I don't think you have the luxury of posting the entire album up and asking for contributions (cf. NIN, Radiohead etc.) and note most listeners think MySpace bitrates are fine. How about a megamix? ;)Afronthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03910119814591443719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5137921139872983132.post-44227755403870094472008-04-26T15:43:00.000+01:002008-04-26T15:43:00.000+01:00hi Matt & Sarah, i discovered a group yesterday ca...hi Matt & Sarah, <BR/><BR/>i discovered a group yesterday called 'M83'. their song 'graveyard girl' sounds like it belongs on just about any John Hughes film soundtrack from the '80s - check it out, you might like it. the music sounds a bit more simple minds/psychedelic firs than pure electro, but it certainly has enough electro elements to give it that '80s flavor. <BR/><BR/>cheers, <BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>TadTadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00941877800379933601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5137921139872983132.post-39525291224412642412008-04-26T14:39:00.000+01:002008-04-26T14:39:00.000+01:00Just listened to The Whip, "Fire" is good, it's be...Just listened to The Whip, "Fire" is good, it's being used on an advert for some US TV drama starring Monica from Friends.<BR/><BR/>You might like "Shiny Toy Guns" - "We Are Pilots" album (missed them off my live list too). A mix of nu-new wave rock and synth pop ("Starts With One" slightly Question of Time like) and octave bass line synth pop ("Don't Cry Out") and "Le Disko" punky-synth disco but with a dreamy Dollar type middle section. <BR/>Ends with a tear jerking Steps- with-a brain synth ballad "We Are Pilots." <BR/>See this review -<BR/>http://www.popjustice.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1001&Itemid=284<BR/><BR/>As for the internet, I wouldn't have discovered Shiny Toy Guns, The Birthday Massacre, Covenant or yourselves without it.<BR/>Then again my rate of making tracks wouldn't have fallen from 12 a year to 3 a year either!! <BR/><BR/>As for putting entire albums on My Space, I think leaving a few off does make it a more exciting so there are still some suprises waiting for you when the whole album is released.<BR/> <BR/>I listened to the Ladytron album on My Space today, but by putting the whole thing up made me skip through it at top speed as I had other things to do, so I only really picked up on a few stand out tracks. I'm not sure if this good way of evaluating an entire non pop album.co-ordinationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06819841845958082409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5137921139872983132.post-12355187074068261172008-04-25T13:44:00.000+01:002008-04-25T13:44:00.000+01:00YES YES Loving a bit of the ol' Whip action. This...YES YES Loving a bit of the ol' Whip action. This is one of my must-buy albums of the moment. Really edgy, catchy, intelligent tunes. I urge you to check them out, if you haven't already.<BR/>Sarah xSarahNKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09014175883654841485noreply@blogger.com
