It’s too early in the day for vaporwave! — Jamal

I am alone in my room studying law because I have an exam tomorrow. Vaporwave gives me a relax mood! I am in the perfect environment to listen it!

:cool:

After first hearing the album Aethiopes by rapper Billy Woods a few days ago, I've listened to its tracks multiple times and will continue to do so.
Lyrics are inspired and impose depressive, murky landscapes to convey weighty visuals and abstract mind states; words are delivered with intrepid surety.
Instrumentals are homogenous and dignified. An amalgamation of vintage, perhaps Medieval, sounds.
The album title is an Ancient European term for African people.
The album cover is a tinted portion of the painting Two Moors by Rembrandt.

"Asleep at the wheel
Gently over the guardrail, flipped heads or tails
One died, she survived
Asked why, replied, "God's not real"
Ducked the question
In a hospital room full of flowers, I plucked the best one
In a world full of cowards, it's bound to be tension"

- Christine (featuring Mike Ladd) written by Billy Woods and Preservation

Depeche Mode - Wrong (Official Video)

I find Depeche Mode to be a wonderful band. The whole era of electric eighties, including some of the darker stuff is loved by many. I also like Marc Almond so much. However, I am not able to link to You Tube on my phone and spend so much time playing discs in full. I even like Duran Duran, who are often viewed as a boy band, but some of it like, 'Seven and the Ragged Tiger' album goes beyond pop.

Good to know. I never really listened to this or them before.
I just wanted a song that screamed out ''Wrong!''
I guess it comes from a place of anger...rather than sweetness and light :wink:

Depeche Mode are a great catharsis for anger and I recommend the album 'Violator'. For anger, especially about the state of the world, I recommend one of my favourite albums by 'Mindbomb' by The The.

Jeff Beck.

My favorite cathartic angry music is probably Nine Inch Nails.

I do like the Nine Inch Nails, especially 'The Downward Spiral', and a lot of goth as catharsis, but mainly for melancholy moments. I really like the Jesus and Mary Chain's 'Darklands'. One band who I find invigorating are the Mission and I do like some punk for coping with anger. I do find some more recent stuff too, like 'Brutalism'

Just found this fabulous remake of the Santana classic Oye Como Vas. Full screen and volume up! (And that site that is behind these 'global remakes', Playing for Change, has many astounding things on it.)

You seem to have a broad knowledge of British music. What do you think of 'Black Grape'?

Pleasant enough aye

I have heard a little of Black Grape and quite liked it, but not as much as Shaun Rider's Happy Mondays'. As far as knowing British music, I am in the process of moving and keep digging out music from so many obscure bands in England and some in America. I adore The Stone Roses, The Stranglers and The Psychedelic Furs, and some current ones. I even wonder if it such music captures insights which are beyond the scope of the logic of philosophy and my line-up for tonight includes The Charlatans, Caz Coombes of Supergrass, The Cure, The Fall and possibly The Artic Monkeys...

Discovered the Mountain Goats recently thanks to a friend sending along “No Children” and “You Were Cool.” Good find.

My favorite from that album is Guinnivere:


It still feels like travelling from one place to another.
