    Darkest Desires Part V

    I have Symbols of Failure, their previous album...its a bit harder / edgier, not as good production as Observant IMO....But I still really dig it. brilliant guitar and drum work I find Observant more accessible, but both albums are brilliant!. I haven't delved into their earlier 1-2 albums...

    Talk me out of the iPhone

    Do it! The iphone 3g is far better audio quality than my previous iphone 2g, and any previous Ipod I owned before that. My HF-1's and Denon D2000's sound great straight outta the headphone jack to my surprise!...and no audible background hiss / noise as with the previous iphone. For me...

    Death Metal Discussion

    I like the new bloodbath, and who says it has to sound like Swedish death or Black metal just because they are Swedish? Overproduced? for sweedish black metal perhaps (garage recording quality) lol...I think it sounds great.

    Australian power cables/cords

    I have 2 of the Eichmann Universal power strips, in melb. Just a warning, I recently heard that they were no longer available, due to them not having / meeting a certain Aus compliance or something. No issue with build quality or safety, just a formality that they had to get cleared up...

    Opeth - Watershed

    I've been enjoying it for the past couple of weeks, picked up the LTD ed. Some Great moments, but as others have posted a few meh ones too. I feel Mikael is taking Opeth into new waters, much more proggy, and samples etc for the sake of samples. Its like he wants to inject as many of his...

    Specific moments in music that send chills down your spine

    Tool 10,000 days - Wings for Marie Pt 2, "10,000 days in the fire is long enough, you're going home" Its time now, my time now, give me my, give me my wings. The way this song builds slowly in rythm and volume, and then releases into the next passage always gives me tingles up my spine and...

    Frederik Thordendal's Special Defects - For fans of Meshuggah

    Ive had this album around 10 years now,was very hard to source at the time here in Aus. Any self respecting 'SHuggah fan should already have it.... I just wish Obzen would arrive already, has been delayed at the docks, and I refuse to listen to crappy quality leaks of it. Just a couple more sleeps!

    ahaha I was actually already listening to Lateralus when I stumbled across this thread... It is one album I never tire of, I have listened to it almost on a daily basis for a few years now....Seeing them live is an amazing experience... wings for Marie is one song which gives me goosebumps...

    Marantz SA-15S1 vs SA8001?

    I have had the SA-15 for around 6 months now, still very pleased with the unit, no gripes with its audio quality. At the time of purchase I home auditioned the Rega Apollo, and in store auditioned the SA-11 Cambridge 640v2, an Arcam CD192, Cyrus CD6, Creek EVo and Denon 3910. I recently...
