PROVIDE: Album, Artist, Specific song. And then whatever details you want to share. I like seeing what everyone here listens to, as musical tastes are widely varied.  Song: Silver Maiden. The album is, as it says, a Metal Opera - though some of the song contained inside of it aren't metal at all. Some are rock, some are soft ballads, then there's just plenty of raw power-metal, with symphonic touches. Anyway. The album is about a world or a country called Aina, under siege from a demon king who kidnaps the most beautiful princess the world had ever seen, uses her to bear a son, keeps her locked away to raise said son (with his help), who, while growing up, ends up in love with a beautiful woman he meets at a lake - who, unbeknownst to him, is the queen of the world/country he is about to lead an army of demons against. When the time comes. . . there is tragedy and so on. It's a really fun album. Super nerdy, as Lugh would say. But it's fun despite that. My favorite song on it's gotta be The Siege of Aina, which has a duet of chants, one for the angelic/good forces, and one for the demons. It's a cool CD-set. Aina is the name given to both an album, 2004's Aina -- Days of Rising Doom -- The Metal Opera, and an international collective of musicians championed by multi-instrumentalist Robert Hunecke-Rizzo (Luca Turilli, Rhapsody, Kamelot). Along with producer Sascha Paeth, keyboardist and arranger Miro, and vocalist and lyricist Amanda Somerville, the Aina project boasts an extensive cast of participants drawn from the hard rock and metal communities, including Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, etc.), Michael Kiske (ex-Helloween), Andre Matos (ex-Angra), Candace Night (Blackmore's Night), Sass Jordan, Jens Johansson (Stratovarius, ex-Yngwie Malmsteen, Dio, etc.), Derek Sherinian (ex-Dream Theater), Tobias Sammet (Edguy, Avantasia), Marco Hietala (NightWish), and many more. |

Album: Dragon Quest III Symphonic Suite.

Song: Around the World.
I like the London Philharmonic's renditions better for the most part--more power--but this is still pretty good.

One thing I'll say for labour; & that is, that it isn't as offensive as the corresponding mutatory force which now threatens culture in America. I refer to the force of business as a dominating motive in life, & a persistent absorber of the strongest creative energies of the American people. -Lovecraft

Artist: That 1 Guy Album: The Moon Is Disgusting Song: The Moon Is Disgusting  Definitely a purely unique artist. Very techno sound. The thing sitting next to him, is his instrument. Yes, it's an instrument. Made it himself. From Wiki: Mike has developed a career as a one-man band under the stage name That 1 Guy, first playing his upright bass, and later singing and beatboxing while playing his Magic Pipe, musical saw, various percussive elements, and utilizing digital looping and sampling to perform his songs. The Magic Pipe: The Magic Pipe, also known by his close friends as 'The Broken Bowflex', is a homemade, electronically rigged pair of steel pipes, connected by adjustable joints, with each pipe hosting an orchestral bass string. The harp-shaped instrument is roughly seven feet tall and features 13 trigger points, which can be mapped to various musical sound effects or samples. The front pipe uses a low C string, while the rear pipe's string is used to achieve more tenor ranged notes. The pipes themselves are employed to produce various percussive sounds while That 1 Guy slaps, plucks, or bows the strings, as well as occasionally utilizing a drum stick to sound the strings and the pipes at the same time. The creation of the Magic Pipe was based on Silverman’s double bass experience, as well as borrowing from the concepts of the gutbucket and the diddley bow. The Magic Boot: The Magic Boot is a scorpion-emblazoned cowboy boot, which is wired and fed through the Magic Pipe’s audio lines. It is then played as a percussive instrument by tapping on the sole while pinching the boot’s opening to achieve different sounds, similar to an African talking drum. The Magic Saw: The Magic Saw is a musical saw, which is wired into the main effects box. It utilizes a small adhesive speaker and is played percussively as well as with a violin bow. It sounds similar to a theremin when played and renditions of Somewhere Over The Rainbow have been performed on numerous occasions. Youtube him sometime, especially his live videos. NOTE: Best played with good sound system/head phones, to capture the effects of the bass. |

 Song: Lullaby. Female fronted symphonic power metal band. Less musically varied than say, Nightwish, but still very pleasant. Heidi Parviainen's vocals are always top-notch. Also, Heidi herself (on the album cover) is good lookin'. Album: Suffer Our Pleasures
Artist: Tarot
Song: Pyre of Gods

I listen to a pretty wide range of things. Also, Tarot, fuck yeah. Though, I prefer Crows Fly Black. |
