Periphery, new album Clear live stream \mm/ Crossposting this to the metal thread

Well they did make that SCD-XA777ES, was it? That Justin favors so much. So maybe we should disconnect the fan and put in some passive cooling, and/or recase it with a larger quieter specialized fan before we give up on it. And by we, I mean one of you DIY guys.

I think he's talking about the fan on the back panel. Although I am now so thoroughly entertained by the peanut gallery's contributions that I almost didn't say anything. Sent from mah phone-blet via Tapatalk

I bet it sounds really good with Sony headphones.

Happy birthday! (party favour noise)

Yeah, I <3 Anathema. But I've been watching so few concert disks, I still need to see that.

It's been a VNV Nation kind of day for me. I forgot how many instrumentals these guys did. Love 'em!

Well, no, I don't blame you, except inasmuch as you were choosing that particular point from the review to repeat, so it must have been important enough to you that it bore repeating. It was the "royal you". And yes, absolutely yes, I will listen to the rest of the album. Did you miss the part where I really liked the production, even on the one track (also via YouTube, which isn't famous for their resolution)? And I'm sorry if I offended, I always appreciate being pointed at new music.

Alright, let me start with, I'm glad you are enjoying it, and nothing I say should dissuade you from continuing to enjoy it. I enjoy what I enjoy despite many people's attempts to dissuade me, but music to me is greater than language. And it should be to you. But... "...Slayer being played at double speed..."? That's just hyperbole. Have you listened to Slayer? I mean, like, any Slayer? At 0:50, they speed up. I mean, they weren't playing as fast they could yet, and they still sound like any other band sped up. Most of their albums clock in at less than 40 minutes, and yet they still have more notes than most albums 72 minutes long (not just Godflesh, an analogy I often made when people would complain about albums being short). Alright, that's not my only criticism, but I'll leave it at that. It's actually really good, once I got my expectations in place. I completely agree with meticulously crafted. A lot of the better blacker metal is "indie", meaning it's recorded in teenagers' basements, so sounds atrocious -- I can actually make everything out. So...yay! You should also try to find Garden of Shadows. Only two albums from the 90's, but easily the best sounding extreme metal I've heard. I used to know one of the guys (who didn't appear on either album) vaguely, and he said they spent a lot of money on good equipment to make it sound good. Having the overhead on the mixing board and an engineer who knows what he's doing is surprisingly important in "busy" music like this.

No, it's about zombies and bloggers. It's actually a brilliant title for the book, considering. It's what drew me to the series to begin with. Yeah, Feed was outstanding. Deadline gets a little mopey, but Blackout makes it worth reading the entire trilogy. I'm all caught up on October Daye, myself, but I've got Parasite next on the Seanan McGuire/Mira Grant shelf, when next I get around to reading something by her. Oh, and me: I finally started The Ocean at the End of the Lane. Still working my way through Declare electronically.

Danke schoen.

Did you just turn 18/21/age-of-consent-in-your-country? What is an "adult filter"? Does it prevent things like Facebook getting installed on your phone?

Sorry if some repeats.

What the L is that? And why do I already want it, not even knowing what it is? It's probably just a cache in front of a disk array or a server or something, but in my mind it was something else. Still one of my favourites:

I got the Spirit GT-Pro because it's totally totable and full-scale, so I could practice wherever. Not that I ever did, but I did tote it all around. You're welcome to borrow it, if you want to see if it's worthy of lessons.

You really don't need anything else besides this version I'm listening to Steve Hauschildt, which is very Tangerine-Dream-y.

Yeah, love her, putting it on ASAP.

I've done that.

Yes, it went away.

It's doing weird stereo panning things, like the L+R/L-R encoding/decoding thing wasn't set up quite correctly.
