I have no idea what were you talking about. 🤨
And what corelation between SCOOCH song with the game you talked about ?

@andreoni79
I don't even care.
I think i knew it was a rated Mature game.
I hate all rated Mature games, nor even i care their existences.

I'm listening to MAD BLAST by THE INFECTION from Drummania 8th Mix.

@rafitafi You should check out Nujabes, if you haven’t already. J Dilla too, both legends of sample heavy hip hop that those videos are totally influenced by.

I checked out Peter Brotzmann's 'Machine Gun' album recently. It's great jazz, he tends to create records with a handful of lengthy songs, that seems to be his style. I like it.

I'm glad the Eurodance music from Dr Bombay is back. 😀

I finally got round to listening to Heaven to a Tortured Mind by Yves Tumor and it’s seriously incredible. Definitely the best album this year by quite a margin and they’ve finally hit their true potential. It’s loud, psychedelic, abrasive and an absolute gem. 4.5/5

Song from STEPS.

Does anyone else here like Bill Orcutt's music? Or the band he was in before he went solo?

New Charli XCX dropped tonight and naturally as a huge Bubblegum Bass/PC Music nut, I gave it a listen. Being recorded exclusively in isolation and mostly mixed by Charli herself, it’s rough around the edges but the heart is there and it honestly might be the better for it. The harsher textures created from the mixing clash nicely with her vocals and the album’s just one banger after another. The perfect isolation party album and a solid 4.5/5.

@nessisonett Aye, we need more isolation party albums during this time. What else have you been listening to? Mostly jazz, I presume Did you listen to Scoholofo?

@Draco_V_Ecliptic Honestly, I haven’t much been in the mood for jazz recently. I’ve mostly been catching up on some albums that I hadn’t got round to yet. I thought Fiona Apple’s new album was decent but not as revolutionary as many people are saying tbh. I also delved into my backlog and listened to albums like Bjork’s Vespertine (brilliant), Burial’s Untrue (also brilliant) and Faith No More’s The Real Thing (not so brilliant).

Yeah, when it comes to Faith No More, I would recommend Angel Dust, as that is an all-round music fan's cup of tea, however, you may also like King For A Day, Fool For A Lifetime, but THAT is much heavier. From what I know of your music taste I would highly recommend Angel Dust over KFAD, but try it if you find the odd heavier track on Angel Dust enjoyable, I think there's only two of them that meet that criteria.

@Draco_V_Ecliptic The only thing I really feel about Faith No More is that at least they aren’t Mr Bungle, my least favourite band of all time. Their self titled album is probably the worst album I’ve ever heard and I listened to that Corey Feldman album in its entirety. Haven’t listened to that Nostalgia Critic’s The Wall yet though, which I’ve heard is genuinely unlistenable.

@nessisonett Yes, but surely we can agree Mike Patton is a great singer? He's very talented imo, if you don't like Mr Bungle, my advice is to stay away from KFAD as that has some quite Bungle-ish moments, but Angel Dust is pure gold. Do you think you'll listen to that one when you get the chance?

@Draco_V_Ecliptic I’ll probably get round to Angel Dust, it’s on my list. I find Mike Patton quite grating, his voice definitely borders on ‘nails on a chalkboard’ at times. I listen to loads of bands where the singer can’t sing but his voice just hits a certain nerve.

It’s incredible how good condition this is even though I bought it for £5. I swear, they just don’t make them like they used to, the sound quality isn’t bad at all but I’m not a fan of the Dolby noise reduction, it flattens the audio and I actually like the fuzz. I have a few cassettes but my collection isn’t as big as my vinyl collection. I know they don’t sound as good but certain albums are hard to find on vinyl and cassettes were unjustly displaced by CDs.

@LN78 They’re a much nicer collectors item than a CD. Obviously I understand that at the time, CDs were the better option but now that we have digital, streaming etc, tapes are a neater, cheaper package that I honestly believe have more relevance today.

@LN78 There are so many albums that are either incredibly expensive on vinyl or just haven’t been printed on anything other than cassette. I’d rather own them physically and shoegaze benefits from the hiss.
