IRON MAIDEN ARE THE ROX.

 

Its a shame that Sharon Osbourne kicked them off the Ozzfest tour for bitching about equipment

-Blank & Jones

-Talla 2xlc

-Nu Nrg

-Conjure one

-daft punk

-K system

-Ayumi

-A-ha

-Kosmonova

-Oceanlab

-Just about anyone from http://www.ocremix.org

 

mostly trance, videogame/remix, i enjoy a good classical sound too or rock or whatever really...it just has to grab me...

 

You're pretty much the most unique music listener who's listed in this thread.

 

Everyone else has a lot of their bands shared with other people.

 

I've been listening to mostly ambient psy trance for days and days non-stop.

I'd say 'Takk...' is their most easily appreciated album, although personally I think 'Von' is great in an eclectic/perverse kind of way.

 

Do you not have Agætis Byrjun? It's just that I'd say that it's their most easily appreciated album. That album's got to be in my top 10 somewhere.

 

Speaking of Sigur Ros, I saw them live on Sunday night at Liverpool Philharmonic Hall. Amazing. I was completely blown away.

 

Anyway, back to metal chat and weirdly-named genres.... ;)

I only picked 'Takk...' as it's the tiniest bit more conventional. 'Ãgætis Byrjun' is more... operatic, making use of a lot of extended string sections and ambience, whereas their newest album is more melodious. Marginally.

 

It's a very close call, and I can't say I particularly prefer one over the other.

Run to the Hills is slightly boring now. But its a good song to listen to when you first get into Maiden.

 

Maiden songs I'm liking at the moment are Fear of the Dark and The Wicker Man. Fantastic songs, my favourite Maiden song would be The Trooper, nothing is better than the guitars in that song.

- Bright Eyes

- The Clash

- Desaparecidos

- Aerogramme

Does anyone have any good foreign music they'd recommend? I say Hombres G, Molotov, Manu Chao, Mano Negra, Soda Estereo, Mana, and Enanitos Verdes. You guys really ought to listen to those bands/artists.

You might wanna give the Nip/Tuck soundtrack a listen through, its got a nice spanishy vibe to it in places (with the show being set in Miami and all). Songs in particular:

 

Lonely - Bebel Gilberto

Elvis - Alpha

Following - Chungking

Pride - Syntax

 

I think, havnt listened to it for a while and the songs kinda blend. Its not full out foreign, but as I said, has a spanish vibe.
