Boris - Japanese Heavy Rock Hits Vol. 4 [7"] (2009) [24.96FLAC/FLAC/V0]

Here it is, surprise. Unlike the others this is just one song. Despite being very pop-rockish, mellowing out towards the end, it's actually quite listenable, nothing I'd keep on repeat for too long though. Wata shares her very average singing voice, sorry, she's a great guitarist but I really don't see why so many of the Boris fans want her to do more vocals.

At first I thought this whole 7" series was quite ridiculous, it seemed more like a folly to print expensive exclusive releases without actually much content. Now, I'm actually quite glad they didn't make an album out of these, it would've been a horrible album. Being a series of 7" singles it never really aroused much anticipation or expectation and is therefore a great excuse for being less than stellar. I understand that sometimes you just want to release material without having that perfectionist burden hanging over your shoulders, at least that's how I'd feel. I wouldn't pay 100$ for this on ebay myself, am I really that bad for wanting to listen to it anyway? Perhaps I am.

The Bear Quartet - 89 (2009) [V2]

The new album of Bear Quartet. It delivers a little of that darker experimental stuff we hear on Eternity Now but it's mostly in a much more accessible pop or rock format which I don't care for much. Anyway Bear Quartet is a band I respect despite releasing albums like these, and I'd listen pretty much anything they'd decide to release anyway.

Jean Michel Jarre - Oxygene (1976/2007) [V0]

I lied, here's another nostalgia album. This is the 2007 remaster for the classic pioneer electronic album from 1976. Impressive 100% synth, I want to call it ambient, it also has these catchy parts.

Uploaded for a friend.

Studio - West Coast (2007) [V0]

Mediterranean music from Sweden. Actual original release in 2006 on vinyl, but the CD was released in 2007. Thanks to uggabugga who pretty much single-handedly gave me hope about pop music.

The Bear Quartet - Eternity Now (2006) [FLAC&v0]

Here's something for the pretentiousandlistentobandsfromaforeigncountrirdtoseemobscure hipsterfaggots. Technically I don't fit into this classification of hipsterfaggot as this band is not foreign to me. Swedish indie band goes experimental, disregards a lot what is typically seen as "musical" and manages to get alienated by large parts of their fanbase. It's hilarious, and this is their by far best album. Experimental pop.

I also wrote a review on this ages ago, I'll see if I can dig it up...

Ah, I found it, but nevermind, it was just deranged ramblings.
