The last song that's given you that spine-tingling feeling.

The Dirty Fours - Breathless

"'Breathless' is nothing short of brilliant, with it’s gnarly bassline and peak time synths riding on top fantastic percussion. The kick and snare build with layers of tribal toms, snappy high hats and a squishy bubble sound set in a deep minimal groove. A shrilling sound washes over and drops the tune into a rich bassline, still riding the beat. The bass changes up and starts in with a new funky groove, while chords drop in creating a catchy hook that moves the song along. A surreal break explodes a moment later, as swirling synths play up the depth and a slight voice says "You're Breathless" and then leads back into a new break beat. Once the kick comes back in, a harder groove builds as the tune peaks in a subdued way, with delaying synths, fact acid sweeps, and a solid filthy groove."

Man, I really like this new Wilderness album. I do like every song. [though the first two songs are stand outs...] I have to say that I would really like to know your opinion. The Pitchfork review is right on in terms of the way that Wilderness sounds. The atonal, intermittently spoken/sung/wailed vocals are pretty wierd. My wife agreed with me that Wildeness sounds like The Edge joined The Cure and somebody forgot to tell Robert Smith so the drunken love child of David Byrne and Patti Smith stood in! [but it's amazing how quickly the vocals grew on me...] I don't know how well known they are. I know that they are from Baltimore, which is fairly close to me, and I had never heard of them until I read the Pitchfork review. Wilderness is going to be one of these bands that one either loves or hates and I definitely love their debut.

I've had many tingling feelings lately but mostly in the genre of metal...

Nightrage - Circle of Pain
Nile - Lashed to the slave stick
Death by Stereo - Forget Regret
Devildriver - Pale Horse Apocalypse
Tool - Pu**** (especially the live version from salival)

And some folky music too:

Kaki King - Ingots
Israel Kamakawiwo'ole - Somewhere over the rainbow... which was played at my nanna's funeral and is very emotionally loaded for me now
John Mayer - Quiet

Lots of tingles going on with my schizophrenic musical taste

I just picked up Salival at a used record store for $16, and the CD and DVD were in MINT, and I mean MINT condition
