Sirenia:: At Sixes and Sevens && Nine Destinies and a Downfall
Sirenia myspaceGenre: Metal (gothic, symphonic)
Album: At Sixes and Sevens
Release Date: 13.Aug.2002
Label: Napalm
Rating: SEHR GUT. Buy.
Download: rapidshare .rar -pw: g0@tz or rapidshare .rar
SIRENIA plays a mixture of gothic metal with classical influences, as well as black and death metal nuances. These musical creations have solid foundation in the powerful drums and bass and are accompanied by driving rhythm guitars, coupled with lilting keyboards, melancholic violins and 12-string guitars. The divergence of vocals utilized are numerous, with the use of growls, screams, female vocals, (3 different) clean male vocals, choirs, whispers and samples. The songs are very intense and the atmosphere changes frequently. The lyrics are based on reflections on life, death, love, hate, mental decline in general and celibacy (joke). —excerpt from an Amazon review

Sirenia (wiki) is a band from Stavenger, Norway started by Morten Veland who parted from Tristania. Looks like Sirenia went through 3 female vocalists. xD gawsh that's kinda a lot. Fabienne Gondamin sang in this 2002 album. Now their new singer is Ailyn from Spain. Go to their myspace and listen to 'The Path to Decay'. Zahhs it's good!

Okay, maybe some people don't think this album's that great, like that guy who wrote that review on amazon. I would have to agree with a few of the things he pointed out though.
When I first listened to this album, I felt very frustrated with the vocals. I thought/think that the vocals could be a lot stronger and louder. (This is after I started listening to Nightwish and Epica.) But then after a few listens and really liking the songs a lot, I decided to just chillout about the vocals. Maybe the female vocalist, Monika Pederson from Denmark this time, just isn't an operatic singer, and definitely not all metal has operatic vocals. So maybe I shouldn't compare Sirenia to Nightwish.
This album is so good, though! Too short though, I always end up listening to it twice each time. I think the lyrics are quite good, too. Not too vague, ambiguous, symbolic metal lyrics. Haha.

PSY TRANCE rips
I ripped these psy trance tracks some time ago from DI.fm internet radio's psy trance channel using Streamripper for Winamp. It's just too difficult to find psy trance singles anywhere, or maybe I just haven't found some neat psy trance downloads forum. But I'm not that into psy trance anyways, so ripping was the easy way to go to load my iPod with some new goa.
Psy trance 1 (.rar 53mb)
Cosmosis - The First Step
ESXS - Mechanic Day Dream
Fatali - Hyper Love
Neuromotor - Electrofuck
Nissimyani - Start Up
Silent Scream - Twist'n'Turns
Space Buddha - Full Circle
Tegma - No Time
Visual Paradox - Thunder (Rmx)
Zen Mechanics - Dolly Dots
Psy trance 2 (.rar 85mb)
Glassball - Lethal Injection (March 2007)
Headroom - Sweet Like A Lemon
Human Blue - Rollercoaster
Impact - Presented by Talamasca (December 2006) with guest DJ Lotus
Redax Mental - Brain Crusher Vol. 9 (August 2006) with guest FractalGee
Space Buddha - White Widow
System Nipel - Afronomical
Tsunami Spotlight USA Presents - Lauryn [Peak Recs, 28th day] (January 2007)
Psy trance 3 (.rar 98mb)
Dj Shoom - Tweakers and Phreakers [31 min. rip of a mix]
Morlack and Shiva Joerg - Frequency Patterns (August 2005) [1hr53m rip of a mix)
And for the many of you who have never heard of psy trance,..
"psy" for psychedelic. "trance" because it is similar to trance in..the song pattern like into-climax-kinda, I guess.. It's also called "goa", after the coast city in India. I think psy trance spread from there, maybe. Read the WIKI article. Psy trance is very fast, 150bpm+, usually, as fast or can be faster than drum & bass.
You see, trance is basically ecstasy without the pill.
And psy/goa trance, is acid.
So if you're listening to psy trance for the first time, you might get a headache. It takes some time to get used to. I remember when I was first getting into psy trance, and I was listening to it while doing math hw, and my head just hurt. I advise you to not listen to psy trance while doing homework that requires a significant amount of thinking.
One more thing:
There's this one BEAUTIFUL instrument used in psy trance. The PSYTAR.
Danggg. The psytar? Doesn't that sound so freakin' cool?
Yepp, electric guitar tuned really crazily.
Or just the electric guitar used in really good full-on psy.
And for those who are unwilling to download,
stream P H I L O S O M A T I K A. I would say it's better than di.fm's psy/goa channel.
I only found out about philosomatika a couple months ago, but it's really good. I was listening to psy trance like for more than a hour straight on several nights while doing hw. Yahh.

Head-Fi
Head-Fi
for the headphones geeks.
Read through this review of a portable headphone amp. Like wtf?! Did you even know there are headphone amps??!
But I think I do want some Caffeine..
Quite unnecessary, yes I know. I probably listen to music too loudly already, or mostly I just listen to music for prolonged periods of time. Good thing it's sold out, though. Else I might actually buy it.
Ehh I am kinda getting in-the-know about headphones/earbuds. The right side of my V-Modas starting going off a week ago already. Gyahh! and I've only had them since early November! Blahh! Darnit I really should have listened to the reviews, but I just couldn't resist since they look so effing bomb. Plus I was getting too irritated with my roommates so I need a good pair of noise-isolating earbuds. (I was using the crap apple earbuds that came with my iPod, though when I'm in my room I usu. use my Sony MDR-V6, but that doesn't drown out my Korean roommate LOLing and clapping and stomping her feet in dumbass hilarity while watching Korean shows. ) Gyahhk so now I have to send those back to get a new pair. But the packaging's in my dorm room, so will only be able to do that when I get back to school. I KNOW I will NOT survive without sound-isolating earbuds at school for 2 weeks. o m g I would die. So what have I decided on?
Skullcandy Full Metal Jacket.
I don't think I'm getting pink, though.
But gyahhk! I spent 70$ on V-Modas, and then I'll spend $40 on these, made me wonder if I should have gotten Shures first-off. But NO. Not Shures. They look weird. And the bass isn't so good. I LOVE the bass on the V-Modas. When I first listened to music on my V-Modas, it was like "WOW. i HEAR and feel the bass." Wonderful. And definitely quite good mids and highs. (70$ earbuds wtf do you think?!) And so now on my MDR-V6 or anything else, I have to really try to hear the bass in some music. Oh, plus, I really like the slanted plug/jack whatever you call it on the V-Modas, instead of having a straight vert or horizontal one and having to bend it. From the reviews, looks like the FMJs should suffice well for me.
I've seen some Skullcandys in the UCSD bookstore. I hope they have these, and at a bit lower price.
Aahk my standards for things keep going up, but my money's not increasing much.
(Also because I bought a mixer and a CDJ. >___<;;
and I should be practicing right now instead of blogging.)

Nice piece there, I kinda like that style, though I can never figure out the letters of pieces in that sort of style.

Cal Pwned UW to go on to Emerald Bowl
Washington fans didn't see a season-ending miracle at Memorial Stadium as their Huskies became the first Pac-10 team to finish with a 0-12 record.
Ok, real music post after this week, FINALs week! Two of my hardest finals (Japanese and Microeconomics) on Thursday one right after the other, and then packing and leaving for home! Jag är exalterad!
