Once again, its not about technical stuff =P
Are you really good at math? Thats not some sort of back-handed question at all, it just really 'surprises' me how you focus so much on "the black and white" of things that are by nature not supposed to be looked at that way. Notto pick on ya or anything, but it really confuddles me. I'm really good at math. For the record. You realize that by your "definition" literally everything can be considered punk. (Which brings up on austere kinda pholisophical question; but its a digression.) =P

RE-RAIL
Took me years to "get to." But I was surprised at what I had been missing. Its a really impressive rock-pop record. Some of the songs in the late-middle get kinda blah, but then one of my friend likes those songs best. "Jesus I/Mary Star of the Sea" is a song I can't get enough of (even at 14 minutes.) It's no Siamese Dream or Mellon Collie, but its a good album by a band that had a really nice, clean sound.

Ukigumo generally has a very high amount treble and twang in his tone that is common in country music. His style doesn't fit country music, but his tone does when he uses his Telecaster-based guitars. Hirama also displayed the country twang in the Dynamite version of Himitsu.

I see why you suggested country music now, but it is definitely not something I like. I did hear some David Bowie and more Queen and I enjoyed it so thanks for the recommendation. |

Here are a couple of albums I would like to recommend:
First up is Lucille by B.B. KING. This is a very good blues album. "B. B. King or "The King of Blues", is an American blues guitarist and singer-songwriter, widely considered one of the best and most respected blues musicians of all time. He was also ranked 3rd on the Rolling Stone's list of 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time.[1]" - wikipedia Moving on: The Seventh Night ~UNPLUGGED~ by Gackt This is a collection of some of Gackt's old songs but, as the title implies, they are unplugged. All acoustic. Includes very nice guitar work (i love the acoustic guitar), violins, Gackt's piano playing, and his emotional voice. Here are a couple of videos of songs from this album.
And last, but not least: More Adventurous by Rilo Kiley. They are and indie group with a poppy sound to them. They make very interesting sounds, and this is their best album in my opinion. Check out one of their videos:
Enjoy! Last edited by HEDOfloe : 2007.08.30 at 08:08 PM. |

"If Tokyo Jihen were a young, angry, undisciplined and totally crazy punk-jazz band, they would be Midori." "Much like another experimental, gorilla art band Kiiiiiii, Midori confronts their audience and brings them into the performance rather than being a still life on display for the audience's adoration. Many of their videos are just as confrontational, showing a young school girl shooting up an empty classroom before jumping off the building, or (rather humorously) beating up each member of the band before running away. It's obvious that, unlike other, more fashionable and marketable pop bands, Goto's school girl uniform is meant to be ironic. Like the big bad wolf in Little Red Riding Hood, Goto is simply trying to fool you into coming closer and letting your guard down before she eats you all up." (Taken from ZB's A-Z of Music) |

Amano Tsukiko - Tenryuu
her third solo album, this was a real departure in style and sound for her. Her debut album was followed up that same year with a second album of similar stylized music. In a sense this can be considered her true progression to a second album, style-wise, and whereas Tsukko (as her fans call her) has explored mostly Western influenced musical compositions, here we find her version of KSK. Similar to Ringo, the entire tracklist is symmetrical in that the title of each song is only one Japanese character and repeats in a circle, it ends where it starts. The artwork and imagery of this period was thus related to this artistic component. One of Tsukko's strongest qualities, which often gets lost in the shuffle of those who listen to japanese music, is in her lyrics. Much like Ringo, her lyrics are amazingly strong, full of startling imagery, and a real strength that empowers both the singer and listener. The lyrics to the first track, Tsurugi, get me every time. Full of classical and more "Oriental" sounds, she melds her earlier work with this new style and we find a plethora of great tracks. This cd holds her most successful commerically successful single (Chou) as well, in my opinion, some of her strongest non-single single tracks such as Tsurugi, Ryuu, and Karatachi.
