Fearthainne - Unveiled
neofolk side-project of the black metal band Fauna. Excluding the intro the average song length on this album is thirty-five minutes, but they're still mere song snippets compared to Fauna's two albums which consist of one song each totalling sixty-three and eighty minutes in length respectively. This is great music but the length of the songs and the album (it's over 140 minutes in length) makes it a bit hard to digest.
Fear Factory - Mechanize.
Awesome album by an awesome band.
Fauna - Rain
Epic album. The buildup is spectacularly done, opening with a lovely twenty-minute acoustic section that begins with a slight atmosphere of foreboding that builds as the piece progresses, until it erupts into furious black metal that continues for most of the rest of the piece. Metal has a lot of excellent album-length pieces but this is one of the best.
The Temper Trap "Sweet Disposition"
I just heard this track off the radio and fell in love with it....
Problem above solved; I was able to fix my Shining rip by splicing in the missing segment from the original version of FisheyeFor some reason they mastered the extended version 1.5 decibels louder though, but that was easily fixed <img src="http://fools-gold.org/forum/images/smilies/monstereat.gif" class="inlineimg" alt="cloutymonster" />
Graves at Sea - Pariah
dooooooooom. I'm mostly listening to this because it's the A-side of a split with Asunder (John Gossard's third band; he was also responsible for writing Weakling and The Gault's songs and has a new band called Dispirit). This is my first time listening to this track but I'm pretty impressed actually; I may have to investigate this band further.
Rock Therapy (Paul Rodgers and Brian May) - Reaching Out
One way converstations going inside my head
everybody has a secret place where to much is unsaid....
Wolves int he Throne Room - (A Shimmering Radiance) Diadem of 12 Stars
SMURF YEAH VINYL. This is probably one of my favourite albums ever recorded. Although I might like Two Hunters even more, but either way, finally owning a physical copy of it in audiophile quality is smurfing amazing. The bonus track (Dagger of Amethyst Crystal) is great too - I can finally replace myty mp3 file with a vinyl rip.
United States of Pop 2009 - DJ Earworm
I love how I love this despite the fact that 90 percent of the songs in this I hate. Amazing what a change of beat and tempo can do to a song.
Mixer - Galaxy Farm
On itunes and can look them up off myspace.
Good song and band.
Reverend Bizarre - Anywhere Out of This World
I used Audacity's Clip Fix to restore dynamic range to this recording. Strangely, after doing that I had to reapply some volume compression to get the recording to sound natural because Clip Fix way overcompensated for the loss of dynamic range in some areas. Still sounds a lot better than the original to my ears.
And oh yeah, the album/band is awesome. Traditional doom metal at its best.
Maximum Black, by Bohren & der Club of Gore, from the album Black Earth.
YouTube - Bohren & Der Club Of Gore - Maximum Black
Dark, brooding ambient-jazz fusion. It's more awesome than you can imagine.

Altar of Plagues - Atlantic Light
As expected, Tides sounds much better on vinyl. Ripping it now. It also has superb gatefold artwork.
The Geek - Wir sind Helden
Kimi Ga Iru Kara - Sayuri Sugawara
