Confusion Is Next - "Lost In Dark Days"

mattconfusion — Sun, 17 Aug 2008 09:29:13 +0000

Seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, years. And seasons. We are all changed by the time passing by, by the vortex of the numbers representing it. 2005-2008: in this period we have wrote, played, lived, lost in dark days. 3 years for 8 fragments, divided in 2 parts, 4 fragments each, 4 as we are. The 1st part is noisy, ungraceful, rotten, rough, uncouth: recorded in january of 2007, 20 years after Sonic Youth's "Sister", Dinosaur Jr's "You're living all over me". The 2nd part, 15 months later, is introspective, ominous, disaffected: recorded in april of 2008, it's a more clean & mature sounding part, because of the fact that we have changed in this time.
7 songs are from late 2005-2006, improved in all these years, years in which we saw things slowly changing, while the time was running fast.
The last track is the youngest one, the summary of what it has been since now, and what will be in the future: doubts, false hopes, new illusions.
2 different parts, parts that together testify the days we went through. Sounds from the years we are born, '86 '87 '88. The lo-fi sound of us walking, lost in dark days.

Gelnior — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 17:47:34 +0000

For the second time (two years old !), Dolebrai Webradio released a compilation of netlabel tracks. This is an eclectic set of 16 titles. The main genre is electronic with some rock, jazz and hip-hop stuff included. The last songs are more dancefloor oriented to make it funkier !
It is not a "best of" tracks playlisted last year, but a selection of tracks/artists which marked our past year. We hope you will enjoy it !

It's also a way for us to thanks some netlabels : Supafeed, Aquietbump, Ideology, Jamendo, WMRecordings, Ekleipsi, Birdsong, Dirty Bird Rexxx, ccMixter, Thinner, Les cristaux liquident, Givighy Universal and Signorafranca.

We also want to hail a great netlabel scene contributor (not playlisted on this compilation, was on the first one !) who did a great job all along the year through his blog, his mixes, his tracks and his jingles ;).His name is In Vitro.

Diesmal widmet sich FreeQuency schwerpunktmäßig der Welt des digitalen Lo-Fi und der Homerecordings und wendet den musikalischen Blick auf Kleine und Große aus der Netaudio-Szene.
Von sympathischen Kling-Klang-Lullabies, die in nächtlichen Jamsessions vor dem eigenen Computer entstanden, bis hin zu elektronischem Ambient-Dub wird einmal mehr der große Klangteppich der freien Netzmusik vor den Ohren der Hörer ausgebreitet. Außerdem schauen wir uns den Mainstream-Netaudio-Aktivist Trent Reznor und seine Nine Inch Nails an und hören in sein aktuelles Album "The Slip", das er frei im Netz verbreiten lässt.

Shearer - Adam

Falk — Sun, 01 Jun 2008 20:29:50 +0000

Four guys from the capital of Germany crossing the republic. For three voices, melody, shouting and bad-ass guitars are the frame those four create their dreams of. You have to live music for approaching things as Shearer do. Genius and madness coupled with megalomania, which is entitled such as for hardly any other band.

The audience will expect a big rock album with 'Eve', but it also gives the necessary breaks for breathing, independent, catchy and diverse. The limited EP 'Adam' improves that work with even more power, a soft core and a heartbreaking end. Here you can feel the bundled intensity of the Shearer live gigs.

The whole thing was recorded at Music Lab Studio, produced by none other than Harris Johns. Private Life was completely abolished for about three months, in order to invest any spark of energy and creativity into their opus. The hard work was paid off. With 'Eve' and 'Adam' Shearer have a trend-setting masterpiece, which doesn't need to be afraid of comparisons with greats such as Foo Fighters or Beatsteaks, neither in sound nor musically things.

As it's predecessor the new album will be downloadable for an arbitrary value (or even for free!) on the band's webpage and is available in any store. The EP is exclusively available on the homepage of afmusic for free, as payable download in any popular download-stores and further more as limited CD (500 pieces) on the Shearer-Homepage or at their shows. For collectots there is even a strictly limited Double-CD Edition called 'Paradise' (200 pieces, numbered) which contains both albums in a digipak.

'Eve' and 'Adam' are under a Creative Commons by-nc-sa license; anyone can copy, sample or remix the songs for non-profit.

Botany Bay - Inhale

steph — Tue, 13 May 2008 13:26:46 +0000

It's been a while now since Botany Bay released their album "Grounded" under a creative commons licence. After six months of drafting new material and trying to reconcile two fulltime jobs with the desire to play more live gigs, Stephan and Laura now finally released a new single, "Inhale" on the net.

With its driving rhythm and its "Carpe diem" message, "Inhale" marks quite a departure from the sound Botany Bay established on "Grounded". But listening closer to "Inhale", one can find many connections to Botany Bay's previous work...

Ultra Dark Radio - Compilation III. 'Mensch und Maschine'

Falk — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 09:07:56 +0000

The history of the relationship between man and machine is a history of symbolic interpretation and design of this relationship. But on the third volume of the Ultra Dark Radio-Compilation it has less to do with omnipotent feelings than with the contrast of various musical genres.

So on the first part of the compilation mainly machines are running their riot during the second part brings handmade guitarsounds to the fans' ears.

With that, all contrasts had been shown anyway which came up in the collaboration between both I-Net Radios Ultra Dark Radio and darkerradio, and it's going on for 2 years now. First of all complementing each other in an exceeding way.

And so there are with Taxim, Wynardtage, T.H.Industry, davoS, Decence, Warforge, DEN.C.T.BUG, Isis Signum feat. Sara Noxx, davaNtage, Dolls of Pain, Advocatus Diaboli, Arts of Erebus, Curious, Heavy-Current, Mystigma, The Pussybats and Reptyle – and many more damn cool bands – no unknowns on the compilation. Bands and artists which both have found their solid place on the stations are contributing here with unreleased tracks or exclusive remixes of their songs.

'Man and machine' or as the colloquial language tells: 'Opposites attract.'

all:my:faults - neo.NøiR

Falk — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 17:19:30 +0000

Still it's difficult to find the right stamp for the band all:my:faults. And as you can hear on the new album, steve:kiai's still able to arrange dark soundwaves and feelings with classical & modern Rocksounds. The press wrote about a band going new musical ways, but it seem's they've ignored the fact that this is nothing but the typical underground. With releases that solely by the content and less by the outer appearance reached a big audience worldwide.

As a second vocalist & writer jonas:iscariot (Agathodaimon [Black Metal]) and ralf from 'Unknown Darkness' [Trash/Metalcore] on guitars came aboard the a:m:f-ship, and it was within a year - a diverse album - full of variations: neo.NøiR was born.

So if you've deceived to hear the album to its end: discover more than one side of all:my:faults.

second music clip from an announced tetralogy

PREWIND11 — Wed, 23 Jan 2008 23:54:16 +0000

This is the music clip for the song "outside", which is also on the cd "inside of me". The clip is pretty wild and exciting to watch. It is planned to make music clips for each and every song of the 4 tracks on the cd.

something for the eye from PREWIND11

PREWIND11 — Thu, 27 Dec 2007 12:31:06 +0000

It is the first time you see something from PREWIND11. The new music clip for the track “decisions” from the record “inside of me” is finished and you will have the chance to see it for the first time.

Diversified music from PREWIND11

PREWIND11 — Sat, 01 Dec 2007 16:59:58 +0000

Finally the new maxi album from PREWIND11 with interesting and varying music is here. It contains 4 tracks, one of them is the single “inside of me”, which is very melancholic and yet quiet strong. The songs “back and forth” and “outside”, with a tough voice and distorted guitars, go into the style alternative rock. Last but not least, the track “decisions”, which has a very memorable melody and with a calm voice sounds very commercial.

kus — Fri, 17 Aug 2007 11:14:16 +0000

So, jetzt aber richtig. Wenn Blogger einander Dinge abschreiben, dann verlinken sie einander. Der MP3 Blogger Falk mag es genausowenig, wenn man bei ihm abschreibt ohne ihn zu verlinken wie alle anderen Blogger es auch nicht mögen. Es macht viel Arbeit gute Musik zu produzieren, ebenso macht es viel Arbeit diese Musik zu finden und zu besprechen.

Darum sei hier erwähnt: Falk hats gefunden bei Jhuruza Records aus Österreich. Danke Falk und Respect für deinen tollen Blog.

Nun zum Song: Brettert auf dem Sennheiser HD25-1 II (das ist ein Kopfhörer) wie deppert und erzählt die Geschichte von real Stars.

Podcast out of the river

linusfm — Mon, 13 Aug 2007 13:15:35 +0000

IMFLUSS (meaning "in the river") is a festival that takes place in summer in Basel/Switzerland. The acts play on a raft in the middle of the "Rhine", the audience sits by the riverside. If the weather plays along, the festival is THE place to spend the evening. Even more, because the concerts are free.

To get more known and eventually attract further sponsors for the coming years, the festival is producing a podcast with concert highlights and artist interviews. In the movie below, you'll see a short clip about bern-originated rapper "BAZE". Be warned: if you don't understand swiss german, it'll give you a hard time. But you can still enjoy the music.
