MUSIC LINKS...♫

by coceng - last update: Aug 23, 2006

MY BLOODY VALENTINE (AUDIO SAMPLES)
This album is epochal ! It was created by 4 Gods, by the name of Kevin, Belinda, Colm & Debbie....
Maelstroms of white noise....that could only exist in heaven!
Ear-damaging....skull-cracking....adrenalin-gushing...glass-shattering.....but,..
....they all sound like baby-lullabies, sung while a Concorde Airplane is just feets away on top of your head!!!
....or to many people, this group sounds like Enya on helium!!!
Go figure !!
DO GET TO KNOW THEM MUCH BETTER ON
HERE...

SWERVEDRIVER (AUDIO SAMPLES)
Another band that I clung to for a long time is called Swervedriver...They look greasy, they play droning LOUD DISTORTED GUITAR music & it's a majestic ride through their highways...Check about them on HERE...
Suffice to say that My Bloody Valentine, Teenage Fanclub & Swervedriver were all from CREATION stable...( and of course Oasis too but they were/are NEVER on my music list anyway...).


SARAH JANE MORRIS (AUDIO SAMPLES)
A jazz singer that I truly love mainly for her big voice ! I knew her from The Communards actually....You know, the song 'Don;t Leave Me This Way' ! Check her OUT !...
TEENAGE FANCLUB (AUDIO SAMPLES)
How come a brilliant 'country & western' album always has to be by the Brits !?
This album is just that....I would cruise down any American highway listening to this album at full blast !!
I am ALWAYS in love with TFC; They had a song called 'Kylie's Got A Crush On Us !'; They like to cover odd songs occasionally like 'Like A Virgin' by Madonna; The once released an intrumental album just to prove their could !... Some of the amazing places that I have been to in Europe were accompanied by TFC songs; Though you can start to know their music from THIS ALBUM...


RIDE (AUDIO SAMPLES)
Another Creation Records band....RIDE; was one of my first 'shoegazing' forays. Distorted loud guitar with little-boy-lost vocal lulled me to my 'world'...Mark Garderner is ugly sure but his voice is so heavenly...

THE BYRDS
Definitely one of my all times favourites bands...This band has single-handedly changed the course of country music in the last century !
Read more here...

THE BREEDERS (AUDIO SAMPLES)
If you are claustrophobic, you will enjoy this album!
....then you will discover a new world within....; For the rest of us, make sure your room is painted black & play this album at full volume !
Read a bit more about them on HERE & discover a few more bands along the way...like Throwing Muses !

MOGWAI (AUDIO SAMPLES)
Mogwai was one of the bands I discovered post 'shoegazing'....I am happy in owning some of their earlier releases but I stopped collecting their records when I discovered travelling in 2001 ! Check about them on clicking their name above...

HOOD (AUDIO SAMPLES)
Another great band is called HOOD; If you are feeling lonely say in a place somewhere in the countryside, where the sounds of crickets, the sounds of grass rubbing each other, the sounds of those rustic houses being left in the fields; the sounds of those forlorn valleys....then, you might want to check their music....Oh, they sometimes sing too...
NICK CAVE AND THE BAD SEEDS (AUDIO SAMPLES)
Of all albums by Nick Cave, this is my favourite!
Listening to this album won't ever make you be a murderer...but the story tellings are so stark & bold that we want to be at the murder scenes portrayed on this album....Kylie Minogue couldn't be more morbid & PJ Harvey brings out the 'vibe' brilliantly!
Listening to this album for a thousand times...still makes me chilly to the bone !
Don't just get to know about this album (One of my ALL TIME faves...) but do get to know about Nick Cave, his old bands as well on HERE...


HUGGY BEAR (AUDIO SAMPLERS)
Remember the Rriot Girls Movement in the early 90s ? One band that I love most was Huggy Bear ! Shouty female/male vocals; Citing poetries on stage; Pissing on policemen etc etc. Wonder where are those other bands went to ?...
GORKY'S ZYGOTIC MYNCI (AUDIO SAMPLERS)
The first bunch of Welsh people that I love ! They are playful, they are tuneful..they are toon-ful !
Tired of the cartoons on TV, then...listen to this bunch & create your own cartoon shows instead !
They probably living in a world where they could befriend the elf !!
....they sure could make this brilliant album!...This album always brings tears to my eyes...
This album was their introduction to the world but read EVERYTING about them & their releases on their own WORLD !


SUPER FURRY ANIMALS (AUDIO SAMPLERS)
You would also want to check their ANKST RECORDS labelmate called SUPER FURRY ANIMALS (although SFA went to sign with Creation Records for a while...). Another super great Welsh band... SFA exists in another world but of course as zany & 'insane' as The Gorky's anyway. SFA had a song of the longest name of a place in the world :
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwyll-llantysiliogogogoch
It's in Wales, well of course !

SARAH RECORDS
SARAH RECORDS was the DIY ethics of releasing records in early towards the end of 80's...It didn't matter if NOBODY bought ANY of your records, you didn't want to be the next U2 anyway...
There used to be a time when people believed in the DIY ethics but nobody wanted to know about them...
They didn't give a toss!...but releasing records as if the world was their own....
Sarah Records was just that....the bands were shambolic, playing 6th form poetries, jangling their way...to the Classic status!
This compilation (very rare now...) brings those bands together for the last time & released this compilation as their number 100th release....their farewell to us all....
All their records are sought after the world over...& people pay high money to own at least one record by these bands....
....their records are being auctioned at record fairs around the world...& try to bid on ANY of these records at EBAY....& ONLY the serious collectors will own them in the end....
...'nuff said !


CARTER TUSM
Carter The Unstoppable Sex Machine was a band that I was fond of ! They were 2 elderly men who looked like 2 school kids ! 'Nuff said about them...Though you might want to check about them if you do click on their band name above...
TH' FAITH HEALERS (AUDIO SAMPLERS)
Their songs are like surging trains running encircling your head....forever...never want to stop....
.....Shake your head violently!...Bang your body to the wall!...Jumping up & down between a rope held by your 2 best friends....
.....This group doesn't care because they just want to play POP music !
I used to play this album really really loud at home & my mum used to bang the door in the middle of the night ! One time I played this album out loud on my walkman on the bus even the bus driver asked me to turn the volume slow if not he would kick me out from the bus !
Awesome, sadly the band is no more....I think Roxanne Stephen quit the music industry & went back to college....Read about them & their 'Cute' Crazy World....

QUICKSPACE SUPERSPORT (AUDIO SAMPLES)
They are shambolic, they are chaotic...they are always on the verge of breaking down.....
...Just like when you are in deep shiit...you don't know how to get out of it....
The music they are playing sums up that kind of moods brilliantly !
They are actually the reincarnation of Th' Faith Healers above ! ...minus Roxxane of course.
Dig really deep in their 'SPACE...
I am one the luckiest people who managed to collect almost EVERYTHING they ever released !
I cherish their records forever...

SEEFEEL (AUDIO SAMPLES)
My first 'ambience' album....too late for you guys, this album is mighty rare !
The songs surely exist between the deep space & the deep blue sea....using REPETETIVENESS as the backbone of their music, they manage to bring us out from this world into their own !
This album sounds so majestic like it could be used into one's psychic journey...
Read more what I'm blabbering about on HERE...
This album is so influencial that copycats don't even manage to come close to their psyche....
This influential band also love to create other projects on different monickers & if you are interested, you can read about IT as well...


TOO PURE RECORDS
Also, do check this label called TOO PURE becaus Th' Faith Healers, PJ Harvey, Stereolab, Moonshake etc etc...came from this label which was also known as Too Poor...

JACK
'Jack' makes great music ! Another band from Too Pure Records...Their discography here !
