Non Metal Now Listening

[Carnage]

False Lankum? I thought it was mighty, first full album of theirs I heard.

[astfgyl]

That's the one yeah I just couldn't get into it and I don't really know why or what it is exactly I don't like about it

[Mooncat]

Hendrix - All of them
Really down the rabbit-hole with him now.

The Stooge - Funhouse
Absolute classic. Maybe not quite as good as Raw Power, but almost!

Ornette Coleman - The Shape of Jazz to Come
Awesome album

[Eoin McLove]

Jonathan Hultén- first one, whatever it's called. Nice stuff.

[StoutAndAle]

Faust - "Faust IV"

John Coltrane - "Blue Train"

Wilco - "Summerteeth"/"Yankee Hotel Foxtrot"

Bruce Springsteen - "Darkness Of The Edge Of Town".

New collab from Mike Patton and The Avett Brothers. Thought I'd posted about it, but maybe not. Lovely first tune anyway:

I wouldn't be a fan of their other scores, although I love Ross' one for The Book Of Eli. Is this along the same lines as their previous ones?

The Daft Punk score for the last Tron film was immense.

I find the scores mostly boring as well but this one has a bit less plinkety plink spooky Minecraft music going on. In fact it doesn't have any of that at all. It does sound like NIN doing a score rather but I don't know if it's going to prove more popular than what Daft Punk did for the last one. The instrumental stuff on it is better than the vocal stuff

Listening to it now. It's OK so far (about halfway through) but there's enough of that glitchy stuff to be irritating, and some of it sounds very familiar indeed, throwbacks to melodies/chord progressions/riffs from earlier albums.

It's one I'll play again, which isn't true of anything else he's done post-Year Zero, but I definitely prefer the Daft Punk Tron: Legacy score at this stage.

[astfgyl]

My own main issue with it is that a lot of the tunes could have been more complete as tunes in their own right but I like pretty much all of what's on it. I do hear the throwbacks in a lot of places and I don't know if it's intentional or not but I think overall it's a more interesting sound than the last few albums from NIN

[Carnage]

I suppose context is all important in a film score, by definition they're rarely made to 'work' in isolation.

[Pentagrimes]

New collab from Mike Patton and The Avett Brothers. Thought I'd posted about it, but maybe not. Lovely first tune anyway:

Nope. Patton sticks out like a sore thumb when he come in on that first verse.

[StoutAndAle]

Simple Minds - "Empires And Dance"

New Order - "Power, Corruption & Lies"

Sultans Of Ping FC - "Casual Sex In The Cineplex"

[Pentagrimes]

Gas - Zauberberg
The Black Dog - Neither/Neither
Ellen Fullman - In the Sea

[astfgyl]

Gas - Zauberberg
The Black Dog - Neither/Neither
Ellen Fullman - In the Sea

Have both Zauberberg and Neither/Neither on CD and forgot until I saw this. Must dig them out, I remember enjoying both a lot when I got them

On a massive Camel binge this week. The first 4 albums are superb and the the later career Rajaz a highlight too

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Love me a bit of Camel but have never listened to Rajaz!
