Because sitars have been brought up, I'm now listening to some new age sitar music. Celestial Music For the Sitar is what it's called. See, me and Pisky here WOULD be makin some great tunes of the like but HE is too lazy to get his hands on a sitar! I already got me the tabla ;D

Zen Mechanics- Holy Cities... Motorhead- Motorizer.. Oh, oh ..and the ozrics in the studio on the Jurassic Shift DVD.. well "watching" this one! Kinda strange too, everyone is in the shadows, murky creepy and cool, the shot out the window is very eerie! Totally compelling though.... -Rob.

The latest from OPETH and their album WATERSHED.
Goodness, this band shook my floorboards on the second track in parts of 'Heir Apparent'.
They have a certain nuance in their anger and rage that is just right for me. They basically slash over what all other modern(ish) heavy bands have to offer.

Opeth are Something else entirely, you really need to hear the release "Ghost Reveries". There is the ultimate of ultimate Thrash Metal tracks on there "The Grand Conjuration".
Take it from Sabs it is terrifying. The best metal track you ever heard.
Watershed is a good one but personally I feel they are trying to be too clever, stopping and starting all the time. The track with the guitar that gets detuned as it is played is a cracker though is it not ?

I need to hear 'Watershed' more yet, to try and suss where I think they are at, regarding prevoius releases.
Kirk, they could be trying to be cleverer (is that a word and the right spelling?!).....and it may work? Could be interesting!
Of course, 'Ghost Reveries' boasts an erray of metal fury, but it's not just about thrash with them and I enjoy any stop and starts, and so do love the lighter bits that they can squeeze in between the wrath of what they emit.
Lovely vocals at times, and harmonies, but then, the death growls just sound so massive when they re appear.
When I get tingles on my body, that's when I am most satisfied, and in this genre of music, this lot can deliver just that.
I do though adore the magic of their 'Damnation' album. Soft, caressing, and deeply moving.
Oh, and I love their use of the Mellotron - what a haunting sound that has.

I entirely agree with everything you say there Sabs. Damnation is my fave and its not a heavy one. Opeth more than any other Metal band understand about tension and release, light and dark,beauty and brutality. Its a real shame that Akerfeldt is an egotistical dick though..

I've been watching the new DVD from occult dabblers, BLACK WIDOW. Filmed at the Beat Club in Germany in 1970, this never seen before footage (released in January this year) is superb. The band 'perform' every track from their classic SACRIFICE album, during an afternoon at the club, before they played before an audience that evening. I have been in contact with the Sax player who performs on this DVD only this week, and mate, that was kinda surreal! I have so much to ask! What with the fourth studio album seeing the light of day from 72', and the lost demos of the 'Sacrifice' album coming out on the RETURN TO THE SABBAT disc, being an old timer fan, I'm being spoilt right now as the old 'magic' has been re-lit! There's never been a better time to become a 'new' Black Widow fan! Come to the Sabbat - Satan's there! We have curried goat for supper this evening, washed down with the blood of a black chicken. Err, um.....sorry bout' that, just got a little carried away.......... Anyway, take a wee gander if you wish..... uk.youtube.com/watch?v=lEmALYV72sc&feature=related

I was introduced to Tonto's Expanding Headband the other day, its a couple of guys on some old fashioned synths and sequencers with effin big wires everywhere, they're not bad as it goes, i thought they were gonna be shit. Their musics kind of trance/meditation from the early 70's. Check em' out, they're not a million miles away from some of the more chilled out stuff the Ozrics do, a bit Phalarn Dawn.

Tonto's Expanding Headband - that was Bob Margelef (sp?) and Malcolm Cecil. Steve Hillage went over to the states to use the Tonto synth on his Motivation Radio album with Malcolm Cecil producing. I remember there were photos of the synth on the inner sleeve of the vinyl album and yeah it was an amazing lookin machine.

Strange I always thought Tonto's was a japanese bloke, but maybe I am getting that confused "Switched on Bach" another of the first synth Epics.....

Various RADIOHEAD stuff.
Musically I enjoy most of what I have heard, got no problems with the downer side of them, and the voice is pretty neat.
I just soooo love those lyrics in the song SUBTERRANEAN HOMESICK ALIEN...
'I wish that they'd swoop down in a country lane Late at night when I'm driving Take me on board their beautiful ship Show me the world as I'd love to see it I'd tell all my friends But they'd never believe They'd think that I'd finally lost it completely'
Just imagine that happening, the bit driving in the dark country lane, you look up ahead, this massive ship swoops down and takes you in.....
Yeah, I could handle that! Far out!

Radiohead, just can't make em' out. Pablo Honey was well average, so The Bends came as a right shock at the time. Then an album the critics said they've peaked with, was then equalled, if not bettered with O.k Computer. Kid A may have not been everybodies cup of tea, personally i liked it, but you've gotta give the band due, they tried to do something different and not just do an O.k Computer remake , which they probably had a lot of pressure from their record company to do. Amnesiac fell a bit short, and sounded a bit like the ones that were left over from the Kid A sessions, apart from Pyramid Song, which is beautiful. The live E.P was alright, but only alright and then we have two more completely average albums again finishing off their discography in Hail To The Theif and In Rainbows. So at the moment they're a band i've kinda fallen out with. i think they've failed to deliver since Kid A.

radiohead , in some ways like a punky version of pink floyd ? , the pyramid song has some intricate drumming on it , creep is a great rock sing a long ... and street spirit has one of many great radio head guitar riffs , and the solo in paranoid android , very phyiscal !

I agree Damien, Radiohead have a lot of the feel of pre darkside Floyd and Thom Yorke ranks alongside David Gilmour as one of my fave singers. The tourist is just pure 'meddle' to my ears and gets me every time
