fabriclive.55 by shackleton is some dark shit
this guy's style is so far out... he reminds me of like the 'true' dub you get in bristol (peverelist & co), only mixed with all sorts of dark, tribal shit from other genres that really shouldn't really 'work'. his bass lines don't hit like any other dubstep, they just slowly slither in and out, all moody and sub-tone... but it somehow, over the course of an entire set, creates an atmosphere and a sense of space that is just as menacing as any oscillator-driven hard-hitter.
get the mix if you dig this vibe
give the whole song its 7 and a half minutes... by the end you'll be left with a taste in your mouth, that's for sure. the last 2 minutes when the vocal sample is allowed to drop is, imo, incredible. some of the most understated, yet haunting, dubstep you'll hear. this is what burial would sound like if he dropped a load of dark-psychotic drugs and never came back from the nether.
also, ricardo villalobos did a 20 minute reconstruction of the above song, turning that vocal sample into a drawn-out minimal techno closer. if you like what you hear, and if you're familiar with villalobos (i.e. as being one of the top minimal dj's/producers in the world), then you'd definitely do well to lend it your ear.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 Soundtrack

If the movie had any emotion at all, the music itself doesn't carry it.

some of the best detroit techno/electro to ever be made... legends of the scene: DREXCIYA
these are staple classics for any self-respecting fan of electronic music. the wire magazine did a major retrospective of their work/vision/ideology in last month's issue and it inspired me to dig back through my old itunes collection. so much classic, timeless music! this really is a complete, artistic project, in every sense of the word- aesthetically, ideologically, creatively. don't sleep on it. one essential work: The Quest.

The name Drexciya refers to an imaginary subcontinent populated by water breathing militaristic mutants called Drexciyans. Every EP is an episode from this world. On 94's "Aquatic Invasion", artist Frankie C Fulitz illustrates Drexciyan wavejumpers "somewhere over the Atlantic". They have diving masks and webbed feet. In the Aquatic Invasion's label communique, 'The Unknown Writer' - possibly 'Mad' Mike Banks - explains how the the Drexciyans have teamed up with Underground Resistance in their ongoing perceptual war against planetary control systems incarnated in the Audiovisual Programmers. This briefing doesn't channel the sensations of hostility that swarm off the vinyl. On the contrary, it ensnares you in sensations of vigilance, makes you target and aggressor, inducts you into their Forever War.
In their six year history, Detroit's ultra-elusive electronic duo Drexciya have surfaced periodically, four or maybe five times, giving stern, brief interviews that read like briefings from an unannounced war. There are few if any pictures available. Intensifying the modus operandi of open secrecy adopted by Underground Resistance and Basic Channel, they have obsolesced biography and personality, generating a vacuum filled by machine music mythology, an electronic mythos further mystified rather than clarified by The Quest, their first and final CD.
From 1991-97, each Drexciya EP - "Deep Sea Dweller", "Bubble Metroplis", "Molecular Enhancement", "The Unknown Aquazone" double pack, "Aquatic Invasion", "The Journey Home", "The Return of Drexciya", "Uncharted" - has pursued a second wave Electro that purges all tom-toms, cowbells and claves, leaving a caustic Techno soundworld that intimidates, enthrals and terrorises. The title track of 93's "Bubble Metropolis" EP is a tone film in which a Drexciyan submersible docks at Lardossan Cruise Control. "AquaWormhole", on the same EP, is their loveliest track by far; an underwater skank of ear caressing striations and bubblicious synth.
Both are exceptions in the unremittingly alien explorations into what they call aquatic assault programming. Instead of emulating orchestras or choirs, they use the synthesizer as a sonic weapon, which Xenakis calls a Sonotron, to pulsate, emit and radiate inharmonic tones. Drexciya specialise in tones that scour and slide at the same time. Harsh glissement, dry wetness, acrid liquid, alkaline solutions. Rather than projecting imaginary soundtracks onto the mind's screen, Drexciyan Techno puts a distance between you and it. To listen is to be shut out of their inhuman world. You want in to that world but all your senses tell you that you won't survive it.
Drexciya's anempathetic tones repudiate musicality, block the pathways to familiar emotions and get directly on your nerves. This nervous excitation is carving new routes through the distributed brain which is you, firing neuroelectric charges across the synaptic junctures. The machines are mutating you, conducting frequencies across your skin that lower body temperatures, inhibiting, constricting until you want to flee from the skin you're in. The Sonotron provokes tactile hallucinations, the sensations of being scoured, abraded, attacked by angles and hydrocubes, the Drexciyan equivalent of rubber bullets.

steve reich and terry riley are neoclassical
max richter and johann johannsson are neoclassical
some metal band are not 'neoclassical' just because they have strings and wanky solos

Currently in an E.S. Posthumus phase.
noice 
no, but they are neoclassical metal because of the strings and wanky solos. in fact, that's pretty much the definition of neoclassical metal.Uzique wrote:

How about some wonderfully smooth nu-jazz from the Scandinavians?
Fresh.
Fresh.
The shape of an eye in front of the ocean, digging for stones and throwing them against its window pane. Take it down dreamer, take it down deep. - Other Families
how can you call scandinavian nu-jazz 'fresh'?
did you miss xploding plastix and jaga jazzist when they first came around... in 2003?
you're so on the pulse it's unbelievable

Some of us pride ourselves on being magnificently off the beat. I wish I was one of them. No excuses here, arbiter of elegance.Uzique wrote:

Andrew Bird is an amazing musician. Some of his music is a little out there but it's very relaxing. Kind of American folky.
