What are you listening to at the moment?

[Heith]

I'm listening to The Mission's "Wasteland". Great song, great album, old favourite.

[obnoxion]

Hall & Oates: "Out of Touch". I love 80's pop music.

[Nefastos]

Akira Yamaoka's Silent Hill soundtracks & Jean-Michel Jarre. (Like this and this.)

[Benemal]

I think Yamaoka was pobably influenced by Anenzephalia's classic masterpiece "Ephemeral Dawn" (1995). It's an unforgettable record, that I need to hear every few months. The darkest music in the world.
I like the new album from Planning for burial. It's the best hipstergaze I've heard in a long time. Third album from Pallbearer is good of course, but a little adult and professional, and less atmospheric. New band for me, Junius was a nice surprise. Epic alt-metal, that's sounds almost 90's. I deliberately filled my mp3 player with music from bands, because I'd been listening to so much techno, in the last five years, that I was becoming numb to it. There's still thirty technomixes and/or albums in the player at any moment. Here's some favourites, in case I'm not the only technohead: THNTS, Sonitus Eco, Hydrangea, Jamie McCue, Stephanie Sykes, Von Grall, Brendon Moeller, Refracted, Ontal, Ayarcana, Wanderwelle, Daniel Avery, Wata Igarashi, Ryogo Yamamori, Takaaki Itoh, Imugem Orihasam, Deepbass, Ness, The God's Planet, Svreca, Vril, Mike Wall, Dino Sabatini, Emanuele Pertoldi, Luigi Tozzi, Fabrizio Lapiana, Francesco Belfiore... Etc. There's too many to remember.
My favourite record from Jarre is "Zoolook". It has a strande sound, even though it's got 80's dance beats and was used in fashion shows.

[Silvaeon]

My listening is all over the place these days.

Lot's of Rome. Lot's of Canadian legends RUSH, aka the greatest band of all time. Also Thin Lizzy's 1976 Peel Session, so much power in this recording.

I've never been interested in much electronic music before, but the last few days I've lost myself in a haze of 70's Tangerine Dream, and a bunch of albums by Carbon Based Life Forms. I really like "the path" "world of sleepers" and "twentythree" - this is very pulsing and ethereal music which I find very calming right now. I would welcome more recommendations like this if anyone has them. Very conducive to meditation.

Been ages since I've listened to anything "post-rock" but it's sounding to me like Mogwai have aged very well, and I'm listening to a lot of their music as well.

Also some new black metal - the Abigor/Nightbringer/Thy Darkened Shade/Mortuus collaboration is phenomenal, and I think the new Inferno (Gnosis Kardias (Of Transcension and Involution) is really special.

Try Thom Brennan's "Mist" and whatever from Desiderii Marginis, maybe "The Ever Green Tree". For uplifting energies why not try Byron Metcalf (feat. Steve Roach)? "Shaman's Heart" is a great album, which never fails to clear my spirits.

[Casper]

New Ulver 'The Assassination of Julius Caesar', 'Devilry' by Funeral Mist, Leonard Cohen's last masterpiece 'You Want it Darker' and The Prodigy's 'The Fat of the Land.' That's right, I love music in all of it's glorious forms.

I've enjoyed all of these, especially Thom Brennan. Thank you.

[Otava]

Drunk at home, listening John Frusciante & sending a dummy to my God.

Well I spent the night in heaven
I’m central to nowhere, thinking of sweeping it clean
I wanted to figure it out for myself
We should be grateful to the gods
I value my placement as in Hell
As a man on cross I have no fear
See me freezing like the bum I am
One life begins, another dies
I won't last
There's a future that's calling
No, I don't see it coming

Armagedda - Helvetestoner
// constant repeat on this song, my taste of dark metal.

Silent Hill - Promise
// Always been in love with the atmosphere of the first 2 releases, truly symbolic games in many ways

Altar Of Plagues - When the Sun Drowns in the Ocean
// Something that goes very well with walks in the forest, dark and beautiful
