Hi All,

At present, the 2010 re-mix of Mike Oldfield's 1974 classic Hergest Ridge. This is the 5th version I have of this album and it is probably now my second favourite mix.

I have the original (stereo) issue on vinyl, the vinyl quadraphonic version (for those of us with four ears) and then the vinyl "Boxed" remixed version from 1977 that is somewhat different from the 1974 original -- and a CD of the Boxed version.

The new 2010 version is a remix of the original version but now much, much better. In the original it sounded like the trumpet was being played in a toilet cubicle and the bass sounded like it was somewhere in the next suburb. The hammond organ now sounds like a hammond. It is superb -- exceppt perhaps for the mandolin in the opening section that's a bit trippy.

Have had it for two weeks and have probably listened to it twenty odd times. The big one comes out next month: the remix of Incantations (1978) -- I already have it on order!


Best,

Les D

"Caiselean Oir" - Clannad

I've always enjoyed Clannad ever since the movie "The Last of the Mohican's" came out...

[Octane]

I have fallen head over heels in love with Moonsorrow's latest album, released earlier this year. I can't put in to words what an achievement Varjoina Kuljemme Kuolleiden Maassa is.

Like their other work, this is a concept album; the premise is a group of wanderers lost in the cold of forests and mountains -- their people have become extinct, and, these wanderers are also to die.

The album has just four songs, each being over 11 minutes in length, and, the space between each track is a cinematic transition where you hear footsteps, breathing and coughing of the wanderers trudging through the ice and snow as they try and search for hope. The group gets smaller and smaller, as can be told by the sparseness of the footsteps in each transition piece. At the end, the narrator is left alone and lays down by a river to succumb to his fate:

Thoughts flow with water
So warm is the hazy air
The sun is far hidden from the eye
In my bloody fist I close the Earth
I free myself from everything

It has been a very, very long time since I heard such ethereal, majestic, symphonically-epic and incredibly emotional compositions of music. The Finnish lyrics not only convey fear, desperation and loss, but, also the hope and beauty that presents itself in loneliness and solitude. The music reinforces these emotional states without a flaw.

An example track: http://youtu.be/Eb1w8ln2yJk

In a cinematic context, Huuto is the pensive and spiritual part of the wanderer’s own journey through his mind -- a journey of finding himself.

12:53 onwards til the end of the song highlights some pretty beautiful emotional resonance. :eyepop:

Warning: short attention spans and narrowminds need not apply.

If you have 16 minutes, an open mind and don't mind hearing complex, beautiful, and uplifting music, put on a pair of headphones, close your eyes, and, give it a whirl.

[bartman]

H,
I do like the riffing mayhem ( especially the second link), but to call it singing??????......could not understand one word?? I did look up the definition of "sing" and found that (apparently :P) Abbath is doing just that.
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/sing
1. Music a. To utter a series of words or sounds in musical tones.
b. To vocalize songs or selections.
c. To perform songs or selections as a trained or professional singer.
d. To produce sounds when played: made the violin sing.


None the less, unbelievable skills, !

:) Bartman

[Octane]

Bart,

It's black metal; you're not supposed to understand it upon first listen!

Give it time. He has one of the best "voices" in the genre.

Immortal were pioneers of the genre and paved the way for thousands of imitators. Do yourself a massive favour and get a copy of their 1999 seminal album, At the Heart of Winter. The opening track still blows me away after all this time. Funny, it's titled Withstand the Fall of Time. There's music on there that does to me what only a woman should, hah!

Abbath was 27 when he wrote it -- he was responsible for the guitars, bass and synthesizers. Prior to this album, Demonaz played guitar and Abbath played bass. Demonaz quit musical duties after developing acute tendinitis in his hands. I would fathom it had something to do with years of playing complex music via incessant tremolo picking.

If you end up enjoying Immortal, check out Enslaved. Particularly, the album titled Blodhemn. :O

Cheers,
Jason.

[JethroB76]

Woweee...what an album!!
I can still remember listening to this back in ~'88 with my brother, I think we were the only two dudes in our town who knew who they were - another favourite from that year was Megadeth: So far, so good, so what!
Also on high rotation were Exodus, Suicidal Tendencies, Testament, Death Angel, Anthrax..and a little bit of And Justice for all..
It wasn't long before I headed down a heavier path with Kreator's Extreme Aggression, in '89 I think, and most importantly Morbid Angel's Altars of Madness - what a crazy album to hear back then. I thought I was going to hell for sure :lol:
Those were the days..

[koputai]

Yeah Jeff, Tendencies, Death Angel, Anthrax and Exodus were at the top of my list too. Up until not long ago I had an Exodus sticker across the back window of my car, I'm sure not many people who saw it knew who Exodus were 20 years down the track!

A couple of awesome local Sydney bands at that time were Massive Appendage, Slaughter Lord, Death Mission and Mortal Sin. The mid to late 80's was metal heaven in Sydney, with 8 to 10 gigs every week. We used to see bands every Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday night. It was an excellent time. Other regulars were Hard Ons, Fester Fanatics, White Widow..... so many......

Cheers,
Jason.

[JethroB76]

Yeah there were some great Aussie bands kicking around then too - still gutted that someone stole my copy of an album by Mortification, a so called "christian death metal" group :lol:
It took so long to get hold of some of these bloody albums back then, especially in Tassie!!

Al Di Meola on lead guitar (what a face-melting solo!), Steve Winwood on vocals (dulcet tones, anyone?), Michael Shrieve on drums, SY on keyboard and KS on synthesizers.

Beautiful.

I have been described as having no taste by my children and grandchildren :(

[AstralTraveller]

Busy beaver aren't we?? :D You just reminded me of 'Gone to Earth' and I'm finding it very soothing after the funeral today. Thanks.

We celebrated the life of the last of a generation and one the way home, quite by accident, I had on a band we heard in Cairns. Being a day for memories we listened to more at home and recalled all those pleasant afternoons in the beer garden listening to a band of world standard but only local fame. Actually they won the folk band of the year award once but they still didn't fill stadiums. They were Mangrove Jack and in 1990 they were quite a band. The core of the band were very slick folkies with a young classically-trained fiddle player (who improved markedly over the year we saw them and was becoming very good) and bass player I would hold up against some very big names - if only I had a recording that did justice to the sound he got in the pub. It's nice to hear a band that takes you back to a good time.

Rediscovered and been listening to Daevid Allan's Gong - The Flying Teapot Trilogy. A wonderful early 70's band.

And that's in Rotation with King Crimson: Lark's Tongues in Aspic and Islands AND finally got my hands on the audio of the Frank Zappa concert I saw in Sydney all those years ago playing the Overnite Sensation and Apostraphy albums. So thats in the shuffle too. Loving it.

Colin I like Beggars Banquet & Get Your Ya Yas Out. Dylan's Blood on the Tracks is also one of my everyday listens.

@ H, like the LTE link, the work on the Chapman stick is outstanding, I've seen many clips of it played, very few that impress. Must dig out my Old King Crimson vinyl sometime.

I have just listened to Ashes to ashes by David Bowie. That song came out when I got my first "serious" scope, a 60mm Tasco (circa 1980). It always reminds me of that time and the expectation of discovering the universe.

They are so much more than these two pieces.

Cheers,

[Varangian]

Ensiferum - self titiled album (their best), early 2000s I'd guess. The album has been on in my car for over a month now.

Finnish Folk Metal. They use traditional finnish instruments and incorporate them into, well, the metal genre, but not as you would expect it!

I'm also listenig to Alestorm, a Pirate metal band from Scotland who use all sorts of traditional (ancient) scottish instruments. I like beer and I like pirates so it matches my lifestyle perfectly.

[taminga16]

Talisa Jobe, a young girl from Bendigo. Roots focussed and very talented.

[Octane]

Simon,

Sigur Rós is so wonderful!



John,

Haha, another Ensiferum fan! I've posted some earlier in this thread. I agree, the self-titled album is the best. Although, I did like a couple off Iron.

Are you into Wintersun? Jaari Maenpaa's side project from Ensiferum (well, after he left Ensiferum, he's concentrated more on Wintersun). Their second album has been in the making for 7 years so far. And, they've just announced that they're going to split it into two albums. Some of the songs have up to 200 tracks each. I can't wait to hear it.

Here's Kai Hahto (Wintersun drummer) proving once again how much of a human metronome machine he is, on one of the new Wintersun tracks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpELF5in-cU

Have I found a viking/black metal brother in you? :D

H

[Varangian]

Ha ha indeed you have. Yes I agree Iron is a great album too, into battle is one of the greatest tracks I have ever heard. I do like Wintersun but I often wonder what Jaari makes of Ensiferum's continued success. I listen to some of the tracks from Iron and Jaari must think, man that's so good, I wish I was a part of it. I love Ensiferum's film clips also.

I also like Svartsot from Denmark, FinnTroll from Finland, Korpiklaani from Finland and Wolfchant, so yes, you have found a Viking metal brother:lol:
Oh yes, Falkenbach from Germany are also a wonderfully monotonous band.

I do listen to many different genres of music though...

[Octane]

Love your taste in music and yep, love those drums. I have a 5-piece Premier XPK Anniversary Edition, I've cut it down to a 4-piece with the 12 inch tom on a snare stand in front of my snare:D

Enslaved are such a great band, I love their song Eld, very raw. That Kai Hahto clip is pure madness, I completely forgot about the world for 10 mins watching that.

Here's a few back to you, different styles. Enjoy.

Wolfchant's best, a classic.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHK-YBEcyp8

and

Falkenbach, the violin at 2.53 is quite beautiful actually and is the perfect amalgamation of folk and metal.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZJ6nlfUL3M

[Octane]

Awesome! Will listen after my meeting at work. :)

I have been meaning to check out Falkenbach for years. I know they have a cult following, just like Vintersorg.

Eld is fantastic. It is so sombre in parts, you can feel it deep within your guts. I love the intro to Blodhemn (the album), it sounds like a misty battlefield where humans are about to encounter an alien horde. Incredible.

For people who think we're crazy listening to extreme music, and, can't see the forest for the trees (get past the vocals :P), there's guys on YouTube who are converting black/Viking metal into orchestral pieces using some nifty software, and, far out, it sounds amazing. Classical composers would be proud. The two genres have so much to do with each other.

H

[Paddy de Klerk]

Not at the same time but ..... Bob Dylans' latest being "Tempest " & Ry Cooders contribution " Election Special " Like 'em I do.

[MattT]

I must be in need of a bit of a musical education here as I just don't get it! Amazing drumming yes...but thats it, nothing changed kind of like watching a long train go past. I listen to all sorts of music...what am I missing here?
Matt

[loki78]

You haven't heard anything till you've heard Octane sing Kate Bush........

[Octane]

lol, Jon. Oh, dear. Memories. We must do that again one day... see what you can organise? :P

Matthew, did you just watch the Kai Hahto drumming clip? Check out the other links. Black metal is highly emotional music, with complex compositions which make you think. The lyrics are more often than not deep and philosophical, or about the rawness of nature, the pondering of existence, the Universe, and so on.

I think the best way to try and explain is if you imagine putting the music through a sieve once or twice, you soften the harsh exterior and hear the gorgeous harmony and melody underneath. Fans of this type of music can automatically hear the beauty inherent in the compositions.

Example: a 26 minute long monstrous track distilled into a 10-minute orchestral rendition: http://youtu.be/_K62zGmnbGo

And, here's the original: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xEXTBW91us

The last few minutes of that track (the outro) is the most beautiful and epic piece of music I've ever heard. Amazing musicians.

I get it if people don't like it or it doesn't make any sense to them. I just like sharing what I find inspiring and beautiful. There's no obligation here at all. :)

H

[ourkind]

the ringing in my ears ... *damn tinitus* :shrug:

[MattT]

Kate Bush..think I'll pass thanks all the same.
Thanks for taking the time Octane, will have to admit to being a professional muso all my working life and have done gigs with all sorts , from Bananas in PJ's to Placido Domingo and more, and it kind of bugs me when I can't get into music that others love to listen to.
What I do know is, it often takes time for some music to sink in and then yeah, I get it...you'll know exactly what I mean.
Thats what I mean by needing a musical education.
I'll let you know how it goes... in the meantime keep sharing.
Thanks, Matt

[Varangian]

Wonderfully said:thumbsup:, it is the rawness of the Earth no doubt and the Viking metal brothers join as one and it lifts our hearts to the gods and to Valhalla that awaits:D

[Bassnut]

wow, in IIS, who wouldve thunk it :thumbsup:. I partake in a bit of Nightwish (Finnish operatic metal) and Dreamtheater myself. Those Scandavian dudes sure know how to produce blood stiring , inspirational music. Totally out of left feild, well worth a listen.

[Octane]

Fred, go through the thread; I've posted a bunch of nuggets (at least to me!).

And, yes, the Scandinavians make incredibly powerful, emotional and beautiful music. Mustn't be much else to do in the ice and snow and cold. :)

Seen Dream Theater twice, and, my brother's a big fan of Nightwish. I don't find them heavy enough, but, they're fun to listen to. Greg Bradley's also a fan of Nightwish.

H

[Bassnut]

Thanks H, yes, I'll be sampling them, hardly mainstream, hard to find on my own.

[Bassnut]

Well, then theres Avenged Sevenfold, thats not bad and Mudvane. I saw Mudvane live at Big Day Out in a concrete bunker. WHAT a show that was. A sea of writhing crashing bodies (the audience) in front of a frantic, on the edge of chaos Mudvane playing like it was the last day on earth. Ear splitting, hyper energetic mayhem. An utterly out of the world life changing experience. Its on the bucket list. You need to experience entertainment right on the edge of insanity, see Mudvane live ;-).

Happens like that though.

If I feel like I have to get to know it i just put it on repeat while I'm working around the house. If I want to shoot the cd player after 2 hours then I'm probably never going to like it.

Although I remember doing this with Suzanne Vegas first album when it came out and it was still playing 7hours later. Love that album still but never managed to get comfortable with any of her other ones.??

Trevor

[MattT]

Trevor you are right. Not all 'music' is worth the time. There is too much manufactured garbage that passes itself off as music out there that isn't worth a first hearing and sometimes stuff does grow on me. My favourite recording is Mike Nock 'In Out and Around' 1978, free jazz as it was called and took several listenings to start to like it....35 years later sounds as good as ever. That's what I'm wondering with the Scandanavian Metal, is there more in there? Might not be my cup of tea but curious all the same.
:rockband: Matt.....So much music...so little time!

[jjjnettie]

Right now I'm listening to some quite ordinary live music from the pub across the back paddock from my place. :(
My middle son Jack actually opened the back door just before and started howling like a dog.
They've played Stand by your Man, Summer Loving, that Whitney Housten song "I'll always love you"
The youngest son , his parting words to me as he went to bed "Make them stop mum". LOLOLOL

Caterwauling is one description for what I just listened to. my ears are starting to bleed. :(

[Bassnut]

I saw them a few times at and before Absolution at small gigs before they became "mega" and played stadiums. The sound is too dense for big venues, messy, they have become too big for they're own good, lost the plot IMO.

I've discovered gold. No, wait, platinum. Aural ecstacy.

FINALLY, some phenomenal Australian talent worthy of being called musicians.

Ne Obliviscaris are an incredible band hailing from Melbourne who hit the scene in 2007 with a 3-track EP titled The Aurora Veil. Their 2012 album titled Portal of I is simply some of the finest and most technically-accomplished music I have ever heard.

All I can say is wow, wow, wow, holy, wow. WHAT!? Where did this come from!?

I simply can't pick a track to share, but, have a listen to the ethereal introduction to Of the Leper Butterflies (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ij5X4cLk4U0) or Forget Not (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsh9xzTCFRk).
