sick shanxian selections.

Ban.

jaar album has completely taken over my corner of the earth. the range and marriage of genres is vast for such a cohesive piece... i'm finding it sort of miraculous how it compounds. ray charles is fucking awesome. the bubbly luquidy effects are amazing over sax and piano, more unorthodox sampling... this one's not getting old for me aaanytime soon

[shanx]

a bit of an older release--this was unleashed in october of 2010

i'm posting it because i think some of you will like it. this album is not quite to the caliber i consider long arm / jaar to be for 2011, but overall, a very solid album. if you like heady bass intermingled with sporadic, well-placed dreamwave vocal melodies, check it. make love to your old lady to it. meditate. chop. makes for decent driving music, too.

well-rounded contribution to the new-age trip hop revival. it gets a little thin in some areas, but it's worthy.

let me know if you like it!

additionally here is a jaar xlr8r podcast from 2.08.11

short but very enjoyable IMO

i gave it a good listen and have come to the conclusion that i don't like it. it's really strange, weird, and out of this world. doesn't surprise me that you would like it.

next selection.

I really enjoyed that Phaeleh album.

[shanx]

I really enjoyed that Phaeleh album.

thanks. glad you listened to it then. did you try any of the others

[shanx]

why can't i embed a video

[daxton]

from youtube?

[Hannahrain]

Inverted thumbs?

[daxton]

i've been wondering why there weren't youtubes in here for the sick selections.

[shanx]

yeah, with the youtube tags using link or embed code, what am i doing wrong...

[daxton]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xi3SVv8YFmg&feature=feedrec_grec_index

take the bold part and put the youtube tags around it. does that make sense?

[shanx]

ahhhhhh yes it does. yes that is perfectly clear...

[shanx]

i backed out of the track i was going to youtube post

[daxton]

Well, you could always edit your previous selections to include a video so we can be lazy.

[shanx]

oh, so you don't want to listen to the album, you want a hand-picked one-track SSS?

now i'm even less motivated to post single tracks!

[daxton]

What? You're crazy. I guess I don't understand what you're trying to do here.

[shanx]

i am a little crazy yeah

but i wanted to post whole albums not songs. whole pieces, so to speak. i guess the first song on an album wouldn't be bad but i definitely wouldn't pick one.

[daxton]

Ok. I get it. Um. I am not the right person to help you figure this out. But, how are you trying to post a whole album?

[guedita]

Gross.

[daxton]

What took you so long?

[guedita]

. <3 .

[daxton]

Good one. I didn't anticipate this at all.

For fans of ambient/modern classical:

Rafael Anton Irisarri

edit: for everyone and anyone.

[SDsoldier7]

Good one. I didn't anticipate this at all.

you're right. i apologize.

[daxton]

We'll never be facebook friends is you keep this up. And I was so hoping we would be.

[SDsoldier7]

im not sure how to respond to that.
