What are you listening to?

[tryptych]

Awesome, organic ambient. Best I've heard from either party. Especially Vol. 2 is great. If you're a fan of Rich, Stearns, Roach, Vidna Obmana etc. etc. you'll love these. Both are from '95.

[seedy]

Luke Howard - Two Places
Stunning new album out this week. His first was wonderful but this really expands the typical 'modern classical' sound out to some post-rock-style tracks, Tim Hecker-esque saturated drone, early 20th century piano + string sounds and lots of other stuff.

[seedy]

anywhere to hear those two "Hungry Void" albums streaming?

[seedy]

oh yeah....especially the first half of this album or so
straight fire!

better link (i hope)

FSOL - Environment Five

highly overestimated [edit: underrated ] by, the world.

Umm, I guess you mean "underrated"?

listened

Shrine - Nihil
Shinkiro - The Cycle Of Rebirth

Dark ambient. Both were really good but not masterpieces. 4/5. Excellent reading music IMO.

next

Inade - The Axxiarm Plains
Amon - Foundation

More dark ambient. I had the Amon one before but lost it because of HDD crash.. it was OK IIRC.

[RazorJack]

Scarface - No Tears
The Diary (1994)

Anyone seen that movie Office Space? I can go on for hours about how that film has influenced my life in a positive way, one of the things being me (re)discovering my love for old skool gangsta rap.

[s0ren]

Great movie indeed!

Amon Tobin - Dark jovian

[Enofa]

Dead Can Dance - The Serpent's Egg

My least favourite '80s DCD but still a really beautiful record.

[Dennis]

The Host of Seraphim is one of my favourite DCD tracks. I'd say for me "Within the realm...", "Serpents Egg" & "Aion" are on the same level of awesomness.

np Blood Ceremony - Lord of Misrule

70ies inspired, female fronted "occult rock"-band with Tull-flute & Hammond Organ. Just love it. Every song a hit. Strong pagan vibe, makes me wanna headbang in a circle of mushrooms under the mistletoe deep in the magician's woods

[Enofa]

Generally I love everything from their '80s period. The self-titled album owes more of the experimental end of goth post-punk and The Serpent's Egg is possibly a bit too much of a 'bridge' album between eras, but overall, self-titled to Aion is a run of albums of the quality very few bands achieve. The '90s stuff is good, but would probably be less impressive out of context of the earlier material.

[Blinker]

Yes, DCD are amazing. The Host Of Seraphim just... I don't really have words for how that song makes me feel.

I'm listening to Enviroments 4 currently. I'm trying again to appreciate it more. It's my least favourite of the Enviroments series.
