quite probably my favourite album of the year so far

[Briggins]

If I have to pick just one album to download what would you recomend?

[Kite]

There isn't many "new" bands coming up though the ranks which I can say I will buy the albums.

There are a couple bands I am watching for any news on the album, but Candylion has been on my stereo for the past couple days, it is so beautiful.

[Ondes Martenot]

I'm not really liking the Eluvian. :(

hmmm, don't know. maybe you are not a big fan of modern classical/ambient stuff? :idea2:

[Lera]

Somehow the Pocket Symphony link doesn't seem to work :sad2:

[Redundancy]

^i just downloaded it. worked fine for me. listening to it now, very nice..

[Ondes Martenot]

Somehow the Pocket Symphony link doesn't seem to work :sad2:

i uploaded that one myself 2 days ago, so it should work

*checking*

works for me :\

[Redundancy]

this is gonna sound stupid but how do you download the Explosions in the sky album? cant seem to figure it out

[Kite]

Somehow the Pocket Symphony link doesn't seem to work :sad2:

It's a rapidshare.com link?

There has been some troubles with rapidshare.com today for some reason.

[Redundancy]

nevermind, figured it out.

Bloc Party - A Weekend In The City added

review (thanks to wonderful Zorana once again) http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/showthread.php?t=35950&highlight=bloc+party

[Ondes Martenot]

^i just downloaded it. worked fine for me. listening to it now, very nice..

don't know. i find Pocket Symphony pretty boring and by far the worst Air album up to date :confused:

[Redundancy]

well im by far at the 4th song.. and yeah im getting a bit bored with it.. 1st song was nice and so was the 2nd but not the 3rd and 4th..

[Redundancy]

don't know. i find Pocket Symphony pretty boring and by far the worst Air album up to date :confused:

idd appreciate it alot if you could upload the Air album which you think is their best.

[Ondes Martenot]

The Good The Bad and The Queen - s/t added

despite everything what critics might say, this album is good. though, the songs sound better live than on the record imo. it's not "the Blur level", so don't get your expectations high, but it's clearly the best thing Albarn's done in 3-4 years. give this album a listen!

[talisman]

idd appreciate it alot if you could upload the Air album which you think is their best.

obviously Moon Safari is their best album.

[Ondes Martenot]

idd appreciate it alot if you could upload the Air album which you think is their best.

Moon Safari is my favourite of theirs

HA! found a working link: http://www.megaupload.com/de/?d=DMNNZS2J

[Redundancy]

Thank you :nice:

[Ondes Martenot]

Thank you :nice:

very welcome!

Hey Will! i hope you're preparing your top 10/20/30 whatever for the "albums poll" :P

[Redundancy]

still thinking about it :P

[Ondes Martenot]

quite mediocre and dull. nothing new and nothing exciting... meeehhh

[burningmonk]

I remembered that the EITS album will have a bonus remix album. I dunno when its out or anything. Eluvium & Four Tet are involved :dance: I'm really interested in what Mr.Cooper will do with it.

[Ondes Martenot]

Bjork's working on the new album! check her myspace for more info! :dance:

[Redundancy]

Moon Safari is my favourite of theirs

HA! found a working link: http://www.megaupload.com/de/?d=DMNNZS2J

meh.. im still getting the All download slots assigned to your country are currently in use since yesterday :dozey:

[Lera]

Now when I finally downloaded Pocket Symphony (man, was it hard lol) I can say it's pretty laaame.... I dunno, not what I was expecting. Maybe I'll like it more after another listen though...

And of course Moon Safari is the best one. Though Virgin Suicides OST is swell too.

[Kite]

Bjork's working on the new album! check her myspace for more info! :dance:

The Replacement Windows companies in the U.K. are getting warmed up for a repeat of Medúlla, when windows blew out...

Bjork's army is unbeatable, even on this forum :smug:

we don't get easily offended by ridiculous statements. you can try, though :P

[Bob Shannon]

Please if you don't mind give a listen to Dead Meadow. They are heavy and sweet.

The odd folk nod goes to Ray LaMontagne. His new album Til The Sun Turns Black is fabulous.

[janhaw]

*downloading* :wideeyed:

I can't pass this thread by without a quick mention for a band called fields.
There's no album yet but even so, I've managed to get addicted to virtually every song I've heard of theirs so far...

[Ondes Martenot]

Panda Bear - Person Pitch added

[Ondes Martenot]

ARCADE FIRE - NEON BIBLE added

[Ondes Martenot]

Radical Fashion - Odori added

a japanese band/artist (have no idea).
genre: ambient/minimalistic electronica/modern classical
sounds like Max Richter and Fennusz

very good album! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for ambient fans

[dajrekshn]

so Nik what you think about PEP?

[Ondes Martenot]

so Nik what you think about PEP?

they are OK after one listen.

they are quite jazzy. i like that, brings some special atmosphere, but i sometimes felt kind of disturbance during some songs. like they didn't really know what they want to do

but the record's OK, i quite enjoyed it in some places

[dajrekshn]

listen to it more ;)
want me to upload more for you tomorrow?

[thinker]

I'm sooooooooo full of expectation, when it comes to the new Radiohead album.
Can't wait! :D


I recomend: Lionheart brothers - Dizzy Kiss

[TellMeNow]

I def recomend picking up the new Shins album for sure. It's a different direction than where they went with "Oh, Inverted World" and "Chutes Too Narrow" but I really like it. Also Sondre Lerche's new album "Phantom Punch" is quite awesome and again a cool new direction from previous efforts, especially his last "Duper Sessions". Im really lookin forward to the new Modest Mouse. I have a good feeling about that one!

[Lacey]

i cant wait to buy Mika, life in cartoon motion ..i just love him soo much

Bright Eyes link is dead. Well it says temporarily unavailable.

[Briggins]

Bump*

I'm really diggin the new Shins album.

[Ondes Martenot]

Bright Eyes EP should work again ;)

yeah, the new Shins is quite good. still not as good as their previous 2 LPs imo.

[Kite]

i cant wait to buy Mika, life in cartoon motion ..i just love him soo much

www.myspace.com/mikamyspace (http://www.myspace.com/mikamyspace)

I dislike Mika. He will be this year's The Feeling/Orson, songs written for the radio.

[__therese]

I don't have a link but the new Koop-album is really awsome! ;)

[twistedlogic149]

New Modest Mouse releases in a few weeks...

I can't wait for the new Robert Post album.

I'm starting to really like The View!

I'd still recommend a couple of albums from 2006 too, especially Empire by Kasabian and Yours to Keep by Albert Hammond Jr, guitarist from The Strokes solo album - much better than the last two Strokes albums

[Kite]

I'm looking forward for the new polytechnic album. "Down Til Dawn" it is called, I have seen this Manchester band twice, and they just keep on getting better. Off course they won't be everybody's cup of tea.

[Briggins]

what 'style' are they?

[Kite]

"Classic" Guitar, Bass, Drums & Keyboard

Their Myspace page:

Good Good :D

[burningmonk]

Pelican's new album, City of Echoes, is realeased in May. Although its already been leaked. Good band.

[StarsKay]

any recommendation for something not as easy-listening as coldplay or keane, but not too in-my-ears like modern mouse. to narrow it down even more, no recommendations to bands that already have threads since i've peaked at a few and nothing has really hit that musical note that i seem to be craving.

anything close would be helpful :)

[talisman]

Blonde Redheads's new album "23" is worth a listen, though not as good as their preview stuff

[Redundancy]

Takk people... Takk!

And after reading through some pages in this thread looking for a new fresh cd to buy i decided to buy Limp Bizkit's Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavoured Water :P man that album is brilliant... used to love Limp bizkit long time ago.

I saw them live last year.:cool:

[CityandColour]

When they toured with Our Lady Peace? sweet. And unfortunantly, I haven't had that pleasure since i'm not Canadian.

[Briggins]

yeah they were opening for OLP, there were 3 opening bands so by the time Neverending White Lights got on I just wanted them to get off and bring on Our Lady Peace!

[CityandColour]

I'd rather see Neverending White Lights, than OLP.

Low - Drums & Guns added to the 1st post as well

http://assets.pitchforkmedia.com/images/image/27506.drumsandguns.jpg?

A stark retreat from the relatively sunny sound of The Great Destroyer, Drums and Guns is, as its title suggests, inspired by the war in Iraq. True to the spirit of Low's other work, the outrage and regret expressed by these songs is just as timeless as it is timely, lamenting that war still exists as much as it addresses this particular war. And, while Drums and Guns' emotions and lyrics are complex (and on songs like "Murderer," with its "seems like you could use another fool," they don't pull any punches), its sound is often devastatingly spare and simple. It's almost hard to believe that the band worked with David Fridmann on this album as well as The Great Destroyer -- where that album was lush and overflowing with sonic tangents, Drums and Guns' sound is raw and restricted to just a few key sounds that underscore its themes. Fittingly, most of the album emphasizes percussion; whether it's the martial-yet-jazzy beat that drives "Sandinista" or the somber, almost industrial thud of "Dragonfly," this approach keeps the songs intimate, powerful, and uniquely modern-sounding. Organ also plays a key role on Drums and Guns, particularly on "Breaker," where it magnifies the anguish of lyrics like "my hand just kills and kills," and "Violent Past," where its massive sound closes the album by swallowing the listener in a cathedral of distortion. Aside from this song and the similarly epic "In Silence," most of Drums and Guns is gently but insistently tense, like a nagging conscience: "Take Your Time"'s looped church bells and "Belarus"' ghostly harmonies are bleakly, uncompromisingly beautiful. Low lightens up a little on the album's middle stretch, with "Hatchet," a plea for peace that's surprisingly playful ("let's bury the hatchet like the Beatles and the Stones"), and "Dust on the Window," where Mimi Parker's sweet voice sounds inherently comforting even as she wonders, "where can a girl get a meal?" Despite these bright spots, this is easily -- and understandably -- Low's darkest album since Trust. Unlike that album, however, Drums and Guns never feels dragged down by its weighty subject matter. It's a lean, potent work, and even if it's not one of Low's most superficially pleasant collections of songs, it's certainly among their most necessary ones.

Kings of Leon - Because of the Times.

I didn't think that Aha Shake Heartbreak would have been able to top their debut (Youth & Young Manhood), but it did it, and the same with Because of the Times. True they ain't anything new, so I doubt that Pitchfork will go all wild over them, but it's old time rock 'n' roll.

[Briggins]

^ I downloaded the album but didn't really like it that much, but it wasn't horrible either. I think it is just when I saw them live they really dissapointed. They were opening up for U2. Their sound was just off, it sounded like alot of noise, but not good noise. If their sound levels were a little better I would have enjoyed them much more.

[burningmonk]

2007 is looking a good year and we're only in March/April!

We've already had great albums from Eluvium, Modest Mouse, EITS, The Arcade Fire and others.

All we need now is Radiohead :D

[Ondes Martenot]

65daysofstatic - The Destruction of Small Ideas added

This album is highly recommended. Probably the best straight post-rock album of the year so far. Intense.

I think Robert Post has his 2nd album out this year. His debut was one of the best of 2005 in my view.

thanks Nik and burningmonk, i really appreciate it guys, i am checking them out right now :wink: thanks!

edit - bros grew on me the second time round! and the crane wife album is pretty good

[Ondes Martenot]

probably worth to mention...

the new NIN leaked (?) / was streamed somewhere (?)

haven't listened to it yet, some people say it sucks badly... don't know if i should give it a try or not

[ClearAsCrystal]

don't ..it sucks. Can you believe a band like NIN can go somewhat alternative radio rock?...well believe me when I tell you and keep far from it. :dozey:

[Ondes Martenot]

HA! okay, i can imagine. so i'm not adding the album to the leaks then

never been a fan of NIN anyway

1 month till the new Elliott!!!

my uncle has a cd coming out later this year. it is going to be his thrid album. it is entitled 'Racing Grey'. his name is steven mark. this is what it says on his website about him: Blending poetic introspective lyrics with sixties inspired musical arrangements and lush vocal harmonies, Steven Mark describes his sound as Elliott Smith meets early REM with a touch of Alice In Chains Unplugged.

please check his stuff out and give me your feedback, i'd really appreciate it

You're welcome.

Speaking of Air's new album I must say I didn't really like it first but after a while I can say I'm enjoying it now pretty much. Photograph, Somewhere Between Waking Ad Sleeping, Redhead Girl... I like them, they sound very airish in my opinion, I have that rare feeling I had when I first got into Air. It's weird though 'cause Pocket Symphony is different from previous Air albums.... But anyway, I like it's style and I can relate to Air's album again, which is great and makes me feel calm and safe lol.

[Ondes Martenot]

the new Air is very much boring

i'd recommend: Caspian - The Four Trees

a pretty good noisy post-rock album.

http://www.megaupload.com/de/?d=JHSNM7AJ

[Lera]

Well many people think all Air albums are boring.... Whatever, I like it.

And I like someone's using this Spoiler tag... gonna give it a try, thankies :wacko:
