That tiny room at the beach was absolutely the perfect place for my first time. When we came together, I could feel the hairs growing on my chest. I saw my future. I saw my past. 

For a few minutes it was like being alive. They lived happily ever after. All my questions had been answered. All my fears disappeared. All that was left was a kiss. Every move we made was a kiss.

Ok, I'm jealous of sharing this with you. This is a ultra rare release that I can't even remember where I got it. It's the real cassete rip of a unreleased album. Still, it's one of my favorite albums ever. The album ambient is dark, low ending music with lots of dark textures and black-and-white feeling, low-frequency background and a nice Boards of Canada feeling.

Tip: listen to Sir Pracelot Brainfire in the morning!

Hope you enjoy it.

Let me have a try to change your day. Download this album, close your eye, put in the first track and let it go. Forget your bad feelings, your pending to-dos, your worries, and let it all go. Let the ocean take it. Let the wind blow you away today, open your window and see how wonderful the world is. Look at it carefully.

Maybe this will change your day.

Ripped from pure FLAC into MP3 320kbps.

In 1979, Jürgen Müller, a self-taught amateur musician studying oceanic science at the University of Kiel, travelled with a film crew to document a mission testing sea-water toxicity a few kilometres offshore in the North Sea. As ever, necessity was the mother of invention, and the experience proved so memorable that he was impelled to create a soundtrack to the footage and his own recollections using some electronic equipment borrowed from friends and a local school.

A wonderful album full of fragile beauty and a delicate sense of melancholy and longing. Liz Harris has a rare talent for evoking these emotions in the most vaporous, subtle way, without ever gliding into dull and obvious territory. Next to her timeless classic "Cover the windows and the walls", this is her most accomplished and heartfelt work. A must for all those who relish peaceful solitude and introspective, emotive journeys.

Boards of Canada - Geogaddi [MP3][320]

A masterpiece. No doubts. That's all I have to say of this album. This was the first album I heard of Boards of Canada and it just changed my concept of music in a whole. I started paying attention to each detail on every music I heard after it. I recommend you listen to it at once, the full album.

Recommendations:

• Music is Math
• Sunshine Recorder
• A is to B is to C
• Dawn Chorus
• You Could Feel the Sky

Let's Face it, BoC with each release leave that style behind for an updated one, and in this case with 'Geogaddi' they have gotten a little more abstract and experimental. Sure they still have there glitched out beats with there non-organic samples of little childeren and nature documentaries, but they are are a different BoC and the fact that they have challenged themselves to step outside There Own Box, i think with a little time this one will grow on us...like Chemical Brothers and Underworld albums we always seem to nitpick them and state that there previous album was better, well what makes good artists is there constant change and evolution. Geogaddi has plenty of there 'Beaty' and tracks with lots of disturbed and meloncholy melodies such as 'Music is Math' and '1969', but now they have a lot more of this strange ambient sound mixed with an anxious yet different IDM sound 'Gyroscope'--'The Beach At Redpoint'--'You Could Feel The Sky' and 'Alpha and Omega', which was unexpected. 

I truly enjoy this album and I give props out to BoC for not letting the fans get to their heads and redoing a second version of MHtRtC.

Another album that changed my life. When I was a teen I listened heavily to this album, Pink Floyd and some other psychedelic bands. Worth every track.

MP3 ripped from pure FLAC.

Tom Scholz started off jamming in a makeshift band that included drummer Jim Masdea, lead guitarist Barry Goudreau, and vocalist Brad Delp. Unsatisfied with the live sound, the perfectionist Scholz disbanded the act and instead made demos in his home studio with Delp on vocals and Masdea on drums. The demos eventually attracted the attention of Epic Records.

Scholz was satisfied with the demos to the point that he wanted to finalize them to a real album. Unfortunately, Epic declined. "The material had to be recorded in a 'professional' studio in exactly the same way!" Scholz later wrote. Scholz insisted on doing the re-cuts in his basement. Epic producer John Boylan, who had worked with the Little River Band among many others, made a deal with Scholz. Boylan would have the rest of the makeshift band record some studio arrangements in Los Angeles, to "create a diversion" while Scholz made his multitrack recordings at home.

Most of the instrumentation was performed by Scholz and recorded at his basement studio in Massachusetts, After Scholz recorded the instrumentation the tracks were then transferred from his 12 track tapes to a 24 track machine in a remote recording truck outside his basement studio to make them compatible with standard professional studio equipment. Delp's vocals were then recorded at Capitol Studios in Hollywood with producer Boylan. The album was then mixed by Scholz, Boylan and Warren Dewey at Westlake Audio in Los Angeles.

Drummer Sib Hashian plays on all but "Rock & Roll Band", and only two tracks feature the contributions of Goudreau and Fran Sheehan, "Foreplay/Long Time" and "Let Me Take You Home Tonight". This quintet would perform and tour under the name Boston.

Amesoeurs - Amesoeurs [MP3][320]

Amesoeurs

Label: Beneath Grey Skies

Format: 2 Vinyls, LP

Country: Germany

Released: 2009

Genre: Rock

Style: Post-Punk, New Wave, Shoegaze, Black Metal

I can understand that some people could be turned off by the jarred, sudden switches to noisier moods and harsh vocals. This won't do for everyone. Post-punk crowd will get turned off by the harsher songs and the black metal fans will probably get annoyed at the female-sung parts.

But I like to consider myself open-minded (some will say "poseur" but I could care less) and I did have to let this one sink in a few times but it's grown on me and I really like it. I would definitely add "avant-garde" to the genres. The band does do something that's never been done before and that no one else does. Either way, I love this.
