Better than Mogwai....
Here is an incredible tune of their last proper studio album..
Mono - "Moonlight"
"..think you see through my mind."
What a track.....
I love it. Think Mogwai, Isis, NIN, Neurosis. A classic.....
They have no vocals.
Yep, ere is a little MP3 for you..
65 Days of Static - "A Failsafe"
Now, if you're new to this you might not know waht to do with the above MP3 link. Preferably, you can click on the little blue arrow next to the link and the music will start playing when the text next to arrow turns from "loading" to "playing". If you really want to download it then "Right Click and SAVE AS." if you're on a pC and do that thing you do on a Mac if you're on one.. A Mac that is..
Also, in case anybody doesn't like me making this MP3 available for download then I will remove it. Just leave a comment..
As for the song itself, well.. let's start with the band...... a mix of sampled electronica, programmed beats, wall-of-noise guitars and live beats. The above track is from their newest album from a few month back... Oh, and their name is actually written as "65daysofstatic". No gaps. They have no vocals. Most of the time.
Here is a quote form their page on Wikipedia..
"The band have repeatedly stated that they love playing live. Towards the end of 2005, in a mailout to subscribers of their newsletter, they said that they were "a little disappointed" only to have played 91 shows in that year. They have received critical acclaim from independent music websites, such as Drowned in Sound, for their live shows.."
Enjoy.

Oh yeah, and as this supposed to be an MP3 blog mostly, here's a bit of classic 80's..
Toto - "Africa"

Team Fluidity - Summer Video 2006
Yeah. This really is Cwmbran Town Centre. And these guys are pretty good at jumping off stuff..
ISIS- In Fiction Music Video
Completely classic track. Heavy, uplifiting, hypnotising, chilling, gives me fucking goosepimps..
The Highest Step
This video features the Pelican track 'GW' from Australasia as its soundtrack. The images in the video are a collage of footage from 1960 about Joseph Kittinger, a man who in that year took a giant helium balloon up to 102,800 feet and then jumped, setting records for highest ascent, highest jump, longest freefall and fastest fall.

"..eerily familiar."
".It's vintage and totally invigorating. The immediate Pink punk-slap isn't here, but where the former nails one hue and keeps running with it, I can imagine this new, deeper set keeping me cozy for years to come. It's already eerily familiar." Read on.
Nice review on Pitchfork.
The review discusses the track "Farewell" off the previous album "Pink" - how it compares with the new stuff. If you want to listen to Farewell then follow the below link and you can play and listen to it...
Streaming: Boris - "Farewell" (it is an incredible track - a massive, crunching "shoegaze" ballad)
Update: You can listen to some of the new Boris album on Sogou as well. Boris. (Try the longer MP3s nearer the top of page.

Laurie Anderson - O Superman
Wow... one of the most beautiful, haunting songs. Politically prescient too.
Boris 5.27.06 (Blackout)
It is the doomiest track I've heard since the Bradford Deathmetal all-dayer in the 1-in-12 in Bradoford in 1993. Get the vinyl or CD to hear the impact this track truly has..
Soilent Green
Truly, truly great metal, original. The vocals seem to have a loose flow. Technical, loose. Entombed guitar sound. So complex with such a groove.
Steven Wright - Stand Up (Funny Guy)
The best standup comedian.. The most deadpan too.. and the most surreal... and the shortest anecdotes...

Wow!!!!! What a classic. Noise rock for real.
And some Mono from the Shoegaze playlist on YouTube. I hate that term ( "Shoegaze") but it provides such a history on the internet. I remember when that term first started getting used. Now I'm showing my age!

For example, read about the new Boris album.
"..an album boiling over with gorgeous tension and easy release, of bluesy simmering and cerebral quietude."
Well written site. A competitor to Pitchfork or DiS for reviews of underground music. These sites all remind me of a magazine from the mid-80s called "Underground". It used to give away free tapes and vinyl. It had a graphic layout like a website - lots of different fonts and splash quotes.

Jesu - you can hear their whole new album "Conqueror" in streaming format here......
http://www.jesuconqueror.com/
Nice...... I bought the CD of this a few weeks ago. It's really starting to get it's teeth into me now. That's what Jesu tracks always do. The tempo is so slow.... the tracks get your attention over a period of months. Not seconds or minutes like most music.
The streaming audio is fantastic audio quality. If you've got your PC hooked up to a nice, fat hi-fi or sound system I strongly recommend visiting the above link if you'd like to hear music that is melodic, heavy and thoughtful. There's chords in there that are quite Loveless-era My Bloody Valentine. This music, somehow, though, is tremendously uplifting ( Track 3 - "Transfigure").
Buy it..

There are links to samples of all the tracks on the album. I can't be bothered to listen to it myself. I will when i'M IN THE MOOD.
How do I find an MP3 on tinternet?
MP3blog.ch feels more like a blog than 3hive which feels more like a database as it is so organized. Check it out!!! It has categories too - like "post-rock".

".air and more air.."
Air - "Once Upon a Time" via 3hive.
I haven't listened to it myself yet. That's the reason I set up this bloody blog in the first place. I would always be surfing the net in work, finding things that I wanted to check out when I got home - like awesome MP3 blogs such as 3hive (indie/noise/folk) or Lupatarkastaja (post-rock, death metal). I record the links onto my blog so I can check them out when I get home. That was the theory anyway. I found that people all around the world were reading my blog and recording links to my blog onto theirs. I'm sure there's technical terminology for what I'm on about but I prefer to use the words I know. It's become a bit of a beast. Although, it is a beast that I can control....mostly...

Here's a copy of the comment.
"Their new album ‘Cursed’ comes out MARCH 20 on FILE 13 records. The band features ex-members of Atombombpocketknife, 90 Day Men, and Milemarker.
‘Cursed’ contains instrumental dreamy landscapes, distorted bass, pulsating raw drum beats, thundering grand pianos/organs, and metallic guitars. I would recommend this for fans of Shellac, Boris, Tortoise, Don Cab."

"DAYDREAM NATION AND SPIDERLAND LIVE!
In August 2005, ATP introduced a new season in London called "Don't Look Back" inviting artists to present a retrospective of one of their works in its entirety. We kicked off the season with The Stooges performing Fun House from start to finish in one amazing show at the Hammersmith Apollo that saw grown men cry. The season finale was the inimitable Dirty Three (with special guest pianist, Nick Cave) performing the stunningly beautiful Ocean Songs at The Barbican.
Since then, we have seen seminal albums performed including Bandwagonesque by Teenage Fanclub who stirred up a melting crowd at The Forum, Tindersticks playing the exquisite Tindersticks II at The Barbican and Ennio Morricone proving why he is The Maestro as he lead 200 musicians through his classic film scores at the Hammersmith Apollo.
Don't Look Back Concerts is proud to announce the first dates for our 2007 season.

"When I first heard Daydream Nation - I thought 'what is this music...?' It was raw, abrasive and reminded me of the Stooges and the Velvets. But nothing else sounded quite like it and it quickly took over to become one of my favourite records ever! From the gatefold sleeve to the heavy vinyl this was a lush piece of art that you took home and cherished. This was a time when CDs were alien to the kids and a few years later Slint released Spiderland. In a way their masterpiece inspired me to start the Don't Look Back season. I would think "how do I get to see all of these songs live?" - I was obsessed. I would check the credits and even look at the run out grooves and long for them to play every last track live, so we are really honoured to kick off the season with these legendary albums and also continue the series with the faithful genius that is the House of Love performing their first LP they did for Creation."

Are they real??
"Japanese grunge/sludge/metal/noise/alt. rock.."
This is how they were described by one website...Never really had chance to check them out as was always slaving away at my desk. I have since quit my job. It was listening to this band that inspired me. To leave. They blew my mind. I had bought the double vinyl of the new album. Didn't listen to it for a while but just loved the artwork and the packaging first. Thick double LP, card sleeve, free "acid" prints. Are they real? I do not know. Are Boris real? I do not know.
It may have been more the fact that I was listening to them at extreme volume on my headphones in the middle of the night, clutching the sleeve, staring at the picture on the back that shows them looking at you with their eyes closed. I just kept turning the volume up. I felt no pain as it got louder. And louder. And a bit more. The bass was tickling my ears as the headphones seemed to shake like in a cartoon. I got as far as side one, I think, of the double album. Three tracks of in your face punk rock - it's the sound of being at the front of a gig and you're way too close to the speakers. The sound of a band with so much energy. It's a very distorted sound.
After the three fast tracks they just hit you with a very slow, super heavy track called Blackout. The effect is like being dressed in armour and hitting a concrete, car park wall every five seconds. It is so slow and so, so heavy.
You may not get the full effect of the music from checking out a couple of dodgy MP3s. Especially as you are so busy that you need some music that's not gonna challenge you too much. Here's another taster of Boris: this is not a full track but you get most of it. It's linked from their label site, Southern Lord.
Boris - "Pink" via Southern Records
I'm tired now, anyway. After listening to this record I couldn't listen to anything else in my collection. Everything else sounded over produced, clunky, QUIET and boring and unimaginative and predictable. Enjoy.
These tracks were originally linked on my basic MP3 blog Clik and Lissen.
