Harkov Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 A gift from me to you, these are two videos of Malice Mizer, one of the bands i'm a mahoosive fan of. Le Ciel is a bit choppy (both of these were taken from TV) and grainy, Gardenia is (In my own very humble opinion) a better song, it's excellent quality (apart from a couple of small glitches in colour) and Mana (the guy with blue hair - yes it is a 'he') looks hotter and you see more of him than in the Le Ciel video.https://s34.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=07C4SAH...IJ0OJ7ER5ZLRBYX Le Ciel video https://s7.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=33S08IMMIF3ZW1IJ0I89MBH32UGardenia Video This kind of music isn't to everyobody's taste, but go into it with an open mind, you might be suprised. edit:The files expired due to too many downloads or it got to seven days, I'll put them back up if anyone's intetested.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>I downloaded them when you first posted, just didn't reply to it. Not my cup of tea though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solitaire Posted June 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 No, I didn't think anyone would, they're rather too 'pop' for many peoples tastes (though I enjoy them immensely). I uploaded them because another site I go to is dedicated to Japanese bands and a few people asked for the videos and didn't see the point in wasting the amount of downloads that were available. This might be more up everyone's street (I hope)- this is rock (hard rock as far as i'm concerned, but maybe we all judge these things differently) Interestingly the guy who wrote this song (and all of the songs for this band, he plays lead guitar too) also wrote both of the tracks above, which were for his old band. https://s44.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2QBHN22...UM2DIFB5ORP5960 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falkor95 Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 EMI CD 552 911 2 = 20 tracks = when you're in love with a beautiful woman TOP TEN from the CD: (I just LOVE this CD at the mo) Congregration Softly whispering I love youCommodores EasyPeter Noone Oh you pretty thingElton John Rocket ManDon Mclean American PieRod Stewart You wear it wellStealers Wheel Stuck in the middle with youHot Chocolate EmmaPeter Skellern You're a ladySteve Harley & Cockney Rebel Come up and see me 'Softly whispering I love you' was successfully covered by Paul Young but nothing beats the original version by Congregation and this is the top number on this sensational 70s CD!! 'You wear it well' is one of Rod Stewart's best stock songs - the only one that beats it is 'Maggie May' 'Stuck in the middle with you,' I remember this so well on the radio clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right 'Emma' - a right slow and penetrating number this - what a voice our Errol has - too much!! 'Easy' - oh boy, have you seen these guys in their outfits? singing on stage? I asked the missus to get me a jacket like those guys wear but she's still saving up blinding performance and song, really love this 'Oh you pretty thing' a real classic and I love the part where "I look out my window and what do I see? A crack in the sky and a hand reaching down to me = all the nightmares came today" whooboy, love the lyrics on this - totally terrific BEST OF THE REST FROM THE CD Joe South Games People PlayThe Hollies The air that I breatheHurricane Smith Don't let it die :mad: a great CD, so many tracks that I just love from the 70s! ok - what's YOUR best compilation CD??

Gungadin Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 Speaking of music, does anybody know of any good Oi! bands? Seems to me that Oi in general is pretty damn rare, and good Oi even rarer. Shame what happened to Skrewdriver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Fox Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 I like John Broomhall most of all. His music has taught me a lot and has definitely changed my picture of music. I suppose most of you already know, but he's the composer in X-Com and Transport Tycoon. I never grow tired of the TT-tracks, and they fit so well into the game. Rob Hubbard is also worth mentioning. Jogeir LiljedahlMaktoneMobyRöyksoppKraftwerkTimbuktuCracktro's in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gungadin Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 No Oi! afficionados eh? Well, let's try something lighter then: Anybody know of any good Ska bands I could look into? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullAuto Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Ska? Try the Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sir-roosio Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 see this see this, this is me being really smug because I introduced FA to the SkaPara. If you're talking Ska you must mention the Skatalites. A seminal 'Old Skool'(theres no school like the old school) Jamaican Ska band who are still playing today, though no longer recording. It's estimated that they've played around 90% of ALL Jamaican tunes in there time together. However the Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra is my personal fave. If you havent heard them they play proper old skool ska cranked up to 130bpm. they are AMAZING and i need to see them live before I die. Recently discovered Robert Johnson, one of the original Delta Blues artists. You could google his name but most of the websites about him try to exagerate his career and end up sounding completely rubbish. all you need to know is this. . . He was the original bluesman to learn to play the guitar by selling his soul to the devil at a crossroads He recorded 42 tracks (of 29 songs) in total (all available on one double CD set, buy it now!) He was poisoned and killed by a barman for flirting with his wife when only aged 27 What more do you need to know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullAuto Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 This is me being really smug because I taught SR not to be such a great big poofter. There's always the Specials, Less Than Jake, Catch 22 and Reel Big Fish. Can't remember if they're all ska, but if they're not they're pretty close.

Gungadin Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 Thanks for the suggestions. I'll look into them. Still no Oi! though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullAuto Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 Only the Cockney Rejects and Sham 69. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gungadin Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 Never much cared for the Rejects and don't know Sham 69. I'll listen to them on Amazon or something. The best Oi! band remains Skrewdriver though. Shame they went nazi really. RontaldJen, andrejpopovtorevubre, Samellaborn and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uriaheep Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 I bumped into a band on the radio so to speak - I think they are Swedish but not sure. I have only heard one song of their but really liked the way they sound. They are called "The Electric Boys", anyone know more about them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silencer_pl Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 My personal best from FS is Triumph. It's just awesome when you plan and all things go according to it. And I bought the whole soundtrack with game. They were so happy enough to provide 3 formats - flac, mp3, wav. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
