The Cranberries - Linger (Acoustic version).

SNOW WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #77 on:** October 01, 2017, 08:57:47 PM »

Why would I have to tell you about that version? It existed since 1995.

Grefter · « **Reply #78 on:** October 02, 2017, 03:54:31 AM »

Not this version specifically, also a whole damned album of Acoustic Cranberries should also have been high on on your Greftdar.

Edit - there was probably a joke about the lyrics there as well.

Andra Day - Strange Fruit (cover): https://lynchinginamerica.eji.org/strangefruit <- came across it on FB.
FWIW, no one stresses enough how this song was an interracial collab between a Jewish person and a Black person.

Dear god, that album was released before To The Faithful Departed, Gref, I just assumed you had known. Like, I watched the Unplugged when I was -17-.

This hit in March 2017, if these are 20 year old recordings with a few new tracks in there then some deserves an award for their mixing job remastering everything so consistently.

Edit oh and it isn't that it is acoustic versions that has me excited per se, it is just how much more room they give the vocals in these recordings and how clean and clear the delivery is. It doesn't change the songs much, but shifts everything into a unified and very adult contemporary feel (which might not be for everyone? But that is the mood that I listen to Cranberries in). You keep the instrumentation and songwriting of the originals but stepping back from the Rock part lets me stick around for what I got in Cranberries for which was the vocal performance.

Oh, they did a SECOND acoustic album? Yeah, that flew under my radar. I thought you were talking about the ages-old Cranberries Unplugged, which is pretty cleanly the Dolores vocal show.

Grefter · « **Reply #83 on:** October 03, 2017, 01:02:48 AM »

Well yeah I recommend then if you didn't catch it! It is with the Irish Chamber Orchestra, so its lush AF with a whole string section.

Beauty and the Beast (new movie) - Gaston

Leonard Cohen - Steer Your Way

holy shit this album is good

Forecast from the Transistor OST.

When you think about it, is it functionally impossible to tell apart a copy of Transistor and El Cid's brain?

I'll let you know whenever I actually play it.

Yellow Days - So Terrified of Your Own Mind

Holy shit. George van den Broek is only 18 and this is by far the best male voice I've encountered in years.

Nioh OST: White Tiger

Came upon the soundtrack through random Youtube linkage while working on something over the weekend. Definitely getting some "Okay, maybe I should play this" vibes here. Good boss themes are really all you need for that, you know.

Lorde - Yellow Flicker Beat.

Still on a hypothetical "Tunes to light molotovs to" playlist.

Grefter · « **Reply #93 on:** October 20, 2017, 07:59:27 AM »

YouTube app is being shit on my way home so had to listen to other things than mc tunes.

RAtM - Bombtrack.

Continuing to evolve into my soundtrack to 2017.

Perturbator: Tainted Empire

New album. It's disappointing. This is an EP, which is probably suggestive after three LPs: this is likely an artist filling time while he figures out what to do next (it's pretty easy in retrospect to see The Uncanny Valley being the end of a period of creative development). There's little adherence to distinctly recognizable song structure in these tracks, I.E. rarely a repeated and identifiable melodic or harmonic motif, which almost always means an artist is losing my attention, because the net result is that it's hard to tell one song from another (other than that one has vocals, and that the lyrics are fucked up even by Perturbator standards).

Oh well. Better luck next time.

Tove Lo - Blue Lips. Whole album is damn good and has delayed my will to rip and listen to other albums I bought same day. We know Disco Tits we dug, but it holds up without the muppet sex video. Don't Ask Dont Tell is another stand out. Whole thing is a nice cohesive album.
