Hehe, America should start the acapella version of ESC. Make it global and do all the silly.

 

Speaking of German and acapella.

Awesome awesome music video for the latest David Gilmour track that is actually pretty sweet too.

 

[Pasidon]

Alright music, but great animation.  I have no idea what's going on in it, but I suppose that's how these music videos work these days.

 

Meanwhile.  Pop music occasionally gets it right.  Here is an example:

Don't know about 'these days'. It reminded me a lot of the old Pink Floyd animations.

That is bizarrely intriguing.

To make a change from the cycle of YouTube links, I'll ask a question:

 

what album(s) are so perfect for you that you never feel the need to skip a track?

[OmegaBolt]

Probably a lot but here's some of mine. Don't know if they're all perfect in the sense of musical masterpieces but all the tracks are enjoyable and don't make me want to skip.

David Arkenstone: the Emperor Battle for Dune Harkonnen OST (might as well be a disc in itself, its 1 hour)

Deep Purple: Deep Purple In Rock, Machine Head, Burn, Perfect Strangers

The Doors: The Doors, LA Woman

Edison's Children: In the Last Waking Moments

You have certainly proven you know 23 more bands than I know.  That's a lot of confidence in a lot of groups.  Maybe I'm too picky, but I can't name that many bands or albums.... let alone that many in which have tracks that I would never skip.  I don't really have the ability to connect to music like people, but there are three groups that I follow: Perturbator, Power Glove, and Protomen.  The three P's of modern 80's music.  They definitely have songs I would skip... except for Protomen.  It's one of the only groups I know of that tells a story throughout their songs so well, and it's a darn good one.

 

I've never been to a concert and I have no desire for it either... but they're actually going to be super close to me this month: https://www.facebook...02443393209092/

 

Nashville is only a 4 hour drive.  Would be interesting to see them in person.  Hmm... who knows.  But anyway, maybe the one game OST that has a playlist I can completely dig is Beyond: Two Souls.  Super duper soundtrack.

Yeah you should go see them. I would join you but there's a puddle between us that is too formidable to cross in my holey shoes.

 

Song about a guy getting his wiener cut off.

Cool music... dumb name.  Slippermen... sure.

 

Isn't the new Perturbator album to be out here soon?  They have one every year.  The last one (Dangerous Days) was... alright.  Not as epic as I am the Night.  I don't think anything could beat the Price of Failure for me... so good.  Here's one one the few I liked from Dangerous Days.   Featuring our home boy, Carpenter Brut:

This is favorite song from Frank Klepacki for 2015 and it's from Grey Goo:

 

In addition to Paradise Warfare and a few recent Frank Klepacki's tracks from Grey Goo, here's another favorite song I like for 2015:

 

It felt like some great electronic music has pwned fusion pop music these days, even better than song titles like Love Me Like You Do, Fight Song and Style combined.

Thanks for getting me into the Grey Goo soundtrack again. =D

 

So I got a free game/mod, Mel, because I like Portal (Valve had some decent music), it came with some music, which I thought was great.

Mel was a great edition to Portal.  Though... it was a bit late for it, honestly.  But it actually looks and sounds better than Portal 2.  Although, there's still only one Portal song I deem to bind them all:

Chill...

[Pasidon]

I'll use the term "awesome" in an extremely loose fashion and just put this here...

 

[Irenë Hawnetyne]

Absolute masterpiece of songwriting:

 

 

Haven't yet listened to Meliora in full yet, but if this is anything to go by, this album will be my favourite of this year and years to come.
