Isis - Wavering Radiant

I managed to get an earlier appointment for my impressions, had them done yesterday, sent them out today. Now for the wait.

Sorry, meant to reply to this earlier, I don't have much in these genres with female vocals, you could try what I'm listening to now: Black Math Horseman - Wyllt

Bohren & der Club of Gore - Black Earth

Dadawa - Sister Drum This has been one of my staples for testing gear ever since the owner of Swan's Speakers introduced me to it in the early to mid 90's. I typically use it to test for dynamics, massed vocals and instrumentation as well as bass, plus it's just some really good music.

Elbow - Asleep In The Back

If you liked Pelican I'd also recommend Russian Circles, My Sleeping Karma, Red Sparowes, Wiht, TotorRo, Sleep and Zebulon Pike for mainly instrumental stuff. I don't tend to like growling vocals much myself so you might like Shrinebuilder, Gomer Pyle, WhiteBuzz, or Ancestors. That's kind of a varied list as it takes in a bit of stoner, doom and sludge.

X2

Black Math Horseman - Wyllt

David Sylvian - Secrets of the Beehive

Mogwai - The Hawk Is Howling

Got a reply from Brittany. Ordered! On a side note, $75 shipping to Canada!!

Tried calling but just got the answering machine, I sent Brittany an email but if I don't get a reply I'll just have to order.

OHHHH! I've been hoping to hit a sale price but my appointment for impressions isn't until June 3rd... Can I buy now and send the impressions in that late?

That was great, thanks! I went on a kick a few years back to track down some of the old metal, punk and hardcore I listened to when I was younger. I had a heck of a time finding some things, Slow and Problem Children were the hardest, I did find the Slow EP a few months back and just found some old Problem Children today (this reminded me to look again). If you or anyone else wants them PM me.

It's been ages since I heard that album, I may have to do some rooting around. Did you ever hear of a Vancouver band from that era named Slow? They had somewhat of big song "Have Not Been The Same"

Grails - Black Tar Prophecies 1, 2 & 3 Good early morning music.

Gomer Pyle - Idiots Savants

Hope you have a great day!

That's all kinds of awesome! Edit: Oh and... Pelican - City Of Echoes

So are you actually able to use the DAC that way? I know I'd seen the connector and wondered but there was speculation on the power end of things.

Isis - Oceanic

Iron & Wine - Live At Edman Memorial Chapel, Wheaton College, Il For any Iron & Wine fans that are unfamiliar, most Iron & Wine live concerts are recorded and available to buy through Played Last Night.com. I have a few and the quality does vary but most seem to be good to excellent. This recording is particularly interesting as it is essentially Sam Beam playing solo at a Christian college. It's an incredibly intimate and beautiful recording that is of outstanding quality, I'd recommend paying the extra to get this one in FLAC.

Iron & Wine with Calexico - In The Reins
