Infected Mushroom - Vicious Delicious
Infected Mushroom is a psychedelic trance duo originally from northern Israel that has gained quite a bit of international acclaim since its first album release in 1999. That's really the end of what I know about them, and their genre. Having listened to the album, I can't personally say I'm a fan, and I come away with little to no understanding of the whole genre which is of course not surprising. Darkfall Radio could certainly do with a commentator or staff member who isn't so averse to this genre as I am. Nonetheless, after having been recommended this band on at least a dozen occasions I felt it obligatory to at least have one of the albums available on the radio. Most of the songs were too long for broadcasting, but radio length edits allowed us to put up at least a few of their songs onto the database.
I'm guessing "Becoming Insane" is their most popular track from the album, but I just wouldn't know. So here's pie in your face.

My Bloody Valentine - Loveless
At the turn of the 1990s, coming from Dublin, My Bloody Valentine may be one of the most obscure bands of the time. Dropping off the face of the planet after their 1991 release of Loveless, at least from the music recording scene, the band has been the subject of recording rumors, speculation, and forlorn fans for over 15 years. Yes, it's an old album, but also one of my old favorites and I believe one that needs to be up on the radio. Something of a post-punk alternative band, My Bloody Valentine was far ahead of its time paving the road for a style known as "shoegazing" (named for the standing still and looking at the floor while performing) that almost directly evolved into modern progressive rock. Although an indie band, as most from the genre would be expected to be, My Bloody Valentine shows a repertoire of skills and style that emulate the modern styles that they predate, and all wrapped up in a serene listening experience.
We've added four tracks from the album to the radio's playlist. Particular of note would be "When You Sleep", and it comes highly recommended from yours truly.Charles Foster on Sunday 05 August 2007 - 22:08:41 Read/Post Comment: 2
Nine Inch Nails - With Teeth and Year Zero
Nine Inch Nails. For what poor soul did NIN fail to provide entertainment during the 90s? Truly one of the legendary bands of the Industrial, if not Popular, music culture. Trent Reznor has lead Nine Inch Nails through more than a decade of ups, downs, and gut wrenching plummets. Truth be told, after the release of The Fragile I had thrown NIN on the back burner of music. But then again, who didn't? In fact, the release of With Teeth, despite its success, barely came to my attention... and even as it did, only by a chance encounter with it on the local radio.
The release of Year Zero, a look into the not-so-distant future and a fictional dystopia born of corruption and political conquest, came with great acclaim from those I would consider reliable music critics, and friends of mine. Despite what is usually my better judgment, I was compelled to purchase the album and give it a few revolutions in Ye Olde CD-ROM. An act I've yet to regret, and one that encouraged me to back track and listen to the previous album, With Teeth, in depth.
Not only has NIN recovered from its slump, which I would have amounted to little more than noise in a jewel case, they've in my estimation completely redeemed their selves. Trent Reznor composed a song with an egg beater. A fucking egg beater. Oh how naive I was to consider NIN a musical relic of the past. If creating musical bliss with household kitchen appliances isn't the very definition of progressive, I don't know what is.
Our music database has been updated with various choice tracks from these albums, and I demand that you immediately check out "Sunspots", or as I like to call it "Musical Egg Beaters".
I'll spare any readers my praise and various lamentations over this album duo, as anyone who needs an introduction on Nine Inch Nails is hardly qualified to even view this website. Know, however, that I have seen the return of Trent Reznor and his merry men, and it is good.Charles Foster on Saturday 14 April 2007 - 12:09:33 Read/Post Comment: 0
