It's still catchy shit.

However, I'd be probably alone, but the new Demetori disappointed me, still good stuff but pretty generic and kinda boring after 2 awaited years. ;_;

[Samir]

I gave Ale & Malt a spin. It's too damn catchy. Folk & electro blend well, although I'm a real sucker for this type of folk.
Same story with Cafe de Touhou 3 and 東方猫鍵盤4. They're full of awesomeness and win, and will be on the iPod at all times.

I don't know what to think of Foreground Eclipse's work yet. It's pretty fun, but the mixing feels off. Not to start nitpicking about EQ, but there's probably a bit too much attack on the percussion and the bass is not really present. Perhaps that's why I can't enjoy it fully.
IZMIZM & Undead Corporation on top of all this will cause nnnnggggggg. I hope they appear soon.

What caused the improved production level? Did circles decide to invest in professional equipment, is it related to competitiveness or neither? I skipped entire circles because of the low/average quality in the past, although the music was already good about 2 years ago. Let's hope 2012 has surprises for us in store, because for me this is on average the best set that ever got out.

Special thanks to the contributors on DS and the japanese boards as well. You guys really have a positive influence on my playlist. And music is life, y'know.

Just listened to t+pazolite's new solo album.

holy SHIT it's awesome.

[duocean3]

Xi-on , DDBY, Floating Cloud,...still keep their quality in my opinion.
Yellow Zebra and their M-1 grand prix still godly, and now i have to find the roll staff song.

[72ush]

EVERYTHING IS SO GOOD WTF MAN

[ET20]

i'm looking forward to Undead Corporation, Thousand Leaves, Kissing the Mirror and Blankfield.

Hopefully Kissing the Mirror didn't do another rap/metal cd...

[hollow999]

So far I'm actually digging sound online's "a couple of time", icarus's warfare, IA/00, K-waves Lab, Foxtail grass studio's "remember c winter", And obviously Demetori's new one.

im just gonna call it now and say that this one is probably gonna be remembered as the comiket that demetori released a new one (for some people anyway)

Ghost Region from ALiCE was also a let-down compared to Deeper Underground imo
Otherwise, I'm really liking these so far.

Eh, I haven't been keeping up with redalice lately but Its ok. Not blowing my mind, like at all, but points for the "Futatsuiwa From Sado" Remix

Are CROW'SCLAW/Taka's vocalists even supposed to be good, I can't tell cuz imo it sounds pretty fucking average/bad and I feel like everybody who loves the new album is just a fanboy, you know the same way I'm a Demetori fanboy but at least it's not half bad compared to these vocals

Agreed. Vocal crows claw is the worst crows claw imo.


Haven't heard DDBY just yet.
Can't wait for thousand leaves, BLANKFIELD, ShoujoByou, Flap+frog, Dangerous Mezashi Cat, Kissing The Mirror,Yellow Zebra's swansong album and am currently bracing myself for *gulp* THREE New Silver Forest albums.

Want to listen to but my internet is so shitty right now: MELODIC TASTE ;_;

[72ush]

HOLY SHIT, Noriko Mitose is a vocalist for BOTH of the upcoming WAVE albums, what the fuck LOL (She is of somewhat fame, mostly from Chrono Cross / Ar Tonelico)

FUCK THERE'S SO MUCH THAT I WANT

[Pessimist]

Still no Izmizm?

*twitches*

xi-on will keep me going for now..

You are kidding me. Really? GOD DAMMIT I WANT THEM MORE NOW. Thanks for the heads up.

[oceanbound]

I've had a busy Christmas and only had time to listen to Demetori (4.5/5), void (4) and xi-on (3.5). But since I'm curious...

If I hated Haunted Dancehall, would I like the new Alstro, inquiring minds must know.

i didn't like haunted dancehall either. I'd say the new one is better, but still not great.

[LiChE]

cant wait for more albums to be upped

This, but I think I'm the only one who liked Haunted Dancehall

[72ush]

Haunted Dancehall was ok for me, like 3-4 tracks I actually kept. But Killed Dancehall is definitely a step up from before. Still, it is AR standards so it probably won't make your jaw drop but personally I enjoyed Killed Dancehall.

[k336]

Colorium

So

GOOD

[DearEngineer]

Sound Holic feat. 709sec is pretty sweet. As far as Rock Male Vocals go, it's a very good doujin release. The instrumentation however, is sheer wonders. The guitar works and solos are a thing of beauty. It's definitely worth checking out.

[72ush]

when will this come back



WOOMING AT HIS FINEST

like Unlucky Morpheus is back, WHY NOT KTM/SOH

[Devolted]

Anticipating pastyle, IZMIZM, and maybe RoughSketch's Doppelganger Genocide. I want my delicious DnB.

On an unrelated note, what is with the sudden doom boom of dub in the scene? I'm judging from the crossfades btw.

i favorite for kissing the mirror is " Your Death Will Never Come " from Blade of Ancient Temple

- info is wrong on that vid

at least they didn't do "rapcore" this time. my only wish is that they start adding lyrics into their booklets

-

Warinside/Blankfield didn't let me down. i haven't listened to Sound of Heaven, Iron Attack or Undead Corporation.
