I enjoyed those two NIN albums for a while but went off them in the end. They're very well done though, quality stuff. The wife and I still enjoy Trent's singing on this which is the first song the car system plays when the SD card's been put back in after adding more tunes.

I think it was The Flesh Prevails that I used to listen to, but haven't listened to anything from Fallujah since then. Probably should keep them on my radar.
The one thing that stood out for me was some of the Satriani-like things they did in their music, subtle whammy stuff that I didn't hear from any other bands.

I've only just discovered the latest death metal so aren't familiar with any of these groups, but am blown away by how intense it's become. I'd stopped keeping up in the late 90s after thinking it couldn't get any louder and moved on to other genres, but how wrong I was!

Last night first listen to Allegaeon - Formshifter again from archive.org. Another wonderful experience, like the best bits I used to wait for in tracks, but these come continuously all the way through. ;D

Just took a listen to the "Metaphobia" music video from Allegaeon on youtube, and actually I thought it was pretty good. They do remind me a bit of Aborted.


And speaking of them, they are my favorite death metal band.

Their latest EP (only 12 minutes) is amazing:

And this music video, Vespertine Decay, I love and have watched countless times:

My official ranking of favorite death metal bands so far (purely DM, not "DM-like") would go something like:
1. Aborted
2. Cannibal Corpse
3. Gorguts
4. Decapitated
5. Nile
Wagie wagie get back in the cagie

Planxty: Words & Music





This is one of those albums that has a special meaning for me. It relates and recalls a specific time in my life, as music often does. Irrespective of that I find it a good album with some wonderful piping from Ó Flynn.

Great album! I never saw the cover look so good either!

Watched the documentary on it and had to dig it out.

Davy Graham - another excellent guitarist.

Folk, Blues and Beyond is the second studio album by British musician Davey Graham, originally released in 1965. It has been considered Graham's most groundbreaking and consistent work and a defining record of the 20th century. It has also been a primary influence on some of the most popular musicians in Britain ranging from Bert Jansch to Jimmy Page and Eric Clapton.   (Wikipedia)

Olivier,

I thought that you disliked Van Morrison's voice?  Or is this strictly an instrumental album?

I did but San Antone did recommend this last album above recently to try as well, as Van M's voice was mellower. he might be onto something because I listened to the first three songs so far and have not turned it off, even did enjoy it  ;D
The music side is still brilliant. More to listen to tomorrow.
