    Glamour got a reaction from Tetora in Songs with distortions, SFX, tracks that link. ☆   
    Interested in hearing which songs people have found that contain distortions. By this, I mean examples such as:
     
    DEVI+TEC - ヴィデオドローム
    CELL - 殺意の前
    Neue Ziel - 世界消失
     
    Also, from a band that doesn't specialize in cool sounds like that like FLOPPY or メトロノーム (but E'm~grief~ is good).
     
    Also, tracks that contain SFX of varieties like:
     
    Metis Gretel - †Metamorphose†
    KISAKI PROJECT - 飼い主は犬
    Atmos*note - 眠れない仔猫/The ethereal image
    お遊戯ゎが魔々団×【PaRADEiS】 - 幼き双子の秘密
    Dué le quartz - Monochrome
    E'm~grief~ - In paradism ~淡い色彩~
     
    Also, tracks in a release that link together. For instance, a song on track 1 doesn't end, and instead sort of continues into track 2. Examples include:
     
    陰陽座 - 焔之鳥 → 鳳翼天翔
    SKULL - karma → voice
    Vanish - Glad Eye → 極彩色
    カメレオ -  マジカルドリンク → 「バカ・・・バカ・・・バカ・・・」
    Chaos†System - Hallucination → Needle Play~鉄の処女 Episode 2~
     
    (Could also include songs that have very different sounds within one track i.e. Mix Speaker's,Inc. - Friday Night Party!!! ~Digital Romance, 凸凹珍道中, MASK DE NIGHT~)
     
    I wasn't able to provide many examples (or perhaps, not even the best), but I hope you understand the type of things I'm looking for. The examples I've provided were the only songs I could think of at the top of my head. But, I know I've listened to many others. You may notice many of these are V系 examples, so those are encouraged. Thanks!

    Wanted to somewhat make a random comment about transcodes without making a new thread or updating one from years ago.
     
    Personally, I found myself to believe that transcodes were something that should be avoided at all costs. However, lately, I've come to the conclusion that they're just fine. While I'd prefer something ripped in higher quality, the quality can sometimes be quite discernible. This is comparing transcodes to 256/320Kbps rips through Bose heaphones as well as a decent car sound system. I've even found certain 320Kbps rips that double rainbow across Spek sound much worse than even 192Kbps rips. Considering ripping can be made so customizable, I'm sure many people are just not configuring the rip settings correctly, adding balance to the volume when it's not needed and such.
     
    Originally, I thought this term meant something that was ripped through Youtube. Now, that's something I don't want. Though, even HQ rips through Youtube are proving to sound better than all of that old VK mess many of us have ranging from the late 80s to late 90s; you know, the tape rips and other rips done when quality wasn't as prominent (many are 128Kbps).
     
    Anyway, it's not an important subject; just wanted to comment on it. We're lucky to be able to listen to the songs at all provided they are no where else to be heard.
     
    I missed touching on several other subjects regarding the matter (filetypes: wma, flac, etc.), but I'm not looking for a response or anything. I'll just leave it as that for now.
     
    (And if you do feel the need to respond, I'll gladly hit any points or arguments you have to make.)

    Give me a ring if you need assistance as my past time is reading up about (mostly the older) visual kei bands. I've spent much time tracking down the approximate release date(s) for every release as well as at least finding the cover art. It's quite an adventure, believe it or not. My library has undergone tons of changes and fixes over the years to become the most accurate it can possibly be and I've done my best to keep my Last.fm profile clean as well by deleting incorrectly tagged bands, songs, and even when we lose the page war to another band, I may even change that (i.e. Wizard, Wizard).
     
    Anyway, it's a hobby. I'm looking forward to this project and I hope everyone else too has fun gathering up all of the information they can to compile a go-to site for visual kei information. It's going to be a long road.
