Dirtwire / Dirtwire (2012)

This one is a travel.

Ok, imagine Marco Polo, going to orient and, after that, travel to America with Cristoforo Colombo. Then, they settle here and, after 500 years, they meet all kind of bluesmen and the best producer of boom-bappest hip hop beats.

They hear that this thing work, and they decide to call themselves Dirtwire, and make an album. That's how I see this band.

All kinds of ethnical sounds get moved by very strong, net, drums and percussion, giving them a great groove  that doesn't get your body and ears bored, a well mix of hip hop and african rhytms. Togheter with that, while bass and guitar create a solid base, violin and harmonica brings you from classical sounds to killer blues solos.

Then the travel ends, and all you can do is press again "Play" and

Listen.

You can get ticket for this travel for free. Enjoy.

Les Chats Persans OST / 2009

Back. Is so hard to find new music. So, here's something old. hehe.

Well, you know, I love OSTs. But this isn't a simple OST.

First of all, you must watch this movie, really.

Second, this isn't a simple OST because the movie is about the underground Iranian underground rock scene, so you will actually see in the scenes the real authors of these songs playing them. And they're all great. Going from electro-indie sounds with english lyrics, to persian rap, torugh acoustic songs, this album really covers a very interesting reality.

YAMANTAKA // SONIC TITAN / YT​/​/​ST (2011)

I'm back. Sorry for all this time passed with nothing. I was listening. Maybe I have to change the title of the blog. "Every day" isn't true. Sorry :D

At least, in these days I've found new and new-old thing to post.

One of the new-new things is this album.

I wasn't so sure to post this, because, after a first listen, it generated anxiety in me. A lot of it. So, I was ready to erase it from my pc, when I listened to it for the second time.

You may say "why you downloaded it if, after a first web-listening, you didn't like it? Only for being more a music pirate?". Well, no. I've done it because I tought the idea was great.

YAMANTAKA // SONIC TITAN are a collective, so lots of people, trying to mix oriental sounds with rock, metal and a lot of "western" sounds, using instruments and electronics.

Well, this is interesting.

Then came the second listening. The dreamy atmospheres of these sounds from the east (mainly coming from the voice), that I found annoying after a while, get back on the earth with distorted guitars and drums like we use to play it in the west. THANK YOU.

Oh, also the cover is GREAT.

Believe me, this is interesting. Make your move.

Listen.
