Actually, I think I might actually slow down with this. I've got a ton of reading for my classes.

I will never deviate from my weekly schedule.
But yeah, Saaad is one of the better things I've linked to. I'm glad you pay attention to me :D

17. Recommended to me in the earlier months of 2011 by harmonium.ro, Kingdom
by Parachute Pulse has since been and off-and-on favorite listening experience
for me during my frequent gloomy nights. This music is based on a Harold Budd
type of piano-centered ambience, but I personally think Parachute Pulse's music
is a bit deeper and definitely a lot more active. Aside from the prominent piano,
there is a strong use of echoing, the kling-klang of various objects,
choir-like vocal drones, and skittering electronics. The effects added to and
on top of the piano generate both a certain warmth and coldness that I have
trouble describing. It's almost like the warm radiance of the sun, but also
acknowledging the chilling internal feeling that you'd have when you notice
that you're drifting too close to the sun towards an imminent disintigration.
Or perhaps like being in a dark, damp cave with the view of a small opening
above where rare angelic natural light beam is shining through. Either way,
regardless of my colorful and undeniably gay explanations of the music on this
album, Kingdom is definitely worth checking out if you're into
ambient-inspired electronic music that isn't just an impenetrable
boredom-inducing drone.

This is interesting. Sounds like psychedelic kraut noise. Some of the metallic echoing effects make this sounds like a krauty version of Vompatti's Golden Cliffs.  |

Hi, Alan.

But it has all of the above mentioned at at least some points in the song... It's a great piece, regardless of some people not liking it. There's nothing wrong with it.  |

16. Another one of my many non-prog electronic selections, although loosely
prog-related electronic: Givian is the music project of artist
Keala Bowden, who has made the artwork
for the Beardfish albums Destined Solitare and Mammoth, as well
as the Romantic Warriors DVD. Earlier last year, Bowden created a thread
on PA about this music project of
his which only
3 people replied to, and I've been listening to this album off and on
since then. Though I do think Beardfish is one of the better retro-mentality
prog groups of the 21st century, Givian's debut album, Upperfriend, does
not sound at all like an electronic Beardfish. The closest that I can come to
comparing Upperfriend with music by another artist is Flying Lotus' Cosmogramma,
which is an album I admittedly don't enjoy very much because it seems too
random for almost its entire duration. Upperfriend has the same tendency
for randomness and even shares the same jazzy undertones, high-pitched and thin
synth noodling, and strong instrumental hip-hop vibe. However, many of the
tracks on this album have a glistening quality and also a faint touch of
rainforest-like atmosphere that makes this album a bit different. Enjoy!

Thanks, this sounds great! It's got a strong krautrock flavor that sounds really nice

15.
I am a huge Deftones fan, so I frequently search for news of a new Deftones album, updates about Chi's progress with recovering from his recent coma, and news of any projects that the members might be involved in. I didn't like Chino's projects all that much for whatever reason, but Stephen Carpenter (Deftones' guitarist) teamed up with some guys and a member from Cyprus Hill to create Sol Invicto, which is equal elements dub, drum & bass, industrial, and metal. Their Initium EP is available for free, and though it's not prog at all, I did find it to be thoroughly enjoyable. I'm about to study for a test so I won't get all colorful and ridiculous in describing the sound of the album, but I will tell you to at least check it out if you like Stephen's low-tuned, churning guitar chugging style that he uses on Deftones' heaviest songs or if you like industrial drum & bass that isn't intended purely for dance. Enjoy!  Edited by colorofmoney91 - January 08 2012 at 19:36 |

I'm ALL for wtf music - but this piece just isn't adventurous as it thinks it is. What might help is a dose of microtonality, or more noise, or less recognizable instrumentation (guitars?), or rhythm, or...
But - believe me when I say I've heard worse music in graduate school recital halls. Ugh...

14. And a happy new year to all! I've been listening to this album titled Collage by Oomkah Dee/ Black Sky Chant that was once upon a time recommended by The Truth (and here). This album is made up of 2 long tracks with each at about 30 minutes in length and containing a lot of character. The foundation that these two tracks build on is primarily ambient, but unlike most ambient, each track varies in mood throughout its runtime and periodically incorporates sung vocals, beautifully played string instruments, piano, and (mostly in the second track) an almost dubstep type of beat and drum track. Parts of the album sound vintage and other parts sound very modern, which also adds a depth to this album that most releases of this genre don't usually have now days.

Yeah, I'm sure most of this music is going to be at least slightly amateurish, since it's free and all.

Listened to no. 10 the other night reminded me of a cross between Andrew Chalk and David Tudor's Rainforest with a bit of an amateur-ish (not a bad thing) feel.
