MOGWAI - RAVE TAPES (2014)

CHRISTMAS PRESENT :D

AND SO I WATCH YOU FROM AFAR - ALL HAIL BRIGHT FUTURES (2013)
label: sargent house

They are the guitarest post rock band. I love them and they made a new record, and I want to share them so they will be enjoyed some more.

HERE WE GO

I want to place here a link to their best album so far, Gangs (2011, Ritcher Collective).

I love dem boots.

ALCOHOLIC FAITH MISSION - 421 WYTHE AVENUE (2009)
ponyrec

Something very beautiful between Carissa's Wierd and some ambientish indie, something relaxing and therefore universally enjoyable for all you human beings.

DLD. untip the phrase before clicking the download

THE WIND-UP BIRD - THE WIND-UP BIRD (2002)

Do you know Jeromes Dream? They were an important screamo group in the early '90s - late '00s. Among the music, they are remembered becouse their leader Jeff Smith sung without microphone. This made him stop singing and in 2002 he founded The Wind-up Bird with another guy, a violinist or so (who I believe does the most in tthe project). Probably nobody would bet a coin on a screamo guy who turned ambient, right? But here we have one of the best ambient albums I've ever listened to. A mind blowing experience. And most important, this isn't the boring '10s ambient, there aren't only synths and keys, we have a massive range of instruments and, most of all, inspired pieces.

THIS IS THE ONLY EXISTING LINK I BELIEVE - THIS MEANS YOU CAN HAVE THE SHIT

MARK McGUIRE - LIVING WITH YOURSELF (2010)

Do you know the drone band Emeralds? Well they are no more. When I found it out I searched for everything that could supply them, and I found this album by Emerald's guitarist, mark.

I was expecting drone/noise but I found an astounding album. It's just guitar but God how masterfully he uses the effects, it's mindblowing. Brothers is almost unacceptably good. A close reference may be Roy Montgomery  though.

"MARK McGUIRE ON TOP OF A RLLY TALL MOUNTAIN JUST CHILLIN'N SHREDDING W THUNDER COMIN OUT OF HIS GUITAR IN SUPER SLO-MO" (last fm.)

VEX'D - CLOUD SEED (2010)

THEY WERE DOING IT DIRTY BEFORE IT WAS COOL

NEUROSIS - THE EYE OF EVERY STORM (2004)

Just one of the most fucking heavy/athmospheric stuff ever released. Sing Low.

Neurosis. Keep them in mind.

GODLIKE MUSIC

JAMES FERRARO - COLD (2013)

If you ever wanted to hear some music which could make you say "whoa this is definetly '10s stuff!"

Well, you've got it.

I absolutely have no ideas to describe this.

I believe we will remember this in the years...

LISTEN AND CHECK

HELIOS - EINGYA (2006)

Critically acclaimed album from Keith Kenniff, you may know him as Goldmund.

Astounding ambient.

WARNING: QUALITY STUFF

THE APPLESEED CAST - ILLUMINATION RITUAL (2013)

IT'SFUCKINGOUT. OH MY...

CITY OF CATERPILLAR - CITY OF CATERPILLAR (2002)

The first post screamo record ever. The best so far maybe. Several years before the second.

Massive build ups, god-like musicianship.

Their only album. Cult.

NOT MY USUAL EMERGING BAND. A TRUE PIECE OF HISTORY TODAY. VINYL QUOTED TO €450+ IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN.

Белые Флаги Зажигайте Медленно (SET THE WHITE FLAGS ON FIRE SLOWLY) - Даже Если Пролетариат Возьмет Власть В Свои Руки, Весна Все Равно Достанется Нам, А Цели Войны Останутся Целями Войны (EVEN IF THE PROLETARIAT TAKES THE POWER INTO ITS OWN HANDS, THE SPRING WILL BE LEFT FOR US, AND THE AIMS OF WAR WILL REMAIN THE AIMS OF WAR) (2008)

Abbiate paura: non metto la tracklist. La lascio al vostro masochismo.

Resta il fatto che è post rock da ricordarselo bene.

Massive instrumental post rock from snowy Russia. It will fit perfectly in your cold bedroom in the early hours of the morning.

ANOTHER ONE YOU WILL SURELY MISS IF YOU DON'T GRAB IT NOW.

CULT OF LUNA - VERTIKAL (2013)

Arrivano ogni 5-6 anni, puntuali come una cometa. Questa volta sono passati davvero vicino alla Terra e un pò della polvere della loro scia ci è caduta sul capo. In quanti stavamo guardando il cielo, mentre loro si bruciavano in luce?

I often think Umea, Sweden, is a magic city. It put out Cult of Luna, Refused, Meshuggah.

At today, COL is probably the best around between the three.

As Neurosis seem to fade, someone else seems emerging...

PREPARE FOR THE BEHEMOTH

CALLISTO - NOIR (2006)

 

Post ste minchie con contaminazioni doom/prog/ambient e strumenti improbabili.

Ah, pezzi ispiratissimi.

Finnish post/prog/ambient/doom/metal band which can't wait to show you its capabilities.

Of songwriting, of singing, of recording...

...AND SO MUCH MORE... 

 

PRIMA MATERIA - THE TAIL OF THE TIGER (1977)

REAL DRONE GEM

AWAITS YOU

EARTH - ANGELS OF DARKNESS, DEMONS OF LIGHT II (2012)

Continuano la loro strada all'insegna del drone più ligneo e lisergico che ci possa essere. E fanno decisamente bene.

They keep going the same droning way -not incredible-

the fact is part II is way better than I, in my opinion

DRONE GETS IT ALL

GATES - THE SUN WILL RISE AND LEAD ME HOME (2011)

Pop songs inzuppate in fantastiche atmosfere post. Musica per cuori in subbuglio.

They may at first seem anonymous, but at the 2nd listen you get they're great.

Post pop you won't ever have the chance to get.

THIS HEALS CANCER

DEAD CAN DANCE - ANASTASIS (2012)

Un gran gran comeback, sul serio. Il disco più egiziano del mondo. Forse non proprio il loro apice, ma resta un ascolto fighissimo really.

They're back. Ambient-world muzak. It's been 16 years,

but it seems fans'll be able to listen some more DCD before they die.

MUORI/DIE

L'ANARCHISTE - L'ANARCHISTE EP (2011)

Questa è brava gente che ama Bon Iver e sa quello che fa. Emersi l'anno scorso. E' come se Iver avesse una vera band e fosse un pò più gay.

Bon Iver-esque ensamble from Salt Lake City. Very indie -the well meaning one-

very ambient, very folk

free

more than that?

If you Americans are enough lucky to see them live,

kiss them on the cheek and say I asked for it, please.
