Here's a review of my 5 top favorite artists and albums right now.
Artist: Juno Reactor
Album: Shango
Why I like them: It is a mixture of traditional instrumentation combined with edgy electronic. It seems like every one of their songs should be in an action movie somewhere. Most of the tracks are upbeat with a decently fast tempo, and there is usually a good variety of different sounds in the same song.
Artist: Decoded Feedback
Album: Shockwave
Why I like them: I don't even know how to classify this band. These 2 guys started back in the late 80's, but have evolved into one of the more influential electro- industrial rock groups. Their music is alot of hard beats and distorted vocals. Good music when I want to kill something.
Artist: Massive Attack
Album: Mezzanine
Why I like them: The God of ambient, trip-hopish lounge pop. They combine amazing instrumentation and sweet vocals. The vocals are almost used more like another instrument that as standalone voices. This is the CD for just sitting back and hanging out. They layer their songs with so many different instruments, but never are they difficult to listen to. Most of the instruments are background or backup, so you don't notice alot of the sounds at first, although you would definitley be able to tell if they weren't there.
Artist: Thievery Corporation
Album: Richest Man in Babylon
Why I like them: This is my creative music. I put this on, stick my face in my headphones and just tune the world out. This is another group that loves to go crazy with amazing vocals. The beats have great variety between songs on the CD, but none of them are overly complex or are difficult to listen to for long periods. I've listened to this CD 3 times in a row straight through before.
Artist: Marilyn Manson
Album: Mechanical Animals
Why I like them: Because he's an angry asshole who loves to piss the world off. Especially those hard-core right wingers. The music is fast, almost violent at times and combined with a voice that goes from almost whispering to full out screaming instantaneously, the tracks are wild and makes it fun to be pissed off.
There. Those are some of the better bands and albums I'm currently listening to. They are not in any particular order, but every one of them is good.
