Topic: The Music Thread

I've been listening to a lot of Stravinsky recently, his lesser-known works such as Pulcinella and A Symphony Of Pslams, the 'Rite' is classic and essential of course, but he did so many other things as well!. Pulcinella was done in collaboration with Pablo Picasso, and A Symphony Of Psalms relates to his interest in Russian Orthodoxy, he was a devout follower of the Russian Orthodox Church, plus there is his autobiography to dive into as well! .

I'm listening to More Than I Needed To Know by SCOOCH

@Anti-Matter of course you are.

SCOOCH! I honestly had no idea they had any other songs than that Eurovision one with the pure camp, perennially tanned guy.

@nessisonett
More Than I Needed To Know by SCOOCH also has appeared on Dance Dance Revolution MAX 2 ARCADE.
I knew that song since November 2006 when DDR MAX 2 arcade has arrived at my local Game Arcade.
I have been playing that song on Heavy for 14 years.

Oh, there was a SCOOCH member shared same name with me, David.

You just spoiled the last third of Disaster Report 4: Summer Memories!
Shame on you!

@andreoni79
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.
