Darkest Hour - Hidden Hands of a Sadist Nation [Limited Edition]

Got it at Wal-Mart for TEN DOLLA. Man, I love stuff that's around 10 bucks or under... Movies or music, whatever. LS&TSB, Donnie Darko, Frailty... DVDs for $10. Unearth CD (a full length album), this album, just about any of the metal albums from Willowtip...$10. Wonderful.

Hell, even during the second time watching it, I had to have the subtitles on just to understand what they were saying.

And an album I haven't yet listened to. Been meaning to...just haven't...done so.

Oh, and I adore Air's Talkie Walkie, and Telefon Tel Aviv's Map of What Is Effortless is swankalicious electronic muzaak as well.

But luckily, a lot of the metal albums they sell, they don't have PA stickers. They're not totally mainstream, but they've certainly been played on Headbangers Ball and Uranium. What I really dig is turning on DIRECTV and going to the Music Choice Metal channel. I've heard a lot of great stuff on it. It pleases me...

Man, Headbangers Ball... That show can kick ass sometimes. Unearth co-hosted a month or so ago, and they played so many metalcore videos. Mastodon hosted once but I didn't get to see that.



Update (Sep. 29 - fuckin' A, this is irritating, having to EDIT my post everytime I take home a new haul 'cos not enough people post ;p)

Coil - Spring Equinox: Moon's Milk or Under an Unquiet Skull
Coil - Summer Solstice: Bee Stings

I'll soon be receiving a large haul of Coil and Skinny Puppy CDs, and other things. ;p I'll post that when it comes...

Definitely looking forward to Reise, Reise... Hoping it's on par with or perhaps better than Mutter, which is an excellent album.

I've not bothered yet to listen to Ensiferum, so I cannot say. But considering NIN's Downward Spiral has been my favorite album for years, I doubt it'll change.

Or if you wanted, Legion, you could get it from Bull Moose for $11.24 (shipping included if you go the cheap, effective media mail choice). Sorry, just gotta plug this great online store one more time.

Klick hier!

iTunes for PC, baby. For playing MP3s and WAVs. OGGs and SPCs and such are for Winamp v2.81. And forget Windows Media Player unless I'm watching videos.

I like having iTunes full screen. There's a mini-player too, but I prefer not to use it.

It's a nifty feature, but one I'm not fully ready to use yet. See, I have an Assorted Songs folder where the tags of a lot of those MP3s are really screwy. It'll be quite a task to really organize them. Something about getting those out of the way to feel clean and fresh...

And how I enjoy Cradle of Filth. Very good songwriting, and I like Dani's transitions from black to death vocals.

Looking forward to their new album. I think it's already been released.

Can't say I've ever paid attention to Green Day, or that I'd enjoy them if I did...but I like their idea of releasing blank CD-Rs that have the same artwork as all their major albums. It's supposedly for those people who buy the music as MP3s and want to burn their own hard copies and have them look nice, but it'd also be nice to burn a copy for a friend or what have you. Either way, I think it's nifty.

And maybe they'll have it so you can purchase the CD insert and back cover, to make it look really professional. That would be cool. Maybe just have downloadable pictures of the artwork too, for those who want to print it out themselves on crude paper or fancy stuff, and have that available. Would be neat...

I just...can't describe them. They're mad! Listening to Disco Volante right now, on the song "Ma Meeshka Mow Skwoz". It's wild. I loooooove Trey Spruance! I have an album by another band of his, Secret Chiefs 3, called Book of Horizons, which is great...just lovely.

Wow... Anyone else into Mr. Bungle or SC3 or any of the stuff Mike Patton's involved with?

AMG tells me that would be California. I've just downloaded it. ;P Will probably listen to it in a bit.

Posted on 09-30-04 02:58 PM, in Video game music downloads Link
I thought it would be great if we all could link to any on-site downloads or name what we have to possibly share with others via AIM or Soulseek and such like that. I say this because I've recently been taking video game soundtracks and ripping them to MP3s on my hard drive, and am finding it very convenient to listen to them all in iTunes. Video game music is a VERY legit and non-nerdy form of music, and there's so much of it I want to hear.

If any admins find it appropriate to put this in the Movies/TV/Entertainment forum, please, I urge you not to. More eyes will see it if it's posted here! This is where the board's video game fans collect. It's only appropriate to stay here.

Right! So some sites that may be interesting to some are listed below:

- Doom Depot
A site maintained by a guy I know, Elbryan42. Go to the Doom Music section and you'll be able to download his excellent quality rips of Aubrey Hodges' scores for DOOM 64 and the PlayStation version of DOOM. Hodges does a very ambient score (as opposed to Bobby Prince's original musical score - by the way, you can download those as MP3s too, originally available from Doomworld), and does a damn fine job of it. There are other downloads of other DOOM games on other platforms, so check it out.

- Kong in Concert
An OverClocked ReMix project of reinterpretations of music from the first Donkey Kong Country. I haven't heard it yet, but I'm downloading the torrent right now. (The torrent consists of WAVs. If you don't want WAVs, I'd suggest downloading the OGGs, which you can play in Winamp. OGGs are higher in sound quality but also take up less hard drive space than MP3s. [You can have OGGs the same file size as MP3s but of superior quality, or you can have the same quality but take up lesser space.] DOOM 3 uses the OGG format for all its audio, so if the revolutionary id Software is using it, then it must be good!) My buddy SnappleMan did a remix for this project, and he said it's a great album, so I'm downloading it for sure.

- Metroid Metal
Hell yeah! NES Metroid's music done in timeless metal fashion, all performed by my online acquaintance Stemage. Totally rad stuff, and I believe he intends to do the same with Metroid II and Super Metroid.

- The Castlevania Dungeon
Download all of the Castlevania soundtracks in the Media section.

- Contra HQ
Same as above, but of the Contra series. I suggest the Contra: Shattered Soldier OST (which I own the CD to), as well as the extended versions of select tracks. (The OST cut back on some of the songs.)

I can't think of anything else, but that's where the help of other people comes in.

As far as MP3s I have, I have the following soundtracks (albums with "redbook audio" by them in parantheses means the PC CD-ROM has just that and that's what I ripped from ):

- Actraiser Symphonic Suite (Yuzo Koshiro's score, symphony style!)
- American McGee's Alice (not just the game's files, but the superior rearranged soundtrack CD by Chris Vrenna )
- Castlevania: Lament of Innocence Limited Edition Music Sampler (CD that came with pre-order of the game, contains tracks from the game as well as arranged versions of some of the GBA tunes, as well as rehashed tracks from SOTN; whole CD by Michiru Yamane; I also have the extra tracks from the Japanese version of the CD, labeled "Another Story", though I think those are available from The CV Dungeon [linked above])
- Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun Soundtrack (actual CD that came with the game)
- Descent II (redbook audio)
- Descent II: The Infinite Abyss; or, The Definitive Collection [disc 2] (redbook audio) - Windows Media Player labels this as The Moonblower EP, which is weird... I wonder where that came from. Anyway, I'm missing the very last track because my CD is scratched to hell.
- Descent II: Vertigo Series; or, The Definitive Collection [disc 3] (redbook audio) - One of the tracks on my CD skips, not sure which one... It'd be nice if someone who has these CDs could contact me.
- Diablo (Matt Uelmen's freakish score; I have it as WAVs)
- Diablo II + Bonus Tracks + Expansion: Lord of Destruction (Matt Uelmen's score, released as MP3s from Blizzard)
- Final Fantasy VII Sound Track (Nobuo Uematsu's score, across 4 CDs!)
- Hexen (redbook audio) - Kevin Schilder's MIDI score.
- James Bond: Tomorrow Never Dies OST (not a very interesting one, but maybe some are interested. Sonic Mayhem's rendition of the Bond theme is REAL KILLER!)
- Killer Instinct: Killer Cuts (the CD that came with the game soooo many years ago)
- The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask Soundtrack (Koji Kondo's score, 2 CDs, came with a purchase of the game + subscription to Nintendo Power if I remember)
- MechWarrior 2 + Expansion: Ghost Bear's Legacy + MW2: Mercenaries (redbook audio) - Can't remember the name of the guy who did these scores... Can anyone help?
- Quake (redbook audio) - The ambient score by Nine Inch Nails.
- Quake II (redbook audio) - The metal score, mostly by Sonic Mayhem.
- Quake 3 Arena: Noise (soundtrack CD release, techno/metal music by Sonic Mayhem, music from and inspired by QIIIA; this CD does not contain any of the material Front Line Assembly did for the game)
- Silent Hill 3 Official Soundtrack (CD that came with SH3 of Akira Yamaoka's score)
- Silent Hill 4: The Room Limited Edition Soundtrack (US-exclusive CD that came with pre-order of the game)

Right! Things I am currently LOOKING for are THESE (and I'd like all MP3s at preferrably 160 kbps, though 128 works too; send OGG files if you like):

- Donkey Kong Country 1 and 2 OSTs (the CDs released by Nintendo, I believe the DKC1 one is called DK Jamz! or something.)
- Conker's Bad Fur Day (Rare's website had MP3s for download long ago, and I downloaded them all...but erased most of them! Please send them )
- Eternal Darkness OST (Nintendo Power was selling a CD a while ago THAT I STUPIDLY NEVER GOT AROUND TO ORDERING! I want it.)
- Perfect Dark OST (there was a 2-CD set released years back, anyone got it?)
- Silent Hill 1 and 2 OSTs (the actual CD releases, please)
- Super Smash Bros. Melee (hopefully there are files recorded from the sound test in the game)

By the way, if you don't have the complete albums, don't bother. (Unless, say, you're only missing a couple tracks.)

Now, this whole business has potential to get real crazy real fast... Possibly, maybe? I don't want tons of people flooding me with requests for downloads, so I'll deny people if I see fit. I hope that's not a stupid, jerk-off thing to do or say, but please understand. Hopefully it won't get maddening though.

Right! So there ya 'ave it.

Problem is, a lot of the stuff is out of print and will often cost mad amounts of cash. And then there's the price of imports, and the fear of bumping into crappy bootlegs. And right now, I'm focusing on what I'd like to hear...not what I'd like to feel and look at. It'd certainly be nice to own certain things though.

So my longtime N64 memory card no longer works. It was a Performance one, 4x the size of a regular card. Well...third party blows so...I'm glad I learned a few years ago never to buy third party. But by that time...it was too late for my N64! :o So now I can't play Quake II, DOOM 64, Duke Nukem: Zero Hour, Turok: Dinosaur Hunter, Turok 2: Seeds of Evil, Castlevania, Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness, etc...all because of my defective card. And I really wanted to replay all those games. Hrumph.

Any idea where to get a sealed Nintendo brand memory card for a good price? And if you can name where to get new N64 games, that'd be great too. Only place I know of is Amazon Marketplace, and possibly eBay. GameStop? Hell if I know if they sell anything but used crap missing the box and manual...

Well fuck, if we're counting reissues, Black Box: The Complete Original Black Sabbath 1970-1978 craps on EVERYTHING. So much gold there. Its the first time I've ever truly paid attention to Sabbath and their Ozzy-era albums. One thing I definitely never knew before is that Geezer writes near all the lyrics. Coooool.
