I've run out of larger collections to dedicate whole entries to, so here's a couple smaller ones put together. this one isn't quite complete, unfortunately. I'm missing the first two albums plus the 2014 Last Stardust EP, but that's because those are all difficult to find (and expensive) outside of the band's home of Japan. I'm fine with missing the first two albums since they predate the trance-metal hybrid style the band excels at, but I would like to track down Last Stardust eventually. incidentally, the album Mozaiq is also pretty hard to find. for a while it wasn't available through U.S. or European digital outlets, and all the CD copies ranged from $30-$100. furthermore, if you were lucky enough to find a CD copy for cheap, there was a pretty good chance you would end up with one of Amazon's awful "manufactured on demand" CD-Rs instead of the real thing. and as if this wasn't annoying enough, it would appear that virtually all the copies of the album available outside of Japan, digital or otherwise, have the track listing totally screwed up where the songs are all shuffled around and don't match what's shown on the packaging or listed online - some copies, specifically the Amazon CD-Rs, even mistakenly include a song by a completely different band in place of the track "Neo-Gothic-Romance". I somehow managed to luck out seriously a couple years back and find a promotional European pressing on Amazon for $7. it does have the track order messed up, but at least it's not a CD-R and none of the songs are missing. top to bottom: - Idolator (European pressing, excludes two tracks included on the Japanese version, includes the music video for "Truth") - Mozaiq (European promotional copy, includes the bonus track "Cosmic Highway") - Epsilon (European pressing, includes the bonus track "Royal Sky", an updated re-recording of "Final Sky" from Idolator) this one is a complete collection, albeit with a far less interesting background than the Blood Stain Child one. Days of Nothing is a bit harder to find than the other two, but I did manage to luck out and get one for about $8. all of these are American pressings to my knowledge. top to bottom: - Days of Nothing - Oionos - Second World as a side note, if everything goes as scheduled, I should have an entry up tomorrow about a very cool box set I ordered last week.

I'm not sure if this is in the right forum, but it seems to be the right place. I'm not the creator of this, nor do I have any affiliation with this, but I thought this would be cool to share: It's pretty cool. But also insanely creepy in a weird way...

First off, hi there! Been a while. I'll post a life-update thing soon-ish. Anyways, my high-school orchestra conductor may be one of the nicest, most supportive people I have ever met or will ever meet. He's an older man, but he's always full of a joyful energy and can often be seen with a huge grin across his face. He always tells us that he loves us and that we're his favorites, and it's one of the most adorable, fulfilling things to hear him talk. So a few days ago (last Friday, to be exact) we come in for our daily orchestra class. We're all pretty worn out- it's been a long week. He picks up on this, and after we tune he selects me, one of my good friends, and maybe about six other kids and tells us to follow him as he briskly walks out of the classroom. We have to struggle to keep up as he exits the music hall and strolls into the school, finally stopping at the vending machines. Once we all get there, he pulls out a big wad of cash and starts inserting money into one of the vending machines and ordering drinks. He gives us all money and tells us to do the same, and we finally pick up on what he's doing- he's buying drinks for the entire orchestra. And there's maybe about 30-40 kids in the orchestra, too. So we do what he says and buy a bunch of beverages from the vending machines, and then once we've bought a sufficient amount we carry them all back to the orchestra room and distribute them. All the while he's just smiling and watching us enjoy our treat. To think that spending an hour a day with a bunch of high-schoolers makes someone so happy that they would spend their own money to cheer us up. I can't think of any words to describe him. He's just an amazing guy. Just think the polar opposite of J.K. Simmons from Whiplash.

ITT: We help each other find more artists in genres we like. I like ambient electronica and IDM, and C418's older stuff is just awesome. One track of his, however, stands out: https://soundcloud.com/c418/the-driver. He labels that genres as "trip hop" and "breakbeat", both of which work, but neither are right to me. Trip hop is more chill and slower, and breakbeat is more reminiscent of dance music, in a way. Anyway, I would like to know either more artists that use this style or the genre name. It's pretty sweet. Also, if you need help finding more artists or a genre or something like that, post it here and maybe someone can help.

To those who do music production, have you attempted to do a remix or original composition relating to Bionicle? I've tried once with a remake of the Chronicler's Company theme from MNOG, but that's it. Share compositions, remakes, remixes, and tips for transcribing (I might have cheated using a MIDI file). https://soundcloud.com/theironchicken/sets/mnog-transcription My final goal is to do a remake of the entire soundtrack.

[originally published 5/18/14, updated 11/6/14, bumped 1/29/15 because I frigging love The Cure] with the acquisition of the Join the Dots box set, I've pretty much finished off my collection for my favorite band, The Cure. I've got all the studio albums, all the compilations, the remix album, the 1978-2001 B-sides box set, and a few singles. really all I'm missing now are the live albums and DVDs, which I've never had much of an interest in. all of these are the various US pressings except for Three Imaginary Boys, which is a Fiction European pressing manufactured in France, and Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me, which is a Fiction European pressing manufactured in West Germany. left stack, top to bottom: - Three Imaginary Boys - Boys Don't Cry (American version of Three Imaginary Boys with altered tracklist) - Seventeen Seconds - Faith - fourth album idk I can say the name of on this website - Japanese Whispers: The Singles (collection of non-album singles and B-sides) - The Top - The Head on the Door - Staring at the Sea: The Singles 1978-1986 - Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me - Disintegration right stack, top to bottom: - Mixed Up - Wish - Wild Mood Swings - Galore: The Singles 1987-1997 - Bloodflowers - Greatest Hits (limited edition with Acoustic Hits bonus disc) - The Cure - 4:13 Dream - The Only One (CD single) - Sleep When I'm Dead (CD single) on the bottom, joining the stacks together: - Join the Dots: B-Sides & Rarities 1978-2001 box set (4 discs, 70 tracks housed in a hardcover 75-page digibook) owned but not pictured: - Disintegration 2010 remaster on double vinyl LP

I enjoyed listening to the music in the background of these 2010 HF commercials: http://youtu.be/5UQ8ckX0KSs?t=9s http://youtu.be/m7orTR4MZvQ?t=9s However, I relied on a YouTube video that is now gone. I can't find it using conventional methods. If anyone could share it, I would be grateful. Come to think of it, perhaps the HF OST should be archived before it is too late?

upon receiving A Taste of Extreme Divinity in the mail today, I've pretty much completed my Hypocrisy collection. I'm still missing some things - like their first three albums which are different in style and just not as good in my opinion, and both versions of the band's horrible attempt at cashing in on the nu-metal craze with Catch 22 - but all of the core albums in the band's discography that display their unique mix of death metal, melody, spacey atmospherics, and lyrical themes obsessed with the paranormal, extraterrestrial, and horror that make them one of my top 5 favorite bands of all time are represented now. from top to bottom: - The Final Chapter - Hypocrisy (German digipak edition) - Into the Abyss - The Arrival - Virus (CD/DVD limited edition) - A Taste of Extreme Divinity (U.S. limited edition) - End of Disclosure (digipak limited edition) also owned, but not pictured: - Abducted (2003 reissue, owned digitally because the CD is hard to find at a decent price)

normally I post complete collections, but I'm very quickly running out of those so here's one that's only mostly complete. I'm currently missing the original 2002 version of Nothing, the EP I (which was just reissued last year, but I haven't been able to find it yet), and the Rare Trax compilation. from top to bottom: - Contradictions Collapse (2008 reissue with 4/5 of the None EP as bonus tracks) - Destroy Erase Improve (2008 reissue with the other 1/4 of the None EP as a bonus track, among others) - Chaosphere (2008 reissue with The True Human Design EP as bonus tracks) - Catch Thirtythree - Nothing (2006 remixed/remastered/partly re-recorded reissue) - ObZen - Koloss also owned, but not pictured: - Pitch Black EP (free digital download from Scion A/V, also included as bonus tracks on the 2014 reissue of the I EP)

recently bought up the last few albums I needed and finally finished my collection for one of my top 10 favorite bands of all time. left stack, top to bottom: - Killing Is My Business... and Business Is Good! (1990 pressing which omits "These Boots". might get another copy eventually that includes it.) - Peace Sells... but Who's Buying? - So Far, So Good... So What! - Rust in Peace (one of my favorite albums ever) - Countdown to Extinction - Youthanasia - Hidden Treasures (B-sides/rarities compilation EP) - Cryptic Writings (HDCD pressing) right stack, top to bottom: - Risk (remixed & remastered version. I hate this album, but if I had to choose, I'd say this version is more tolerable because it removes some of the ill-advised synths.) - The World Needs a Hero - The System Has Failed - Greatest Hits: Back to the Start (signed by frontman Dave Mustaine) - United Abominations - Endgame (best album they've done since RiP) - Th1rt3en - Super Collider (Best Buy edition with three bonus tracks and a 3D cover. not a very good album though.) here's hoping that the new album they're recording now will be just as good as Endgame, if not better.

I got their new album and completed my collection of their only good ones. nope, I'm not missing any albums at all. third and fourth albums? what third and fourth albums? from top to bottom: - Burn My Eyes - The More Things Change... - Through the Ashes of Empires (US edition with bonus track "Seasons Wither") - The Blackening (2-disc special edition with two bonus cover tracks) - Unto the Locust - Bloodstone & Diamonds no, but seriously, this collection is technically incomplete. you couldn't even pay me to buy The Burning Red or Supercharger.

So, while am stuck at my other topic, I decided to do something else instead, and here it is! Time for singsong So umm yeah Just put your hands in the air like you dun care and get singing (if you dare!)!
-
well there's a thread for guitarists now, and no official topics about playing instruments, so how about one for everyone else? Do you play any stringed instruments? Which one/s? What styles do you play? Any particular goals? Advice, needed or offered? As for me, I play mainly ukulele and banjo. Generally I alternate between a folky sort of old-time style and classical, although I've also joined my college's jazz ensemble. Jazz ukulele is going to be a thing, I promise but really though, it's great, really helping me get the hang of improvising melodies. so yeah have at it

not to be outdone, from top to bottom: - The Agony Scene - The Darkest Red - Get Darned (European special edition ft. bonus Bad Religion and Dead Kennedys cover tracks) also owned, but not pictured: - "Devilock" (bonus Misfits cover track for The Darkest Red, bought digitally)

I would've updated this over a month ago when I picked up the new album Siren Charms, but as it turns out, the entire first pressing of the deluxe edition was defective. after a few weeks of waiting, the record label finally offered people corrected replacement discs about a week ago. I received mine in the mail just yesterday. at one point in the past these guys were my favorite band, and this collection is quite possibly the most complete that I own, just slightly ahead of Katatonia - between bonus tracks and B-sides, I've got basically every finished, studio-recorded song the band has released. from top to bottom: - Lunar Strain (2005 Candlelight Records reissue) - Subterranean EP (2005 Candlelight Records reissue) - The Jester Race (2008 Reloaded edition + Black-Ash Inheritance EP) - Whoracle (2008 Reloaded edition) - Colony (2008 Reloaded edition) - Clayman (2008 Reloaded edition) - Reroute to Remain - Trigger EP - Soundtrack to Your Escape - Come Clarity - A Sense of Purpose - The Mirror's Truth EP (German pressing) - Sounds of a Playground Fading - Siren Charms (deluxe edition) also owned but not pictured: - Lunar Strain/Subterranean (single-disc compilation including both the full-length debut and its follow-up EP, sans the bonus tracks available on the individual reissues) - "Discover Me Like Emptiness" (bonus track for Soundtrack to Your Escape, bought separately from AmazonMP3) - "Self vs. Self" (collaboration with Pendulum from that artist's Immersion album, bought separately from AmazonMP3) - "The Chase" (iTunes-exclusive bonus track for Siren Charms) - first press edition of Reroute to Remain featuring variant artwork (black border around the usual image) - a nifty In Flames magnet included with the purchase of Siren Charms through FYE, features the Purpose/Playground-era logo

after getting a damaged copy, waiting for a refund, ordering another, waiting an unusually long time for it to be shipped, and then finally getting the final piece needed today, I've completed another discography collection. from top to bottom: - Something Wild (2008 deluxe reissue) - Hatebreeder (2008 deluxe reissue) - Follow the Reaper (US edition) - Hate Crew Deathroll (US edition) - Are You Dead Yet? (US edition) - Blooddrunk (US edition) - Halo of Blood also owned, but not pictured: - Relentless Reckless Forever (I own this digitally. I bought it entirely with free credits I saved up over the summer from an AmazonMP3 promotion a couple years back and I still felt ripped off. I even tried, unsuccessfully, to get it refunded by telling them I bought it by mistake. I absolutely hate this album with a passion and have no intention of ever wasting money on a physical copy. it's bad enough that I've wasted hard drive space on the MP3s. I'd rather just pretend the album doesn't even exist.)

Why is it that there's a musical parody of practically every video game out there and many more things, but I've never seen anything for Bionicle? Has anyone else had this thought? It would be great to get a team together to work on it. I'd help if I have time.
