Amph What was the last album you purchased/heard?

original star wars trilogy soundtrack cd's.

I only bought these to get a free Episode one soundtrack on lp.

 

Today I bought the soundtrack from The Graduate for a very low price. I love Simon and Garfunkel and I think it will be nice to finally have a few of my favorite songs by them on vinyl.

 

Nat King Cole "Mis Mejores Canciones: 19 Super Exitos"
Van Morrison "Moondance"

 

Albums that I purchased today:

- Devildriver: The Fury Of Our Maker's Hand
- Throwdown: Vendetta (Limited Edition w/bonus DVD)
- Haste The Day: When Everything Falls
- darkest hour: Undoing Ruin
- Stutterfly: And We Bled Of Color
- A Life Once Lost: Hunter
- Glass Casket: We Are Gathered Here Today

 

The last album I bought was Bruce Dickinson's A Tyranny of Souls, his first solo album since re-joining Iron Maiden. It's a great album, btter than his last effort, The Chemical Wedding, which was pretty good also. It's also better than the last Maiden album, Dance of Death, even though I have been a Maiden fan from way back in the early 80's.

I have to mention one thing here. Someone earlier compared being a DJ for some hip-hop group to being a drummer. Umm...no. There is no comparison. I have been playing drums for 23 years, and even though I don't believe this is what you intended, I am somewhat insulted by this comparison. Again, I don't think the person who wrote that intended to insult any musician. I have a friend who is a DJ in some amalgam band of metal and rap, and even he doesn't consider DJing to be playing an instrument. It's an effect, not even close to the same as an instrument. And yes, from watching him, both playing live and the preparations he has to go through, I know it's an involved process, but it's nowhere near the same as learning to play an instrument. And I'm not trying to insult anyone who likes hip-hop, (although I personally LOATHE it,) but I couldn't let that comment go by without some sort of response.

 

The last album I bought was DJ Vadim's USSR: Life From The Other Side. I've got a few of his tracks already on some Ninja Tune compilations, so I thought I'd get one of his albums and I got this as it was second hand. Not a bad album at all, tho not exactly mind-blowing. I've also got Bonobo's Animal Magic and Kinobe's (no, not me ) Wide Open albums in the post. Loved Bonobo's last album Dial 'M' For Monkey, and heard this older one's just as good, and I thought Kinobe's previous two albums were pretty good too.

While I have all their catalog in mp3 format I'm set to buy it as well. Pain of Salvation -Entropia.

 

Weezer's Maladroit, I lost my last copy or maybe someone stole it, who knows.

So I bought it again.

 

Demon Days, which I heartily recommend. It's got Dennis Hopper and Roots Manuva; what more could you want?

 

Nevermore - This Godless Endeavor
The Cult - Dreamtime
The Cult - Sonic Temple

 

Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band ~ The Beatles.

It was a few days ago, I had the intention of buying "All Things Must Pass" by George Harrison, but it wasn't in stock at Borders. So I went for Sgt Peppers, a great album. Just fantastic music.

Initial SG - Best Of Serge Gainsbourg

It's a very good album.

 

Forgotten Summer by Longspur. I bought it at the Warped Tour and even got it signed by Longspurs vocalist/screamer Diego, YEAH!!!!!!!!!

 

Bought a few today, all cheapos:

Prefuse 73 - Surrounded By Silence
DJ Food - Kaleidoscope
Zen RMX: Ninja Tune Recordings Remix Retrospective
De La Soul - De La Soul Is Dead

Been meaning to get De La Soul Is Dead on CD for ages, and apparently the guy put it on the shelf only moments before I bought it, so it was a good job I didn't get there a few minutes earlier.

 

Iannis Xénakis' Pléïdes. The composition is polyrhythmic music for percussion instruments. The music is similar to Indonesian gamelan with the contrasting percussive timbres.

 

System of a Down - 'Hypnotize'
Queens of the Stone Age - 'Over the Years and Through the Woods'

 

I bought the Jarhead soundtrack through iTunes. Good listen, for the most part.
