Support NeoGAF

[injurai]

A way for GAF to share their musical interests outside of genre-centric threads and to see what others think.

The Rules

• 1. Rate the song(s) above you.
• 2. Post a new song.
• 3. Actually Listen to the song before you rate it.
• 4. Discover new music.
• 5. Don't be a dick.
• 6. Have fun.

I'll start off with a legendary track The Jimi Hendrix Experience - All Along The Watchtower

 

[Trin]

The Jimi Hendrix Experience - All Along The Watchtower

1968/10 <3 (edit: woops!)

How to Destroy Angels - Ice Age

I'll support Ice Age with a solid 7, very interesting song, and one that flows surprisingly well.

The Clientele - Harvest Time

Nice idea for a thread, hopefully it catches on.

Since yours got skipped, I'm happy to rate it a 6.5/10
It's got a very laid back (Beatles-esque seems to obvious) mood to it, mixed with something you'd find on the Garden State soundtrack. A little repetitive, but would listen again.

How to Destroy Angels - Ice Age

7/10

I really like her voice, it actually sounds vaguely like Cheryl Crow in my opinion. The weird string-plucking isn't really my thing though.

4 Non-Blondes - What's Up

I actually like the he-man version better than the real song now

Hmm, started out good, but I don't like the direction it took.

Very nice, not even my kind of music but I'll give this an 8/10.

Szjerdene - Blue Lullaby

Very sweet song, something I'd love to listen to on a sunny drive down PCH. Love the album art too!

Kris Rowley - The Balled of the Existentialist

 

[UrbanRats]

Sounds like a medieval Mega Man.

7/10.

Iron & Wine: The Trapeze Swinger

Not exactly my style, but a sweet song nonetheless, 6/10.
So i'll go with another sweet one:

Valley Of The Giants - Bala Bay Inn

 

[Davidion]

I like this a lot, I'll give an 8. I've also been looking for some good electro-rock stuff lately.

Szjerdene - Blue Lullaby

Hmm, she has power behind those vocals but uses them to tease octaves a bit. It's a lovely track; I'm impressed.

8/10

Fair warning: this is a very long track.

Much longer than it has a right to be. I'll review it once I've had a chance to listen to the whole thing but I have a feeling I'm going to fall asleep halfway through it.

Okay, only a few minutes in atthe moment but this would probably be the best thing ever if I was high out of my mind right now.

Yeah, my bad. I had originally just had a youtube link, then added the artist's name/song title without removing the url from the first link.

Hah, I appreciate you trying.

It's a recent find of mine that I've taken a particular liking to. There is definitely a lot of repetition but many elements float beneath the surface to reward those who listens carefully. Although, I will say that it's the final resolution and all of the build into it that really gets me.

Hope you like it. I don't imagine it's to everyone's taste.

 

[black_13]

Feel good song.
very nice, 7/10.

Stefano Barone - Alexander Supertramp

woah really chill and mellow. Not even my kind of music but I still enjoyed that. Even more impressive watching it. 9/10. The title confuses me though.


James Zabiela - Healing
More electronic/trancy/house music though but still different than the norm.

I'm really loving that track, FWIW.

Stefano Barone it the musician, "Batman" and "Alexander Supertramp" are actually two songs mashed into one, in the video (from the album "Particolare #1").

I'm not a huge fan of the genre in general, but that was a cool song. I feel like it should be in a game like Chime. 8.5/10.

Stefano Barone - Alexander Supertramp

Uh, wow. Not what I was expecting at all. I really do miss well done guitar work; every once in a while I'd love a bit of Flamenco Guitar for spice.

This is just really nice; calm yet focused is the only way I can describe it. Finds are 2/2 in this thread.

9/10

I'm really loving that track, FWIW.

Oh I'm glad you enjoyed it. This is a track that I'd leave on repeat when I sleep and wake up to the ending refrain. It makes me melt, not to mention it sets off my ASMR like nothing else as of late.

I know that feel.

As for acoustic, you may like:

Andy Mckee, Eric Mongrain or for more flamenco stuff, Ana Vidovic (lol, i know Asturias is kind of the go to track, but still).

I really like the guitar work, I am very much one to appreciate a subtle, slow guitar. Reminds me very much of Simon and Garfunkle.

Time to pimp out my boys again!

Good stuff.
IT would fit well in something like Sherlock, coincidentally.
I'm giving it a fat 7/10.

Gatto Ciliegia contro il grande freddo - Dopolavoro dancing

Last one (it's from a soundtrack, but i assume it counts).

Considering the title of the video, I bet you guys think I am really weird now heh.

mmm.... I guess but we all make mistakes like that. We can still be GAF mates. lol

The Roots - What They Do

Mellow and familiar, to throw a score out there I'd say 7+/10, maybe 8+ there are some good instrumentals in there (I listened to the arcade mash-up above too that you rated and was a bit overwhelmed).

Eydea: Even Shadows Have Shadows

 

[K.Sabot]

The Roots - What They Do

8/10 one of The Roots' best.

Les Savy Fav - Reprobate's Resume

Edit: Hold up thread! Lemme listen to the songs before you start moving!

Double Edit: Kk listened to the song above me now. 7/10. Love the beat, the MC's voice is a bit nasally, but that doesn't detract that much. Otherwise, like most hip-hop, it's hard to fully consume on first listen, so my first experience with a hip-hop song varies depending on how much I absorb.

Not bad, but a little too chaotic for my taste. Though I could listen to this if I'm programming or maybe studying. I'll give it a 7/10.

6/10, overall song structure and chord progressions were pretty rote and familiar, but the singing kept me interested. I enjoyed it.

Oh man.

Where to begin? The beat may be slapper, but I've heard it 900 billion times on better songs, she doesn't add anything new to it. 4/10, not actively insulting but just below average. Not to say that I don't understand why people may enjoy it though.

Hip-hop isn't normally my thing, but I could probably listen to this album and reasonably enjoy it. 7/10.

Lydia - A Story for Supper (This song is pure fucking bliss. I love it so much.)

EDIT: Actually I kinda had trouble bringing myself to close the tab the song was playing in, so yeah, I'd probably up it to 8/10 just because of that. :lol
