Keyblade Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Epic post-rock, shoegaze album. One of the best this year. Don't quite buy into the hype for this, but fwiw Dream House and Irresistible are absolutely fanfuckingtastic. Too many boring interludes and Vertigo really bring this album down. Also, it's very much a black metal album. Currently listening to: 90's black metal from Austria. Excellent stuff, and has Silenius from Summoning on vocals for a little trivia.

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 It often gets hailed as a 'masterpiece'. Well, it isn't that. There are still plenty of good songs on it, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha - Vertigo is one of my favourite tracks on it Yeah, there's definite black metal touches to it, but I think the shoegaze, and post rock elements make it a really expansive album.

Keyblade Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Agreed. I just wish every track were as good as Dream House. Man, that track is sooo good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xann Posted July 24, 2013 Author Share Posted July 24, 2013 Like the Naxos Korngold film scores, but for the Violin Concerto I'd gravitate to the EMI orchestral works double CD. Naxos also do the historic Heifetz recording. Jascha Heifetz was astounding, "Too perfect" was a criticism leveled at him by one of my academic former customers.

snowychap Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 After catching a bit of the Bowie/Ziggy doc on one of the channels, have wrapped myself up in the comforting blanket of Hunky Dory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xann Posted July 27, 2013 Author Share Posted July 27, 2013 The Soundcarriers - 'The Other World of the Soundcarriers' It's pretty much instro, what vox there are wordless. The overall production is more retro soundtrack and cavernous than both 'Celeste' and 'Harmonium'. Waited for a CD, only to find it was going to be vinyl or nowt. Disappointing. Never mind, it's a cool album. Pretty looking press, and as a nice touch, it finishes with a locked groove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
