Matmos - Very large Green Triangles
This is a very cool video, and the music is great...Matmos is now on my "must get" list of music:

St. Vincent - Marrow
I've become a real fan of St. Vincent after discovering her by way of her collaboration with David Byrne on "Love This Giant." Here's one of her own, "Marrow:"

NightTaxiRide "Between 4 and 5"
Haven't posted any cool stuff from Jamendo lately. Here's one I absolutely loved:

Love This Giant Download and free copy of "Who"
More precisely, love David Byrne's and St. VIncent's new album, which I linked the video to "Who" a couple days back. You can go to the website here for a free download of "Who" if you liked it, and the album is officially available tomorrow (or today if you buy now).
The video sold me, although I've always been a Byrne/Talking Heads fan. Throw a little light-hearted "David Lynch tries for comedy" into the video and watch my money magically depart my wallet into yours. Walla!
Ah, music. Reaffirming that my circle of fun isn't 100% dominated by D&D and Mass Effect.

La Bestia Scarlatta Con Sette Teste
I love Vimeo, the strangest stuff shows up there. Real quick, the following music video from Get Well Soon is probably NSFW as there's some brief nudity and it's basically ...I think, anyway....a music video designed to look like a either a trailer for or highly abridged mashup of a Hammer Horror / Italian Western / Werid 70's Sci Fi action flick called "La Bestia Scarlatta Con Sette Teste," complete with cheesy special effects, weird bit characters, outlandish constumes and obligatory brief nudity. Check it out, if you dare...

Holdin' on to Black Metal
Love this video. Oh, happy Saturday! Let us all rejoice in the ritual sacrifice of whole grains to the Gods of the Morning Dawn, may they stave off the inevitable zombie apocalypse just one more day.

Steamrolling through Steam. Also, Juno Reactor
I came across Boathammer, in which boatorious is attempting to dedicate 6 hours to each Steam game he owns, and he owns something like 70 of them. This seems like a great idea....on the surface.
I own 412 games on Steam last time I checked. I don't think I could pull the same stunt off, as a massive number of those games come from bundle deals that I couldn't resist simply because I only wanted to get the 2 or 3 games in the pack that separately cost more than buying the pack on one of Steam's holiday sales. Also, because some of the games I ended up with over time are just hideous. Atrocious. Painful to play. Finally, and it goes without saying, not all games are worth 6 hours of time. And a few are worth a lot more.
I also have a bad habit of contributing to indie bundle deals; and those "pay what you want" indie deals. Which means I have accrued a large number of indie titles, but have also found that I have enjoyed maybe less than 10% of them in a meaningful way, and found most of them to be either drek or at best mildly entertaining for 5-10 minutes.
So yeah, I thought about doing something similar to what the guy in the blog is doing, then came to my senses.
But enough of Steam and computer games! Here's some more music:

Just discovered this group....they've got some great, eclectic stuff. Here's a sample.

Balrog Boogie
This isn't normally what I listen to (well, I guess what I normally listen to is kind of hard to define,so maybe it is) but I wanted to link it simply because the first song, Balrog Boogie, is such an impressive piece...:

Origin - Dreamer
Check it out, a very mellow and classic orchestral ensemble, parts of this kind of reminds me a bit of the old days of Fresh Aire (remember those albums?), but with a modern downtempo twist. Anyway, I absolutely love this music, its evocative and interesting in all the right ways:

Emitremmus - Nuclearization
You know, I just realized that although I found this great jem of Fallout-inspired post apocalyptic music a while back, I don't think I've mentioned it on the blog yet. So without further adieu, here is Emitremmus: Nuclearization: Voyage in the Post-Atomic Unknown:

Olga Scotland: GRIMNIR Black Ops Frigate
More amazing music from Jamendo. The first piece is a great, upbeat and unique instrumental bit. If you are like me and have had enough of Xmas music, then enjoy! Also, Merry Xmas!

Sky Invaders
Another great discovery at Jamendo...this is a strong orchestral soundtrack that would fit any epic video game or provide great mood music for an SF campaign:

Tryad
Have I talked about Tryad yet? This is some great music here....a mix of modern electronic with more traditional mediums, creating a very atmospheric soundtrack-like experience. If you like Enigma, downtempo music, and a fusion of more conventional instrumental noises with electronica, Tryad will be right up your alley:

Xcyril Stargate Odyssea and Others
Xcyril is a group I discovered a while back, but I stumbled across this great album whle investigating "soundtrack" in Jamendo's tags system. Good stuff:
I had previously also found their Alter Ego album, also well worth listening to:
Anyway, you can see all of Xcyril here.

Epic Soul Factory
More Jamendo weekend madness! Check out Epic Soul Factory, which has produced what sounds for all purposes like a big-budget summer action flick soundtrack (just minus the movie) or maybe a lengthy CRPG soundtrack (minus the 50+ hour game). Fun stuff, and might easily work work a background soundtrack in gaming:

Hu Creix The present Forward
A new album by Hu Creix, now up on Jamendo! I love Creix, been collecting what they release for a while now, some really interesting experimental electronica.
