Manyfingers - Our Worn Shadow 2006

Manyfingers, despite the name is actually a one man band by Chris Cole. I think this guy has an interesting approach to music, he plays every instruments of course but what chiefly drew my attention is not that, it's the way he adds them on top of each other, so many layers of sound! actually i dont know how he does it to keep the overall sound so loose and tight at the same time! of course the obvious drawback to this approach is that by using loops one cannot develop or maybe unfold his ideas thouroughly, unless you use very long loops of course! ^^...but that's also to make do with the limits imposed by a framework ..and i think he handles it pretty well whatsoever! enjoy!

睡蓮 - ひたひた(2008)

This time we leave France to go back to the country of the rising sun! 睡蓮 which is a name of a flower is here a duo making some sort of electronic music...sometimes it makes me think about the soundtrack of FF7 ...though it's not really the same I guess!lol anyway, a very relaxing kind of music, with interesting arrangements and melodies...perhaps a bit like Every Little Thing at times but with more traditional influences and ambiances, and also a more Trip-Hop kind of sound....check'em out!

Film School - Film School 2006

brought you some flower this morning! ^^ no it's not pop, it's just rock or perhaps post-rock from SF, USA! if you like 80's influenced bands that one should really appeal to you ...and if you don't, no worries there is much more to dig and find out! they sound a bit like pink floyd or radiohead perhaps at time, cause they use quite a lot of synth sounds in their song though you don't hear it that much, it's rather subtle and completely tie the whole thing up...that this band is really good at making atmosphere, that's why i compared it to PF or R so hope you enjoy, i do ^^

Varo - hardcore beach

well as you can see iam back again ...not for long i guess but doesnt matter! ^^ Perhaps you know these girls cause apparently they come from Taiwan...anyway, their style is really pretty cool, a lot of electronic from ambiant atmosphere to a more AFX like type of thing, grinding guitars a bit in the style of Atari TR but less aggressive even so! add a smidgen of cold dark Burzumesque atmosphere here and there...this is electronic music for the most part, ....and it's pretty f"4^^ng awesome!

Blind Passengers - Bastard (1999)

i'm back online, don't really know how long this is gonna last ( a long time i hope...) but at least i can make a new play =) so here is a band that play some music in the style of marylin manson or some shit like that...basically metal and industrial =) don't know anything about those guys but i quite enjoy their style so i hope you will as well...anyway one thing is for sure is that i won't have the time to make as many plays as i used to = / ... and my music collection is rather stagnating at the moment as i have shitloads of problems grabbing anything that is on foreign land... but does this matter??! not at all! ^^ as long as i can play some stuff once and a while...you see...metal nevers dies... the ancient phoenix rises again from its smouldering ashes .... but first the mighty dragon must come by and kick his butt...and hopefully it did it once more!! ah ah! enjoys!

Herbie Hancock - Future 2 Future 2001

As you'll hear it is not exactly like Krush but as i said i think their styles somewhat echo each other. H.H is mainly known for what he does in jazz but this one album, if it is still jazz, has nothing convetionnal in it! the music is done with samplers and turntable ...and a few keyboards of course! well, if you are acquainted with Herbie's sort of psychedelic style then you should feel comfortable in no time...i understand that perhaps some of his fan from the early fusion style period may be a little disappointed but to me H.H just shows with this record what a talented musician he is, no matter what he uses to make his music....if a bad workman blames his tool as we say, then not an instrument in this world need to fear him! ah ah! enjoy!

[TOXIC WAR] Blockhead - Downtown Science

Blockhead walks a fine path between many different styles...the rhythm is grounded in Hip Hop most of the time but as far as everything else is concerned, the musical scope used here is quite extended! going from R&B to rock, to electronic or even heavy metal riffs, then suddenly a smidgen of blues or a traditional tinges is cast forth and take over ....well i let you do the listing of all that is to be found in there!lol what is sure is that this artist's mind is brimming over with original ideas and should not bore you for a split second! enjoy! =D

[TOXIC WAR] Diva Destruction - Passion's Price

Diva Destruction is a band in which two women from the US launched into creating a strange mix between spacey electronic and gothic rock! to me it sound a bit like some pop stuff from the 80's, mostly because of that basic 4/4 drum rhythm made by a machine (sounds like it at least!lol) but that's not very important! the music is pretty cool and dark, almost like a remote church choir trying to summon old demons .... or lost lovers perhaps cause the lyrics revolves around rather romantic themes! ^^

[TOXIC WAR] Four Tet - Rounds

Four tet is some strange stuff for though it is electronic, it is not easy to pigeonhole (to me at least!) but one thing is for sure the music is really cool and laid back...this is not the irksome type! i discovered that band thanks to Radiohead, cause they were doing remixes for them, and since then it has stayed a band of interest to me...so i hope it will turn out to be one for you as well! =D

High Tone - Live 2003

This one band is unknown to most of you, i'm sure pretty sure about it! they come from a city called Lyon in the eastern part of france and they formed in 97 or so. They basically play Dub music, but they have also integrated plenty of other influences ranging from electro, to hip hop or Traditional, and even trance/techno music at times, so as to better widen their musical scope ...and the list is far from complete! =D in the end the outcome is just brilliant and the music itself is quite dynamic never letting you down for one second! well, it's not metal but almost as good as it! don't waste time, just light it up and rise on to cloud nine me brethren! ^^

Биопсихоз (Biopsyhoz) - P.L.O.D (2007)

While, i'm strolling outside the metal sphere, i play this Russian band which glide about in an industrial world of his own! =) well it can somewhat sound like The prodigy or be even more on the other side of the metal fence and sound like real electronic music, like The Propellerheads ...overall, i would say they are a bit more on the metal side, but not that much! They sing in Russian and it sounds pretty cool for that kind of music in my opinion, the music pace is generally rather slow and more of the ambient/mesmerizing kind, like some Gothic stuff with ethereal voices and whispered lyrics...well, welcome into a new age, the dark era of state-of-the-art technology! ~~enjoy~~!

Gang Gang Dance - God's Money 2005

This is a band from the US, N.Y.C, that plays some sort of techno music...well if it's not techno at least it's electronic music. They have a very special style that i find very entertaining, they also remind me of some Japanese electronic music makers whose names i have forgotten! ah ah! What i like in particular in their music is the way they carry their listener from very peaceful ambiances to more apocalyptic ones...well apocalyptic is perhaps not the most befitting term as it's never really that aggressive (though it can be quite dark), but at times you just get the impression that there is no structure, nothing upholding what you hear, just as if it was not real! it's weird!lol to me that's the main strength of that album... like it's not really from this world! enjoy =)

塞宁- 珍珠饭店 2005

that artist called 塞宁, i am not sure where she's from if it's HK, TW or China... her style is rather eclectic and original as she mixes jazz, pop, and electronic sound, depending on the song...hope you'll like it and i take any info about her if you happen to have some (cause everything i find is in chinese and it's not easy to decipher!!ah ah!) =D

well... i can't remember the last time i played something really weird, so i thought i needed to remedy to that as soon as possible! ... i guess i did it! i know no other band like the one of those crazy japanese girls! ah ah! Ooioo will in turn make you smile, perplex you, astound you, maybe terrify you, ...and so on and so forth ....and even make you wonder what you're listening to! ah ah! there is no way you can foresee where they will carry you the next second, but the trip is definitely worth taking.... so take a deep breath and brace yourself for a dive deep into an unfathomed abyss of alien music ..... Gooooo! =D

Copter4016882 - perfect joke

it's been a long time since the last time i played something (not too much time at the moment sorry!), so here is a fav album of mine! beware it's no metal, it's techno! ah ah...well not that BoOm bOoM kind of...a more subtle one...from Japan...perhaps it's more like what some call electro music...whatever, call it what you want! i find it cool and it's all that count! =) i like the sweet voice of the female singer a lot and the, at time, jungle/hiphop rhythm or mostly funky, 70's like rhthym they use...i just hope one thing ...that i didn't play that one before, cause the more i play stuff in here and the more i forget what i played before!lol enjoy!

I'm not a Gun - We Think As Instruments 2006

this fav album of mine which was made by two guys coming from very different spheres. Indeed, the first one is John Tejada (not so famous to me!lol) and he is mainly known for playing techno music and electronic stuff, the second is Takeshi Nikimoto who is a very good jazz (and classical) guitarist from the U.S. =) the music is pretty much like electronic overall but it's one of the best i heard so far cause it's pretty subtle and not so common... a few weeks ago we were waging a Prog War, and regading that, that one could have easily fit into the category of quiet weapon of mass destruction!lol have fun with it!

[Prog War] Tangerine Dream - Melrose (1990)

You certainly know Tangerine Dream...it is a band i discovered a long time ago by listening to old vynils of a friend ...if you are acquainted with the old TD, then this one is not really in the same style, it much more thought out and gives less the impression of an improvised feel (none indeed!lol) i still have an old vynil that i ripped and i must admit i like their old style much better, here there is no more guitar (except a few soudclips) and it's all electronic.... nevertheless this album is pretty cool and when after several listening you get to know it, you appreciate it all the more, cause it's a pretty subtle one... very well balanced... and you can either listen to it attentively without being bored or use it as a musical background and it won't disturb you... sounds like a swiss army knife album!lol =)

It's the middle of the night here, and look at me grinning =) ....a grindcore frenzy took hold of me!lol this band is really crazy and the vocalist spends his time screaming his head off like mad! ah ah! the guitars play completely dissonent melodies ....and the drum is given free reign and sounds like a WWIII machine gun!! still music you wonder?? well yes i believe so!lol it's dark, powerfull and makes me headbang quite a lot...snapped two sinews just writting that short intro!lol ...and better do it quick cause the tracks are only a few seconds long...for grindcore's sake of course! the whole album is under half an hour for that matter...so enjoy or die you won't have time for thinking or anything else!!

Iperyt - Totalitarian Love Pulse (2006)

I have no idea what's to be the future of BM, but what's for sure is that the battle for it will definitely take place in Poland.

Hexstatic - master view 2004

if I remember well (which is not for sure lol) I discovered these guys (a duo from the UK) by looking at who took part in the soundtrack of the movie called Snatch. their style is some mix of easy listening electronica in the vein of The chemical Brother, and more experimental / ambient stuff, ...even including a song sung in Japanese!lol. These guy are pretty good at what they're doing ...actually i don't like the second track too much but that's the only one you might want skip (and it's not so bad even so!lol) cause everything else is well worth listening to!!...well let's say it's a moment of calm before the upcoming storm! enjoy!
