Well, here is a list of music that I, for one reason or another, didn't pay the appropriate attention to the first time around: Placebo - Meds Not that bad of an album after all, but not an excellent one either. I'm not that disgruntled over purchasing this record as I was originally. Hopefully this band can pull it together and release a proper album next time around. "Follow The Cops Back Home" is a nice little track. Aphex Twin - Chosen Lords Oh yes. I like this. When I first listened to it, I wasn't blown away, so I quickly put it at the bottom of my list of things to lavash attention on. But now I find it to be very involving, causing me to pay attention to the nuances which there are plenty of. Judging by the material selected for this compilation, I think the entire series is definitely something I have got to get my hands on, or at least decent MP3s of. Schoenberg/Webern/Berg - Schoenberg: Piano Concerto . Webern . Berg Ah, serial/twelve-tone music--it's been a long battle, but I think I'm winning. The Berg piece is the easiest to get into, with all its romanticism. I don't know if this music is a novelty like a lot of modern art music, but it's beginning to make an impact...I suppose... John Dowland - In Darkness Let Me Dwell Beautiful songs. I implore everyone to give this man's music at least a single listening. The title track and Flow My Tears are the stand-outs, Come Again is artfully amative. These songs have more gloom-and-doom and suggestive lyrics than most modern songs do. Not bad for 300+ year old music. Anyone else currently giving some music a much belated second spin? Change your mind on anything? |

i often change my mind yes. sometimes i like something instantly and it fades away after a few listens or the other way around. |

Schoenberg and Webern are my two favorite composers.. I'm glad you gave them a second chance. It's extremely difficult to take at times, and doesn't encourage repeat listens very often, but it is brilliant work. Webern especially is astounding in his powerful conciseness and attention to timbre. Haven't gotten as much into Alban Berg.. like you said, a little too romantic at times, but still miles ahead of many of his colleagues. |

hm, don't change my mind about music really often. sure, sometimes things grow, but shit usually stays shit. like placebo in general e.g., god, that annoying voice... ;P. one example maybe would be diamond head's "lightning to the nations"... didn't do much for me at first listen, then i came to love the bonus track "diamond lights" then "it's electric" then the title track then "helpless" then it turned to be my favourite nwobhm record of all time. as for dodecaphony/ 12 tone music... i think it kinda turned out as a dead end, pretty similar to the philosophic thoughts of adorno and the like, who pushed it alot. historically important non the less and a lot of good works were achieved but i also prefer the stuff that allows itself some romantic moments for contrast / utilises the "emancipation of atonality" for narrational structures instead of being the sake of itself. i pretty much like wozzeck e.g. |

man, that "meds" album is just shit. they went steadily downhill after the second album - they had said everything they could really say and have just been repeating themselves over and over and over again. and the "special edition" was just ridiculous, what a completely bloated affair. "including documentary about the making of the album by that bloke from Trainspotting" - 10 minute featurette, more like. oh look, they've rereleased the first album with demos and.. a dvd! sadly the first album wasn't that great, either. not falling for that "special edition" shit anymore. |

that said - the last thing I can think of that I really reappreciated was "Lost and safe" by The Books. |

Massive Attack - Mezzanine I bought it because i sort of liked teardrop, but i thought the rest was shit. Didnt listen to it that much, then one day, maybe a year later, i whipped it on and realized how some of the tracks are brilliant. Then i stopped listening to it again, and then the same happened, like a year later i listened to it again, and got into some of the other tracks on the album. It's indeed a very very good album this one, i can see that now. |

Chosen Lords is different than Analord? Why not just say Analord? |

Yeah, it is shit, but it's somewhat listenable shit. somewhat I'm a sucker for halfway decent production values and falsetto singing. Having a few catchy songs doesn't hurt either, but Molko's lyrics will always be awkwardly lame. And I also don't want to feel like I threw my cash away on this thing. I didn't! This album is worth at least half of what I paid for it. At least. At least? |
