Memory keeper. Mostly music and movies, plus some series and video games. Obscure darkness meets pop culture glow.
Good punk rock with a proper average track length below three minutes. And just like any politically charged punk rock in 2020 it’s an all around anti-Trump statement. Coming from Anti-Flag who self-admittedly “have actively chosen to not attack presidents directly”. It’s another record in the long list of such albums spanning now across so many different genres.
It sounds like a classic industrial-EBM album from many years ago getting a remaster in 2020 with a techno heart. Sounds like an abandoned factory, heavy beats, greasy and steamy noises, distorted synths, slow marching rhythms. It is something not new but refreshing to hear. This could only possibly come from Berlin, has a cosy home at Ostgut Ton.
One of my go-to focus music for the past month. Cinematic ambient with chiming sounds, dark textures, monumental spaces, it’s quite a journey. I see the full movie playing in my mind. Also great for reading, especially something eerie, mystical, or set in outer space.
Techno and house in its rhythms but with a slow tempo and with lots of atmospheric sounds. Beautiful music, too, in a blue and moody sense.
When you put on noise cancelling headphones and listen to this in the middle of a busy city it’s like a movie about a civilization in decay and the meaninglessness of everyday life. The scene when you’re watching them run around in their little useless lives and you already know but they don’t that their fraglie mudball planet is on an all-erasing collision course with a huge asteroid. Could be a soundtrack to Melancholia.
I’ve listened to this album a bunch of times and I’ve got to love it a lot. It is eerie, ethereal, artsy, folk and rock and drone ambient. It’s like the weirdo little sister of Dead Can Dance. And it’s got a lot of soul.
Beautiful peaceful ambient.
Another one from the archives that made a lasting mark on my recently played stats these days. If I were a teenage girl I would be a fan of Peter Steele, and forever sad that I’d never be able to see him alive.
Thanks to some random track-hopping on Spotify, turns out that I really like Paradise Lost. Will dig further in the discography.
Moody ambient jazz and the occasional romantisches saxophone.
Starts off as an IDM thing, then at some point turns into a drum and bass thing.
