Do I get points for actually remembering Arctic Thunder (the band)?!?!
considering they only released a single demo tape: yo! here, have a scene point!

New Darkthrone, 'Arctic Thunder' dropping in October. Digging the album cover:

OK...now this is Nintendo-related news I'm actually stoked about: http://kotaku.com/brilliant-fan-remake-of-metroid-ii-arrives-just-in-time-1784929739?utm_campaign=Socialflow_Kotaku_Facebook&utm_source=Kotaku_Facebook&utm_medium=Socialflow

just finished this yesterday (normal mode, ~6h, 94% item aquisition), conclusion: if you're a fan of the series you seriously owe it to yourself to track this thing down. it deffo felt like the real deal 85~90% (it couldn't quiiite sustain its quality towards the end imo, some areas suddenly felt somewhat empty and rushed but whatevs... also some dramatic turns didn't hit quite as hard as in the original due to new mechanics... not going into detail to avoid spoilers for the sorry few who don't know it yet). some of the puzzle designs and bossfights are honestly among the very best of the franchise. presentationwise it was mostly spot on, graphics nailed it with some minor outliers. i kinda wish the music was similarly 16 bit in style for a more coherent experience, compositions / sound design are pretty cool for the most part, tho. FX are great.
kinda sad it's over really...
fusion 2 - get to it already!!
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.

nothing personal jev-o, but in this matter you sound terribly full of yourself (amongst other things). ironic you would seem to struggle for the "purest" state possible while listening, as if someone like you would ever be able to switch himself off...
your catechism of music reception reads like something out of gremlins ("don't feed past midnight"). apart from being pretty narrow minded it does not make a whole lot of sense.
anyway beerwolf is right, it's cool to have a party pooper to spice things up, tho with this stuff i'm not even sure if you're just taking the piss honestly. but please, do go on.
...
TBM2 is constantly shifting btw. if you wouldn't have been distracted by your foot / intestines / brain or whatevs while listening you'd know. ;P

A question for people who enjoys TBM2:
Are you basing your opinion on actually sitting down with the music and fully concentrating on every second it has to offer without any other distractions (browsing web, cooking, driving a car, watching some visual stuff, looking around your room impatiently, doing drugs, drinking, talking with friends, playing games etc.)? Please be honest. Very interested.
<- exposed. if i wasn't so superficial i'd hate TBM, too.

Their music has always been pretty repetitive though.. their output up to maybe chiastic slide was even more repetitive than this stuff imo. Again, I don't have a problem with it at all, but repetition has kinda been their thing since the beginning..
ex - fucking - actly.
elseq is just ae doing what they do best, exceptional only being the scope (and general accomplishment imo). no idea what the fuzz about their allegedly new found "jamminess" is about (in praise and criticism alike), they pretty much always were heavily influenced by improvisational disciplines like scratching etc., no secret.
(regardless i'd also still bet my left ball the majority of this release is edited as fuck)

on topic: fallen prey to clicker heroes...

The world would be a better place if every man, woman, and child beat at least the first challenge of TIS-100.
oooh you remind me i'm stuck at 9 programs after about 11 hours of gameplay since half a year XP... should really try to get back into it, does a really great job at making you feel like a genius when you finally see those numbers flow, especially when you're actually borderline dyscalculiac like me XP... absolutely beautiful game (including demure visual aesthetics)!
...
wasn't the first segment like literally just mov-ing numbers straight to outlets, tho?

Think there's a Wii emulator (Dolphin?) - might be on that...
exactly! ran em pretty much flawlessly (from what i can tell).
9 and 10 did have some of the best robot masters though, right? wasn't there sheep man and like, baseball man or something?
agreed! those 2 are from 10 actually, i really dug nitro man's stage (*wroom*). overall boss patterns were quite hard to get into in both titles, mega buster only challenge really is one with those. especially plug man from 9 did my head right in, uneven terrain didn't help either...
street fighter x megaman was a great effort for a fan title. far from perfect of course but good fun.

mm2 is one of the easier ones, no? i think it's one of the first ones i beat (like 20 years ago). it's the one with the dragon in one of wily's stage i think
sure is. the very same stage featuring one of the best musics in video game history. mm2 is indeed relatively easy (especially compared to 1) and one of the main reasons for that is this OP fella:
- hyper economical.
- fires in 8 directions.
- effective against multiple robot masters (including the ability to even one-shot himself).
- even his stage is one of the easiest so starting with him is a no brainer.
... the platforming is rather mild, too imo.
thanks to this thread i got inspired to finally check out out 9 and 10 via emulator. both very nice indeed (figured 10 is kinda underrated) and decidedly harder than the classics (or my skills just got rusty). but the music doesn't hold a candle to the first 4 titles imo, those are nothing less than works for the ages.

Wow, this is like the elyc6 0nset of bullshit.
seconded. bit forced.

Yeah, L-EVENT better than Exai? I dunno about that. Maybe more consistent, but...
pretty much this, although i do realize it's kind of an unfair comparison considering the vastly differing scales, but tac alone pretty much beats anything on exai for me in terms of "wow". yeah i know it's practically another chapter of exai but with a good half a year between release dates to me they totally feel like singular entities with their own personal histories of reception etc. the consistency also not only applies to the releases as a whole but singular tracks as well: to me some exai tracks could be excellent but suffer from just minor details here n there that rub me in a not-so-perfect way, mostly concerning tunefulness. whatever, like i said nevertheless awesome (but in regard to their overall oevre not neccessarily "envelope pushing") release, still feel things have only been ramping up since then.

Still...as a grown-up, spending $80 on a poster is not that outrageous.
Yeah, pretty happy with it, don't regret buying it although I did take a long time to decide. A release of this quality needs showcasing on the walls.
Just scouring amazon for a descent 70x50 clip frame to put it in. Wonder what frames the others ended ended up in, or if anyone just stuck some blue tack on and postered it.
What's that 86-16 at the bottom?
arrrglmpfglrx....... on the brink of caving in before they're gone... kinda surpised they're actually going that fast considering tdr's apparently still sitting on aevstdr14 prints. would you mind posting maybe just one more pic for an impression of the scale to push me over the edge? :3
-
exai<l-event<ae_live=elseq imo, still great album.
second half of fleure is some of the best they ever done. 11is, nodezh, spl9 winners, too. irlite was an aquired taste for me, another stand-out by now.

Yeah crazy music and dude!stuff
gesualdo is proper sick yo, specially 5th and 6th books of madrigals! dude is like the varg virkernes of mannerism, killed his wife n shit...
I would add the 4th book to that list.Check the La Venexiana recording.Probably my favorite classical record ever.
Amazing beyond belief.Their recording of Io Tacero is the single most heart wrenching thing ive ever heard.!
If you can get it,please do you wont regret it!
With the 4th you see the remorse and madness is starting to get to his brain but still havent do absolute damage.
Its more melancholic than pure darkness like the 5th and 6th.
Gesualdo is a genius in my opinion(mad genius that is)!Most intense vocal music ever written!It cuts your soul into pieces.
I have not cry more to any other composer or musician/music than Gesualdo madrigals.
Io Tacero,O dolorosa gioia and Moro Lasso are some of the most amazing music ever written.
But i think to fully get him,you have to have experienced,
or being experiencing extremely intense psychological pain yourself.If you are doing quite well,you will just think its weird music.
But if you are suicidal,in depression or mentally ill the music will hit you like a ton of brick,
because his music is like the perfect musical equivalent of these feelings.Anyway its how i feel.
I have not find the La Venexiana recording of Io Tacero,all the recording there is on youtube are 10 times less intense than their version
but this one is ok:
Here La Venexiana recording of O dolorosa gioia,most beautiful singing i know of:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvBFxefFlHk
Nice dramatic recording of Moro Lasso,the second part of the madrigal is pure pain:
cheers for the recommendation dude... yeah it's been a while with the gesualdo, around 2008 after learning about him while visiting donaueschinger musiktage i checked out as much as i could find and 5th and 6th just stood the most, probably because they're the most in-your-face effed up. will give 4th a relisten and look out for that particular recording :)
edit: moro lasso=hit!

Metal Appreciation Thread!

Posted · Edited by jaderpansen
ok.
i don't want to comment on the track (yet), but: so much for fucking "hypster"-culture. fenriz be like "record more serious", internet interprets it like "first black metal record since sardonic". like seriously that's exactly what the wiki says already and most obviously noone had even heard a single note while typing that because that song, good or not, doesn't even fuckign REMOTELY fit that description. like... FUCK! and i was naive enough to believe and pissing my pants with excitement... fuck you, internet!
that being said fenriz being so in yo face about his in influences i going on my tits by now. i mean it's cool n all but all that blabbering and self deconstruction is somewhat killing what TO ME music and especially heavy metal is about: immersion and escapism. i don't want to think "oooh this sounds like they're playing like something off the first poison idea record now, fancy!" while listening, i wanna FEEL like "wohoo the dragon is drinking the virgin's blood now" or whatever really. (self-) referentialist ironic fucks fuck off! (i still love em... even this phase brought forth some serious pearls like "hanging out in haiger"!! despite cultural relevance being next to 0. i don't care. i just prefer their black metal.)
