>Finishing Silent Hill OSTs. Ratings soonish these are great. 2,3,4 are my faves. that's awesome to hear, glad you like it np. heard it last week, pleasant album
Jordan Gomez
would fishmans be considered chamber pop? always consider them more dream pop and I thought that was the consensus
thanks
already listened, bad meme, 4/5 album
Joshua Jones
They're all great, honestly. I've only heard 1-4 but I've enjoyed them all. 1 has a certain dark ambient/industrial feel to it and I really admire it, though 2 is my fav.
>would fishmans be considered chamber pop no, I just rec everyone Fishmans because I'm/they're a meme and I love them. What have you heard by them other than Long Season
Hey I know those boys
Carson Ramirez
>不失者 Is their live video of it the source of the "nasty manga grandpa" meme?
Oliver Myers
the name escapes me, but it was their big pop album, p great
Justin Gomez
I think that was the Haino x Hayward show.
Ryder Russell
Kuchu Camp? The one of their jpeg floating in the air? That one gets less love than it should, but if you enjoyed that Uchu Nippon Setagaya is essential, and 98.12.28 is perfect /daily/core.
Those two have somewhat of a chamber-y, but more Progressive Pop element to them with their diversity in instrumentation. If you enjoy chamber pop I'm sure you'd get a kick out of them.

Angel Olsen - MY WOMAN (2016) >indie rock
Simultaneously a summation of all of Olsen's previous work thus far and a step in an interesting new direction. The most interesting departure from her previous albums is her voice. While it still has the power and passion she's known for on some tracks, other tracks adopt a more soft-spoken, devastating style of vocal, and it's done incredibly well. She really knows just what vocal style goes with a certain style of music, the slowburners get the more drawn-out, lowkey vocals and the upbeat, poppy tracks get the loud, bombastic vocals. The diversity of the instrumentals is a nice draw too, I figured that this would be a jump to synthpop after "Intern", the first single, came out, but that's the only track of that style on this album, and it's the first track. I'd imagine that an opening track that's radically different from the following tracks would stick out like a sore thumb, but it sets the mood of the album nicely. Honestly, I wish there were more songs like "Intern" on here, because the other short songs that are more indie rock in sound, save for "Shut Up Kiss Me", are forgettable, especially in comparison to songs like "Sister" and "Woman". An album of long, slow tracks like that would be just fucking incredible. But still, even if some tracks aren't that memorable, this is a wonderful step in the correct direction.

well shit man I'll check it out, listened to like half of 98.12.28 wayyy back n I thought it was 3/5
always heard you have to listen to their whole discog to get a real feel for it so ill give it a try sometime in the future

The first half isn't that good honestly. Walking in the Rhythm is the point where it starts being godly.
David King
>Hoedh - HYMNVS Some really slow moving ambient with a slightly spooky vibe to tie it all together. Basically for each song a short line is repeated constantly for the entire duration of the song with extremely subtle changes that sporadically appear. It's very simple, but it really puts you into a kind of trance and time just flies by when listening too it. I loved the really deep bass note that played on the third song Von Zauber der Weihe. Listening to this in a quiet place is a must to really hear all the cool stuff going on. blue triangle/10
dope. I always say 98.12.28 is better in context when having heard a good portion of their material, but not entirely necessary nor a guarantee that you'll like it at all. However, seeing how they expanded on their works throughout their discog is quite the sight.
Posting this yet again.
naaaaaaaah
End of Walking in the Rhythm is one of my favorite moments but a lot of other fantastic stuff happens in the first half >All the crazy shit that happens in the background of Thank You >The stage intros and violin drop on Oh! Slime >The moment right before the vocals come in on nightcruising >The all over the place strumming on ひこうき >The organ on なんてったの >The fact that the ending of Walking in the Rhythm is 2x as satisfying after it expands on what was already dope from In the Flight To each their own but I've probably listened to the first half more than the second honestly.
And yes I did copy/paste half those names too ;P
Thomas Long
Which albums/EPs are essential listening for the so called God Tier live album? It's what's honestly really got me intrigued about this band.
Blake Lee
>>nobody is obligated to like anything. >Nor the other way around.
what the hell were you trying to say here, TBHfam?
David Price
That disliking something because it has a certain quality is kinda dumb. It's like hating someone just because of their skin color even if outside of that they have a lot in common with you. There's a difference between that and just saying that it's not one's thing which is far more understandable. It's like if White Light White Heat was done with Sgt Peppers production because the latters production style is the more popular and comfortable one. It would be stupid to ask for WLWH with a more compressed production like that because then it would cease to offer the majority of what it does if that were to happen.
Nathaniel Richardson
I'M FISH has definitely listened to fishmans more than me but personally i feel like 98.12.28 is a good second point in their discography after Long Season of course because that's the definite starting place for anyone.
Christopher Sanchez
RYM is down now. what do?
Bentley Ortiz

Chase Butler
sonemic happening?
Nicholas Hughes
98.12.28 has at least one track from every studio album, making it seem almost like a homage to their whole discog.
At the VERY minimum, I would say at least listen to the studio version of every track on the 98.12.28 before listening + the Oh! Crime/Slime intros to their two live albums. Gives better context as to how they expanded on their music.
Other than that, I would say their last three albums, Uchu Nippon Setagaya, Long Season, and Kuchu camp are 100% essential. Try Orange or Neo Yankee's Holiday, and if you don't really enjoy those, then just listen to the selected tracks from those that are on 98.12.28. Otherwise, I would say listen through every studio album, the In the Air single, and at least one prior live album before jumping into 98.12.28.
Or, honestly, you could just ignore all this and jump straight into 98.12.28. After all, most people have only heard Long Season and 98.12.8 anyways and, minus a few exceptions, most have enjoyed 98.12.28 profusely despite not being exposed to their studio work. My point is that you'll enjoy 98.12.28 MUCH more if you have the context on how they expanded on their studio discog.
God I really need to review this album sometime.
98.12.28 COULD be a good place to give you a sample of all the different eras of their discog, since it does have at least one song from every album + a couple others, but I feel the former method would make for a more satisfying experience. But I'm just a fanboy so you do you I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
mines fine but do regardless

Just Folk My Shit Up: Fahey Edition - Day 6
Volume 6: Days Have Gone By
Another impressive release from Fahey in terms of what I think. There are three particular things I really enjoyed about this release.
1. Rhythm: Fahey continues to become even more technically skilled on the guitar, and he's able to channel it creatively. The album's full of chords that are played in a sweeping fashion rather than a full chord. There are a ton of moments that are built on poly-rhythmic sections in terms of how one would look at it from a classical guitar sense. So for example there's the part that's usually played as a rhythm part and the other that's a lead (whether it's the part that's lower or higher changes throughout.) In this case, the lead parts have gotten increasingly more complex allowing for even more varied and interesting music. Despite this it's not like he gets indulgent or anything either in fact there are just a lot of straight up chords he plays on this more than his previous works I'll say more on that later.
To be continued in next post
Brody Cook
2. Eastern/Drone elements: After really messing with some chords that were alien and dissonant at the time in the previous album, Fahey continues on with the ideas. A different progression on notes will be done (and it'll be damn obvious if you listen to this album) and it'll often come with a change in rhythm and feel to bring a change to whatever type of story a track's trying to go for. In terms of drone, there are three really cool ways Fahey approaches it on this album. He does a The Velvet Underground on “Heroin” style proto-post rock minimalism style builds on a lot of the tracks (ex. The first two tracks will have the rhythm section being played by just a couple notes then it will evolve into bigger chords.) On the A Raga Called Pat series he does like a more traditional Indian style drone that will appear later (a particular part is actually on Fare Forward Voyagers's title track.) But the least obvious and least suspicious way he does it is by...just playing chords? How does that work? Because of-
3. The production: Fahey's learned this time to get more out of each and every single sound that comes out of his acoustic guitar. I love how the production really picks up on his different picking styles, and really important for this album (and why he plays so many just straight up chords) is that now, the notes really ring out. So when he plays a chord, it's easy to hear each individual tone just passing through the musical space. This isn't like some Bob Dylan or Neil Young stuff, rather it's more like something a minimalist/modern classical composer would do. Another thing that's great on this end is particularly on the Raga Called Pat tracks where he has ambient train, rain, and wind sounds which in the middle turn into some kind of electronic whistle thing, too and how he implements those sounds.
To be continued in next/final post
Easton Baker
The album's got a lot of just straight up cool moments. Impressions Of Susan has that one change in it 2 minutes in where Fahey changes up his picking style and the feel of the track itself changes, and then the big change near the end where the production itself caters to the ringing out of the notes/chords for maximum drone. Night Train Of Valhalla starting off slow and comfy kinda giving that spiritual feel before the metaphorical train starts and Fahey picks up on the speed and happenings of the track then slowing down again as the metaphorical train reaches its destination. Both parts of A Raga Called Pat being interesting because it starts off with the train and rain sounds, then all that later in the track turns into this whistling electronic wail, then even later the actual rain and wind sounds BECOME THE DRONE of the track, way too fucking cool. My Shepherd Will Supply My Needs having this classical style approach to structure where a variety of different phrases are connected by a main one that's some chords that sound nice and catchy (also ringing out to get some drones.) My Grandfather's Clock having Fahey and the guest guitarist who's exclusively on this track have their guitars come in with some sort of studio trickery with some sort of fade in type thing.
3.5/5 (maybe a 4 in the future)
Fahey's continually feeling less like another folk guy and more like a true complete package style guitarist like Hendrix but in his own way.
Landon Powell

Kayden Peterson
>That disliking something because it has a certain quality is kinda dumb. how is that the "other way around" from not having to like something? that's not a good phrase to use in this case. the other way around from "nobody is obligated to like anything" is "nothing is obligated to like anyone" (i.e. nonsense).
Semantics aside, i'm not saying anything to the effect of what your post asserts. I wouldn't argue that.

Lincoln Garcia
Would rec! Did you like Long Season?
Gabriel Brooks
Nobody's obligated to dislike anything is the opposite.
And if you weren't, why the fuck did you even start with the response you did?
Seriously he really is. I can't believe people don't worship guys like him and Branca more when it comes to guitar work.
Alright I think I'll hit the recommended. Actually nvm I'll go trve since it's not much more than their studio albums and it seems on various spots online all their studio albums are decently rated even if not many ratings. Might be something I'll have to do after I finish Fahey though.
Asher Edwards
It's a 9/10 in my books And there was a time where i could only listen to it
Ian Price
this is nice thanks doggy
Carson Sanders
dope! I'm looking forward to that and your Fahey ratings.
A lot of people (including me) say the 98.12.28 version of Long Season >> than the studio version. Would rec hearing at least a bit of their other stuff first, but you just do you you absolute madman.
Owen Nelson
lots of Pendulum today.
Liam Watson
I fucking loved Hold Your Colour. Don't know about In Silico. Also Blood Sugar is weeb essential. This sunday i'm going on a flight, going to listen to Long Season. I wonder how's the experience going to be. Going to try to sync the lift with that bit ln Part I where the synth appears
Luke Brooks
Hold Your Colour as an album didn't suit my taste as much as In Silico. I like the actual song though. Immersion had some great stuff, favorite song of theirs is off that one.

I actually listened to Fishmans on a plane last time I flew to NY. Great times.
I'm glad most people in /daily/ seem to get over things real fast and most people here are never petty about shit for long. Makes coming back not a chore.
Just over two and a half years probably, close-ish to 3. I think I was slightly early on the bell curve to the Long Season craze post-discovery rym/mu discovery, but by no means a "discoverer" of them, as they'd been talked about frequently by the time I'd found out about them. They were actually one of the first things I'd rated on RYM when I made my acct: rateyourmusic.com/collection/I_AM_FISH/r0.5-5.0,ss.d

Jose Cruz
So I was using one of you guys' RYMs to browse you other guys' RYMs. As "suspect" as Fish's RYM looks, isn't Kubera's even more suspect?
I never thought of it considering how he's always dressed, but man this guy must OBSESS over The Velvet Underground possibly even more than Fish does Fishmans and Doggo does Haino himself.

A time ago I was doing 10+ albums a day, so I got a lot of shit done. Plus first couple weeks was rating from memeory of shit I'd listened to a million times like Radiohead, Beatles, E Smith, etc.
>suspect you mean suspicious? And he's been using it for longer, so it'd make sense he has more ratings. I just listen to a lot of new shit obsessively.

>山岡晃 - Silent Hill 3 2nd best entry in the OSTs. Shares most similarities with 2’s Trip Hop/Dark Ambient/Alt Rock feel, just with much less industrial music than the first two, but still a few tracks like it in there. Features a lot of singing from a female vocalist who appears in later SH OSTs like Zero and Shattered Memories. Not as great as 2’s OST, but probably the most variable of any of them. 8
>Igorrr - Hallelujah Blew my balls off. Breakcore mix of classical and avant-garde metal, with a shit ton of sound collage elements. One of the most original albums I have ever heard and you should all hear this regardless if it sounds like something that would appeal to you. 8
>山岡晃 - Silent Hill 4: The Room Some of my favorite SH tunes on here, and that’s saying a lot, but a lot of that final disc was very underwhelming. Japanese spoken word explaining the story of the game in greater detail with a great ambience to it, but after an hour it starts to grade on you. If you’re going all the way through SH’s OSTs, start at the original and go halfway through 4. 7
>Tears for Fears – Songs From the Big Chair Very good pop album. “Head Over Heels”, “Everybody Wants to Rule the World”, and “Shout” were all great tunes, but beyond that semi-progressive feeling I wasn’t huge on this. About half of the songs were great and the other very forgettable. 6
>Igorr – Nostril Again, a really great variable breakcore album, but less boundry-pushing and definined than Hallelujah. Still a great listen regardless. 6
>光田康典 – Xenogears Something I liked about this is the slightly longer (comparatively) songs here. This had a mix of classical-sounding (I guess it’s supposed to be Celtic Folk, but I’m not experienced enough in that genre) and standard MIDI music. I don’t know what it was about first-generation disc consoles like PSOne, but their OSTs seem much more dry perhaps to the systems not presenting much more barricades in sound cards, but this demonstrates some nice sounds. 6

Aaron White
>近藤浩治 – Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker I came back to this game recently, and while I adore a lot of things about it just didn’t hold up in comparison to, say, Majora’s Mask imo. This soundtrack must’ve been compiled by someone with ADD imo. You know how most soundtracks (see: Xenogears) will have about a minute or so loop that repeats? Most videogame soundtracks have this loop two, or even three times if it is too short to go over a minute or so. However, the compiling of this OST is infuriating. 80% of the tracks were ~40 seconds long. Not only that, but practically every sound effect is put in here as a few second track. Completely unnecessary and unsatisfying, this soundtrack clocks in at just around 2 hours and 133 tracks. Shame, really, because I actually enjoy a lot of these tracks, but the editing is abysmal. 3

Good morning, /daily/equals. I hope you are having a good time doing whatever you are doing and that you are well-fed, of body and mind. I have a bit of toothache but it is nothing too bad.
Going to listen to more tuntablism and Tuvan music today. Might be helping my little brother move into his new apartment today as well.
What are you up to?
There is nothing wrong with that. Both are still fantastic bands, though. I am much more familiar with Tears for Fears than with New Order, though.
