The Fountain [OST]

Clint Mansell is, in my mind, one of the best composers of our time. His work mainly consists of composing beautiful pieces for some great films, namely Requiem For A Dream, π and The Fountain. I have chosen to upload this particular OST because it's absolutely sublime and it fit in so well with the film. Check it out.

Jon Chang and Co..

Gridlink-Amber Gray
link it up





Time to serve up a brutal, unforgiving slab of grindcore. Vocalist(Jon Chang-formerly of Discordance Axis) rips on this one. Fucking brilliant record, IMO.

Wu-Tang Clan ain't nuttin ta fuck wit!

Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) by Wu-Tang Clan



So I decided to follow suit with the previous hip-hop post and so here's The Wu, which is just straight up, hardcore rap. And very intelligently put together at that. The rhymes always have me smiling to myself because they're so well put together and how the Clan members just alternate through the verses is seamless. Check it out, it's a beautiful album.

I come with hip-hop...

The Roots-Things Fall Apart
link





So I don't really know that much about hip-hop, having begun to delve into it's somewhat underground artist's music not too long ago, but I do know what I like,and I like The Roots. Now pause your Lil' Wayne track and give this a try.

Dela- Changes Of Atmosphere

Now, Dela. Pretty awesome, instrumental hip-hop by some white guy. Incredible beats, outstanding production, perfect beach music, I find.

Minsk's latest

With Echoes In The Movement Of Stone by Minsk



Here's Minsk's newest album, which I'm digging a lot. There's a lot of that atmospheric, doom-y stuff going on but the cool thing is that it also harkens to the sludge side of the band, most apparent in the opening track "Three Moons". The atmosphere on this album is great, very dark and foreboding. I'd like to think of the band as unique, which they are, but the Neurosis influences just kick you in the face (not a bad thing at all, btw). The album's a slow burner, I'll tell you that so it'll probably be a while before I fully appreciate it. Anyway, it's greatly recommended so get it.

National Day Of Slayer

6/6/09. Dunno what the relevance of the 09 is, but here's Slayer's "Seasons in The Abyss".


Oh look, something that's not reign in blood.
PS:I do realise that I'm a day late

Call of the Mastodon

Call of the Mastodon by Mastodon


Yes yes yes. A compilation of Mastodon's early stuff, when they were still very raw, sludgy and dissonant. This will CRUSH you.

Punk Megapost....

...because you deserve it. I've been pretty inactive the last few days due to my external exams, but now that I'm done with them, I can give all 2 or 3 of you that happened to stumble upon our blog my full and undivided attention. First up, a "technical punk" band that I just only recently heard about. Nomeansno and their incredibly awesome album "Wrong". Wrong is widely considered the band's best and most representative record. The playing is incredibly skilled, with the Wright brothers(who founded the band as a 2-piece in their parent's basement) effortlessly shifting tempos and time signatures and Kerr's(vocalist 1984-circa 1990) razor sharp lyrics clicking right into place. Anyway, download, listen, buy, enjoy.

Next up, we have The Broadways. The Broadways were a punk band from Chicago, Illinois. The group formed in 1996 after the break-up of ska-punk band Slapstick, with their vocalist Brendan Kelly and trumpet player Dan Hanaway combining with Rob DePaola and Tricky Dick guitarist Chris McCaughan.

Musically, The Broadways frequently drew comparisons to Crimpshrine and Jawbreaker. The band is notable for the intelligent political, social, and introspective nature of their lyrics, as well as their complex, non-traditional song structures and above-average punk musicianship. The band released Broken Star in 1998 on Asian Man Records before breaking up the same year.
