The Assassination of Julius Caesar: Fair enough, I briefly talked about it in the Ulver thread, but it's a really good album and more accessible than most Ulver music I heard. I've been loving his vocals on Winter Thrice by Borknagar a lot too which may be why I'm starting to get into their music a bit more.
Have you checked his other project, Arcturus? The Sham Mirrors and La masquerade infernale are progressive, symphonic metal with some black and experimental stuff. You may dig it
Well, decided that, after listening to a lot of trip-hop, new albums from bands I already knew, and catching up with my gf's top 100, I'm finally giving roulette stuff full priority from now onwards - almost a year after it finished
so yeah you'll be seeing me commenting on those albums pretty often here, twice: after a first spin, and after a few more some weeks later.
Portal of I: ohboi... on the one hand, this has got way too many blast beats and repetitive heavy sections for my taste, and on the other, there are plenty of great moments and ideas, mostly on Forget Not. Feels a bit one-dimensional imo. Will give it a few more listens just in case it grows, but I don't seem myself returning much to this.
Funeral: Feels kinda meandering on a first listen, but pretty nice album.
MCMXC a.D.: Although many of these sounds feel quite dated, I found the songwriting quite good overall, even if a bit cheesy.
Grace: Well, quite a weird album but a very interesting one. I can certainly see why it's said this guy had lots of potential.
The Apologist: 2/10
Dive: Pretty nice, relaxing electronic stuff a la Boards of Canada.
Impressions: Prob Mariusz' most abstract, ambient album. Definitely some interesting textures and soundscapes here tho.
The Great Cold Distance: Kinda like with Portal of I, another album that feels pretty much like 2 or 3 songs and variations of them. Solid songwriting and atmosphere, but after a couple tracks I feel I've already listened to it all.
