Pensées Nocturnes - Ceci Est De La Musique 2011



one of the weirder things ive heard. i dont remember if they...he is LLN or not. MA says no. if you like your hour long songs with occassional oboe, cuckoo-clock noises, blastbeats, and ecclesiastic moaning, here you go. i think he manages to include every instrument ever.



cover art does a pretty apt job. its impressive as hell. the transitions between sounding like agalloch, nyktalgia, and a cathedral with a demented circus in it arent exactly fluid, but its an hour long. it can afford to be spacious. i wonder if there's like...sheet music for it. like 'oh yes, sebastian, i was hoping for more emotion from the 4-second saxophone noodle at 23.6 minutes. can we take it again from measure 473? and-a-one, and-a-two-'. theres just...SHIT HAPPENING EVERYWHERE. and then theres breathy symphonic interludes, which are actually really well done, and then suddenly *strings exit, include the sound of people cheering, cuckoo clock noise, blastbeat, strings reenter, guitar...enter piano, howling vocals, fermata, timpani roll, enter pipe organ, begin next section*. like at 41:30. where did this come from?! its like a crash master course in being really fucking good at music.



remember in the ocean - precambrian how they would just be like NOW HERES A RIFF WITH XYLOPHONE OVER IT? its like that, constantly, in smaller chunks, for 55 minutes. its the opposite of boring, in the way that french black metal usually is.

Code - Nouveau Gloaming 2005


UK/Norwegian supergroup, or at least it was at the time. Ulver drummer, borknagar guys, dodheimsgard, guy from at the gates, etc.

Really fucking weird black metal. Each song kind of oozes its way through a different type of black metal. Like Cotton Optic sounds like recent satyricon, all power chords and raaage. Most of the other songs either get really slow or really fast.

David Tagg - Wind Blown Guitar 2009


HOLY SHIT IT'S DECEMBER





SSSSSSSSSLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP

almost forgot. i like this album for, and it sounds kind of weird to say i like a ambidrone album for its lack of repetition, its lack of repetition. so im going to tag it as progressive, too. because it progresses. there are no loopz, a la last days or 36. just slow, slow noodles. quiet noodles. noodles that ask nothing from you, just waiting out the end times in their bowl.

plus family afgan uses a sound that last days uses on sea where i first heard it: its like a really choppy tremolo grinding wobble. i love that fucking sound. its 630am. ramnaths alarm is going off at full volume, like every night. i hate that fucking alarm.



707am update: it just occurred to me that "wind-blown guitar" would be a dieselharp-esque experiment in tonality, and i really hope that's what created this album
