Music Thread.
I thought a trio of themed threads about other entertainment media might be good. If you're not interested, please just ignore the thread and pick some threads that interest you from here: http://celephais.net/board/view_all_threads.php

Anyway, discuss music...

Vile Imbeciles 
A band formed by ex-Eighties B-Line Matchbox Disaster guitarist Andy Huxley that produced initially barely listenable experimental rock, who's latest album is actually pretty awesome:

http://vileimbeciles.bandcamp.com/album/d-is-for-w

Every time I listen to this album, I like it more than the last time I heard it. I love how eccentric the guitar riffs are and I'm pretty sure there are songs where all the members (5 during the recording of this album) are singing different things at the same time :)

p.s. bandcamp is awesome! can stream the music for free, good prices, you can pay extra if you like the artist and you don't need any login or stupid bullshit.

Also: http://comtruise.bandcamp.com/ 
 
First draft of Sleepdrive 2: http://www.quaddicted.com/stuff/temp/spirit-sleepdrive2_20120429.ogg

Gonna add The Big Empty from http://archive.org/details/fbl005IveLost-DissociativeFugue too

So far it is only 4 tracks I think. 
 
hard to comment on an hour of audio... kinda just left it playing in the background while i was mapping.

it's very relaxing though. 
 
That's the whole point though. :)
The first track is too annoying to me, I need to change it.

Today in Music For NeGkE That Will Not Lead To Video Blockage On YouTube is http://archive.org/details/DAST034_LP__strehm_and_nadejda_going_to_stardom_-_fruelingsgefuele
Super deep awesome minimal house techno something. 
 
 
New album by Arjen Anthony Lucassen is out! "Lost In The New Real"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHNaw_hkEeU awesome narrated video 
 
(That's the guy behind Star One and Ayreon etc) 
 
Hmmm that sounds pretty good spirit. I usually avoid this thread because it's always just metal that's posted here, but that's a bit more mellow. Is the rest of Arjen's new album similar to this? 
 
There was a lot of electronic stuff lately, if you are interested in that. 
Biggie Smalls Vs. Thomas The Tank Engine 
Awesome

track 8. Loud and with a system that can do low frequency bass, so sexy. 
 
found some nice free darkish atmospheric ambient ambient again, [iD.059] Michael Hoffmann - Mind Trips (EP). The label's page is down but you can find it easily online.

My Latest... Doomstyle 
 
What software you using Fern? 
ZQF 
Sequencing: FL Studio

Guitars and Bass: Old version of FL Slayer with a HUGE amount of tweaking to make it sound as little like FL Slayer as possible.

Drums: FPC set with a commercial kit - I forget the source but that's why I paid for it, so I wouldn't have to. :P

Vintage Synths: Wasp and Wasp XT mostly stock presets.

Weird noises: Toxic Biohazard with all knobs randomized and/or heavily abused until something interesting happens Reaktor style.

Eq and Mastering: mostly EQUO and Maximus

It is really sounding like Slayer indeed.. Maybe missing a little bit of bass and saturation, but wow... :) 
 
Cool, I've been messing around with FL Studio, I can't really get Slayer sounding right. As soon as you add drive to make individual notes stand out more it just fills with scratching noises :(

Any way you could share your settings for it? :E 
 
JPL: sounding like the BAND Slayer is desirable. Sounding like the overrated and overpriced VST Slayer, not so much.

ZQF: maybe if I ever actually finalize the settings I'll post the presets - but you'll probably be disappointed as they're not very different from what already comes with the program. The difference is that many of the controllers (damping, harmonic, pick position, feedback, etc.) need to be in constant motion because the minute you let a single one of them sit still, it starts to sound like a synthesizer again. Keep in mind that a real guitar has a good clean sound and all the effects that are added to it merely amplify and enhance that initial sound. Slayer is the exact opposite. When you remove all the effects from Slayer, you don't get a clean guitar sound. You get a Karplus string tone that sounds like absolute shite. So instead of a real guitarist showing off how awesome his Les Paul or Strat sounds with the pedals attached, a Slayer user is piling on a very delicate sequence of effects specifically to conceal the fact that the foundational sound completely SUCKS.

I was referring to the band, obviously !

Number stations are so damn awesome. I love having http://archive.org/details/ird059 (The Conet Project - Recordings of Shortwave Numbers Stations [ird059]) in the background. Caught one myself randomly some weeks ago.
