10/10!

I knew a song like this one was going to be my first one drawn, not one of the more accessible ones.

I never listened to this band at all, but somehow always suspected they made sweet indie music. Color me surprised as it suddenly turned out to be a lot of shouting and raging guitars, as well as asking me if I ever tasted skin. Not a bad surprise though.

Prince – Papa: 6
One day I will understand why Moonbeam loves Prince deep cuts so much, but that will not happen today. This is pretty decent actually, with a cool sound and an interesting topic, but hardly something that elevates itself above the more established Prince classics.

Sorry! This song should be judged by its own people. Works as an opener, though.

At the Drive-In – Arcarsenal - 6

706. 杉森雅和 [Masakazu Sugimori] - 追求 ~追いつめられて - 4 - fun, but ultimately quite pointless outside the scope of actually playing the game
707. The Rolling Stones - Family - 6
708. Bedřich Smetana - Dance: Skočná [A.K.A. Dance of the Comedians] - 7 - Good classical piece
709. At the Drive-In – Arcarsenal 6 - Not an easy song indeed, At The Drive-in's singer is quite a challenge. Love the energy of the song though.
710. Prince – Papa - 7 - I actually, surprisingly, quite like this song. And I am a Prince detractor.
711. Spectral Display – It Takes a Muscle (to Fall in Love) - 4

Apparently somewhat known outside The Netherlands. Well, at least M.I.A. covered it (quite well I might add). I never heard it before today, though. It's quite good, synth pop with atmosphere.

Has it moments, but there is absolutely no flow to this song. There are a lot of attempts of shift in tempo and emotion and it doesn't work at all for me. It feels rather forced.

Upbeat indie. Maybe it's the voice, but it reminds me of a lighter version of R.E.M.

714. Atheist - Mother Man: 10/10

Just the day before yesterday I looked if this was ranked or bubbling under on AM, and it turned out the entire band is not present. For me this is one of the best metal albums of all time, so I was rather surprised.
I also adore the album cover.

I picked 2 other songs from the album for my top 1000 (and no, that didn't include One Armed Scissor) but that's the next best thing.

I guess Henrik at least must be a fan of this album, because despite it not ranking, Unquestionable presence is a user ranking (depending on how many posts you have) on this site. At least I guess this is were it is from. I never knew.

Atheist - Mother Man: 7
Like a lot of this type of metal I love the music but dislike the singing. It's not too bad here though.

And a week later another appearance of classical work as selected by Dexter. Once again, I can only guess which version to use. I guess it fits a lot better Christmas better than Atheist.

715. Johann Sebastian Bach - Concerto for Two Violins in D minor, BWV 1043: I. Vivace
Year: 1730
Concerto: Concerto for Two Violins in D minor, BWV 1043
