    downy is just on a whole different level to pretty much everyone else these days. Their first four albums were already really solid releases and more than enough to secure their place in the history of Japanese post-rock folklore, but their two albums post-return have cemented them as one of the best of all time in my books. They're completely on their own wavelength, and no matter how many times I relisten to their stuff it always seems to throw something new at me time and time again. I don't even care to try to rank their 6th compared to the 5th (or even the rest of their discography, to be honest), they're all consistently brilliant and this one is no exception.

     

    (not entirely sure where the 88kasyo/Ling comparisons come from but oh well :P)

    This sounds a lot different from how I remember them, but still pretty nice. Glad to see they're still around.

    That track was mixed by mergrim apparently, so that probably has a lot to do with it. Should be a nice release anyway; this band tends to make for good background music.

    ^ I largely felt the same way, except I wasn't even familiar with a couple of the artists. Not a bad shuffle by any means though.

     

    01. ハイスイノナサ - ある夜の呼吸
    02. piana - hide and seek
    03. school food punishment - turn
    04. 雅-miyavi- - 君にファンキーモンキーバイヴレーション
    05. DIR EN GREY - 滴る朦朧
    06. Hiromi Uehara - Move
    07. Spangle call Lilli line - nano
    08. The Ocean - Bathyalpelagic I: Impasses
    09. mouse on the keys - forgotten children
    10. Purity Ring - Cartographist

     

    Ended up having a similar sort of mix myself. I really like the majority of the artists but a lot of the songs themselves were ones that I tend to pay less attention to within their respective discographies. 3 and 7 being the exceptions.

    I listened to the rerecorded Shandy and found it rather decent. I liked the way the section from 1:10 - 2:06 was reinterpreted, not necessarily in the sense that I prefer it to the original but just in the sense that it was different and refreshing. I stopped listening to signal halfway through and I've already heard the acoustic version of unravel so I didn't even bother.

    I don't like to get too much into ranking or ordering bands, so I just listed them in alphanumeric order:

    * This is an awkward one because it really only applies to their output up to and including  i'mperfect . Their recent output has been awful.

    ** This will probably be replaced with siraph if that band keeps on going in the same vein as their first EP suggests. So far the band is essentially all of the better parts of sfp minus most of the worse parts.

    I freaking love this band, even though they've only been a recent discovery for me (been listening to them for about a year or so). Weirdly I don't really tend to listen to their complete albums so much as I do a few key songs that I love enough that I'd inject them directly into my veins if I could. Tracks like 苦苦★念仏, PALAMA･JIPANG, 霊界ヌ〜ボ〜♨, and a few others. That said though, I'd argue their 2014 is their strongest overall package. I didn't find their 2015 release as good despite it being the first that I listened to, but it still has some okay tracks. Hopefully they release something this year!

    I'm pretty sure that the song starting at 0:33 in the new preview video is the one that they played when I saw them back in February.  If the rest of the album is even half as good as that then we'll be in for a treat!

    Oh I thought this was a thread about laundry detergent lol

     

    I'll check them CAT, as you guys make them sound promising :)

    I made an introductory mix for them in this thread, if you're interested. It has songs from across their entire discography so it should give you a good idea of their overall sound.

    Dope. Fucking. Band.

     

    This is one of those few artists that I could genuinely gush over for hours if given the time. I'll admit that they're definitely not everybody's cup of tea but, goddamn, they do what they do so fucking well. Their sound, though it has developed over the years, has always felt to me like one of the few really genuine explorations of feelings like depression, displacement, awkwardness, and uncomfortably without coming across as melodramatic or over-the-top. I love the way their music often employs these constant repetitive phrases throughout the duration of a song, particularly when it comes to their percussion and basslines. Just... aaargh, even typing about them makes me wanted to scream like a fangirl at a One Direction concert.

     

    My favourte album would have to be 第五作品集『無題』, but all of them are extremely solid efforts. As for favourite songs, 春と修羅 has generally been my go-to answer even though there are a handful from pretty much all of their albums that I could include in a list like that.

    "Every month you send your favorite band member an amount of money. If you go low-end, it could be anywhere from [$200-400] a month. In these kinds of relationships, you get to maybe talk with the guy on the phone. The more expensive ones can go as high as [$1,000] a month. What you usually get with these are dates and sex. He will meet you, take you to Disneyland, bring you home, fuck you, and whisper how he loves you.

    Pshhhhhh. I've been sending YOSHIKI all of my student loan money each month for the last 3 years and all he did for me was promise me a catering role in that new Lady's X project.
