Cirrus Minor

Well I saw them at a festival, knowing absolutely nothing about them and the first impression was very very nice. I gotta get their discography!

Hello guys. I'm here to say I bought the Illinois CD a few months ago and that it is effing fantastic. My God so much beauty in one disc, this should be forbidden. Thanks for your attention. PS : I've known Majesty Snowbird for years now and this song is insanely great too.

Hello all. It's been a big while since I posted anything anywhere on this MB, but I'm glad to see people still talk about Eels. As you may see, I talked about it here 2.5 years ago (on the first page), and here's the thing : My Dad had just died at the time, and with time, I've come to realize i find a lot resemblances between the feelings E has expressed throughout his career and the ones I've had ever since, because he's lost a lot of loved ones too, et caetera. Eels has been of a tremendous help for my recovery from it (and this is most sincere), which is why i truly and profoundly love this band. Eels' music is not very rich or innovative, but the truth is that the simple things expressed in it are very true, and that the product, I mean the sound, the mix, the engineering is always perfect, which is not the case of every band at all. Eels make music that many very intellectual people would call "nice, not much more", bit they render it perfectly. I hope this doesn't seem too looney to you, it's how I feel and it had to come out. ^^

OK. I already felt similarities between E's life and mine but, let's make it clear : Ordinary Man was written inside my brain.

Same here.

i think today the most interesting French music comes from Emilie Simon and M. Go check them out !

I think recent Muse material sounds a lot more unique than earlier... Anyway I love every bit of Muse's career, and don't feed me crap about Radiohead : I love them even more, and I don't have time to look for similarities between Muse and Radiohead, because there's even more influence from Pink Floyd on Radiohead than from Radiohead and Muse. I don't care about influence : the music is good, I like it.

Well I love Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley, but I can see why people can find it boring. OK the lyrics are beautiful (which is more due to Cohen's work than Buckley's by the way), but musically, it is very poor, which can be really great, but the song lasts more than 5 min, which, in the end, is musically boring. Always the same chords, always the same routine, except for the middle solo. So people, open your minds, it's not that hard to see why others can find Hallelujah boring. Not everyone is that into lyrics, and what is there to criticize about this ? Music is what's really important, i'm convinced.

Why not go to the beginning for a complete change ? The Sky Moves Sideways is really nice, especially the title song.

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6Np4yq0VJs]YouTube- Gorillaz - Feel Good Inc[/ame] Thus my love for the title.

The Most Serene Republic album was very nice. Sounded a lot like Arcade Fire to me, especially the feminine voices.

Sorry. Wrong thread...

The Most Serene Republic album was very nice. Sounded a lot like Arcade Fire to me, especially the feminine voices.

I do, at least. I love Gorillaz even more (if there's a way to compare both projects). Gorillaz (well, Albarn as Gorillaz) made some really extraordinary songs.

I'll be listening to it in an hour.

Would you say Britney Spears is better music than Muse ? Cause she sold waaaaaaay more albums around the world, had a lot more of number 1 singles and is generally better-known than Muse.

Blur is more colourful, powerful, better recorded and mixed, better sung, better composed, even better influenced, since for me Pink Floyd > Beatles.

Zechs Marquise - Our Delicate Stranded Nightmare (out 2008 in the US, but 2009 here...) is an absolute masterpiece and I strongly recommend it to all of you. Muse - The Resistance Eels - Hombre Lobo Emilie Simon - The Big Machine Porcupine Tree - The Incident supposedly Them Crooked Vultures - Them Crooked Vultures

It's a thorough illustration of the lyrics.

The millenium actually started on 01/01/01... You start something at number one, not zero. Still, i would consider the 70's (for example) starting 01/01/70 and ending 12/31/79, which seems weird.

So some people unaware of his existence still exist ? He's been a capital part of my culture since I got 12 !! My definition of the artistic genius.

Actually, I'm a little disappointed by The Incident. It really doesn't transport me anywhere as far away as In Absentia and Deadwing... It's nice but PT got me used to much better.

The Mars Volta made a very nice cover of "Things Behind The Sun". Terriffic song from the start !

I saw them live last summer, and I was very impressed by the use of keyboards, sounding very oldschool, and very pretty.

The Mars Volta - Frances The Mute The Mars Volta - De-Loused In The Comatorium The Mars Volta - Amputechture Radiohead - Kid A Radiohead - Amnesiac At The Drive-In - Relationship Of Command Coldplay - Parachutes Muse - Origin Of Symmetry Muse - Black Holes And Revelations MGMT - Oracular Spectacular Emilie Simon - Emilie Simon Emilie Simon - Végétal It's all I can think of right now.
