Mathias: Get better handwriting thx

lol sorry, I rushed through that a bit.
 
Man, the BM that Mathias gave me is pretty catchy. I'll have to check out more Masters Hammer soon

I swear to god I thought you said BJ instead of BM.


You got a scweet fucking mix. Good job there Mathias. You should have tried to include Karn Evil 9 on the last disc. I've not got into Yes very much, but I have had The Yes Album for a long time.
 
Just received your package, ShredHeadJHJ. You and Mort Divine will probably get mine tonight. ;)

Wow, that sounds dirty.

But I'll give it a listen after I get home from work tonight.
 
Man, the BM that Mathias gave me is pretty catchy. I'll have to check out more Masters Hammer soon

Nuclear War Now just licensed the first two albums from Osmose. I would assume he's going to reissue them on CD in addition to the LPs that he always does. He mentioned that Osmose wants him to do them together, which is gay.
 
It probably won't be until next year tbh, he has a huge and expanding schedule, but I can't be certain. Maybe since this is a major project licensed from a larger label it will be bumped up.
 
I got yours shred, I'll have my mix for you sent out probably tomorrow before I go in to work, and I'll get it to you too Voss

EDIT:

1. Tori Amos - Precious Things

Great song from Tori, who I am already a fan of. Shows off her eccentricity without being completely off putting. Great vocal performance, great energy to the song, overall very good.

2. Rabbit in the Moon - Outer Body Experience

Really enjoyed it, nice and relaxing, but still had a bit of a driving energy. Definitely a band I'm going to look more into.

3. Al Di Meola - Fight Over Reo

Started out slow, but when it reached about two minutes into it things started to pick up. Pretty interesting, not too sure I'm that big a fan of it though. Good musicianship but nothing I could listen to too often.

4. Dave Martone - The Four Horsemen

To be honest this was like a cheap mans Steve Vai :(

5. TonyMacAlpine/Bunny Brunel/Dennis Chambers - Cab

Amazing bass solo, and of these instrumental showcase songs definitely the best so far.

6. Spastic Ink - Words for Nerds

Already was a fan of the band, but I forgot about this song. Nice guitar work, amazing bass work, everything about the drums rules, but the stupid little samples were annoying as hell.

7. Graveword - Portrait of a Deadly Nightshade

Good lyrics, and the occasional good riff, but not really my style. I guess it is better than most things I've heard from that style though :)

8. Jason Becker - Temple of the Absurd

Holy shit some good riffs here, also some great soloing, great shit.

9. Yngwie J. Malmsteen - How Many Miles to Babylon

Ehh, preconceptions coming into this song - it would be boring, it would be overly shreddy, and it would suck. Well it was kind of boring, I didn't like the shreddiness of it, but it didn't really suck. There were some interesting parts.

10. maudlin of the Well (you spelled it wrong on the CD insert man, the m isn't capitalized) - They Aren't All Beautiful

Great band, great song, furious as all hell but they know how to prevent it from being just a mindless wall of blasting and hate. Certainly one of their best songs, and probably the best song on the disc.

11. Pavor - Corpses

Obviously very good bass work, I mean it is Pavor! The riffs are good, and the vocals work, but aside from the bass nothing really sticks out enough to say HEY THIS IS FUCKING AMAZING

12. Lux Occulta - The Heresiarch

Ther are definitely some good riffs to be found here, and in the first part of it. The almost kind of randomly thrown in bits don't really add much to the song itself though, it sounds like a lesser version of Arcturus with a greater focus on the black metal aspect to be honest.

13. Delerium featuring Sarah McLachlan - Silence

I love Sarah's voice so much, really kind of eerie and haunting sounding in this song, and she was definitely the highlight of the song. The music was just there to create the right sound for her to sing over. Very nice song.
 
Dodens also sent me a compilation of thrash metal that included a lot of classics, obscure gems and good newer bands, which I enjoyed nearly all of. I'll definitely be exploring some of those bands, and I finally gained an appreciation for some classics like Slayer and Kreator.

He also sent me a death metal compilation, and I was surprised by how much of it I enjoyed. I'll be checking a lot of these bands out. I always wondered what Thou Shalt Suffer and Grotesque sounded like, and a lot of the newer bands like Dead Congregation are just amazing.

The scary part is that he isn't done yet, and I've already heard somewhere around 150 bands. :yow:

Yeah, I tried to put Karn Evil 9 on there, but wmp fucked up and I didn't feel like. Those Yes songs are off the newer albums.

Nuclear War Now just licensed the first two albums from Osmose. I would assume he's going to reissue them on CD in addition to the LPs that he always does. He mentioned that Osmose wants him to do them together, which is gay.

That is pretty gay. I'll probably buy anything that has MH on it though so w/e
 
9. Yngwie J. Malmsteen - How Many Miles to Babylon

Thanks for the great review, but you're totally wrong about IngVay. Throw all your misconceptions out the wondow. The song had a clean intro, verses, choruses, solo & just the normal stuff to expect out of a song. It's not like I sent you a 5 minute track of Yngwie running a scale at shred speed, & the solo was tasteful. I'm a huge Yngwie nut & I think that was a good showcase songs to show his style.

Great review though, & I didn't want to put anything too blatantly obvious on there. Seems like you heard a fair bit of that stuff already. I thought the Tori & RitM opener was a nice touch.
 
Yeah, it wasn't as bad as I figured it would be, just some parts failed to catch my attention.

I shipped out my mix today for you, hopefully you like it :D
