Out Of Sight - Silence Speaks The Words Unspoken (2011)

Hi folks, I'm back to present a record that I have been listening to a lot over the last few weeks. This record is called Silence speaks the words unspoken and is the second release by Out Of Sight, a one man band from Germany.

Usually, I'm not into Post Rock that much, because it is, in my opinion, all build-up and no pay-off. And a lot of that statement is true for this record, but the songs have a certain quality to them I cannot quite describe using my fairly limited vocabulary. I guess I could say that all five songs seem to be alive with so much beauty, but that would be cheesy, wouldn't it? I could say, that there are so many great melodies in those songs, which I tend to miss in other Post Rock songs. Or maybe, I could argue that I find this special blend of Metal and Post Rock to be very intriguing.

The fact is, that for most people, this record would be just another collection of Post Rock songs. For me, it is a lot more: for me, this is a collection of great songs and I do not want to put a lable on them, assigning them to a certain genre. This record contains 35 minutes of very beautiful music, it's as simple as that. 35 minutes of pure emotions which put a smile on my face every time.

Genre: Metal, Ambient, Post Rock, Shoegaze

The Echelon Effect - Seasons (EP Part 1/4) (2011)

Quote: "Hello Everybody from sunny London! First off the new music, here you go, (its name your own price), you should be able to buy straight from this email.

The beautiful cover is a photo from Olya Dzhgyr, who won the competition for spring

I thought i'd better show you guys what all the scheming over the last few months has been about. Again many late nights and cold beers has been "utilised" in making this Ep (this is the the first of 4 ending with a film at the end of the year).

It's truly feels great to get Seasons up and running, it feels like forever since i came up with the concept. If anybody doesn't know, I'm documenting 2011 in film, not by concentrating on global occurrences but more along the lines of seeing pretty things that catch my eye throughout the year. Think of it as a budget Heima ;)

Filming is going great, its a lot of fun and im learning loads, its so much harder than i thought.

Anyway, hope you enjoy the music. Feel free to come say hello on one of the many social sites you can find me on. Also say hello by email (info@theecheloneffect.com). Use this email for licensing queries as well,

See you for Part 2 in the summer

Taiga Blues - Ausklang (2009) & A Minor Shunt Of Common Sense (2009)

Today, I'm going to present to you two fantastic little EPs recorded by Taiga Blues from Glasgow, Scotland. What began as a side project is now a thriving project, that helps making ideas and songs come to life that would not be able to be concieved in recording sessions with Carstens other project. A very experimental mix of electronica, jazz and post-rock, that's just what I need for these first summer days. Carsten Mandt, Tim Craig and Michael Gallagher just know how to compose and play smooth, relaxed songs that lighten your mood and make you smile.

I don't want to tell you too much about the music, because that might spoil the surprise. I can only urge you guys to listen to that stuff, it is definitely Grade A material. Two thumbs up for these guys from Glasgow!

Quote: "The Freak & The Protocol is a musical project that tries to use historic or classic speeches with some 'electronic post rock". As I used some of Gandhi's, Martin Luther King's, The Dalai Lama etc. speeches, I feel like I just can't make the people pay for such wise words."

Our Ceasing Voice - Passenger Killed in Hit and Run (Single) (2010)

Kein besonders erfreulicher Titel, den sich Our Ceasing Voice zu ihrem neuesten Werk ausgedacht haben: Ein tödlicher Unfall mit Fahrerflucht. Einerseits etwas, das man regelmäßig und relativ teilnahmslos in der Zeitung liest, andererseits etwas, das einen – wenn jemand im eigenen Umfeld betroffen ist – verzweifelt, traurig und wahnsinnig wütend macht. „Wie kann irgendjemand in so einem Fall einfach weiterfahren und nicht die Verantwortung tragen?“, „Warum kreuzen sich gerade die Wege dieser Menschen zu diesem Zeitpunkt so unglücklich?“

Our Ceasing Voice geben nicht unbedingt Antworten, sie sorgen dafür aber für zwei Dinge:

Das erste ist die Schaffung einer unheimlich dichten Atmosphäre, einer bedrohlichen Aura, in der das bevorstehende Unglück bereits nebelartig alles durchdringt. Diese kann man spüren und der Wunsch irgendetwas zu tun um das Unglück zu verhindern steigt proportional zu dem Bewusstsein des Unvermeidlichen und der damit einhergehenden Resignation.

Dieser Aspekt allein würde den Ohrenzeugen des tödlichen Unfalls wahrscheinlich schon lange bevor irgendetwas passiert ist deprimiert und ohnmächtig zurücksinken lassen – doch dabei belassen es Our Ceasing Voice keineswegs.

Das zweite was die Band im Kopf des Hörers entstehen lässt sind Fragen. Und dieses Hinterfragen der Gründe, der Rechtfertigung, des Schicksals führt dazu, dass man sich gegen das Unvermeidliche auflehnen will, dass man aufstehen, aufschreien und empört die Faust heben möchte. Mit der zunehmenden musikalischen Intensität gerät auch die innere Gemütslage in Bewegung und ein Durcheinander an sich überschlagenden und überbordenden Gefühlen droht einen zu Zerreißen…

… und genau in diesem Moment erlöst einen die Band durch den ruhigen Schlussteil. Natürlich löst sich die Spannung in der Luft nicht sofort auf, es wird jedoch trotzdem klargestellt, dass das Unglück passiert ist, dass es keinen Sinn macht noch länger dagegen ankämpfen zu wollen. In diesem Zustand der Annahme, des Eingeständnisses des Geschehenen entlässt Our Ceasing Voice den Zuhörer. Unverletzt und trotzdem innerlich nicht unversehrt, voller Fragen und fast gänzlich hilflos.

Musikalisch betrachtet leistet die Band erneut Großes: Neben dem gewohnt tollen und vielseitigen Einsatz der Gitarren machen sich vor allem die neuen Elemente, wie das Klavier und das abwechslungsreiche und ausgefeilte Schlagzeugspiel von Markus bemerkbar. Der aktuelle Sound der Band ist auf alle Fälle eine ganze Entwicklungsstufe weiter und um viele Facetten reicher. Auf das kommende Album darf man also wahrlich gespannt sein!

Tigertronic - Potomac Winter Sessions EP (2010)

Quote:"He used to be a good man. He believed that people were inherently good. His resolve had slowly chipped away, day by day, week by week, year by year, until one day he found himself filled with the spite that he was so desperately fighting. Beware the thing that you fight, that you do not become what you are fighting. With bitterness on one side, and naivete on the other, a tightrope emerged. Balance. "

Strange Glue and the Post-Rock Underground Vol. 3 (Compilation) (2010)

"As the new decade begins we all set off on ambitious missions to achieve, succeed and explore. For some people they do so by working hard, for others they get their travelling boots on and for those reading, it's probably portrayed as a quest for new music.

If you are from the latter group then here's us getting the ball rolling, a compilation of the finest Post-Rock music around. A scientifically-proven mix of awe-inspiring tracks from both established and fledgling bands. Eight tracks of new, rare or unreleased material to tickle your fancy, tickle your auditory canal and to tick all your boxes with incendiary sonic explosions.

There is of course a catch, much like your local drug-dealer, we give away the first hit free-of-charge in the knowledge that you'll keep coming back for more at slightly raised prices. This is what is called 'the music industry', so blow the moths from your wallet or purse and start purchasing some albums by these fine bands. Before that though, you can either stream the individual tracks from this comp below or use the 'download album' image to do just that (in .zip container format).

You can also still download our previous samplers free of charge which are all as equally spectacular, just follow the links below to be enlightened..." - Strange Glue Magazine.

Tracklist:
1.) The American Dollar - 'Landing'
2.) Pg.lost - 'Crystalline'
3.) Collapse Under The Empire - 'Crawling'
4.) Pelican - 'Strung Up From The Sky'
5.) The End Of The Ocean - 'Setting Sail'
6.) Analog Sound - 'Потеряно в переводе'
7.) Microfilm - 'State & Island'
8.) Eimog - 'Saved By Thirteen'

Musicboxx.com - Protest Sampler (2009)

Die Gründe für den Sampler

Manchmal gibt es Tage an denen einfach mal angesagt ist daß einem der Kragen platzt. Da wird einem klar, daß man mit einem kostenlosen Angebot das man bietet, recht hilflos ist wenn Inhalte einfach kommerziell genutzt werden obwohl sie eigentlich für umme sind!

So bietet z.B eine Mp3-Suchmaschine die Musik zum Download an! So weit ist dagegen ja auch nichts einzuwenden! So lange das alles auch für lau bleibt. Die Möglichkeit bestand ja auch das Zeug kostenlos auf die Festplatte zu bannen!

Aber mir schwoll gehörig der Kamm als es ebenfalls die Möglichkeit gab die Songs als Klingelton aufs Handy zu laden! Kostenlos? Kostenlos hätte es ja auch ruhig sein dürfen. Aber die Weiterleitung auf ein kostenpflichtiges Klingeltonabo mit einem unverschämten Preis von fast 9 € in der Woche? Und die Künstler sehen keinen Cent von dem Geld! Da war Endstation für meine Toleranz!

Nun ist der musixxbox.com Protestsampler fertig!
Spendet an den Verein der Musikpiraten um auf die Situation aufmerksam zu machen, und um ein Zeichen zu setzen!
Wir wollen uns wehren!
Mit noch mehr freier Musik für Umme!
Also spendet!

Unterstützt uns!
Verteilt den Sampler über alle Kanäle. Sei es der Torrent, E-Mule oder eure Hompage. Versendet e-mails an alle Eure Freunde und Bekannten mit der Bitte diesen Sampler weiter zu verteilen und gegen den Missbrauch von freier Musik zu spenden!

Mit den besten Grüssen
