the best record of all time.

timeless classic

Welcome! Great taste.

@saishuu I absolutely FUCKING LOVE Sufjan Stevens. I discovered him while I was in my last year of high school, so, there's a really special place in my heart. Illinoise is easily one of the most beautiful records i've listened. John Wayne Gacy Jr really touchs me in a deep level. Since CAT cited THE NOVEMBERS, I remembered a few songs by them I really love.

Mono song are extremely powerful and cathartic for me, without even having a single word they put me in a very emotional mood. Especially the ones in " Hymns to the Immortal Wind." Ashes in the Snow and Follow the Map, as a example. And I seconded your thoughts on envy, Tetsuya screams are extremely emotinal in a way that I really can't remain indifferent to it. One specific song that touches me in a deep levell is "A Far-Off Reason" from the split with Yaphet Kotto and this Machine Kills. The building crescent intro just kills me. Not being the proper band themselves, but some FAKE? and Oblivion Dust songs are really beautiful. This'll sound cliche as hell but let me the first to say Dir en grey. Akuro no Oka, Zakuro, Hotarubi, Mushi, Undecided, Glass Skin, Namamekashiki, Ware, Yame Tote, Vanitas... is really redundant citing them but fuck. Merry's Gekisei, also. And outside of Japan there's Sigur Rós and Elliott Smith. EDIT: Kagerou really put me in a STRONG emotional mood for you all know the reasons ;/ And I forget Plastic Tree, really sweet and beautiful slow songs since the beginning. Spica, Yuki Hotaru, Harusaki Sentimetal, Aoi Tori, Kuuchuu Buranko, Hello, Sanatorium, Saishuu Densha...God damn, there's so many! But the most touching for me is Andro Metamorphose.

Sumerian records have a great rooster. And DIIV just released another new song: The record will only come out in February. ;| this song is awersome

Well, to be honest, I have been totally indifferent if the band I listen is VK or isn't since I started to listen to japanese music back in 06. I just like rock music, never really care how the band look like. I mean, I don't mind if is Sug or Boris, envy or Plastic tree and so on. I really don't make any kind of distinction in my musical taste at all. Not sure if this is what this topic is about, anyway.

@Bear I listened to Pneuma and I'm completely mind blown. Its fucking excellent. I would love to hear more recommendations for dynamic and experimental metal bands. Anyway, Intronaut just released another fucking great record:

this is easily one of the funniest things I saw on internet they're the guys from RTJ btw

I Loved "Visions" not sure about these new songs, but I'm excited anyway.

I'm glad to know we're from the same city. For your enthusiasm, there's even a shoegaze band from Fortaleza! http://maquinas.bandcamp.com/album/maquinas And anyway, back to the topic.... I wonder when DIIV is gonna release their new record, "Is there are" not yet announced a release date, their new song is pretty good: The first record by then, Oshin, is easy one of the best albums of the whole 2010s imo

My two favorite bands together. Excited for this

YAY! Bowie is great. My favorite Bowie album is probably "Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps)"

I'm not aware of anything they're released before Blue Miasma. These two songs got me definitely hooked up. Another US band with a great varity discography was Nachtmystium. Everything they did from Reign of the Malicious to The World We Left Behind is very good. IMO A Forest of Stars is from England and are very underappreciated as well. Beware The Swords You Cannot See was released this year.

Yes, I listen to pretty much anything involving Jef Whitehead. Also a big fan of Xasthur, Twilight, Krieg, and Blut Aus Nord. I like Deathspell Omega a lot, too. For those interested, noisey made a very cool documentary on the guy, also having Scott Conner of Xasthur and Russell Menzies of Striborg parts 2 and 3 on related videos

Wishing my improvements for Kaoru's right hand issues. He was definitely playing in a strange way in that Un Deux video.

EIEU MA OE e cearense D:

@saishuu If you're still in the mood, these are two of my favorites by them:

My personnal recomendation for BUCK-TICK is 2007's Tenshi no revolver. Their 2000s stuff tend to have a more easy-listening, acessible sound. 90s B-T tend do be more experimental. 80s is a good one, too. This is actually a song from 13kai wa gekkou cuz is one of them most popular songs and is really great indeed (and Sakurai is my favorite japanese vocalist of all time)

Brazilian shoegaze: Oh, man.I just discovered so many great artists in this topic. I wasn't aware of Hiatus Kaiyote and nothing from fitear1590's post. Thanks!

Welcome! B-T rules.

Local bands of my city. Old, but a classic one.

What can I say about the subject? I'm cancer, so...

Só o Brasil produz essas pérolas.
