The Serpentina Satelite isnt working for me...at all, not one track

[Dante1847]

Serpentina Satelite was pure joy. Pretty interesting EP in that half of it is basically shredding psych rock (like the beast "Kommune") while the other half goes into the more space rock, ethereal side of things ("Nueva Ola"....which was REALLY good).

stasis, I see they put out a new album this year. how is it?

About the Christmas thing, I think you might as well skip a day or two for a Christmas break.

Stonewall puts out some very good bass in their album

Soul-Junk - 1955
Genre: Abstract Hip-Hop/Alternative Rock
Year: 1998

Oh god, just seeing those two genres side by side even makes me cringe and I already know that I enjoy the album.
Anyhow, Soul-Junk is a dude from avant-rock band Trumans Water and 1955 is his two and a half hour offering. Of course with that length it's not flawless (Most of the instrumentals are pretty dull), but there's some great stuff to be found here if you're in the right mood and can deal with bizarre Christian-themed lyrics.

All Men Are Grass

Machinist - Self Titled
Genre: Noisecore/Mathcore
Year: 2007

This band released 11 and a half minutes worth of absolute insanity and embarrassed 99% of their peers before calling it quits.

Recommended If You Like: The Dillinger Escape Plan, Botch, Gaza, Deadguy, Ed Gein, and Breather Resist.

Sorry, I can find no samples online.

EDIT: Keep in mind that megaupload links take about 24 hours to become active, which was probably the issue with Nothing To Say the other day. It should be fine now.

They look a bit naked without album covers, but I just updated the blog. RYM's images seem to be down for the moment, so I'll fix 'em later.

Eleven Pond - Bas Relief
Genre: Minimal Wave/New Wave
Year: 1986

Cold synths, cold drum machines, cold vocals... When the guitars show up they're cold and muted too.
It looks like this finally got a reissue last year. I haven't heard it yet, but the original is fantastic.

Recommended If You Like: New Order, Tubeway Army, Cold Cave, Fad Gadget, End Of Data, and The Associates.

Watching Trees
Portugal

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rank And File - Sundown
Genre: Roots Rock/Alt-Country
Year: 1982

Sundown plays like 70's punk record of it's time except with a chugging rhythm section, jangly guitars, and harmonized vocals.
If you remember the Nuns album I posted a while back you'll find these two bands share guitarists in addition to featuring two former members of The Dils.

Recommended If You Like: X's most roots-y songs with an extra helping of Gram Parsons.

Sample the first two songs on youtube.

I haven't kept up to date with the blog in a while, but I am really loving that Soul-Junk album.

[LegendofRock3021]

I have some catching up to do, but I adored the Fuehler, Scatter, and Time of Orchids albums.
