http://gand.bandcamp.com/track/bohrok]Bohrok[/url] This is an ambient/minimal/drone piece inspired by the scene in the Mata Nui online game when Takua finds the Bohrok swarms. It was mainly inspired by the music from those games (particularly the Kahu-riding sequence and the Mangaia music) as well as by Tim Hecker and Daniel Lopatin's recent collaborative album Instrumental Tourist. I may do more of these.

They won't post the soundtrack song from movie trailers to any open source. I've probably watched the Iron Man 3 trailer 30 times just for the sake of listening to that glorious composition! Also I'm working on a digital painting. If I ever decide, FOR WHATEVER REASON, to have a migraine this is what I do. At least I slept good last night and my Typography teacher had jury duty this morning. XP SIDE NOTE!! made this cause, I love does guys. Though I think I forgot AA's beard...

Simple pitch: whenever you hear a song that makes you nostalgic, put it here.Nostalgic songs have a certain kind of power that is impossible to replicate. Not even some of the greatest of songs can imitate the sensation so unique among the songs we knew when we were growing up. Whether we liked them or not, whether we liked older songs over the most contemporary music, the music of the time is the music of "our time". The music from when I was a preteen will always reminds me of that stage in my life, and will always have a certain affect on me, especially the songs I liked, because they reminds me of a time when life was simpler, when I was simpler, and it's a time I wish I could go back to. It makes me sad, it makes me happy, it makes me feel all sorts of emotions I don't normally feel. I am not sure of the place of nostalgia in the human heart and why we have it. It's one of the most irrational feelings I know, more so than affection and jealousy. Yet, it is something that defines me. Maybe it's what makes me human and gives me a healthy appreciation of life. One thing I feel in my heart is that nostalgia is another incarnation of Man's eternal search for Home.-Just leave it to me to write a miniature essay out of nowhere. Anyway, I just listened to a few Hilary Duff songs, including "What Dreams Are Made Of" and "Let the Rain Fall Down (Come Clean)", which together inspired this topic, and am currently listening to Five For Fighting's "Superman" (which, coincidentally, sums up many of the feelings brought on by nostalgia). Speaking of which, one of my favorite songs from the early 00's and favorite songs ever, to the point where it almost belongs in the "Theme Song For your Existence" topic, is "100 Years to Live". That one also seems to even be about nostalgia.Being a 90's child, a surefire way to get me nostalgic is to play an old Britney Speares song such as "Baby One More Time" and "(You Drive Me) Crazy", not to mention her later hit "Toxic". I loved her growing up. I also loved Nsync and the Backstreet Boys, who also make me slightly nostalgic, although not as much.Since I assume that most people here are also 90's babies, hopefully this topic will basically become a giant playlist of music that makes most of us nostalgic.

I thought Makuta Teridax would make a great subject for a dubstep song, so I made this. It's mostly an experiment, mixing samples with some original sounds. Enjoy! Listen to 'Makuta Rises'

"All good music resembles something. Good music stirs by its mysterious resemblance to the objects and feelings which motivated it."-Jean Cocteau"If a composer could say what he had to say in words he would not bother trying to say it in music."-Gustav Mahler _________________________________________ Last year I started a solo electronic project just for kicks; make some cool music, learn and grow more musically, and just really have some fun with it.The premise behind it was that music was always better if it represents something, especially if what it represents is personally important to me. Also, I wanted to say things in it I couldn't say with my words. I've never been very good with words, and music seemed to do a good job of expressing what I was feeling or trying to say. In addition to these ideas, I realized most all electronic artists treated their music as recycled ideas and repeating motifs. Although the motifs or, ostinatos are interesting, they can get repetitive sometimes leaving the listener growing bored of the music quickly.I wanted to write electronic music I would an orchestral piece.Of course, it is far from perfect, after releasing my first album, I already had a slew of things I would've done differently, and still find myself obsessing over some of them. Despite this, I have only gotten positive feedback, and yet to have somebody really dig into it and tell me what I could've done better. That's where you guys come in.Anyways, enough chit-chat. _________________________________________ Debut album- Milk and Cooki³sA preview for the next album- 6² Preview - Hackers I am using Bandcamp but I've set it so each track and album is available free to download!Please let me know what you think, any and all feedback is appreciated. If you like it, let me know, if you don't like it, same thing. I need to know in order to improve!

We all have that one song. That song that we go back to and listen to with a deep appreciation because it's basically musical shorthand for explaining "This is who I am". It's basically a theme song for our existence.For me, mine is "American Pie". When I first heard it on the radio when I was a preteen, it struck me as the most meaningful song I've ever heard, a story about life, death, and all its ups and downs, joy and sadness, gains and losses. It's a song about the self but also about all the people I live for. This song really contextualizes my sense of who I am, because I've gone on my journey, too. It hasn't been as long as Don McLean's, but I still see my life within the context of a story driven by dreams but held back by tragedies, and I too am a man who is forced to watch the world change around me.There are really no runner-ups, no close second places. This song beats all others in the fashion of an automatic win. "Amazing Grace" and "On Eagle's Wings", both religious songs, contest for second place, and "These Are the Days" by Queen wins me over with how it captures my sadness at the passing of time and the realities of my life that faded into nostalgic memories. "Bridge Over Troubled Waters" is a theme for the person I strive to be. But none of them are in the same league as "American Pie".

So this guy at work leaves me his hard drive with like over a hundred GBs in it, says I can barrow it for a while. He's a local DJ, outside from serving, and says he has it filled with MP3s that I can have. I'm like a kid in a candy shop right now. And all the Candy is FREE!!

I had some free time, and since i felt this song would go well with this character, i made a music video.[media=]http://vimeo.com/43500463[/media]

I've been listening to the New York Philharmonic Radio on Pandora for the better portion of this evening, and I must say it has been amazing. It has been nonstop Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Batman, Lord of the Rings, Lord of the Rings, and so much other awesome.

I may or may not change my sig around a bit with some lyrics. Now to find some good ones... ---------------------- Oh snap!

So, since the last topic lasted all of a day, we might as well give this another shot: discuss any and all forms of electronic and dance music here. I'll start out. Purity Ring comes highly recommended right now. Their debut album, Shrines, comes out July 24th, and they've already released several songs from the album that are out now: "Fineshrine," "Obedear," "Belispeak," and my personal favorite, "Lofticries." Also, no hatin'. I understand that this music isn't everyone's thing, but please, everyone, try and keep this civil. It's art, just like any other form of music. Please, try and treat it as such? -Teezy

The Wall - Experience Edition and The Wall - Immersion Edition. I've got Experience on my computer already (<3 you, Zune Pass) and I might just consider Immersion eventually. It'd be worth it some day.

Well, since this topic apparently didn't exist, I guess I should be that one brave troll soul who should show some love for this much satirized, misunderstood, and unloved genre. Please. Please. Keep things civil, people. If you don't like the genre, don't post.To start things off, finally listening to Man on the Moon by Kid Cudi again. Forgot how much I loved that album.-Teezy

Who else likes this great genre of music? What are your favourite bands or your favourite albums?Myself, I'm a massive fan of Joe Bonamassa. One of the best modern day blues rock artists out there.I'm also a big fan of Blue Cheer, The Yardbirds, Cream and a few others.So yeah, discuss blues rock here

She's a really good singer. Enjoying "Wanted Dead or Alive" a lot. And oh yeah, she plays Apple Bloom and provices Sweetie Belle's singing voice in MLP: FiM.

Why people like stuff like "Party Rock Anthem" and "Sexy And I Know It", I'll never know. I'm not fond of these tracks because they always give me terrible headaches. -.-
-
...and came across this: I don't even...
-
Yeah, I don't have that kind of money to spend on a CD >.> I also don't quite understand why so few people have heard of Roky Erickson. The guy's band invented psychedelic rock.

Well, I suppose it's time for another very short and not very good album review. Awoken Broken - Primal Rock Rebellion (2012) Awoken Broken is the debut album by Primal Rock Rebellion, which is a collaboration between Iron Maiden's guitarist Adrian Smith and the now disbanded SikTh's vocalist Mikee Goodman, which in some ways is a rather strange collaboration as the two bands play very different music, but it works, and it works very well. From the opening track, this album is refreshingly different and quite unique. Adrian Smith's guitar playing is instantly recognisable, however it stays away from sounding like Iron Maiden, with the same going for Goodman's vocals. Both artists perform excellently here. Adrian Smith is one of my favourite guitarists and his talent shines through, as it always does, with his distinct songwriting, riffing and solos. Goodman's unique vocals were one of the things that set SikTh apart from other bands in their scene, and they are spot-on here as well. He uses four or five vocal techniques in each song and they all fit in nicely and flow well with the music, and give the album an eccentric feel, as they did in SikTh. This is further aided by Goodman's interesting lyrics and songwriting, and the variation through the album between fast and very heavy tracks and slower, more melodic ones. The combination of the two talents produces a sound that is unique and different from the two original bands and makes for an excellent album that grows better with each listen. This is a great debut to a project that will hopefully bring forth more brilliant material in the future.

I was thinking of just calling this "Progressive music", but I think Prog Rock covers most of it 'cept the metal, and we have the Metal topic for that.So basically discuss the genre of Progressive Rock music. Some of the bands I listen to are Rush, Coheed & Cambria, Genesis, Yes, Transatlantic, and The Alan Parsons Project. Recently though I've been super hooked on Yes (as evidenced by my banner =P), and I've listened through at least 3/4 of their discography. My favourite albums from them are probably The Ladder and Fly From Here, but Fragile and 90125 are way up there too. Really, though, they've all been great.Also Rush's "2112" and Coheed's "Good Apollo, Volume One" are probably two of my all-time favourite albums.
