Tunesday Thread - Volume 897,436, Issue 42

[Jim Clark]

Been wearing headphones to work, so tons and tons of stuff lately. 8 hours can fit a bunch of music, and I usually grab a couple MP3 discs with like 10 or so albums each on 'em to choose from. Too much to list right now...but some highlights include...

Desperate Teenage Lovedolls Soundtrack
45 Grave: Sleep in Safety
Superfly Soundtrack
Agustus Pablo: Aquarius Dub
Sly & Robbie in Dub
Dicks: Kill From the Heart
Soundgarden: Badmotorfinger
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
Beck: Guerro
Lyrics Born: Same Sht, Different Day
Gorillaz: Demon Days
Jason & the Scorchers: Lost & Found

And, was over at my folks house and saw an old record I must have discarded ages ago as I barely remembered it. I'm actually listening to it right now for a little retro fun. Anyone remember this one...



I could imagine a few of you out there digging its synthetic sheen and breezy, poppy sound.

yep, that's in the pile of lps I've been digging through lately.

I purchased, just yesterday, and have spent today listening to the following:

APC:13th Step - Yes, that is a very "in your face bass", and I like that way. So far, so good. I can see why some fans of older tooL would find it a bit trite, but I refer tooL's proggier style over their goth-metal style anyway.

Ayreon:The Universal Migrator Pts 1 & 2 - this is a specially priced two-disc set that was just re-released last year (both CDs were originally released in 2000) Boy, these guys aren't fooling around. I've heard a couple of these songs on a Troy comp (albeit, the weirder songs) Disc One is akin to ELO on acid (with an occasional 'hit' of ether). Very keyboard driven, very neo-prog, but very well done, which is kind of a miracle considering the cast of hundreds (guests) employed to make this album. Disc Two is a throwback to '80s metal, but in a good way. Its like, what if Jeff Wayne produced an Iron Maiden album...or like, what if Glass Hammer or IQ had balls. I will definately be looking into more from this group. BTW: I picked this up at CC of all places, for $13.99us...a steal!

Also, I have through the course of a week, borrowed and listened to the following:

Soilwork:Stabbing The Drama - I mentioned this one last week. It won't supplant Opeth as far as my heavy metal jones goes, but it is, as they say, a grower.

Laguna Coil:Comalies - only a few tracks actually, but what I heard piqued my interests...I may be in the hunt for these guys next...but is Comalies the best starting point? hhmmm?

Well? Is it?

Glad you liked the Ayreon.

First of all, it's Lacuna Coil.

Comalies is a good a place to start as any, but my favourite is Unleashed Memories (try to find the version with Halflife on it).

Then there's In A Reverie (which is my 2nd favourite), and that's pretty much it, for now, in terms of albums.

Glad you liked the Ayreon.

Me too! I'm tired of waisting money.

my favourite is Unleashed Memories (try to find the version with Halflife on it).

Why?

More music, that's the only reason. If you, like I, end up falling in love with them, it's one less EP you will have to acquire.
