Music Discussion

I did enjoy the singer's professionalism in how he displayed the advanced skill of waiting for the music to catch up before plowing into the next line.   ???

He probably needed the music to help remember the words . . .

That line of mandru is pure gold, by the way.  ;D :-X

What gets me is how seriously they're taking themselves. Numb from the neck up ::) They should be reported to Amnesty International for crimes against the ears of humanity.

Art, you displayed remarkable prescience by not clicking that link. I shouldn't have either but curiosity overruled my natural caution and so I paid the price (insert "hurl" emotie here).

[Art Blade]

I trust my instincts and OWG, and you, on top, can always trust the Blade.  :-()

[mandru]

 ;D  :-X

[PZ]

... always trust the Blade.  :-()

You really need to play Assassin's Creed more  :-()

[mmosu]

the Blade . . .  :-() :-X

For any of you out there who like lo-fi electronica style music, or just want to hear something a little different check out an artist called 'MUSLIMGAUZE'


Click HERE to get to a 21 track playlist on my Youtube channel.


Hope you enjoy it.

Interesting audioscapes.  This artist does have a consistent style that is present in the examples of their pieces.   :-X

[RedRaven]

To say it was just one guy he was extremely prolific during his short life, (he died at 37).


From the wiki page
He released over 90 original albums on 32 different record labels, creating nearly 2,000 original songs. Many of his pieces were inspired by political facts or events. Many of his releases have been re-pressed as, after 1994, most of his albums were released in limited editions of 200–1,000. Including re-pressings, he had 192 releases as of 2008, but the number is prone to increasing further.



More info about him is on him here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muslimgauze and here http://www.muslimgauze.net

I really like the over-gain, crunchy and erratic beats and the fact his style is not super polished like many otherand more well known electronica artists. Certainly an inspiration to me and my music from 7-10 years ago and now.

Did do it manually thats what was frustrating about it, I remember a conversation with you many moons ago about using code in place of the quick buttons as its cleaner. Usually have no problems with it.


May be problems with my browser as still having smiley issues. Going to un / reinstall it later. Hopefully that will sort it out. Cheers again anyway Art, your a constant star.

[Art Blade]

thanks for your kind words :) Good luck with that browser of yours.. maybe try a different one like FireFox?

... or if you don't want to install a different browser, try IE just to see if the smileys w@&k.  If not, then it is Chrome; I'm not sure if it is one of the supported browsers - hard to say.

Different topic but hey, so you who are not reading GTA IV posts, here's the music bit that I want you to be able to notice, too  :)

Actually, that made me check something from back in my youth. Hippies and 70s-lovers, here you go  :-D

The 70s hippies were fond of Indian-influenced music, particularly the Sitar as spiritual instrument was quite cool  ;D This here is from 1975. Funky, beware  :-()

I could have sworn that Fiach started an Irish music topic somewhere, but either I can't find it or age is finally catching up with me (which wouldn't be much of a stretch seeing as how I've tried to outrun it but can't). In any case I've been getting into Enya's music lately - her less commercialised stuff, that is - and I find it has a tremendous chillaxing effect on me (or is that expression passé already?) To think I was once a long-haired, hard-charging, head-banging rebel who swore by the likes of Led Zep, Black Sabbath and Deep Purple and was never what you'd call a "new age" type (I never owned a lava lamp or a sitar :-()) but I have to say that Enya's misty, ethereal, neolithic compositions evoke something in my soul (she certainly doesn't consider herself "new age" - once, when asked what genre her music fell into, she replied, "Enya". I totally get that - it's her thing and it doesn't belong anywhere else). Maybe it's the residual and diluted Irish blood in me that her stuff speaks to, but the more I hear of it, the more I like it, even when it's in a language I don't understand. She's been hyped and commercialised in recent years, especially after her "May It Be..." song from the closing credits of the first Lord of the Rings film, but when I listen to her less well-known stuff I can't help but be entranced. I have to be careful if I play it while driving to w@&k lest it lull me into an alternate reality and I pursue some fey woodland sprite right into a roadside tree...

Anyway, I can't help but love and admire a woman who lives in her own castle. These are her digs:

I think this is the forum you are looking for mate, its on the media page at the top called Music Videos, Irish music is currently the third topic :)

Ah, so there is one! Glad it's not my age then - or maybe it is... :-\\

For some reason the following tune which some of the oldsters (erm.. any youngsters here?  :-() ) might remember -- it just popped up in my mind and wouldn't let go of me so I had to listen to it. First a mood-lifting video and then the sequel of the song :)
