Swan Songs

"Al Bosta" is the only song of hers I know, my mom loved it, grew up hearing that stuff. There's an Assyrian singer (Eduard Yousif) Biba, who is a great one, just couldn't find anything on youtube, but will check it out.

So far, I like the first one, but the "remixed beat" kinda butchered the song. I can bet it's probably "dum-dak, dum-dum-tak" -

In the second song, I liked the part when they double-timed the beat, making it sound faster, and that two-note piano riff, as simple as it may be, is very effective.

If you can name the songs, I would greatly appreciate it. If you know songs similar to style with "Al Bosta" I'd really appreciate. Thanks, I'll go back to listening.

P.S. - I have a song I wrote on dumbek and an acoustic guitar. Maybe I'll upload it on youtube, and put a link here, as I don't have it copyrighted yet.

I find Clark to be an incredibly underrated electronic musician. My favorite album of his, and one of my favorite electronic albums in general, is Turning Dragon. Not only is it musically and creatively inspiring for me, but it has a cool perk in that it manages to be more groovy and danceable than most IDM albums (a subgenre of electronic music not particularly known for it's danceableness, ironically). I seriously love the creative, distorted beats on it - they bounce like nothing I've ever heard. Also love the organic messiness of the record.

Here's a good song from it.

Some Boris up in this bitch. Post dedicated to Minio, who got me into Boris.

Best Boris album evah. This album got me into noise/drone.

Have you listened to Kesto by Pan Sonic, Minio?

No, should I?

I'd be curious to see what you think, yeah. I got it the other day and while I haven't listened to it in full yet (it's damn extensive, 4 "discs" long), I really dug what I have listened to so far. Good noise album from what I can tell, a genre I'm just now really getting into.

Wanted to post a Soap&Skin song because I'm revisiting her work, went with this one because it comes with a great photograph.

Oh, but this is perhaps my favorite song by her.

When everybody was creamin' over Florence and the Machine, I creamed over Soap & Skin.

Can't believe I haven't posted any Justin Vernon yet in this thread. For those of you who don't know, he's my musical hero. Here's an earlier song he did, before Bon Iver.

I ought to do a Justin Vernon retrospective in the future.

This is great man.

Glad you like it man. It's from one of his earlier, self-released albums, so it's a bit more unheard of, definitely compared to his Bon Iver work.

Bon Iver is great and Justin Vernon is an awesome musician. Thanks for make me discover this tonight

Absolutely, dude.

Just off to work but just had time to listen to Turbine Womb and Hazleton. Not heard either before and both good. Thanks

Glad you liked them, christine.

Death Grips released a new song the other day. It features Les Claypool, bassist of Primus. And it's amazing.
