MUSE - Supermassive Black Hole




Song: Supermassive Black Hole
Artist: MUSE
Album: Black Holes And Revelations
Genre: Alternative
Year: 2006



It's been a long time since the last post. The reason is that I've been very busy last week: I've finished my university exams, I've returned from some little week-end vacations on the beach, and I've started my new first (official) job!. Too many things on such a little time. So... how can I celebrate this return better than posting the new song from my favourite band?
The new album is an incredible evolution from "Absolution" [Amazon]. At first sight is too strange, too bizarre. But the more you'll listen to ir, the more you'll love it!

St. Germain - Rose rouge




Song: Rose Rouge
Artist: St. Germain
Album: Tourist
Genre: Ambient, Jazz
Year: 2000



There are few musicians that are able to reach that strange listener's point of mind where he shrinks from everything. His music is reason enough to enter into a new world, ready to be explored.

Today it's not a happy day. Sad feelings have crossed my mind and I'm quite slump. Suddenly, I find this song... and soaks so far as my heart does.

The Kooks - You Don't Love Me




Song: You Don't Love Me
Artist: The Kooks
Album: Inside In / Inside Out

"It's time for retro-bands!" And the retro-bands appeared everywhere. Some of them good... some of them unpleasantly disgusting. But I think this ones are pretty good.

Stone Sour - Bother



Song: Bother
Artist: Stone Sour
Album: Stone Sour
Genre: Rock
Year: 2002



Corey Taylor [wiki] is a great example that makes you realize how much you really know about someone: you are the singer from one of the most important heavy-metal-world-hater bands, Slipknot [wiki] (if you don't know them, watch this video [YouTube]), but suddenly you form a new band to compose other things, such as this piece.

Paul Oakenfold - Faster Kill Pussycat




Song: Faster Kill Pussycat
Artist: Paul Oakenfold
Album: A Lively Mind
Genre: Electronic, Dance
Year: 2006



When your favourite DJ [wiki] has a new studio album in stores... you get crazy. But if you've waited four years since his last studio album [Amazon.com]... you get even more crazy!

Did you know that Brittany Murphy [wiki|imdb] had such a beautiful voice? Oakenfold [imdb|DjList] did.

Phil Collins - Another Day In Paradise




Song: Another Day In Paradise
Artist: Phil Collins
Album: ...But Seriously
Genre: Rock
Year: 1989



The other day, my friend Joss and I bet when was published this song. I said it was published when Phil Collins still was on Genesis [wiki], he said it wasn't. This is the price I've paid for being wrong: to post it.

Bruno Pelletier - Lune




Song: Lune
Artist: Bruno Pelletier
Album: Notre-Dame de Paris
Genre: Musical, French
Year: 2000



Breath-taking interpretation of Bruno Pelletier on this Victor Hugo's [wiki] novel based [wiki] musical [wiki]. Awesome explanation of what an uncorresponded love is, even more beautiful in its original language. Wow!

Text [via]:

Lune, qui là-haut s'allume sur les toits de Paris, vois comme un homme peut souffrir d'amour.
Bel astre solitaire, qui meurt quand revient le jour, entends monter vers toi le chant de la terre.
Entends le cri d'un homme qui a mal, pour qui un million d'étoiles ne valent p`as les yeux de celle qu'il aime. D'un amour mortel.
Lune.


Lune, qui là-haut s'embrume avant que le jour ne vienne, entends rugir le coeur de la bête humaine.
C'est la complainte de Quasimodo qui pleure sa détresse folle. Sa voix par monts et par vaux s'envole pour arriver jusqu'à toi.
Lune!

Veille sur ce monde étrange qui mêle sa voix au choeur des anges.
Lune, qui là-haut s'allume pour éclairer ma plume, vois comme un homme peut souffrir d'amour.

I've recently discovered this girl (even though this album was released last year). It took some time to adjust my mind to what I was listening to... but when I did it, I loved it.

Audioslave - Shadow On The Sun

The best track from this album and, possibly, the best one I've heard on an Audioslave album. The video is a cut from Cuba Live DVD [wiki], released on 2k'05.

Vangelis - Tears In Rain




Song: Tears In Rain
Artist: Vangelis
Album: Blade Runner
Genre: Soundtrack, Instrumental, Score
Year: 1982



Yes, again a song from this album... but I love it so much. I think that one of those reasons why I love this film so much (it's my cult movie) [Blade Runner's wiki] is due to the amazing Vangelis composition. Each moment fits perfectly. For example, the final scene of the movie (the Director's Cut has another one) that you'll find below this words and that you'll find too on soundtrack (with Roy's speech [wiki] on the background).
