Ahh, yes, you could point in me the direction of music I need to check out. I'm fucking around on youtube while I wait for the DI. :lol:
You can never have too much music. I only have 699 songs. Deprived!

Though the important question is: do you know where to download from? i.e. are you familiar with Sordo? I imagine you aren't exactly the keenest downloader usually. :wink:

Heh, not really. I don't do much downloading, since, obviously, I can't.

Well, if you felt like it, you could start off by completing PT's discography: Full Discography : Porcupine Tree-New album,Discography Area

Now, as for Sordo, it's a database that tends to turn up the goods more often than not, with links to albums on Send Space, Rapid Share, etc. The database is here: quack (password is quack)

Ooh, thank you for that.
I'm on part II of the DI now. This is taking about 20 minutes per section, but that sure beats an hour per song!
 
How the hell did you manage to read anything I wrote last night/this morning?
I feel sorry for Reggo, she probably couldn't read the replies I sent her. :laugh:
 
Sordo has Pure Reason Revolution's album The Dark Third. Check it out.

I'm kind of curious what you'd make of my kind of metal. The entire Agalloch discography, or thereabouts, is on Sordo. The Mantle is probably the place to start for somebody not actually into metal.

I was going to say to get some good Kiwi music into you, but Sordo has no Crowded House. It does have Time And Tide by Split Enz, though! The remaster too. Khan would recommend it; I think Frenzy and True Colours are better albums to get. But if it's all there is, it's worthwhile.

It depends on how your kind of metal sounds. I don't hate metal, but a lot of it I have issues with tolerating. Mostly, what I always tell you about - and that is, the crap my brother and his buddies listen to. I mean, come on, what the fuck? Mushroom Head? Nile? Come on. Anything unintelligible is what I tend to not like.

Compared to what people like Kim and Ravva have posted, it was bloody easy. :lol:

Ooh, Sordo has No-Man's album Schoolyard Ghost. SW plays all instruments.

Astonishingly, no Dream Theater on Sordo. They were briefly my favourite band between U2 and PT, mainly for their early work. Huge crossover between PT and DT fans. Find the albums Images And Words and Awake somewhere, and the song A Change Of Seasons (on an EP of the same name that isn't worth it outside of ACOS).

Well, I suppose that would be comparing to some of their postings. :lol:

Ooh, I have yet to hear anything from No-Man. I trust they are good?
Oh, now I've got a reason, damn you for making me an SW fangirl! Damn you to hell!

... for the fuck of it.

I'd never heard of Dream Theater until you told me about them, either.

I have been known to describe Agalloch's music as The Unforgettable Fire on metal. They play a sprawling, atmospheric style, drawn from black and folk metal. John Haughm has one of the most comprehensible rasps I've ever heard, and his clean vocals are very good too.

My other favourite metal band, who also do the variation between harsh and clean vocals, is Orphaned Land. Alas, nothing on Sordo. But their album Mabool is a milestone in metal. I can't say I ever expected a metal song to feature a passage from the Torah as its sole lyrics, followed by a beautiful piano outro, but it happens on that album.

Also, I'm going to e-mail you a song by Opeth, Bleak. The first 3.5 minutes are flat-out death metal with Mikael Akerfeldt's death growls, but then the middle section features beautiful clean harmonies between Akerfeldt and, yes, Steven Wilson. SW produced the entire album it's on, and that production job in turn influenced In Absentia.
 
:wave:

So something had to give, and I decided that the annoying boy was it. So I deleted his number from my phone and I'm about to go delete my myspazz prof.

Unforgetable Fire on metal, eh? I might just like that. :drool: As long as I can halfway understand it, I'm willing to check it out.

Ooh, I'll be waiting for that. You said the magic words. Steven Wilson. :wink:

I've had mixed feelings about No-Man. I'm not the biggest fan of Tim Bowness's vocals. But Schoolyard Ghosts is a fantastic album; Pigeon Drummer and Truenorth both fucking slay.

Dream Theater is the most prominent band of the third wave of prog, and although they weren't the first to play progressive metal, they pretty much single-handedly took it from being the domain of a few obscure bands (e.g. Watchtower, Psychotic Waltz) and made it a legitimate subgenre. I prefer their less metal stuff - I think they were better before they went balls to the wall and decided to be more Metallica or Iron Maiden and less Rush or Pink Floyd. Images And Words is the definitive third wave prog album, though it could perhaps be said it has been replaced by In Absentia and Porcupine Tree have become the flagbearers. Certainly PT's rising star and increasing popularity would indicate they are overtaking DT.
 
I bought my blank CDs finally. Now I can burn my vinyl. :drool:

I'll have to check them out as well.

Well, one thing I know about DT is that they're a bunch of ugly buggers! :lol:
 
I'm trying to get Ben to listen to some PT, but he keeps handing the headphones back to me 45 seconds into the song. :tsk:

I can understand almost every rasped Agalloch lyric. Certainly I have no trouble singing along when I feel like it.

You know, I've been pushing this random shit that I'm curious how you'll take, and overlooking the obvious stuff. And I've probably given you more than enough to investigate already. But I was just looking around and I was wondering if you'd ever listened to any Joy Division. Most people say the Closer album is their defining album, but I think Unknown Pleasures is substantially superior. Disorder, New Dawn Fades, and She's Lost Control are three of my favourite songs ever.
 
I need some good Joy Division tracks for DI VI to choose from...Got anything 2 minutes or less?

No, I've never listened to them either.
Clearly I am sheltered. :reject:
 
I believe the only song I have over 45 minutes in length is the 60:06 Light Of Day, Day Of Darkness by Green Carnation.

PT comes close with the 40:07 version of Moonloop.
