Kid Koala - Fender Bender

Song: Fender Bender
Artist: Kid Koala
Album: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Genre: Ambient
Year: 2000

What this artist thinks first? He composes a song and then he thinks about a video that fits fine? Or he has a video on mind and then he composes the tune? That's interesting, don't you think? If you don't know what I'm talking about... this track is a great example.

I love too much the "Almost Easy Listening" song (I guess it's from the "Scratchcratchratchatc" EP), really hard to find.

Led Zeppelin - Since I've Been Loving You

Song: Sinve I've Been Loving You
Artist: Led Zeppelin
Album: Remasters
Genre: Rock
Year: 2003

If you have nothing about one of the greates bands on earth ever, take a look on this compilation (very complete). And, if you just know "Stairway To Heaven", listen this song as the first one... because you will look this band with different eyes: they will reflect full admiration. Essential the guitar roll of Jimmy Page [wiki], that we could consider one of his best compositions.

Genre: Alternative Rock

There is a man who knows too much about music. Even more than what you can imagine. Now think that you get an DVD with his last year musical compilation... wouldn't it be great? How many bands, like this one, would you discover?

Metallica - Master Of Puppets

Song: Master Of Puppets
Artist: Metallica
Album: S&M
Genre: Hard-Rock, Heavy
Year: 1999

Why?

1. This is the best live album you'll ever listen to. There is no other live album like this one.
   
2. The timing between Metallica and the orchestra musicians is prefect.
3. Michael Kamen [wiki] does an incredible conducting work (may rest in peace).
4. All tracks improves too much with orchestral accompaniment. Sometimes you think they were composed to be played this way.
5. I wish I could have been there...

Massive Attack - Angel

Song: Angel
Artist: Massive Attack
Album: Mezzanine
Genre: Alternative Rock, Trip-Hop
Year: 1998

I think that there are no words able to describe this song. If you can't feel something special when you are listening to it, you should reconsider yourself about what music means to you.
I've chosen an interesting video made by some fan about the Atomic Bomb. It makes you think about so many things...

I was happy after knowing that Deborah Dyer (aka Skin, ex Skunk Anansie [wiki]) was gonna continue with her musical creer alone, and I got his solo debut album: Fleshwounds [amazon link]. Nedless to say that, if you still don't have it, you must. Now she has released her new album, tasty.

To be 30 years breaking the stage is not easy at all. To be 30 years creating songs that most people would recongnize is not easy at all. And to be one of the best-selling music artists....is not easy at all.

Yoko Kanno & Origa - Rise

Song: Rise
Artist: Yoko Kanno & Origa
Album: Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex O.S.T. 2
Genre: Anime, Soundtrack
Year: 2005

When was the last time I posted an Anime [wiki] Soundtrack song? Long time ago, I guess. I have to do it more often, because there is too much quality on these albums. I will never get tired of listening Akira Yamaoka [wiki], Kenji Kawai [wiki], Nobuo Uematsu [wiki], Noriko Matsueda [wiki], Shirou Hamaguchi [wiki], Seiji Honda or Yoko Kanno [wiki].

Here you have an interesting Wiki article about Video Game Music[wiki link].

Song: Don't Save Us From The Flames
Artist: M83

Interesting electronic-rock that this band plays on this album (his their third studio one). Sometimes it sounds as if it was self-published, don't you think?
