Off-topic:
Anyone listen to mixsets and recordings of live shows? I've been downloading them over the past decade, especially of sets I've either been to (Godskitchen's multi-DJ 9hr set in the main hall of Newcastle Arena being my favorite) or have missed (Blur's special concert a few years ago, and Paul Van Dyk at The Gallery's Turnmills in '97), and was just curious if there's anyone else out there who likes this stuff. Recently came across a good 45min mix of Capsule x Perfume x Coltemonikha on nicovideo.

Saviour Machine - Legend II

I hadn't listened to this album in years, but I just dug it out today and it's almost better than I even remember. Lately (over the past year or two) I've mostly just been interested electronic and dance music, so whenever I pull out one of my old metalcore or goth or hip-hop or even classical cds it's really nostalgic.

Anyone in to techy/grindy metal, check out the Plasmarifle. Good stuff. I wish the production were a bit heavier, but with the way it is now, it gives the bass drops extra punch.
Feedback will set you free.

Asobi Seksu - Live at the Echo
This is awesome, a real reminder of what a great live band they are. Sadly I was too poor to go and see them again last week, but I imagine they'll be back in the UK at some point next year to support their new album 'Hush'

Did you catch them live, Icarus?

I did manage to catch them in Leeds on the 14th, which was an excellent show. I'll definitely make some time for their next tour when it happens.

I picked this up on your recommendation. Still a bit undecided...

This thread sparked a big metal kick for me. This past week I have been listening to lots of:

Dystopia - s/t
Trap Them - Seizures in Barren Praise

The first two tracks are kinda weak but I think starting with the third track it hits a stride in the mid section of the album. I love the opening to "I hold you close to my heart" and the section of "Exhaling Life.." about a minute in to the track. I'm definitely not a fan of the bass sound though.

I bought it last week and while I haven't listened to it extensively I am liking it so far. I don't think it's as strong as his previous record though. :wink:

I remember twe mentioning (but can't remember his newer name) an obsessive collection of live recordings. Probably slowdive or something.

I haven't checked this thread in months, and the first new post I see mentions me. Weird.

Well it is pretty tricky.

Yes, that's right. Not just slowdive though, lots of different stuff. I have about 600 recordings, and about 10 masters I recorded myself (including The Sea and Cake, Aimee Mann, Dido, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Sigur Ros, Neil Halstead, and Emiliana Torrini- many of these remain uncirculated). It took me about 6 years of intensive trading (meaning at least 1-2 trades through the mail every week) to amass that. Good times, and i met a lot of cool people in the process.

A good place to get started for the uninitiated is www.dimeadozen.org . Nowadays people trade via torrents, and it's a lot easier, but a good deal of the charm is lost in the process. I still prefer the old days when we'd mail tapes/CDs in a trade. I don't fool around with the torrent nonsense too much.

No offense, just thought I had to explain calling someone by an older username. Haven't been browsing around many Cave threads. ;)


Guess I'll post another:

Orion Rigel Dommisse - What I Want from You is Sweet -- Language of Stone Records has been the one major highlight this year, almost everything really good psych-folk. RIYL Espers and if you haven't heard them, try II.

Revolutions Per Minute -- Rise Against
Greater than Four -- A Suffusion of Yellow
Master of Puppets -- Metallica
S.C.I.E.N.C.E -- Incubus

Yeah.
There are a lot more, but since my iPod fell, and the HDD died, I haven't heard a lot of them in recent times.

[edit]
And this thread is mostly metal. Wow.
Come check out my website, I guess. Random stuff I've worked on over the last two decades.

That's a pretty cool link for all sorts of stuff. I'm a trancehead however, and swear by BBC Radio 1's Essential Mix collection, as well as assorted recordings of other live sets from other radio stations, like Galaxy 105.6FM. I usually go to The Mixing Bowl, TrancePodium and (when it works) TranceAddict, as well as other general torrent sites.

Got a 2hr set blasting at the moment - Pete Tong and Paul Van Dyk @ The Gallery, Turnmills [R1 Essential Mix - 04.04.1999] - and have capsule rmx by capsule and Coltemonikha 2 by Coltemonikha queued up.
