lol that makes you like super cool haha. That song will always be amazing, i remember a few days ago it was on some radio station, i couldnt help rapping along.
But I think all songs from that era were given second chances at success after San Andreas was released, it showcased a lot of the hop-pop greats, like this fellow (RIP) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoYPjGzdGYU. |
Franz Ferdinand - Take Me Out
Swervedriver - Expressway |
Darling Downs - Waste My Time
Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings - My Man Is A Mean Man |
Estelle, ft kanye american boy... amazing, especially the use of my second favorite blackcurrant drink (vimto rules)

I'm really enjoying a couple singles from David Gilmour's solo album: Raise My Rent, and There's No Way Out Of Here.
Photek - the link from your 1/14 post doesn't appear to work anymore, and I don't even want to ask how you found that Looking for my Leopard tune... Since rap/hip-hop was the subject, I have to throw in a couple favorites from Ice Cube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4RY-eJgHHs I could only find the clean version;) Or this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKxrNz8x4Z4 How about Paul Oakenfold's gig with Shifty Shellshock rappin'...(recognize it?) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_pT278MRFs |
How about something more hip?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgU_m3SuYPE Great song... not so good video, but still :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubxf3F0CULE Once again, great song, though parts of the video are wrong on many levels I "think" that's the "clean" version... :D |

Hey Photek - just spotted this thread.
So - just two eh? OK... Album: Milliontown Group: Frost Génre: Progressive rock Description: Band only formed for one album, superb sound, brilliant production, and some of the most astonishing prog rock you can hear. Some exceptional keyboard playing and percussion throughout. Album: Pentamorous Metamorphosis Group: Global Communications Génre: Ambient Description: Acknowledged as one of the best ambient albums of all time One more to listen to here, free: an upbeat electric guitar solo One of mine!! EDIT: forgot to add... this one... Sigur Ros, Brilliant Icelandic band playing Glosoli: watch this and you'll be mesmerised... I guarantee it. http://www.sigur-ros.co.uk/band/disco/takk-glosoli.php |
MouthPiece-
First, I must say, Bravo! I am impressed with your tune. It just needs a name. About the video. It is mesmerising, but left me a little spooked out. Maybe it's because I don't speak the language? Were they set free with imagination...or set free with suicide? I don't know. Hope I can sleep tonight... RE: Global Communications. Thanks for the lead. I ended up buying a song they remixed: Space Carnival (Global Communications Remix) by Azymuth. RE: Frost. I liked what I heard, but the samples on iTunes were extremely different (e.g., some heavy guitar, some heavy piano). Do most songs have both? Please pick the two tracks you think represent their best work. Again, thanks for sharing your work. Cheers. |

Sigur Ros: that video is most certainly enchanting, and the music that accompanies it is truly wonderful eh! There are many discussions on different fora that attempt to depict what happened to the little boy at the end... me... it's the power of dreams and akin to the innocence of youth and they all follow their leader, happily. Global Communications: Great choice - they really are a superb 'take you anywhere when you listen to them' group aren't they...? I guess for me anyhow, that's what ambient music is all about, it allows you to go wherever you want to go. Shut your eyes, open your ears and just go...! Frost: I do agree that there is super a mix of keys and guitar, but hmmm, two from that album... OK... then I'd have to say these two, and for the following reasons being (sorry for showing here that I am a music geek head!!!): Hyperventilate: it's a full 7:32 instrumental comprising quite a wide range of progressive rock sounds, effects and time sigs eg: starting at 2:30 there's a nice prog rock piano in 7/8 that leads into a super eclectic guitar sound at 2:57 - again in 7/8 all overlaid with synth strings etc which gets a tad heavier with bass lines and heavier guitar, then lightens up again with a strat guitar before 4:00 in the section leading into a nice 2/4, then at 4:30 there's classic Tony Banks sounds (Genesis) in 6/8 with superb drum riffs and fill work until the guitar brings in the most brilliant section at 5:52 for what I consider some simply exquisite lead solo keyboard work in 5/8 Milliontown: 26:35 of superb modern progressive rock music. Full of all the sounds, rhythms, riffs and singing you'd associate with a classic prog rock track. Smooth flowing synth strings/flute effects, fantastic guitar solo's - weird but effective voice dubbing, awesome instrumental breaks (especially at 17:50'ish) - which gets better and better, 18:49 is awesome guitar overlay with synth, you think it's going to end, but to your relief the music keeps coming; 19:55 brings a subtle change in sound, still guitar but just as good, again you think it's ending but at 20:36 it is magic with a synth line leading to another guitar riff, and yet again you think it's going to end but carries on with superb underlying percussion and bass into 21:45 with such calibre of synth playing.... awesome music! Lastly - cos I am not sure you can purchase that track [milliontown] from iTunes without purchasing the entire album - I'd have to say 'Black Light Machine' - Starts with a repeating loop and vocal harmonies, but if you do get this one, have a listen to one of the best guitar effect solos I've ever heard (except Steve Hacket on 1976 live version of genesis, Carpet Crawlers) - it's in Amin and F#min and starts at 2:55 and goes on until 5:00 Apologies for being a music geek head, but it's just my thing!!! :) Enjoy...:) John |
