an upbeat nnow, sounds a bit jazzy like.
6:10 breakdown, ow, after a few secs there is another voice introduced, a woman’s voice, with a lot of false air.
Instruments just playing easily, some chords on guitar, as it ends, and the vocalists makes some announcement, some more strings more bass, and the song really ends.

Cool, awesome

10/10

This was just great
Who is this dude/ band?
Great just great :D

My picks:

The gravel road (classical like)
[url]http://s26.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=168FYD7KHEPPR0EBSGK88ENCT7[/url]
(From a soundtrack)

[U][B]"The Gravel Road" from [I]The Village[/I] soundtrack[/B][/U] (I guess?)

I would have tried this earlier but classical music scares me. I wish I listened to more classical but I don't. And then I feel bad because I don't. So I stare at a wall.

Anyways, the song begins with violin and a piano. I wish I knew what the techniques are called or something because I don't know how to describe that. They hang together with hauntingly romantic interplay.

Around two minutes in, a ghostly swoon comes in. I have a hard time distinguishing different string instruments so I dunno what it was but it went away and it's just the piano and violin again. They start to pick up tempo near the four minute mark, racing together in one of those thematic build ups which are familiar to films. It was a pretty short piece, actually. Definitely sounds appropriate for a movie like The Village. I never saw it so I wouldn't really know but it evokes the right kind of mood for a M. Night Shamlanaramalama flick.

I liked it well enough but I'm no good with classical. Therefore, sucky review. :)

He was primarily a musician, but I think he also had a go at film and writing throughout his life. He's dead now though. [i]Histoire de Melody Nelson[/i] is the only album of his I know, thanks to Crumb, actually.

Not a dibs, for now.
