Mirrorthrone - Ils Brandiront leurs Idoles
It's kind of hard to believe all these sounds are created by one guy in his bedroom. The drum machine is obviously a drum machine but everything else is so varied that it's difficult not to be amazed by the depth of sound. I just wish he hadn't volume compressed the recording so much - but luckily, I've found a solution to that with Audacity's Clip Fix, which brings back some of the lost dynamic range. Since discovering that feature and applying it to Mirrorthrone's two most recent albums I've been listening pretty obsessively to them. I'm going back through some other music in my library that was over-compressed and doing likewise.
Of Montreal. Lots of it.
Over :: A Perfect Circle
Best use of piano in a song ever.
Phoenix - 1901
Heard this song on the radio.
Enslaved - Slaget i skogen bortenfor
Simply one of the best Norwegian bands.
No Air - Glee Cast Version
nujabes - summer gypsy. on repeat.. chillin'.
Fearthainne - The Veil
Folk side project of Cascadian black metal pioneers Fauna. Each of their songs is at least thirty minutes in length (with the exception of the intro) but these are still mere song snippets compared to Fauna's, of which the shortest is forty-one minutes long. These songs are beautiful on their own, and given that some of them incorporate elements from some of Fauna's songs makes them part of an even more elaborately conceived whole. Superb music.
