Anyone else want in?
Will put the names later today, and will post the review to my trade tomorrow.
 
Noted and noted!

I'm thinking favourite cover art for the theme this time round. It'll be interesting seeing what people come up with for that at least...
 
By all means, take your time!
I feel kind of bad being so quick about it, but I listened to the albums you sent quite a lot in that time. :D
 
Nah, there's no criteria for this one. The next trade will have a theme though, the one after that won't, and so on. As for how to swap albums, this post should be of some help to ya (skip the first step and you're basically there).
 
Glad you liked it. If you really did wanna check out more then a name I would suggest is Yuki Kajiura, who composed the OST I sent you, along with many others. I think Noir is the best one she's done, but everything she works on is incredibly high-quality stuff. I only sent you part 1 of that soundtrack, but part 2 is just as good, and her work on the .Hack//Liminality soundtrack is awesome as well if you're so inclined. :D

I'm gonna give what you sent one more listen tonight and then review it on here tomorrow.
 
:laughing: Me and +81 again. This time I have something that should be much more suited to your tastes, I believe. Can I send something that applies to the theme in band name only? I don't really have any actual Christmas albums.

Ok, Wintersleep's s/t album. The album opened with Lipstick, my favorite song, which has an atmospheric, hopeful feel to it that introduces you to the album well. Paul Murphy sings loud to be heard over the noisy chugging guitars. The second song, and my second favorite, Jaws of Life, is similar to the first but with a loud chorus, quiet verse structure. Danse Macabre follows the pattern used in these songs as well. Nerves Normal, Breath Normal starts off with a tarabourine jangle and Murphy singing slowly over a repeating guitar riff, before the song slows down and then builRAB up to the louder sound on some of the other songs. Migration was a really cool song that started off somewhat slow and then adRAB in distorted guitars and a group singing along with Murphy da da, da, da, da, da. A Long Flight starts out with only singing and acoustic guitar with a quiet background sound of some sort. He sticks with this for about the first 3 minutes, and then the distorted guitars and drums kick in which is just beautiful. Overall, the album was a cool fusion of indie rock and post rock I guess that I really enjoyed, and they were excellent at creating songs that started off soft and built into something fantastic. The drummer did a lot of pretty free drumming stuff too which was cool. I have to admit, the musicians were a lot more talented than those in a lot of the crappy indie rock stuff I listened to for a while and it really shows.
 
I'm glad you liked both of them... if you didn't find a good copy, I'll try to see where I got mine and send you the link.

Btw, if you're still in the mood for some of the oriental sounRAB, I've been delving a lot into the local underground scene. I can send you some links if I found anything in that style.
