Just as the title says.  Blatant copy of the youtube thread.  I'm huge on music and have noticed a lot from others talking about bands and musicians/composers.  So...post what you're currently listening too! Even if it's video game music, post it!  Guess I'll get it started.

Listening to one of the new songs from a band called Cynic.   Cynic - Carbon-Based Anatomy

Also I've been on a Sega game music kick.  Here's one from my favorite Sega Arcade game.

I'm listening to the Drac X game CD.  Its halloween time so of course I must listen to it!

That Quartet song rocks!!  Downloading now....


Recently I got a bunch of Japanese darkwave/E.B.M./electro and have been listening to that.  I especially am loving Blood's last album, Lost Sky, the latest album from GPKism, along with the several-years-old debut from Sawdust in Me.  Here are samples:

Blood - "Lost Sky [Marlee Remix]"
GPKism - "Desiderium"
Sawdust in Me - "Tiny"
(can't find any good videos with their newer stuff, but this gives the idea)

I also put Final Fantasy 6 & Final Fantasy Mystic Quest on in the background while doing my hardware design homework earlier.

FF USA - "Mountain Range"
(Been one of my favourites since I was a kid.)

I have a MIDI version of Quartet on my ipod that I listen to frequently because it is awesome!

Castlevania music is great too.

I have been playing Drum Mania lately and really like the song "Black Out" by Be For U

Great topic Geise!! I've been listening to music from this hard rock band from Spain: Mago de Oz. They have a very unique and awesome sound. Many of their songs have violins and flutes playing alongside electric guitars, which is the case with my favorite of theirs:

Alma:
Other ones that I love are
Molinos de Viento:
Van a Rodar Cabezas (wicked violin solo at 3:13 :)):
Fiesta Pagana:

geise

Thanks Chany!  That band sounds amazing.  Sort of sounds like something out of an Ys game a little bit.  That's one more reason I started this thread.  We can help each other find awesome music!  I have a real open mind with music.  I listen to everything from metal, to classical, to Zappa and David Lee Roth haha.

Missed out on the one-night only Screeching Weasel show in Chicago, because no one wanted to go with me...  so I guess I'll just have to listen to it instead.

Don't feel bad bro.  I like Tears for Fears... but while on the subject (and NO PUN intended), I can't stop listening to Macho Man.

That sucks you missed Screeching Weasels, especially since it was a one time show.  I would've loved to see Naked Raygun Back in the day.  They were always one of my favorites in the 80's.

Gift of Gab has another one coming?!?  How'd I miss that?  Still haven't picked up J-lives or Freestyle Fellowships new one, but, that's what I'd be listening to right now if I did.  I did however listen to a friend whom I went to school with, hooked me up with a couple of cd's, his name is 3ize, pretty tight what I've heard so far(don't know the name of the album, it's just a cd with lips on it). 

edit-I think it's this album IMG

Today I've been in a Prog/Jazz/Fusion mood.  Rocked out my favorite album by Mats/Morgan band.  The keyboardist and Drummer played with Zappa when they were teenagers.  So, they have a pretty heavy Zappa influence in their music.
Keyboardist is Mats Oberg, Drummer is Morgan Agren, Jonas Knutson on crazy awesome Sax.  Haha I bet most will hate this stuff.  Thought I'd still share anyways.  Here's them live playing Pee Wee Ellis's song Chicken, but adding their own flare too it.

A_Locomotive

I'm listening to an ambient album by the artist SleepResearch_Facility. Its titled Nostromo and is based on the sounds from the first 8 minutes of the movie Alien and it is absolutely brilliant!

A little bit of Motorhead
Went to see them in concert the other night!

Sparky

back to listening to the Scott Pilgram soundtrack... a lot of good stuff there and a good driving tune... :)

I picked up Primus' most recent album last night (Amazon has it for $4 as a digital download: http://www.amazon.com/Green-Naugahyde/dp/B005IEF27O/ref=sr_shvl_album_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1320371560&sr=301-1) so I've been listening to that.  It's no Frizzle Fry or Sailing the Seas of Cheese (or even Pork Soda), but it's growing on me.  A couple of the tracks sound very similar to other stuff they've done on earlier studio records, but I'm digging it, all in all.  It's too bad Tim Alexander isn't drumming with them (again).

Sacrifice was one of the songs I used to intro in to my radio show back in college.  I love me some Motorhead.

The other two songs I used to kick off the show were:

Body Count - Street Lobotomy (Love this band...)
Andrew W.K. - It's Time to Party (This album just made college fun, and he's AWESOME to see live).
How many of you guys actually knew this song was about bukkake?

Finally..  RIP Flattus Maximus (Cory Smoot).  I make sure to see GWAR once a year, and this guy could really play.

geise

Yeah it sure as hell is sad to hear about Smoot.  I used to love seeing GWAR live.

rolfmao:  I love Primus and had no idea they had a new album out!  :shock:  I actually really liked Anti Pop.  The new one sounds decent, but it's hard to tell from those short sound clips on Amazon.  I totally agree on Frizzle Fry and Sailing the Seas of Cheese as their top albums.  I didn't care for Pork Soda much.  Thought it was a tad boring.  I will definitely check out their new one!  Thanks for sharing.

I didn't know that about Smoot.  Back in the late 90s my little brother and I would go see GWAR every chance we got.  They put on quite the memorable show!

geise: Did you ever listen to their follow-up to Anti-Pop "Animals Should Not Try to Act Like People"?  Their old drummer, Tim was back for that one (a 6-song EP), but I didn't care for it.  I think their music style at Pork Soda started to shift from a funky-thrashy sound to more of a long, laid-back psychedelic aural trip and, while some of it is neat, it never really gelled with me like their older stuff.

This new album is growing on me.  For $4 it's hard to go wrong, imo. ;)

Currently listening to Lebanese Blonde by Thievery Corporation.

I have been in a metal mood all day.  So I've been listening to Theory In Practice - Colonizing the Sun.  Very good technical death metal.

Probably pretty unpopular given the nature of the group here but some good 80's progressive synth rock

Genesis - Invisible Touch

Favorite songs are "The Brazilian" & "Domino"

I can't speak for the others, but I love Genesis.  One of my all time favorite live shows was seeing Peter Gabriel in '94.

Genesis is the tits.  I have tons of their songs in FLAC.  Btw, can we spell "to" correctly?  =)

I'm a huge fan of Peter Gabriel and Gabriel-era Genesis. I too enjoy the back side of Invisable Touch, but that album was kind of the death note for the band. People tend to be quite emotional about it.

It's kind of like Metalica's black album...although probably not that bad. Genesis went from a great prog rock band to a mediocre pop band. Metallica went from being so awesome and transformative that they were thought of as the future, possibly savior, of all metal to being...Satan's wet dream, spawning a million shitty NuRock bands that completely killed off anything like quality mainstream rock and roll.

Btw, today I'm listening to Lateef the Truthspeaker's first full length album. Why did this take so damned long to come about?

Nice.  I wish Mr. Bungle would get back together and put out another album.  All of their stuff is awesome.

In semi-Bungle related news, Faith No More has reunited and is currently playing shows in South America. Tonight they are playing the King for a Day album in its entirety, start to finish, in Chile.

I got my LE of Doomtree's No Kings. Its fucking bad to the bone, and getting pretty popular, for that kind of record anyway. The fans seem to love it and it got an A- on the AV Club. I think there is a new POS coming out early next year too, so fans of twin cities hiphop should be happy for a while.

Anyone interested in the massive heap of work that is the Doomtree collective can check some of it out at Doomtree.net. You can stream No Kings for free here: http://music.aol.com/new-releases-full-cds/spinner#/14

Also, Around the Well (Iron and Wine), FireWire (Lateef the Truthspeaker), and the unfortunately named Watch Me Fall (Jay Reatard).
