I blame Wynton, what was the question?
There are only 10 types of people in the World, those who understand binary and those that don't.
It's nice out today so he's probably working. He'll be along shortly.
That and/or DT's Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence get my vote.
'The smell of strange colours are heard everywhere'- Threshold
Stooges ~ "1969"
T'was ever thus......
Hell, they ain't even old-timey ! - Homer Stokes
Thanks for asking that. As a Brit I haven't a clue.
Snowblind - Black Sabbath
What he said !
LARD FREE - Warinobaril
Second Hand by Pravda
Playing it now, from his MySpace page. Yeah, it kicks ass. Love the drums.
Haven't heard any Zorn/Masasda in a few years, but fit the description too, from what I remember.
Cool album. Good choice.
Some songs that are probably the most 'badass' from the 21st century for me (very hard to narrow down)...
Archive - Bullets (but really the whole damn album) from Controlling Crowds (2009)
One Shot - Ewaz Vader (the first 90 seconds is sublime - kick ass way to open an album) from Ewaz Vader (2006)
Aranis - Looking Glass from II (2007)
The Flower Kings - Silent Infero from Unfold The Future (2002)
Miasma & The Carousel of Headless Horses - Perilous Fathoms - from Perils (2005)
Muse - Knights of Cydonia - from Black Holes and Revelations (2006)
Octurn - Growth - from 21 Emanations (2006)
Black Bonzo - Sound of the Apocalypse - from Sound of the Apocalypse
Steve Coleman - Wheel of Nature (live) from Resistance is Futile (2002)
(not that song exactly, but gives an idea of the date...
Indukti - Freder from S.U.S.A.R. (2005)
Kiev - Loot Recovered from Ain't No Scary Folks In On Around Here (2011)
Ugh, need to stop here...
WANTED: Sig-worthy quote.
Not a hard question:
Does it matter that this waste of time is what makes a life for you?
The Residents: "Part Three: Ship's a Goin' Down" (Not Available)
A little off-topic: if this is your turntable, what kind is it? It seems to say Audiotechnica; would it be LP240?
Sleep Is Wrong - Sleepytime Gorilla Museum
The Other Rock Show at Resonance 104.4FM - http://otherrockshow.wordpress.com/
Never understood the love for this album . Neo prog at it's worst !
You're entitled to your opinion, naturally, but neo-prog is about the last thing I'd consider Echolyn to be.
I'll Second this !
Echolyn is not neo-prog.
Music isn't about chops, or even about talent - it's about sound and the way that sound communicates to people. Mike Keneally
"Experiments in Mass Appeal" - Frost*
Daaaaaamn....danke!
Right now I'm thinking Echolyn's Island. Great tune.
Prog Rocket – An Exploration of Progressive Rock Music
Ben Monder is extremely deep, both as a guitar player and a composer. There's really nobody like him that I know of. He works quite a bit in NYC as a jazz guitar player, but I don't know if you can even call his own albums with his own compositions "jazz;" it strikes me as being much more influenced by modern classical music. I have "Oceana" and "Excavation." It can be pretty challenging music to listen to and I'm not always in the right mood for it, but when I am, it can be very rewarding!
Shame this turned into a thread about what everybody's opinion of "bad ass" music is; Ben Monder kind of got left in the dust. Unfortunately, there's no example of "Rooms of Light" on YT, but I felt I oughta post something of his to give some idea of who and what you're talking about, N_Singh.
... and with Theo Bleckmann, who's probably one of the only singers in the world who can sing Monder's stuff so gracefully:
Thanks for bringing it back to Ben Monder - I had not heard of him and like hearing more (of his bad-assness).
Monder sounds like he's been studying Rypdal
Perhaps the thread title coulda been Ben Monder instead of what it is which naturally would elicit votes from everyone of their idea of the thread title... just sayin
Why is it whenever someone mentions an artist that was clearly progressive (yet not the Symph weenie definition of Prog) do certain people feel compelled to snort "thats not Prog" like a whiny 5th grader?
