What are you currently listening to?

Post by mgy1523 »

Since all I do now a days is fix electronics and go RGB crazy, I thought it would be nice to take a load off for a change and be a little bit more formal... So lets just start off with what we're currently listening too right now.

Tom Wait's - Goin' Out West

Steven Wilson's new album: Hand. Cannot. Erase.

Image

If you're familiar with his solo work, it's basically more of the same, though maybe a bit more straightforward this time. I bought the limited edition and listened to the 5.1 Bluray mix last night and was quite blown away by the sheer clarity of the recording.

Perfect Life is a fantastic track. I wish I had the setup to listen to his surround mixes.

There's already a thread for this in the off topic forum, btw.

Wouldn't this be better in Off Topic?

Anyway, I was just listening to the Child of Light OST while studying for a midterm. I'm not particularly interested in the game itself but the soundtrack is very nice.

Now I'm listening to the Angel's Egg OST. The movie's kind of strange and I'm not sure what I think about it, but the soundtrack's stuck with me for some reason.

Moving to OT - there are a couple of music-ish threads in there, not sure which one would be most appropriate to merge with, so leaving this intact for now.

Even though i've read it before I am now listening to the audiobook of Starship Troopers from Robert A. Heinlein.

I know, that's really lazy but I don't read anywhere near the amount I used to and it's something to do when i'm in bed instead of watching TV. Perhaps Dune , Dune Messiah and Children of dune will be next but it's hard to pick up where you left off when you're doing it through youtube.

Hmm... let's see here.

Lately i've been listening to a lot of J Dilla, Kurt Rosenwinkel (makes me wanna practice guitar for real again) and D'Angelo's latest album Black Messiah.
All comes highly recommended, but if you're the least bit interested in soul derivative music then def. check out Black Messiah. It's teh shit.

some tigran hamasyan - shadow theater. been on a big kick since I saw him last month in chicago on his mockroot tour. armenian folk/jazz/prog metal pianist influenced by meshuggah/tool and a bunch of other genres - some parts kinda remind me of between the buried and me.

weasel walter just released a new no wave/free jazz cd on bandcamp titled "fragments" which is unreleased work from 1999 - present. been listening to a lot of that today too haha

saw them on their US tour and waited nearly a decade to do so. It was everything I was hoping for and more. you ever listen to mouse on the keys? another japanese post rock band but with two pianists and a drummer.

Thanks for the recommendation! I was pretty deeply into Holdsworth during my early high school years (transcribed some solos and played some songs) but haven't listened that much to him these last couple of years. Actually prefer his solo playing when he was a bit more rock influenced (i.e. Tony Williams Lifetime)! :)

Tigran Hamasyan is awesome btw.

This is something you might like; Some mates from high school

it's actually a buncha (I think?) old unreleased content - so hopefully there will be some rock-ish stuff in there for ya ;)

this is great. it sorta reminds me of jaga jazzist but with a bigger focus on piano. with jazz bands like this..the drums always impress the hell outa me.

John Coltrane Quartet - Naima (live in 1965)

This clip never ceases to amaze me. Caught live when Coltrane and his quartet were at their absolute peak (imho) with Coltrane laying down his trademark (for the era) complex textures and McCoy generating incredible depth on the piano spanning a vast array of emotions. I keep coming back to this clip a few times each year and I still find myself discovering new things in it. Best enjoyed with a fine glass of whiskey.

Maybe the title isn't a grammatical error but a clever reference to the fact this is a duplicate thread?

Dark Matter, spin off band of The Terminals:

The old thread is so huge and ungainly. I think this one could be more like stuff that you're listening to at the spur of the moment. Which none of this stuff I'm listening to is.

Tokyo Shoegazer - Turnaround (Full Album HQ)

Sway - Fall

Pallbearer - Foundations of Burden

Can anyone recommend some bands that sound like Pallbearer? I could really see myself getting into that kind of gloomy/mopey doom metal.
