Re: The Music Thread

Greetings everyone. Special nod to czyx since I saw you had some psy-trance tracks in your pack. I'm now a long time NR reader, but obviously nobody will recognize me since I never post. I grew up on Goth/Inudstrial. I was really into Skinny Puppy, The Cure, Sisters Of Mercy, Depeche Mode, Tear Garden, Legendary Pink Dots, Current 93, Front 242, and Front Line Assembly for example. I'm into all sorts of music from classical to metal to breaks and especially love triphop like Portishead...

Anyways, I've spent a long time tonight uploading some tracks to yousendit to share with everyone here. Some of this is rare and very hard to find. What sets my heart on fire these days is the sounds of melodic psychedelic goa trance. I've liked a lot of music from many genres but this is about all I have time to collect and for some reason I find it so uplifting and inspiring tha I never get sick of it and it seems to keep me going and going. In a round about way, some of the subtle things encoded or hidden in goa trance is what has got me here to NR. Many people in the psychedelic trance scene are interested in exploring and expanding consciousness, shamanism, and all that. I've been introduced to so many awesome people, ideas, and authors through people I've met who are into this music. On the surface maybe it is all silly techno music with kids getting high but I think there is something deeper beneath it and this music does something for me which nothing else I've heard can do so it is very near and dear to me.

I will post Artist / Album / Track Title on one line, then a link to discogs.com which has release info, and then a link to yousend.com where you can download the track. All combined it is 164MB in size. I hope you like it and find it inspiring. The first few tracks are fast/dancy/melodic goa trance. The last few tracks are a little more mellow/chill/ambient.

Various - Trancemaster 12 - Transwave - Cycles Of Life. The review on discogs for this song was as follows:

"Cycles Of Life" is the one psychedelic trance song that can still move me to tears every single time I hear it. 100% perfect from a musical point of view. Total sonic fierceness, metallically resonating synths, and an alien mating call. It all builds up to a pressure point, and suddently the harder part drops off and we're left with the gated choir rising up from the darkness... and for a few seconds, everything's right in the world. http://www.discogs.com/release/193494

Re: The Music Thread

Music to get lost in:

A Perfect Cirlce (APC) - Vanishing
Radiohead - How to disapear completely and never be found, Spinning Plates (live)
Godspeed you Black Emporer - (Instrumental) Dead Flag blues, Providence,
     motherf*cker/Redemer, Rockets Fall on Rockets falls, Almost anything by them
Explosions in the Sky - Instrumental (I can disappear into about any one of their songs)
King Crimson - Walking on Air
Pink Floyd - Cluster One

I listen to those songs when I need to leave reality for a while, and get lost in the music.

I used to love rock, Tool, Mars Volta, Deftones, Rage Against the Machine, System of a Down, Lucuna Coil, others.  That music seems to get me in a negative mood though. 

Anyway any of you tool fans listen to Faiip de Oiad?  That song used to creep me out.  Also some good VAST songs are: VAST - Candle, Pretty when you cry

"...But Nothing is Lost:" "Nothing lasts... nothing lasts. Everything is changing into something else. Nothing's wrong. Nothing is wrong. Everything is on track. William Blake said nothing is lost and I believe that we all move on." - Terrence McKenna - Shpongle - But Nothing Is Lost

Yes. Right before the album was released (that summer) I had downloaded the sample of the Art Bell show where the 'ex Area 51 employee' called in and started crying talking about extradimensional entities not being what they claim to be and how 'they' want the major population centers wiped out. So it was a major syncronicity for me to hear it used in the secret track of Lateralus. What you don't hear on the album is how Art Bell's entire show went off the air for the first time ever while the caller was babbling and crying about this dire situation. The show comes back after about 30 seconds and they start talking about how they mysteriously went off the air and are operating on a backup tape. Then Art calls the caller 'paranoid skitzophrenic'.  sad

I am as is Void.

Thanks, sinaptix! I especially like the Entheogenic track.

GSYBE is absolutely phenomenal. I like their early stuff and the spinoff groups like A Silver Mt. Zion and Hrsta.

Silver Mt. Zion, I liked them but the guys voice is so off key that it messes up the music for me.  Kinda like how it is standard for every rock band now to have the gutteral growling guy yelling in the background.  I personally think a lot of beautiful songs are wrecked by that.

Never heard of Hrsta, have to give them a listen.  If you like godspeed, definately give "Explosions in the sky" a try.  They are all guitars and drums, but I think there music is awesome.

Re: The Music Thread

I cant believe this is my first post in this thread!!! wink

Once I get home Ill share my music tastes and thoughts about what was discussed here.  Montalk your description of metal music is fascinating! And is giving my some new insights about the music.

Intrestingly enough right now I am experiencing with new types of music, changing and refining my current types of music.

Re: The Music Thread

I've been rereading the posts I've made on this thread and the way I seemed to be biting montalks head off (haha. )

Sorry about that.

Not my intention.


I think the guy is brilliant.






As for jazz ......

I think that jazz and fighting oppression is related. 
(One of the reasons jazz was banned in Nazi Germany, thoses bastards !)
I'm not saying anyone should listen to jazz on moral grounds.
Listen to what moves you.

Jazz possess a  minimal amount of restriction on the player.
It celibrates individuality.
It is non-conformist.
That's what moves me.
The way everyone sounds different and the way you can hear the performer searching and becoming who they are throughout their career.




Our strength, as humans, is as free multi-dimensional beings.
We are from a different place.
We are unique and the same at the same time.
We don't win the fight against oppression with more oppression.
We win the fight by rising above.




When I hear jazz, I hear free spirits celibrating and striving to understand themselves.
There are no bad notes just poor resolutions.

Re: The Music Thread

Well, I've got to meantion my favorite artist, the one I've been listening to for as long as I can remember and am just now starting to understand his lyrics! Bob Marley! smile

His lyrics are so amazing and deep I cannot begin to describe the message he is sending, I undoubtably recommend you give it a listen!

Here is a little taste of his message...

Don't let them fool you
Or even try to school you, Oh! No
We've got a mind of our own
So go to hell if what you're thinkin' isn't right
Love would never leave us alone
In the darkness there must come out to light

---

Exodus, movement of Jah people, oh yeah
Open your eyes and let me tell you this

Men and people will fight ya down (Tell me why?)
  when ya see Jah light
Let me tell you, if you're not wrong (Then why?)
  ev'rything is alright
So we gonna walk, alright, through the roads of creation
We're the generation (Tell me why)
  trod through great tribulation
 
Exodus, movement of Jah people
Exodus, movement of Jah people

Open your eyes and look within
Are you satisfied with the life you're living?
We know where we're going; we know where we're from
We're leaving Babylon, we're going to our fatherland

Speechless smile

Re: The Music Thread

this is "Burning to Shine" by K-OS

he did this song with the CBC orchestra out in BC fairly recently ... i saw the making of this song, like a kind of mini documentary - watching the whole creative process and how people ended up working together and how the whole thing ended up coming together was really interesting/inspiring 4 me ... it's a fun song

Re: The Music Thread

It's nice to hear from a fellow Miles Davis fan.

I enjoy a lot of his music and admire his pioneering spirit.


Have you heard the Brecker Brothers ?


Their 2 CDs from the 90's are really great.

Hey NM,

Since you listed DJ Tiesto and Bob/Ziggy Marley, you might dig Death in Vegas.  Specifically their 1997 disc, "Dead Elvis."   One of my favorite CDs ever.  It's hard to describe their stuff - a mix of trance ambient rasta.  !   I mean, good stuff to listen to if you like smoking out with the lava lamp!  big_smile   What's unique about them is they use real instruments, drums and guitar, along with the synthesized sound effects.   On "Dead Elvis" I really dig the songs 'Rekkit', 'Rocco' and '68 Balcony'.  'Twist & Crawl' is good too.  On their follow up disc, "The Contino Sessions",  the song 'Flying' is my ABSOLUTE fave D&V tune, hands down.  Other good D&V songs scattered amongst their stuff is 'Rematerialised', (yes, spelled the British way...they're from the UK wink  ) 'Anita Berber', 'Dirge', and 'Girls', which apparently was used on the soundtrack to Lost in Translation.  Blech boring movie, but the song is cool. smile 

I came across a great "techno" song tonight, by Fluke.  Called 'Switch Twitch.'  If you like DJ Tiesto then this is WAY better.  smile   It's one of the best dance techno tunes I've heard in ages.  Well done.  Fluke did 'Zion' on the Matrix Reloaded soundtrack, and has soundtrack songs all over the place.

ps

if you dig Enya and DJ Tiesto, then also see about downloading "Halcyon & On & On" by Orbital.   It really kicks in about 2 minutes into the 9 minute song.......

Re: The Music Thread

Awesome, thanks so much for the bands. 

It's funny really, I've just started to listen to a bit of trance (first time in my life!) along with Enya.  I remember I never really enjoyed trance/techno, but now its quite sooothing and at times I'll have a minor OBE.

Wow, this description sounds so unique.  I've never heard of "trance ambient rasta" before... I feel like its going to be good! smile

LoL, that movie wasn't that bad... Bill Murray had his parts wink Although the movie didn't go anywhere at the end...

Anywho
Thanks again!

BTW, just started listening to that Orbital song, this is the song played at the end of Mortal Kombat. Heh.  Good song!
