Reading Music

I was just curious what was or is in your player right at this moment. Or what you last listened to, for those of you who want to say that it's not on right now. lol

Currently, The Very Best of Blur - Coffee & Tv. Blur is a bloody brillant band with an amazing variety of styles and sounds and some really good song writing. It's not for the 3 min 35 second top fourty crowd however. Some of the songs are down-right strange but I love them all. They all feel as if you are really listening to the music of a persons soul, sometimes strange timing, sometimes strange meanings but honest none the less.

I know I'm dead on the surface But I'm screaming underneath

Well, the last thing I listened to was Wing - to show it to a friend, not because it reflects my taste in music, mind you!
(She is hilarious tho, try downloading a few samples, e.g. Dancing Queen)

"*sigh* Some men are really hard to manipulate!" - Orchid

Well the last thing I listened to was Robbie Williams' new song Trippin' on the radio. Well, I must admit I like his musi though many friends don't understand me ;)

The last thing I listened to willingly was the not so new Foo Fighters album. I really love the song "In your honor". The whole song is so powerful. I use to sing in my car but sometimes I wonder what other drivers might think if they see me like that: Shaking, screaming, waving hair. Well...

I like Blur, too. I think I've got all their albums. No, one or two are missing.

"Sie wollen nichts anderes. Sie wollen kämpfen! Sie sind Soldaten! Fucking Wahnsinnige!" - Noel G.

The last thing I listened to as Toby Keith's Honkytonk University, so that I could see if I made a good decision in purchasing it. And the answer was a definite yes. Another great collection of songs from a great artist

I was just curious what was or is in your player right at this moment. Or what you last listened to

DJ Tatana - Peace and Love, 75 minutes of pure trance energy... I love that stuff.

Others that I regularly listen to are: ATB, Tiesto, Armin Van Buuren, Paul Van Dyk, Colony 5, Paul Oakenfold, BT, Chicane, 4 Strings, DJ Lomax, Blank and Jones...

Non trance that make it regular into my playlist are:

Trapt, Shinedown, Casting Crowns, Sarah McLachlan, Story of the Year, Craig David, John Denver, Def Leppard...

Plus I listen to all the latest country artists (you name it)

Currently im rinsing David Morales - How would you feel

and just been introduced to Goldfrapp as well, sexy music :-)

This morning's commute (left the house at 5 am...ugh) was made slightly easier by a nice sing along with The Killers.

This band, while seeming sort of shallow at first, really has a fantastic sound and they don't deviate from it which suggests that they are not a "produced" band that is fishing for a following.

Very gritty and not hook oriented in the standard sense, The Killers remind me of a young Cure but with a modern feel that gives them an edge all their own.

Ewigheim - Der Tanz der Motten

cu, w0lf.

Multiple exclamation marks are a sure sign for a diseased mind!

I wish I could read the site for Ewigheim. I've been a fan of German industrial for years now. What is their music like? I started listening to industral back at the begining of Front 242 and Laibach and all that.

Not easy to describe. Rock / Metal mixed with electronics, roughly said. You'd have to listen to their sound, describing it wont help. Encyclopaedia Metallum probably tells you more - there they call it 'Gothic Metal', but that's IMVHO totally wrong.

Yeah, I love how easily Gothic is applied to things that defy an easy catagory. lol

I'm listening to Trapt - The Lost Realist

That my friends is a poem being sung.

The lyrics:

http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/trapt/lostrealist.html

It's one of those songs that takes me to places that other songs cannot. I can sing these lyrics and I can feel the emotions, the energy and the life that was created when it was written. If I could put my finger on the style of music that speaks to me then this song would be the equation and the sum. If you have a chance to listen, please do then let me know if you feel what I feel. It gives me a connection and path to a place I love to dwell!

The raw human voice combined with powerful lyrics and unescapable music can make you travel to places you'd never dream of... When I hear this song I just want to close my eyes and imagine...

I hope that you understand.

"Vela to Norma" by Last Winter

I really want to buy this album, but it's just a little difficult to find in the metropolitan town of Conway, Arkansas

Thbbbbt

Lahm Im Hotel - Dixiklo (via WeiberElectro).

LOL I can imagine.

Just at this minute, I got the new album of Carlos Santana - All that I am, now its not as good as some of his older stuff, but its alright for a good groove and thats just about it.

Got a black magic woman...

I'm now playing the hell out of Orgy - Vapor Transmission. Can't really describe them except to say cyberpunk meets rock. The lead singer came out with a line of clothes a while back called Replicant but they are hard to find now. I have one of the few remaining Digital Corss shirts I'll scan one of these days for you to see.

At the moment I can't get enough of DHT, currently listening to "I Miss You", some songs sound like traditional dance pop and others are pure vocal techno/trance emotional gems. This album is packed with alot of flavor. The female singer has a voice that chills me to the bone, damn, pure heaven. To give you an example the last track "Listen to your Heart (Edmee's Unplugged Vocal Edit)" is absolutely timeless, her voice and the pain leaving the piano will not leave my head. The same can be said for "I Go Crazy", the raw emotion in her voice and the timeless pain in the piano. Totally awesome.

Trapt - The Lost Realist

Thanks for that tune

themoreyouknowthemoreyouknowyoudontknowwhatyouknow

Drowning Pool - Tear Away

God damn I love me!

But in the last few weeks, I've bought like 4 CD's:

Kate Ryan - Stronger
Crazy Town - The Gift of Game
The Blue Man Group - The Complex
Moby - Songs

Been listening to all of them, good stuff.

I should be ashamed of myself.

Well I'm currently listening to Dir en Grey, the track of the moment is Obscure. However, I've got my whole DeG collection loaded and waiting to play. Such an addict I am.

Btw, Blur rocks my socks sometimes.

--Jami

You fail it.

Holy hell, I was just about to post the fact that I'm listening to Hotarubi by Dir en Grey when I read your post. I've never run into another person that knows them aside from the girl who introduced me to the band.

Thbbbbt

Soooo, are you hittin her? That sounds more interesting then the music.

Soooo, are you hittin her?

I suppose this question was a little to risque even for the likes of NAO... Hmm.. Oh well, it would have been nice to get a response and see what was happening =) Haha.

You're the only other person on NAO I've talked to that knows who they are, rock on! Hmmm, I've only met maybe a dozen other people that know the band. Do you do any other JPop?

You fail it.

Deg got me into some Miyavi, Gackt, and Malice Mizer too. And I've heard a little bit from X Japan, but what I've heard I have most definitely liked.

Thbbbbt

Kick ass. =)

You fail it.

Right now the #1 pick in my play list is Chicane - Live at the Palladium (Jan 22, 2000), it's a 58 minute set of trance that has emotion that I can't describe. This set creates an atmosphere around it, it draws you in. I can escape into this, everything around me is totally oblivious. This is the sound track of my life. Full of energy, ready to go, ready to see what this world will bestow.

I can't stop moving to this...

I can feel this set, I'm right inside it, it's right there for me to have, my personal sanctuary of light...

Get with me offline if you wanna experience this. I'm sure we could work something out.

** And apparently I can't spell either, which is why I gotta keep fucking editing this **

Sostachovich - 20th century composer, known for his waltz(s)
Rachmaninof - pianist & composer
Hanz Zimmer - soundtracks
Yoyo-Ma - Trying to collect all of his soundtrack work,
can't get enough of it
Depeche Mode - "Playing the Angel"
(and various obscure older stuff)
KMFDM - "Hau Ruck"

My current playlist is a somewhat random compilation of

The Dresden Dolls even if you onlny like them for Brian's hat and Amanda's eyebrows. Awesome piano.
Dallas Crane - Twenty Four Seven greatest beats ever. always gets you in the groove. kind of beatles-esque punk rock.
The Seussical Musical uhhh, this one's an acquired taste
Little Shop of Horrors cult classic. Everyone wants to sing along to Audrey II.
JET you'll either love em or you'll hate em. rock/punk with a bit of pop mixe in there as well
Franz Ferdinand if you dont know them, you should. i cant say anymore...
Sigur Ros - Von the world would be a beter place if everyone chilled to Sigur Ros regularly. I wish they'd d the score for some films. I always use Sigur Ros to underscore theatre.
Elbow - Asleep in the Back ambient/alt. these guys rock my socks off. everything about them is beautiful.

I'd recommend everthing on the list to everyone ;)
-Mel

Look at me! I'm a prostitute robot from the future!

Just got my hands on a nice recording of Mendelssohn, specifically the piece "Violin Sonata in F minor, Opus 4 (Chamber)". For those of you not familier with him, he wrote the Wedding March but that is a lesser example of his work.

I know I'm dead on the surface But I'm screaming underneath

Just got my hands on an album by the Alkaline Trio called Good Mourning which is suprisingly good. These guys have some good lyrics, a raw feeling as opposed to the overly polished sound of a band like Green Day and remind me other old school punks without being too like any of them to lose a unique flavor.

I'm going to get the later two albums and see if the style holds. I certainly hope so.

Incedentally, for a thread that has almost 30 replies, all of them positive, doesn't 65% strike you as a pretty bad score? lol

Sepultura - Territory

Alas, a bloody good album.

Tori Amos - Cloud on My Tongue

Dead Can Dance - Box Set

There is nothing like the rolling of drums and the smooth vocals of the two singers to transport you to a place that is beyond time and ordinary meaning. The words may sometimes be in another language or none at all but they translate anyway deep inside your mind.

Super Orgy Porno Party - The Planet Smashers. Ha... great stuff. :)

But I can't find no place or nothin', where thrills are cheap, and love is divine

Torment - Bestial Sex

Faithless - No Roots

Trance meets R&B but it's a style that is very difficult to capture in words.

With a singer who sometimes reminds me of Mahatma Ghandi because of his peacefulness. Prefered song: 'Insomnia' in its ORIGINAL version - the many other different ones, esp. the one you often get to hear in clubs or on the radio I totally DISlike, cause it sounds too much remixed/oh-so-club-focused and not like Faithless at all.
