HiFiMAN HE400
By now I think most of us are familiar with the history behind the HiFiMAN HE-series headphones. What started with a single model has grown into a full...
I was in Japan and was looking at headphones to buy. I had a cheap budget of about 4000 yen or circa $40. I bought this headphone because it was on sale for $30 and was very good looking. It was...
Simply put, these headphones are one the best values in the audio world. They've praised time after time, and I now know why. These are my 2nd pair of quality grade headphones (after the V6),...
Hi Guys,
this is my second review on a new earphone, just in time that my friend is looking for a good earphone, I was recommend him to look for this Final Audio Design brand.
He...
Well, it was a toss-up between resurrecting this ancient thread or starting a new one, so I decided there is no point having two threads that won't get responses. lol Actually, I'm hoping this one will get a few more.
I got to see Mutemath live in Sept 2007 (almost a year after this thread was started lol) and, yes, they are a must see band. One of the most entertaining, talented, underrated bands around, despite several late show appearances and such. I guess no one watches those shows either. haha But they are a bit better known now, I would think.
Anyway, despite having all their music to date (they're coming out with a new one in September), for the last week I've been hooked on their live performance videos based on their Armistice tour in Japan. These guys are good.
I was tempted to post this one in the "best bass player" thread, but couldn't decide whether it fit or not:
The music starts at about 2:50:
From about 2:20 on is typical of how they were when I saw them. You almost hope they've settled down:
Anyway, Bring Me The Horizon, although they've gained quite a reputation in the UK. Neutral Milk Hotel, but they enjoy not being known. Hills Have Eyes.
I have the urge to post names of lots of bands that are very known, but just for one or two singles. Example: The White Stripes. Any living soul will know Seven Nation Army, but the stuff they created before that are masterpieces. I will never enjoy blues the same way after listening to their homonimous first album. Everyone knows Feel Good Inc. by Gorillaz, but how many have listened to the story in Fire Coming Out Of The Monkey's Head. I'm sorry, I needed to rant.

A new record are right around the corner, not many have heard about the Italian band Garden Wall, either you like it or think it's just rubbish. Their second installation can be described as...
Vitaly Menshikov:
If you have heard Mekong Delta's "Dances of Death" and Present's "No 6", imagine something average between them or, at least, imagine a cross between the Belgian-school RIO (Univers Zero, Finnegan's Wake) and the most violent Prog-Metal (Voivod, Atheist). Can't you? Indeed, the genres are too different to combine them even mentally, but Garden Wall managed to do that in practice.
“Assurdo” – their first release on Lizard Records. This is the third and closing chapter of an ideal trilogy, started with “Forget The Colours” and continued with “Towards The Silence” and a huge revolution in the band’s sound.
