October 13, 200817 yr Author It is suposed to sound like a way of tortute they used in China hundred years ago. I can't wait to hear it, of course. "Leng Tch'e" (hundred pieces) was an old Chinese torture ritual where the victim was pumped with opium to prolong his life while he was slowly dismembered. Picture such a dungeon in the Ninth layer of Hell, now imagine its soundtrack. This is one of my favorite John Zorn compositions by far. Of all Naked City songs, this is the most violent and painful, but disturbingly pleasurable like some dark fantasy. A horrible antipodal rapture and agony, it is breathtakingly simple -- a continuous build-up starting on roaring guitar feedback and gradually adding drums, and Yamatsuka Eye's tormented vocals, and finally Zorn's screaming sax, climaxing at a place very different from their starting point and yet constant in its agony. Musically stunning, minimal and gripping, _Leng Tch'e_ is music that seems to play itself, inevitably pouring from a crack in the wall of reality. Eye and drummer Joey Baron are absolutely amazing here, adding so much to the intensity of the music. Signature by Maurice SendakWhen the stars make you drool just like a pasta fazool, that's amore!
October 13, 200817 yr How2PK - Is that cover an alternate cover, it's just I was looking this up on Wikipedia out of curiosity and they have a 'slightly' more gruesome image for that album...

October 13, 200817 yr Author How2PK - Is that cover an alternate cover, it's just I was looking this up on Wikipedia out of curiosity and they have a 'slightly' more gruesome image for that album... Yea, this is a cover of the boxset. They had to remove the original picture out of stores because of Anti Asian material or something. hehe. The old coverart is on the inside of the box though, so I can still 'enjoy' that. Azvy. :o That's a load of silverware.

October 13, 200817 yr Azvy. :o That's a load of silverware. Was planning to buy 21 albums originally, but ended up removing Scar Symmetry's Holographic Universe because I wasn't too excited about that one. :P
October 13, 200817 yr Where do you guys order your CD's from? I'm currently using Amazon but it's a bit hard to find weirder stuff such as the Ne Obliviscaris demo The Aurora Veil which I've heard amazing things about. Thanks Venomai for this super sig and Kwimbob for the awesome avatar!

Same here, and on the off-chance that they don't have what I'm looking for I order from ginza.se. I doubt any of them ship outside of Scandinavia though. I've heard Play.com is good though.
October 16, 200817 yr Winds of Creation by Decapitated The End Complete by Obituary Symbolic by Death Picked them all up today. :D
October 17, 200817 yr Author thirteen pound inc. shipping from amazon.co.uk What a bargain! Signature by Maurice SendakWhen the stars make you drool just like a pasta fazool, that's amore!
October 19, 200817 yr Just bought Pantera's Far Beyond Driven \ . Why even try with that idiot? Honestly, there is no point whatsoever. I'd get better replies if I argued with a tree stump.
October 20, 200817 yr Author Sigur Rós - Hvarf-Heim Arcade Fire - Neon Bible Ecellent purchases. : I hope they are sending my limited edition of their new record soon. :x Signature by Maurice SendakWhen the stars make you drool just like a pasta fazool, that's amore!
October 20, 200817 yr My Hitchcock DVD's arrived today :) "Da mihi castitatem et continentam, sed noli modo"
October 20, 200817 yr Author Nice. 8-) Went to Amsterdam today for the Last Shadow Puppets concert, they also got a very big record store there which is open an hour longer than the other shops, and I also get discount there from my own work, so I bought myself a few things that I can't get here in Zeeland. 4CD 1DVD box for 24 I though this was OOP, but they had a few there for only 4, strange. Also on sale for only 8 The concert was pretty great by the way. Signature by Maurice SendakWhen the stars make you drool just like a pasta fazool, that's amore!

October 21, 200817 yr Sigur Rós - Hvarf-Heim Arcade Fire - Neon Bible Ecellent purchases. :The Sigur Rós was really really good. Still to listen to the Arcade Fire one, but if I remember their first album was pretty good. :) Steam | Soup | Last.fm
October 21, 200817 yr The Sigur Rós was really really good. Still to listen to the Arcade Fire one, but if I remember their first album was pretty good. :) Funeral is better than Neon Bible in my opinion, but that's not to say the latter isn't fantastic as well. Cool.
October 21, 200817 yr Author I think that on the entire line I like Neon Bible better, there's not a single track on it that I don't like, while there are some songs that I don't really like on Funeral. But the best songs on Funeral are just incredible and (a lot) better than the best songs on Neon Bible. You know what I mean? :P Signature by Maurice SendakWhen the stars make you drool just like a pasta fazool, that's amore!

October 23, 200817 yr Gomorra (2008), extremely realistic portrayal of the camorristi mafia in the Naples/Calabria area of southern Italy. Not a flashy hollywood action flick or Scarface though, you should only expect to see brutal reality. It doesn't glorify, it just shows what the people in those areas have to go through every day. Actually, I'd say it's a sort of documentary, it is extremely based on reality, it's not a thriller/action movie. Watch it if interested... It should be on DVD in most countries by now.
October 23, 200817 yr I got Gypsy Punks: Underdog World Strike by Gogol Bordello recently. I heard them on Jools Holland a while ago and forgot about them until a few days ago. Good fun music. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQSaYgAp2lw La lune ne garde aucune rancune.
