stez Posted 15 April 2007 Share Posted 15 April 2007 Listen to mine (2nd one down's the best) and I'll CONSIDER putting myself through that. yeah, it's not bad, not enough of a groove for me, the bass starts well, but gets mobbed by everything else! sounds very early nineties (proper) indie, like ride and curve and the pixies (with scottish accents) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flynny Posted 15 April 2007 Share Posted 15 April 2007 Yeah - mentioned them about a week ago on here. Really good band. Check them out at this link - you won't regret it. Yeah well I saw them first! I don't really see the Pixies comparision, Stez. Possibly on the drum production, but the Pixies were always sparser and faster. Not that I don't love them, but this is dense and shimmery and has a kind of 'driving at night' feel. They sound kinda like Mogwai crossed with Interpol to me.

The People's Hero Posted 15 April 2007 Share Posted 15 April 2007 I'm getting the Interpol thing... I feel like I've heard it all before though. Almost identically. I just can't think where. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

act smiley Posted 20 April 2007 Share Posted 20 April 2007 http://www.myspace.com/loscampesinos ! Rather twee, rather good. You Me Dancing is six-and-a-half minutes of awesome. Death to Los Campesinos and We Throw Parties, You Throw Knives are also excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good band, but is it because they rely harshly on the influences of the following bands:- Joy Division Siouxsie & The Banshees Wire Cabaret Voltaire The Cure ????

Only heard bits of the rest, but I really like Wire and don't heard any similarity at all. Which bit sounds like 'em? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexx Posted 23 April 2007 Share Posted 23 April 2007 I would reccommend having a listen to this, not many people have heard of them but they are destined for big things. Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James. Posted 23 April 2007 Author Share Posted 23 April 2007 My latest slightly belated discovery is the Northern Soul genre - surely some of the most beautiful music ever... Anyway I don't know much about it apart from I had a great time listening to it in the sun all day on Saturday. Just bought a couple of collections off Amazon but if there's any fans out there that can offer some guidance please let me know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lillehamring Posted 19 May 2007 Share Posted 19 May 2007 for those of you who like a bit of sophistication and melody in your electronica - on of my favourite unsigned bands is Some Kinda Frantic Scene www.tagworld.com/skfs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James. Posted 19 May 2007 Author Share Posted 19 May 2007 DJ Krush. Anything and Everything by him. Proper legend. The best Japanese DJ ever and one of the best Japanese musicians of all time as well for that matter. Try the albums Milight, Zen, Jaku, Code 4109 - and there's a fair few more to choose from. Oh, and he's playing Koko in Camden next Sunday. Hoorah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you're talking James, I play a lot of DJ Krush in any DJ Sets I play and adore this album I've got on vinyl; especially the track which mixes over 'Just be good to me' Problem is in Leicester, no venue wants any downtempo/trip hop style DJs, it's all based on ****ing DJ Sammy wannabees - think I'll have to move to London !!

James. Posted 20 May 2007 Author Share Posted 20 May 2007 Right, here's another belter for you. DJ Vadim - The Soundcatcher. Just got hold of this album and it's absolutely fantastic. A melting pot of funk, hip hop, reggae and soul with a sprinkling of Ninja Tune twistedness. Some beautiful female vocals (although I could listen to women sing all day every day) and a cameo from Skinnyman and others. Best album I've heard in a long time.
