Röyksopp - Senior - 2010

"Trying something new... I will listen to a new album for the 1st time and journal my thoughts track by track.

Track 1/9: No dancey Euro bullshit as of yet. Nice intro to the album.
Track 2/9: Sounds like an Air song. Minimal. Soaring. Mellow groove.
Track 3/9: “The Drug” Started off slow then progressed into a jumpy synth laced spasm. Kind of Four Tet-ish.
Track 4/9: “Tricky Two” aww man sounds like a revisiting of that annoying counting song (6 afraid of 7 cuz 7 8 9) with the broad from fever ray off the last album :( But with out the shitty singing so its an improvement! Pretty standard Royky beats. Got really fast! Slow it down duuuders! Damn 8 min track.
Track 5/9: “The Fear” This is a good track! Im feeling this shit! Dramatic. Very reminiscent of the stuff I liked from their previous LPs
Track 6/9: “The Alcoholic” Dope! The beat sounds wasted! Super woozy and stumbling like me on a Thursday night! Good track! Or maybe Im biased due to my love of drinking?!
Track 7/9: Ambient sounding. Not to much happening so far. Seems like filler. I always kind of feel tracks like this are a waste of time... Never really DO anything and I would never want to hear it again.
Track 8/9: “Forsaken Cowboy” Definitely sounds like a electronic western score... Like these fools just rode into town on digital horseback. Kind of Air-ish again. Pleasing rhythm. Good chill-out/background music
Track 9/9: ”Coming Home” Im not sure what to say... This is fine. Im not mad. Its kind of generic. Sounds like it could be samples from The Princess Bride!

Shitballs! I might have to say this is my favorite Royksopp release thus far from these Norwegian beat mongers! No gay shit at ALL & no vocals to my pleasant surprise! Just some solid tracks and an overall enjoyable listen.

PS -- I listen to albums shuffled on my iPod so the #s do not coincide with the track #s) "

y'all mothafucka's will enjoy

This is gonna get royky

GIVERS - GIVERS - 2010

Givers are a young quintet from Lafayette, Louisiana, the local openers for Dirty Projectors last year at Chelsea’s in Baton Rouge. The Projectors hadn’t heard them before that night but were impressed enough to ask them to join them on their next tour through the South and the East Coast. We’re impressed, too, and easily understand why Longstreth & Co. would be into their eclectic, ecstatic, celebratory, knotty, vocally rich sound. It’s unclear if they got their name from the Lucky Dragons song, but their music’s packed with that sort of psychedelic buoyancy, homegrown exoticism (here, Afropop via the American South), and rattling optimism/joy. You may hear Vampire Weekend, but via something a bit more expansive and shaggy like Poi Dog Pondering or another Dirty Projector tourmate (and BTW), tUnE-YarDs. That, and the kids can play and sing with the best of them. Look no further than their two standout singles: Obvious favorite “Up Up Up” and the slightly mellower “In My Eyes” (with its swirling, sea-at-sunset beauty) to see what we mean.

i'm giv'n this to you

Penguin Cafe Orchestra-Signs of Life-1987

The Penguin Cafe Orchestra was the creation of classically-trained guitarist, composer and arranger Simon Jeffes. More than 20 other musicians joined the collective as the band grew and developed, and many of these appear on the PCO's six studio albums as required by the instrumentation of particular pieces. After becoming disillusioned with the rigid structures of classical music and the limitations of rock music, in which he also dabbled, Jeffes became interested in the relative freedom in ethnic music and decided to imbue his work with the same sense of immediacy and spirit. Describing how the idea of the Penguin Cafe Orchestra came to him, Jeffes said:

"In 1972 I was in the south of France. I had eaten some bad fish and was in consequence rather ill. As I lay in bed I had a strange recurring vision, there, before me, was a concrete building like a hotel or council block. I could see into the rooms, each of which was continually scanned by an electronic eye. In the rooms were people, everyone of them preoccupied. In one room a person was looking into a mirror and in another a couple were making love but lovelessly, in a third a composer was listening to music through earphones. Around him there were banks of electronic equipment. But all was silence. Like everyone in his place he had been neutralized, made grey and anonymous. The scene was for me one of ordered desolation. It was as if I were looking into a place which had no heart. Next day when I felt better, I was on the beach sunbathing and suddenly a poem popped into my head. It started out 'I am the proprietor of the Penguin Cafe, I will tell you things at random' and it went on about how the quality of randomness, spontaneity, surprise, unexpectedness and irrationality in our lives is a very precious thing. And if you suppress that to have a nice orderly life, you kill off what's most important. Whereas in the Penguin Cafe your unconscious can just be. It's acceptable there, and that's how everybody is. There is an acceptance there that has to do with living the present with no fear in ourselves."

The Penguin Cafe Orchestra recorded and performed for 24 years until Jeffes died of a brain tumor in 1997. Some of their most popular songs include Music for a Found Harmonium (the song from the end of Napoleon Dynamite), Telephone and Rubber Band, and Perpetuum Mobile which can be found on this album.

Give it a listen, won't you?

ANAMANAGUCHI - Dawn Metropolis - 2009

Anamanaguchi is a chiptune punk band from New York City that "makes loud, fast music with a hacked NES from 1985."^[1] The band has four members: lead songwriter Peter Berkman, bassist James DeVito, guitarist Ary Warnaar and drummer Luke Silas.^[2] Akin to other chiptune artists, Anamanaguchi creates music using synthesizers, albeit unconventional ones: namely a hacked NES and Game Boy. However, unlike most chiptune bands, Anamanaguchi employs live electric guitar, bass and drums on top of said synthesized music to create a fusion of digital and traditional sounds. From a technical standpoint, their music resembles that of video games from the mid to late 1980s; however, Berkman states that video games are not the band's main inspiration, as their songwriting is mostly driven by "[s]imple pop stuff, like Weezer and the Beach Boys."^[3]
leaving the links is my way of crediting wikipedia.. lolz

Tommy Guerrero - From the Soil to the Soul - 2006

As a teen, Tommy Guerrero (born September 9, 1966 in San Francisco) was one of the prominent members of the Bones Brigade, Powell Peralta's professional skateboarding team that dominated the 1980s. He was well known for his seemingly effortless street skating in his hometown of San Francisco, which was depicted in most of the Brigade's videos (Future Primitive, The Search for Animal Chin, Public Domain, and Ban This). After his success in the world of skateboarding, he moved on to his second passion - music. Guerrero was a member of the skate rock band Free Beer and the experimental group Jet Black Crayon, but has had more success as a solo artist. His critically acclaimed albums, EPs, and singles combine various types of music from rock, rap, funk, soul, and jazz.

Mt Eden Dubstep-Mt Eden Album-2009

Mt Eden Dubstep is either a duo or a New Zealand producer I'm not really sure which. Finding information on these guys has been kind of difficult and I'm not really that interested because I'm too busy listening to their amazing album that came out last November. A smart mix of dubstep and drum n bass, this record was made for good headphones and head-bobbing.

it's like rusko if he only made songs like woo boost/cockney thug

Weed - DC Hope - 2010

getting into lo-fi now, this is some pretty nice stuff

Alcest - Souvenirs D'un Autre Monde - 2007

Alcest is a musical project born in Bagnols-sur-Cèze, France. It began in 2000 with three members – Neige, Aegnor and Argoth. This band released a demo of black metal songs in 2001. Shortly after, Aegnor and Argoth left the band, leaving Neige as the sole member. This marked a change in style, as Alcest's subsequent releases have more often been described as shoegaze. Souvenirs d'un autre monde (Memories of Another World) is the first full-length album by Alcest, released in August 2007. The album differs greatly from Alcest's earlier work, as its sound is similar to post-rock and shoegaze with very little black metal incorporated at all.

Bonobo - Animal Magic - 2000

Bonobo is the stage name of Simon Green, a British musician, producer and DJ. Bonobo uses a wide variety of samples in his music combined with heavy, often complex basslines. His music generally develops linearly - with new elements such as basslines or percussion coming in one after the other. In Days to Come, he mixes this sonic background with the clean yet distinctive vocals of Bajka, who often uses harmony to build up a multifaceted sound.
