That instrumentation on the first couple verses. Mm. Drop the rest of this album please.

Also, next major project is going to be making those bird helmets.

I love this song a lot more than I should. It's the opening of an anime series that you really should probably not look up at all, please, my cringe couldn't take it. Song sounds really '80s-ish (hints of Another Brick In The Wall? I'm bad with melodies or chords or whatever the fuck you call similar music sounds, I feel like I've heard a song exactly like this before but can't place it)

^ That one's blocked in the US, can't listen to new 80s throwback Angry

Head/heart explodes after 1:40. I really love this song and all that dissonant(? music theory is beyond me) stuff.

Someone put it on googledrive

SUPER 80s, like I would absolutely believe it was produced in 1988 with that slap bass and those synths. Pretty catchy too, except that guy talking at the beginning is cringe-tastic Razz

by bomaye Fri May 12, 2017 3:04 pm

After about 5 or 6 times, that guy talking at the beginning/laughing throughout the song became the best part of it Wink

In retrospect, Song of the Year for 2016. Very good album.

Oooh, damn. I don't generally like '70s soft rock, but as a contemporary homage to it, this shit is smooth.

by bomaye Sun Jul 16, 2017 5:41 pm

Though, you should absolutely listen to it with the translated lyrics, because holy shit those lyrics rofl

.

I guess the song is based off something called "Electric Lady", but I've never heard of it so it's probs not well-known at all because I absolutely keep up on music silent

I'm such a sucker for ridiculous vocalists who sound like joke singers except they're totally for serious

Here's some Japanese Idol/voice actress etc with her most well-known song, Sorairo Days, the opening for Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann

Here's the opening of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 1: Phantom Blood

Here's Sorairo Day's Idol singer covering the opening of JoJo Part 1, because it turns out she's a Jojo super-fan (here she is attempting to make out with Jotaro Kujo, the protagonist of Part 3: Stardust Crusaders. Tragically, Jotaro is not a real person and she'll never be able to accomplish her dream in life of marrying him.)

I just got into Future Islands-this was the (fan-made) video that introduced me to them.

The footage is from a Soviet-era sci-fi film: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Per_Aspera_Ad_Astra_(film)

Yeahhhhhhh buddy welcome to some wonderful music Grin

Going to see them again this month, very excited. First time I saw them live in 2013 I had no idea Sam was such a monster on stage, had never seen performance videos. What a mind-blowing surprise. You should absolutely try see them live if you can catch the current tour anywhere, it'll be one of the best shows you ever see.

(The Far Field did not deliver, IMO, with the possible exception of "Aladdin," but the rest of their stuff is so consistently good that I retain hope for the next album.)

I'm wishing I'd found out about the Cocteau Twins when I was a lot younger, but at least I finally did:

Aw, man, I actually could see them live, they're going to be near-ish me this month. I'd have to go through all the fun of having my work schedule adjusted to go, of course (shift work does not agree with me, but it's what I have at the moment, so...). I've missed out on some good shows, so I definitely want to get in the habit of going more often.

GO GO GO you won't regret it Shiny/thrilled

Work schedule adjustment < show you'll never forget. You'll thank yourself as an old man.
