Emo and emotional hardcore?(I've looked into a couple of the emo recs from awhile back but I don't think I looked at any of the specific emotional hardcore groups that you mentioned refer to theirselves as that).

i suppose emotional hardcore is typically used to describe bands that still sounded like more of a straightforward hardcore band, but with more emotionally-charged lyrics and sound.

though the lines are thin, if not transparent, between a lot of those bands...
i remember a lot of people referred to ebullition records bands like torches to rome, end of the line, and downcast as shining examples of emotional hardcore that doesn't fit so well into the emo sound.

Ah, I figured it might have been but I guess not. I'm going to try getting on soulseek now, name is Amo Fatum.

This sounds like the most perfect thing ever, definitely grabbing it.

I dig the Chokebore stuff particularly Smaller Steps although it had an odd cut off at 2:!1 for me.

i'm pretty sure i remember the cut you're talking about and that's just how it is on the album.

My favorite of your recent recommendations is the Drums & Tuba album. Really enjoying that one.

Ah, I was just checking since I thought it was an odd place to cut, otherwise it's my favourite song on there.

Zero Kama - The Secret Eye Of L.A.Y.L.A.H.
Genre: Dark Ambient/Ritual Ambient
Year: 1984

"All instruments to be heard on this album were exclusively made from human bones and skulls by the hand of Zero Kama. They never have been used since the time of its recording, which took place at the Secret Temple of Laylah from 5th to 28th of May 1984 .
Remixed at Psychonaut Studio Vienna in November 1987, and dedicated to the symbol of Laylah, meaning night and death, as well as to its numerical equivalent, Oz, a goat or unrestrained sexual force of creation, thus showing the identity of the basic two opposite forces in this generous universe of beauty and strength, in which the Lovers my find ecstasy in Pan. Who wishes to enter this world of darkness, in which the Great Goat dwelleth, may pass through the sigil of Oz given at the front of this Cover.”

i seem to remember having an argument with some boobs here about whether or not a tuba could suffice as a bass substitute.
