The Knife - Silent Shout


Style: Electronic, I want to dance in an underground club like, synthpop
Dear passengers, here on the right hand side we can see local musicians in their casual clothes...

There must be nearly hundreds of reviews about The Knife's Silent Shout...and last month they won in 6 categories in Swedish Grammy awards including album and the artist of the year. But anyway, I've been listening for a long time and do some special approval tests on it. It passed and they are now honored to be in this soundtrack...

There is a giant leap between the earlier album "Deep Cuts", sound changed a little, actually one can say it is progressed and evolved in to a more complicated, more complex structure.

Peak of the album,that is subjective of course, is "We Share Our Mother's Health" and therefore it is picked for the soundtrack. It' melodic, repetitive, mesmerizing...and so on...how can two unique vocals never crossing one others line, blended together with balance...Unique must be the word. Just to be mainstream: Two Thumbs Up...(never again)..

Nick Drake - Pink Moon

If Nick Drake's Pink Moon had come out yesterday,
it is possible all of us would be listening it today. I mean all the day..24 hours to be exact...

Recorded only in 2 nights in 1972, with only a sound engineer, and solo guitar, Pink Moon is the masterpiece of an underrated ( at 1972) 24 year old...

I am not going to review this album...it must have been reviewed thousand times...If somehow, a traveler in internet, reads this,i am talking to you... go and listen to this album...See what influenced or created today's music...Try to see things behind the sun...

This album can not be described...Just close your eyes and listen...

Don't be shy you learn to fly
And see the sun when day is done
If only you see
Just what you are beneath a star
That came to stay one rainy day
In autumn for free
Yes, be what you'll be.
Please beware of them that stare
They'll only smile to see you while
Your time away
And once you've seen what they have been
To win the earth just won't seem worth
Your night or your day
Who'll hear what I say.

Song For The Soundtrack: #2-Things Behind The Sun
by Nick Drake

The Postal Service - Give Up


Yes, i know, i also think a Sigur Rós review will be adequate for a start...but i am a little bit lazy to do that...

Anyway, Give Up by The Postal Service released in 2003. I and several friends(not so many) of mine discovered them while we are in our Notwistian phase of our short lives. I liked first two songs actuallt at that time. District sleeps alone tonight and Such Great Hights... I never really listen the album entirely...

There are 8,949,959 plays scrobbled on last.fm which is a huge number i guess...So there are lots of fans out somewhere in indie universe...P.S consist of a guy from death cab for cutie(i really don't like them), and dntel(which i really like his work)..

2 years later, listened it entirely...

This album, in my own view, must be listened while drinking coffee, or baileys-coffee, or a slow-drink...by the window...watching people walking...or just staring out though the emptiness... It is a sit-think-drink-listen album...

I may say that everysong has its own value but when you listened it entirely, i sense that every song is similar to another...A catchy tune, some drum riff(can we say that?) lyrics, a chorus and a bridge...in indielectronica way...but it's cool...They taste different but looks alike...who cares...

I will not go into detail of everysong which will be boring..so i decided to choose from now on a song to describe...so the winner is...

This place is a prison is the most impressive work out of this 10 track album. It has powerful lyrics -I know that it's not a party if it happens everynight-, a slow but still catchy tune, drums that come in to play on time, dramatic syths...like a movement in your brain, sends you out in to the rain...

Ágætis Byrjun

I start to write this blog a while ago...Sometime in 2005...I wrote only one post then i stopped. It was just an attempt to discover "blogosphere"... Today I decide to write a what they called a webzine...I will use this blog as a place where i write my own thoughts of albums that i've been listening to...(It must be really easy to write about an album you never heard of..)

This is just a desire, an immitation of others,other magazines,websites, people that will never hire me...

Why a person want to publish a maga/web-zine? I really don't know... It is possible to fulfill his need to achievement,success.

This will be a secret pla
ce for me where i keep my thoughts...to not to forget what i said.I am not sure will i continue to write...or how often will i write...

Soundtrack of a Rainy Afternoon...It is a good, fresh start as the title suggests...
Who knows, where on earth rain falls just know...and there is a human being who listens to music..

Have a nice trip...do not hesitate to leave anytime you want..
