Explosions In The Sky...spreading the blast!

I've been listening to Explosions In The Sky for almost a week now...(thanks to Tung) and seriously, the music is generally contemplative. It can make you reflect on what has happened and feel shallow at the same time. It's the product of an unpredictable life, one that has its ups and downs more than anyone of us could handle.

Recommended albums:

The Rescue (2005)
















This album, in general, is calming to the senses and soothing to the ears. I would especially recommend Day 1, Day 2, Day 5, Day 6 & Day 7 as the music is more harmonised in those tracks. The drum beats aren't as jarring as the ones in metal and hard rock...in fact, it blends very well with the music.
A good download!

The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place (2003)
















The cover of this record does not appeal to most, especially the choice of colours. But what astounds me is the meaning behind the cover...the almost endless repetition of the phrase 'The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place' in black with the artiste's name in RED. This explains the contrast of colours, hence the name of this album.

All songs, except the last track are interrelated as one track continues from the previous. It sort of explains a story within another.
The music here is more intense, too, as EiTS tries to capture the storyline within the tracks.
A good album for those who would like something out of the ordinary. ;)

You can download the tracks here....although not all tracks from The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place can be obtained there. Just click on Albums and select the album you like! ;)

I could only provide a general review of this so as not to interfere with my friend's, and I think I'd better run before I get sued....:P

Status Change

From this post onwards, I will only post general raves and opinions here.

This is because Blogger is a bit too transparent and prone to vulnerabilities...I could even find my blog in Google search!
Heck...

I would post more personal stuff in LJ.

I'm not going to make it friends only now, so you can read all posts until I'm evil enough to restrict access to them. ;)
