toca's miracle
Kontor - House of House Vol. 4

Wow ... I love this song, well I love every song that follows as well, still, indeed a miracle to see it on the top though. I have listened a lot to songs taken from this album and most of them stayed on my mp3 player for months. I'd like to describe why this song impressed me so much, I cant though. There is nothing outstanding about this song, maybe its exactly this why I had to press the repeat button in Mediamonkey whenever the song was about to stop. Solid beat through the whole song, calm voice, lyrics ok, atmospheric touch at the end of the song ... sometimes less is more.

Kontor - House of House Vol. 4

Phew ... the next song from the same album on place 2 of my yearly charts. That song is just incredibly relaxing, how the mix of the beat and the soothing voices play together. I was immediately fascinated by this song when I heard it at work the first time.




Therion
kali yuga II
Sirius B

Amazing chorus ...

Kali Ma, Great Durga, black guna of Maya ... See the signs in the end of kala in the yuga

this still gives me the chill whenever I listen to this song. Perfect harmony between the choir, guitars, drums ... a masterpiece by Therion.



Colonia
covjek s 2 lica
Pod Stretnom Zvijezdom

Is this love ? ... oh yeah, it is. A love dedicated to Turbo Folk and all its extraordinary singers and bands. Amazing intro, great beat through the whole song, the powerful voice of Ira and a touch of Eurodance. That song accompanied me the weeks before, during and after the trip to Prague for the Iron Maiden concert, both will last forever in my memories.



Paola & Chiara
tu sei il futuro
Win The Game

A fantastic track from their latest album, great beat, 2 beautiful voices that play so well together, awesome "futuristic" keyboard in the background during the chorus ... first class song.

A nice selection to start the day, I had to stop after Stratovarius for another Christmas appointment, just being drawn into a vision of Rush of the future when I was coming back to continue. A little shock there as Mediamonkey crashed completely and it wasnt possible to start it again, a nightmare embraced me imagining another loss of the database. Its all well though, just needed a PC restart.

No sign yet that Indira is coming for another perfomance to Nachtwerk in 2009, but 2009 is just about to begin, in the meanwhile there is of course her appearance in Today.

potters field
ANTHRAX
(SOUND OF WHITE NOISE)
mein Lieblingsalbum der Band. heavy, kraftvoll und breitschultrig

a crescendo of passion bleeding
CRADLE OF FILTH
(THE PRINCIPLE OF EVIL MADE FLESH)
Satans Flitzefinger in damals noch bescheidenem Sound

mystery
DIO
(THE LAST IN LINE)
unverkennbare Stimme, schön altmodisch, nett hymnisch (vielleicht ein bisschen ZU hymnisch). hab auch gemerkt, dass ich scheinbar eine verkorste Version dieses Songs habe...

trail of fear
DISPATCHED
(MOTHERWAR)
klasse Anfangsriff, dann ein akustisches Break, das man wahlweise "kreativ" oder eben "unpassend" und "seltsam" nennen kann. gute Melodien, aber irgendwie komisch.

damnation (raping the angels)
IMPALED NAZARENE
(DECADE OF DECADENCE)
sehr unweihnachtliches Rumpeln ohne erkennenswerte Höhepunkte

day of redemption
NORTHER
DEATH UNLIMITED
und nochmal Norther's "Death Unlimited", heute aber langsamer und mit amateurhaften Keyboards. sorry, da geht echt gar nix.

good-night, you kings of new england
RACHEL PORTMAN
(THE CIDER HOUSE RULES SOUNDTRACK)
klingt sehr viel weihnachtlicher als Impaled Nazarene

arche
SUBWAY TO SALLY
(MCMXCV)
das Intro klingt wie Soulsisters "the way to your heart", ist es dann aber nicht. mit gutem Willen Folk Rock, mit schlechtem nervig.

o rosental
MGV SCHNEEROSE ST. MARGARETEN
(20 SPITZENCHÖRE)
eines der tollsten Kärntnerlieder, oder zumindest eines von denen, die ich am liebsten habe

i'm lonely
SCOOTER
(DREAM DANCE VOL. 48)
wahrscheinlich das Schlimmste, was einem im Anschluss an ein Kärntnerlied passieren kann. computerverzerrte Gnom-Stimmen gehen ja gar nicht. grässlich.

flames of thy power (from blood they rise)
VIRGIN STEELE
(HYMNS TO VICTORY)
typisch gut, typisch DeFeis. leider auch mit typisch komischem Sound.

can't f*** with queen bee
LIL' KIM
(LA BELLA MAFIA)
ihr Soul-Song. egal ob die spinnt oder nicht, ihre Stimme ist unendlich cool.

pass the courvoisier, part II
BUSTA RHYMES feat. P. DIDDY & PHARRELL
und hier das Gegenbeispiel. bisschen öd, keine Funken

deathchrist
WARHAMMER
(DEATHCHRIST)
klingen tatsächlich wie Hellhammer. somit Operation geglückt.


--Sapnish--

A bit breaking the habit, I try a new format for today's Today - to not get bored while reading (or posting). And I try another language, too.

death unlimited
NORTHER
(DEATH UNLIMITED)
schnell und melodisch, leider unterstützt von unangenehmem Gekreische

the naughty song
CORY LEE
(THE L-WORD SEASON 3 SOUNDTRACK)
naughty, soso. nicht nur the l-word, auch the f-word.

four seasons
WORLD OF SILENCE
(MINDSCAPES)
behäbig und progressiv, phasenweise verspielt. und nicht so irre spannend.

rescue me
MADONNA
(THE IMMACULATE COLLECTION)
durchschnittlich und esoterisch pumpend

marching to the beat
MENTAL HARAKIRI
(PEDAL TO THE METAL)
sehr bemüht eigenständig, dabei wahlweise "interessant" oder "seltsam"

and the little things that make us smile
...AND OCEANS
(CYPHER)
von lächeln kann hier wohl keine Rede sein... ratternder Cyberspace Metal. nicht angenehm zu hören, aber ist wohl so gedacht.

speed
ANGRA
(FIREWORKS)
Melodic Speed Metal-Attacke aus Brasilien, himmelhoch jauchzend: Andre Matos

always
BON JOVI
(THIS LEFT FEELS RIGHT)
alternative Version des Schmachtfetzens - müsste man ob der verkitschten Produktion eigentlich hassen, aber besonders der Refrain ist wirklich schön.

scarab
IHSAHN
(ANGL)
einfach (schwierig) Ihsahn.

aşk aşk aşk
NADIDE SULTAN
(AŞKTAN ÖLSEM)
geniales Intro und flotter Track, hörenswert

belief
NEUROSIS
(TIMES OF GRACE)
Gebrüll in Wellenform.

strange
TORI AMOS
(SCARLET'S WALK)
schön, warm und gefühlvoll

truth and understanding
RON KAVANA & THE ALIAS ACOUSTIC BAND
(IRISH SONGS OF REBELLION, RESISTANCE & RECONSILIATION 1798-1998)
Ireland.

storm detonation
ZYKLON
(WORLD OV WORMS)
Kla(n)gwelten. nichts verstanden, leider.

Little spurts of insanity?

Do you think it's alarming if someone, let's call the person "Napnish" (name altered), is one week away from PC, MediaMonkey and last.fm, and listens to music away from all these things via mp3 player, and brings the backup external hard drive with all mp3s, and not only installs MediaMonkey on the PC of Napnish's mum so that "today" can be used, but also thinks about re-playing the songs that were listened (mp3 player) on mum's PC MediaMonkey incl. last.fm script, so that they can be scrobbled and show up in the last.fm charts?

Is this still adorable music-nerdness, or is it dangerous? Does Napnish need professional help, or praise for accurateness?
