Just went to Borders and bought Jets To Brazil - Perfecting Loneliness. Anyone who likes mellow, catchy, piano-driven rock will love Jets To Brazil.

What was the last CD you bought?

Visions Of Atlantis - Cast Away

Very unknown, yet amazing metalband. Great female vocals, and solid male ones too - though definitely not living up to the female ones. They supported Nightwish a while back, and from what I've heard, their performances were about as good as eachother.

Bjork - Medulla
AC/DC - TNT and Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap.

Love the Bjork album, and the AC/DC ones I've had on tape since 1988, so thought it might be time to get them on CD.

Oh, and MentatMM, you just reminded me to put some of my dad's Enya CD's on my iPod. Cheers!

I don't know who Rahzel is, but it's not spoken word. About 90% is all vocals and synths using vocal samples. There are some beats that are most likely made with vocals. I never paid any attention to bjork until I heard that Oceana song on the radio. Loved it - bought the CD.

I ordered Trey Anastasio's self titled album a couple days ago.

Wilco - A Ghost Is Born (off of iTunes)

Wilco is a great (albeit not well known) band with a style all their own. A Ghost Is Born won the Grammy for best alternative album this year, and for good reason.

Tomorrow, I'm going to buy Wish You Were Here, by Pink Floyd.

Uhh, I think it was the "Oh Brother Where Art Thou" soundtrack.. I usually buy my music on iTunes.
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

Not well known? I'd say they are pretty well-known.

They are great though. Yankee Hotel Foxtrot and Summerteeth are great albums.
I haven't been as impressed with what I've heard from A Ghost is Born though.

Well, in comparison to other bands of the genre, they aren't well known... And their records, while somewhat sucessful, don't sell outstandingly... Well, whatever. They're a good band, and that's all that matters. :)

2005-03-09, 10:23 PM #39
I guess I consider them successful because most alternative bands don't get any mainstream coverage, while Wilco has gotten quite a bit in comparison.

I don't know if I could even put them in a genre. The band that I think they're most similar to now is Neutral Milk Hotel.

You might want to check out Uncle Tupelo. That was the band Jeff Tweedy was in before he formed Wilco. They're kind of different- less weird, and more folkish and also much more rocking out.

On the subject of CDs the last CD I bought was '3 Inches Of Blood - Advance and Vanquish' it sound okay, but only listened to it once.

As for mellow music, I take it that this band is like The Smashing Pumpkins and Lit (only heard a few tracks). So is this a must buy?
