Volume at Zero. Day 1.

I’ve decided on a title of a segment for my music re-discoveries as I filling my iPod back to it’s previous glory.

And as of day one, I’ve successfully listened to five albums of different performers or bands. I’ve had a single listen through each album, which is barely enough to make any conclusions, but as of impressions – it’ll do.

A-Mei Chang – AMIT
An album from a Chinese performer that is actually good. I’m used to Chinese music being soft and slow, but in AMIT there’s very little of this. The album is actually very and very good listen.

Dream Theater – When Dream and Day Unite
It is my first album from this band and I’ve listened to both original (1989) and remastered (2002) versions of it. I’m still on the fence about what I think of it, but the sound of remastered version sounds obviously better. I think that the original album is for hardcore fans who would kill for anything Dream Theater. And in fact it provides some nice material to listen after the remastered one.
This album reminds me of “Salvage Poetry” albums by Edguy, same situation there. But on the Edguy album there were much more songs that clicked with me.

BARBEE BOYS – 1st OPTION
Weeeelllll…. I love my J-Music old and BARBEE BOYS drive a nail through every single pleasure center of my brain and warms them nicely with pleasant bursts of electricity. That one was a complex metaphor indeed. I love them so much, I can’t talk unbiased about this or any other of their albums.
Strangely, they’ve asked (someone) not to publish their lyrics over the Internet. This is sad. But I can make out most of their lyics anyway, so maybe not THAT sad.

Rin’ – Asuka
Japanese Pop-Folk music. I don’t have much to say about their music except that it is fresh, outstanding and overall awesome. But I’ll talk more about them eventually.

That was all for a day. Tommorrow albums would be as follows:
Anzen Chitai – Anzen Chitai I Remember to Remember
Perfume – 1st Complete Best
Kitahara Aiko – Message
Evanescence – Fallen

A hiatus from hiatus

Okaaay, now, how long it was since my last post here ^^` There’s really so much time in a day and usually it is very difficult to dedicate any of it to blogging.
But things are changing.

Yesterday I’ve wiped my iPod clean. It was nice having about 5k songs on it, but it really was nothing more than a mess that somehow affected my brains. From today onwards I will build my collection in a little bit organized way, with songs’ ratings and stuff.

And guess what – I’ll try and write to this blog a bit more often with impressions on the music I listened to etc.

for the first day I’ve picked a bunch of albums:
A-Mei Chang – AMIT
Rin’ – Asuka
BARBEE BOYS – 1st OPTION
Dream Theater – When Dream and Day Unite (both original and remastered).

I’ll see how thing will be working out as well as how much new music I would be able to listen to on a daily basis. Reviews/impressions on some of this stuff – in about 10 to 14 hours from the time of this post.
