Foreign Beggars- Asylum Agenda

my personal favourite UK Hip-Hop album, this is full of BLAZING raps and flow as cold as ice. some of its funkay frash and some of it sounds like a British Eminem. its sick.

verily verily, the Hip-Hop above all Hip-Hops

Aphrodite's Child: 666

This is truly the best non-American/English prog gem out there. 1972's "666" from the Greek prog rockers Aphrodite's Child (whose guitarist/keyboardist/producer Evangelos Papathanassious would later find huge fame under the name Vangelis) marked a new era of concept albums; despite the sometimes misleading title, the entire album is based upon the biblical Book of Revelation (yet it was banned in a huge number of Christian states and countries due to its 'suggestive' cover art- ironic much?). But really, this album has it all; beautiful, glistening, yet heavy psychedelic rock as seen in "The Four Horsemen" and "Aegian Sea"; abstract, dark anthems to humanity as seen in "∞"; jangly, almost comical art rock as seen in "The Beast"; and even some early drum & bass, as seen in "Do It". Definitely a must have for anyone who loves deep, tasteful, yet varied progressive rock.

Best tracks IMO: The Four Horsemen, Aegian Sea
Must hear: ∞, Do It, The Beast, Loud Loud Loud

1. The System
2. Babylon
3. Loud, Loud, Loud
4. The Four Horsemen
5. The Lamb

10. Lament
11. The Marching Beast
12. The Battle of the Locust

Rosetta- The Galilean Satellites

you thought Omega Massif was grushing? TRY THIS ON FOR SIZE. intense buildups with legit riffs and the vox are like ARGH I AM STUCK IN THE SLUDGE PIT

Mother Europa calling me

Pondering what star will bring me where,
when will I get there,
who will I find,
calling out my name.

Across the forever night,
take me to see her,
the monolith,
that knows the tales,
dwelling inside man,
telling of the names,
dwelling inside me.

Take me to see her,
the monolith,
that knows the tales,
of my own misery,
crying out now.

Europa please,
hear my own screams,
how long will I.

How will I move on
How will I move on

Please take me again,
crossing over,
the nomad in roam,
searching on.

Stifled thoughts.
No way crossing over.
No way.
No way crossing over.
Take me away.

I'm Pondering what star will bring me where,
when will I get there,
who will I find,
calling out my name in the open.

The monolith,
dwelling inside man,
through the open.

Pink Floyd: Meddle

This is another forgotten gem in the vault of epic prog from the early seventies. Pink Floyd's 1971 album "Meddle" contains my favorite song of theirs, "Echoes". This 23-minute epic suite took up all of side 2 of the original LP (which I proudly own), and signifies the point where Pink Floyd went from being a jangly, psychedelic acid band, to becoming the most respected progressive rock group of all time. Also on the album is the perhaps the heaviest of all Floyd tracks, "One of These Days", an eerie, echo-bass driven anthem to the dark side of the human mind. The others are more acoustic and chill, while "A Pillow of Winds" is very folky.

Best track BY FAR: Echoes
Must hear: Fearless, One of These Days, A Pillow of Winds

1. One of These Days
2. A Pillow of Winds
3. Fearless
4. San Tropez
5. Seamus
6. Echoes

I'll throw in a little fun fact- in '67, the Floyd were asked, by Stanley Kubrick, to do the soundtrack for 2001: a Space Odyssey (which, if you haven't seen, you REALLY should), but turned the offer down, as they were already working on a soundtrack for a french film (that actually sucked and was a box office bomb). However, once the movie came out in '68, they regretted missing the opportunity... and if you synchronize the first "ping" sound at the beginning of "Echoes" with the moment the title for the last act of the movie appears, the song perfectly synchronizes with the trippiest movie ending of all time. This can be seen here.

Kyuss: Sons of Kyuss

Track Listing:

1. Deadly Kiss

2. Window of Souls

3. King

4. Isolation Desolation

5. Love Has Passed Me By

6. Black Widow

7. Happy Birthday

8. Katzenjammer

Epic stoner rock from Queens of the Stone Age and Them Crooked Vultures' Joshua Michael Homme III, before either of those bands. This album was recorded in 1990 before the band changed their name from Sons of Kyuss to simply Kyuss. One of the best stoner rock bands of all time, this album is full of churning, detuned, heavier than hell riffs of all time. So turn this on, sit back, and experience the sonic journey that is Kyuss.

*shels- Discography

*shels is the band that got me on the Post-Metal kick that i've been on for the last 4 months. the vocals are harmonic and not harsh (ie Isis) and the guitar work is extremely good. i wish i could find some tabs for this so i could jam =/
ask and you shall receive


Sea of a Dying Dhow

im not sure why but the italics button wont let me type normally so now what im typing looks very dramatic and well thought out. well its not. ive listened to this album not nearly as many times as Laurentian's Atoll but its just as good, even though its an EP without being an EP in spirit

you have chosen wisely

12. Women I Belong To

Here's some awesome straight-up, no-frills indie rock. Actually that's kind of an oxymoron. Indie Rock is full of bells, whistles, and frills, and so is this album. Which is precisely what makes it awesome. There isn't a ton of experimentation on here, but it still manages to feel very fresh and exciting while at the same time familiar. A winning combination, if you ask me. Which you did if you decided to read this blog.
