this thread should be titled "what is wrong with "this forum" these days"....seriously, what happened? (I recently started visting here again after not posting for a couple years). Back in the day this forum celebrated all generations and genres of music, and showed huge diversity. Now it seems that I recognize hardly any familiar 'faces' on this forum, and this subforum(which was always my favorite section here)is uninteresting, and is kind of ignorant of most music scenes since the 90's. what happened? where did everyone go?

Cynic's Re-Traced EP. They completely reinvented and redid 5 songs from their previous album - Traced in Air. It's phenomenal, and I can't wait till the Vancouver show in july.

Here is a little teaser for the Re-Traced EP. Check it out people...and if you don't know who Cynic are and you think you might like a metal/jazz hybrid that has electronic and acoustic elements mixed in.....then give em a listen. I

Um, there has always been performers who do not write material.

well.I like Stereopathic Soulmanure (it has a noisy post-punk type sound). As well as Sea Change, an album about the breakup with his longtime girlfriend. Sea Change uses simpler songwriting, as well as being completely sincere. His last record The Information had some fantastic cuts as well, 1000BPM is one of the best songs he has written.

yeah, some of his albums are hit and miss.

wha?

Odelay and Mellow Gold are the two MUST have beck albums. This new expantion sounds like it could be cool.

one of my all time favorite music videos.

I didnt know that Turbonegro has a new album out, I think I better check that out.
