The Creative Side of Music

Experimental series of music could make sudden changings on your appearance, spirit and brain. Listening many different style of music really works on a person's creative ideas , it helps to grow your selectivity. Don't say i'm not interested in music without vocal/singer. There is always something interesting on activities which you haven't tried before. It's time for action, it's time for reflection by music. Mouse On Mars, Can and J.Peter Schwalm are from Germany and it's just happened by accident!

Mouse On Mars - Schunkel (1995)
The best song of Mouse on Mars from their masterpiece "Iaora Tahiti". As a personal favorite of mine, this song really deserves a mention. Very sweet, yes sweet electronic music, sometimes it becomes freaky but Schunkel never loses its pink taste. Horror!

Brian Eno & J.Peter Schwalm - Persis (2001)
Persis is simply the best work of Brian Eno and German DJ J. Peter Schwalm collaboration. Persis is included in "Drawn From Life" which has great background listening. Mostly it should be preferred at nights.

Lou Reed - Wind coda (2007)
From Lou reed's forthcoming obscure "Hudson River Wind Meditations" 2007, cool i love innovative noises. But you should have a great sound system to get the music, sub basses, minimalism.

Can - Dizzy Dizzy (1974)
A definite brilliant composition, perfect combination violin with electronic music.

We also recommend these:
Mouse On Mars - Iaora Tahiti
Brian Eno & John Cale - Wrong Way Up
Can - Ege Bamyasi

Arctic Monkeys - Favourite Worst Nightmare

Rating:4/10
I don't find The Libertines and The Strokes as influential bands but good bands. They released nice couple of albums, play their live shows and that was all. Arctic Monkeys ,whose ambition on playing guitar is similar to these bands, drop another record after "Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not". With a couple word, it's embarrassing for me hearing stupid high school kind of vocals on song "Teddy Picker". On previous Arctic record, there were danceable, likeable, disco-indie style songs which are so popular in the UK recently. Huge amount of indie bands are coming to scene in these days and only few of them gets support.

This time, borrowing from the Jam, the Clash, and the Smiths, Arctics mostly sound dull. I have to appreciate Arctics' ambition on making music in short order, and their early coming success on music industry with teen workaday lyrics, dum-dum guitars, a cover of someone else who looks charismatic. This is ordinary throughout. 24 April, 2007

Sorry for this review and read the new one:
Arctic Monkeys - Favourite Worst Nightmare

Eurythmics - Here Comes The Rain Again

Quite possibly the Eurythmics’ finest moment to date. The pitting of crisp, icy strings against a steady rhythm pulse sets up a perfectly fraught emotional vacuum. Their prime trick is the matching of a show of strength against eggshell fragility, a pristine example of how to turn fearful vulnerability to your own advantage. Purchase or be damned.--Adam Sweeting

Rufus Wainwright

This is cinematic, well-educated, highly sophisticated music. He really doesn't disappoint us. With one word 'Awesome'. The son of folk music luminaries Loudon Wainwright III and Kate McGarrigle, Rufus comes with an overwhelming record. "Release The Stars" will melt our hearts. After S/T (1998) debut and the following "Poses" (2001), with "Release The Stars" he's again mellow. The record will be outed on 15 May.

New QOTSA & Trent Reznor

Quite likeable guitar chords and stoner metal...This is the new Queen of The Stone Age track "Era Vulgaris" featuring Trent Reznor.

The Doors - The Very Best Of (40th Anniversary Edition)

With The Doors celebrating their 40th anniversary in 2007, the legendary band is launching a major effort at introducing a new audience to the music and ethos of one of rock’s most influential forces.

I must admit that if you already have The Doors classics, any greatest hits, then you don't need this one. Anyway, this post is dedicated to the great band.

mp3: The Doors - People are Strange
mp3: The Doors - Love Street

When "Love Street" is playing, it drives me to romantic memories. Music that we love always reminds us moments from our lives. It's happening again, a modern piano enters to my room joyfully. These are classic. The Doors are a reminder that rock is, truly, important.

Love Street Lyrics
She lives on love street
Lingers long on love street
She has a house and garden
I would like to see what happens
She has robes and she has monkeys
Lazy diamond studded flunkies
She has wisdom and knows what to do
She has me and she has you
She has wisdom and knows what to do
She has me and she has you
I see you live on love street
Theres this store where the creatures meet
I wonder what they do in there
Summer sunday and a year
I guess I like it fine, so far
She lives on love street
Lingers long on love street
She has a house and garden
I would like to see what happens
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

Nine Inch Nails - Year zero

Are you enjoying with the new NIN? It seems that we're enjoying. I've never been a diehard fan of this band?¿. As one person project, NIN draws its own world lyrically and musically. On "Year Zero", you can see his mastering effort on electronic music that has connection between metal, ambient, industrial. And also this is the most personal Trent Reznor work. It's mainly speaking of industrial music and you never get any meaning until it's listened. A clever recording below our first and best "Pretty Hate Machine" and the following "The Downward Spiral".

mp3: Ocean Colour Scene - River Boat Song (2007 BBC Sessions)

For electronic music lovers Pitchfork lights the path that leads to "Fluorescent Grey EP" by Deerhunter, hunting stuff.

I listened Arctic Monkeys' "Favourite Worst Nightmare", and all we can say is same embarrassing repetitive parts, too many specious guitar joints, and at the top of it, mouthy vocals.

And Dreamaiden:
Exquisite, melodic, lush electronic music, if you like Tangerina Dream and Enigma, you'll like the music. mp3: Dreamaiden - Indra

Golden Smog - Blood on the Slacks

Many musicians from Soul Asylum, the Replacements, Wilco, the Jayhawks, Run Westy Run, and the Honeydogs collaborated on this project. Turning many style of music from country, rock, punk, hardcore, and this side-project covers band changed to a serious dazzling rock band.

We've always been a Bowie fan, influenced by great fortune that he left to us. Golden Smog takes my attention because of their two successful cover on this upcoming record "Blood on the Slacks". A nostalgic growing, rocking cover of "Starman", and "Tarpit" which is another cover originally by Dinosaur Jr. And also "Magician is my favorite cut, an instrumental passage always works in every record.

This is a mini but effective record including moody guitar chords, energic harmonies. Release date: April 24, 2007
