the pillows, Asian Kung-fu Generation, Ellegarden, etc. I just saw Ellegarden at Kyouto Taisakusen, it was SO FUCKING GOOD. I'm not sure how to describe it other than I've never been to such an intense concert.
Yeah, I love the acoustic songs! Stare at the Sun acoustic is reallllly tight too. I wish they'd go back to their roots a bit though and stop trying to be artsy with the whole elements theme going on. Nothing good ever comes from being artsy. .____.
Yeah, I love Melting Point of Wax, So Strange I Remember You especially as well as virtually anything on Vheissu. I&II was fairly good, thought they captured water brilliantly, Night Diving especially with the way they conveyed dripping water, and the tranquility of deep sea diving. Fire, eh not so much. Could see they were going for a sense of chaos and distortion but just didn't feel like it came together melodically, Flame Deluge was excellent though. Agree Red Sky EP was excellent, especially their acoustic renditions, particularly Of Dust and Nations, really wish they'd do more of them.
In reply to this comment by JAPR: Yeah, I've heard a few of the songs, but haven't really gotten around to checking it out fully, for some reason. Been too busy with new releases from my favorite Japanese bands, I guess. I thought Alchemy Index vols. I and II was pretty solid, with some tight songs, but definitely not quite up to par with the other stuff. Still, "not up to par with the other stuff" still translates to "pretty damn good," so I can't really complain too much in that department.
I wish they had a music video for T&C, A Torch to End All Torches, Melting Point of Wax, or So Strange I Remember you, because it's always hard to find truly good live videos of songs like that. I was very surprised to see them release Red Sky on that EP thing, but totally dug the coupling tracks.
Reminds me, I still gotta sift that song too Pity that they never released their better songs as singles though.
Sample the album on their myspace if you want, it's not anything groundbreaking by all means but still a solid album all around. Not nearly as good as Vheissu but still, have to give them props for branching out and experimenting with different styles.

bah, no interest is too exotic!* My emperor video sifted! hehe it just might not sift straight away....but keep sifting I put The Grand Conjuration on here too
I voted up on "The Monster Without A Name" I really liked that!
In reply to this comment by quantumushroom: Quantumushroom, I presume you base your views regarding gun control on the inconsequential short term effects of gun control legislation on crime rates, most likely tested as a policy in various US states and typically cited by the NRA and various pro-gun lobbies supporting their industrial constituencies.
Washington DC: near-total "gun control" and highest murder rate in the US. The long-term failure of 60,000+ ill-conceived American gun laws on the books that only keep guns out of the hands of law-abiding citizens is my proof that it doesn't work. "Gun-free zones" don't work. What works: burglars and carjackers thinking twice in states with concealed carry laws.
You should try living in a country which has utterly insignificant gun ownership levels due to restrictions on ownership over a sustained period. Perhaps then you would not think that every law abiding citizen needs a gun for his or her protection and would be more than satisfied with the protection police, or privately hired security guards for business purposes can provide for you.
America's Second Amendment is not about "needing" a gun, it's about recognizing self-defense as a fundamental human right from God (or for you atheists, "by the virtue of human birth"). It doesn't matter why anyone wants to own a gun and its none of the State's business.
BTW congratulations liberals, on the Clintons' recent confession to being part of the Evil Rich. Hell, I thought they couldn't be worth more than what, 10 million? Does anyone know how much of their 100 million dollars they've personally spent helping the poor?
In reply to this comment by RedSky: I don't know about everyone else but I find this incredibly overblown. In fact, I find the US media as a whole latches onto and over exaggerate anything that could potentially viewed as a racist remark.
What is so necessarily racist about suggesting that being black may have aided his campaign? I'm sure some people see the potential of him becoming president as some kind of cultural transcendence towards acceptance, as an eloquent figurative act of rejecting the vile, abhorrent history of slavery and racism. I'm sure in the same way the potential for electing Hilary would represent a similar rejection of past misogyny, a way to make a definitive statement to the world, at a time where US world sympathy is at its lowest. I'm sure under that kind of support there a multitude of policy positions they agree on with their chosen candidates as well as a plenitude of bullshit issues such as how photogenic they are and whether they come across as amicable or overbearing.
Now doesn't accusing Hilary of not further denouncing the comments of someone who has already disenfranchised themselves from her campaign not asking just a tad too much?
Certainly doesn't deserve this tirade as far as I see it ...
