I am disappointed with the lack of response to my lovingly-crafted post full of lovingly-uploaded songs (for all of you! with love).

[chompers po pable]

the way you described the buildup and the arrangement in general in the overworld thread sounds like it could be mindblowingly good.

which is good.

I do like that song. It makes me envision a very pastoral scene — maybe like something where the characters have just left a town and the camera is pulled way up and back, above the clouds as they drift by, and it slowly descends as the travelers embark and the distortion comes in. It's very serene. It would be a shame if some jarring battle music were to ever interrupt it. In fact, this would really go nicely with my idea for an RPG with no random overworld battles at all, where the whole point of the game is to travel and explore and take pleasure in the simple joy that that brings. No numbers or anything, just endless sights to behold and places to go, with an ever-expanding sense of distance covered.

Um, anyway! Yes, it's really nice.

Okay, I'll set you up with a folder tomorrow. You can use an FTP client and everything for maximum ease of uploading! And links will just be "largeprimenumbers.com/antitype" -- all your files right there in an index. And then, never post a link to it. Just tell people "It's in the folder," and we'll know where to look. It'll be a secret to everybody, kind of.

I can give some others folders as well!!

Just as long as you agree to, say . . . post one batch of songs a week, and then delete them when you put up the next batch. (Not for space reasons -- I have almost too MUCH space now -- just because it makes it more interesting and less copyright-infringing that way? It's less organized music theft or even mixtaping, and more like dudes passing around a pair of headphones.)

My iTunes is very hungry. (Will be hungrier when I get my fucking internet back at home.)

2197

It's a compilation album that includes productions from various well-known VGM musicians (Hitoshi Sakimoto, Shinji Hosoe, Ayako Saso) and some unknowns, who may or may not have done some VGM production in their life. A particularly interesting unknown is a guy called Yasuyuki Suziki (鈴木泰行), who remains a complete mystery to me because I couldn't find anything out about him.

And then there's this quote from the booklet: "Manipulate : Akira Yamaoka featuring Sayaka (Except track #11)", which says... something about Akira Yamaoka having something or other to do with this project. There are no songs credited directly to him in the playlist (Japanese one here).

The label, Troubadour Record, is a (seemingly) now-defunct label started by the usual suspect, Shinji Hosoe, in 1992. He is now more directly tied to Sweep Record. Sweep also has a shop where they still sell some old Troubadour releases, but it's Japan-only, I'm afraid.

Anyway, the song "O gnad Memorial" by Yasuyuki Suziki has some very slick beats pulsing through it.

I might get flamed for posting this here, of all places, but the new My Chemical Romance album sucks a lot less than I thought it would.

I think they get a bad rap because "emo kids" latched on to them after that "I'm Not Okay" song made it big on the radio even though most of them haven't even heard any of their entire albums. I mean, most of their songs are about dying and/or killing stuff, they have a song that pretty much glorifies prison rape, and there are a lot of references to religion in their music. It's kind of ironic that preteens have latched on to them the way they have.

Successive Reflexes by Liquid Liquid

After ages of listening nothing but guitar-driven candyfloss melodies, it's nice to harken some insanely percussive and primal deep funk. All of the songs are three guys on improvised percussion, drumsets, bongos and marimbas and one guy chugging along on bass. The bassline to their song "Cavern" was sampled to produce White Lines.



Cymande's The Message, lovingly donated by vision

All I can really say is it's rasta-inflected deep funk that would probably get you beaten up pretty good for driving through the Hood with windows rolled down listening to.

Joe, shaddap.

Antitype, I've enjoyed the stuff you've recommended quite a bit these past few weeks. Thanks for going to the trouble of uploading it, too.

[parkbench]

Right now, "The Arabic Lounge," which is a fantastic blend of traditional Middle Eastern music/instruments with modern post-rock/idm elements. Really top-notch.

Today I felt like relistening to all of Do Make Say Think's albums, so that was pretty satisfying.

Otherwise, the new Decemberists album (Yankee Bayonet is just...I love that song. 4 real), and shuffle on my ipod.

I've heard great things about the new Clipse from pretty much everyone. I'd get around to it, but I'm afraid to start up soulseek. Every time I do I end up downloading the entire world and then I take a two month break or so.

ps: if anyone's interested in anything i mention, just ask, and i'll be more than happy to send somehow.

edit2: incidentally, the reason i'm listening to the arabic lounge at all now is because i'm playing prince of persia. no joke. and it's actually really, really cool and immersive ;o

[Focus]

antitype, do you just want me to send you the cd?

OK, see, otakupunkx, I actually agree with you that the latest My Chemical Romance album is good, but the funny thing is that it isn't about all that stuff you listed in your post at all. I mean, their last album, yeah totally was, and as long as you thought it was a joke, it was decent fun. Their last album is surprisingly moee...umm...upbeat? It might have a happy ending? It certainly is from the mid to late 70's.

They certainly are on my guilty pleasure list. As are Valient Thorr, who might have the best band name ever.

[slipstream]

It's a pretty good combination of loungey jazz and IDM. I Feel Blue is a great downtempo song with a melancholic acoustic guitar solo. If we had another mixtape thread, I would feel pretty good about sending this song in.

Jaga Jazzist's A Livingroom Hush is a lot more jazzy than What We Must, which isn't that great because... they aren't the best "jazzists". Here's an mp3 if anyone likes Scandinavian nu-jazz with Bb bass clarinet soloes.

[rabite gets whacked!]

I was just about to say pretty much the same on Shining. I'd liken them to early Soft Machine plus wild metal saxophoning.

Anyway, here's a bit of what I'm listening to lately. (sorry for the sendspace, tim)

[Focus]

Here it is: Bibio.




I am not going to say anything about this man. It is up to you to make THINGS and OPINIONS about his music.

There you are, crowd. Nobody wants to play my game, besides you, antitype. Thanks.

I just got a Tsutaya card today on almost accident. So I rented Six CDs and ripped the to my computer and am going through them now.

The Blue Hearts "East West Side Story"
The High-Lows "Bamukeehen"
Husking Bee "the steady-set theory"
Remio Romen "Moratorium" Single
Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra "Moods of Ska:We don't know what Ska Is"
Green Day "American Idiot"

The last one was kind of a last minute decision because they were having a 5 albums for 1000 yen deal. the Remio Romen one was a single, so I just grabbed Green Day because it was the first thing that popped into my head. It's about what I expected.

"East West Side Story" features a terrible version of Navigator. The Husking Bee album is much better than the one I already own. I figured I might as well actually own a TSPO album (featuring the Tetris theme!!!) And I've had a horrible urge to own this Remio Romen song for about a month.

[Rud31]

I used "more" many times in that post. I am sad.

I was going to play mind games, but I'm hungry. Boris's "Flood." It's concept intrigues me.

Lately, when my friend logs onto the dorm network, I've been listening to assorted items on his iTunes.

Bad Religion has been keeping me occupied for the most part, but holy shit, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes. There is something awesome about the group's concept, doing punk rock versions of old songs. I mean, the idea of a punk rock version of Paul Simon songs is fucking divine.
