  • Also, sorry about the double post. Didn't think it'd do that. D:
    January 26 10:53 PM
  • Hi! A few years ago, you posted on the Shadow of the Colossus soundtrack Roar of the Earth saying that you could give people the sheet music. I was wondering if you could let me see it. This would be very helpful for me as I'm trying to help arrange a video game medley for my band and would love to include at least one song from Shadow of the Colossus. I hope you see this since it's been a while since your last activity. Thank you for your time!

  • GiaNXGX excellent work on Schnittke, man.
    March 25 08:30 AM
  • fr33convict Awesome. Definitely a lot more thought went into writing it this time around. And I'm so happy people are picking up on the vocal improvements haha. These are still just demos and everything was done on the first take so hopefully it'll sound even better when we step into the studio.
    December 13 03:55 AM
  • fr33convict Hey dude can I send you a link to some of the new Golgatha demos we've made? We're trying to get some feedback on our new direction and the songs in general before we go in to record and based off your rating you liked our last EP. Plus I figured if there was one place I could get unbiased feedback it would be on Sputnik. :]

  • Comatorium. Im just happy i got them for myself and that someone else could get some enjoyment out of them.
    September 25 01:02 AM
  • Comatorium. Ballad- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4FpgFopQWU sorry about my ridiculously loud "TAKE A ****ING FLIGHT" in there.
    September 24 06:56 PM
  • Comatorium. I liked the rock arrangement, but its my absolute favorite song by him, i kinda just wanted him doing it. i didnt recognize it either at first haha... anyways... photosynthesis: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_2cyUaKGvE ballad and the others forthcoming
    September 24 06:52 PM
  • Comatorium. I lied, its his 3 encores. wish I had gotten somebody to love. s*** was great.
    September 24 05:52 PM
  • Comatorium. Im uploading some video from the show, I'll throw the link from my channel up here after I get em uploaded. I have from AJJ about 5 songs, and from Frank I have everything after Queen, which I believe is Thunder Road, Ballad, and Photosynthesis
    September 24 05:44 PM
  • Comatorium. It was a great show man. I was the fat guy in the Elton John shirt, if you saw me at some point hahah. The only gripe I have was I kinda wish he had played Queen solo instead of with the band.
    September 24 05:34 PM
  • Comatorium. Ottobar tomorrow! Gonna be so ****ing good! I've never met someone from sputnik haha... we should chat.
    September 23 03:25 AM
  • patroneyes where can i find a download of Liszt's Transcendental Etudes played by V. Ovchinnikov? they're absolutely fantastic.

  • R6Rider were you there last night?
    March 27 08:05 PM
  • Jethro42 Take a look at this, dude; http://www.blazemonger.com/GT/ Lots of pretty cool stuff in there. If ever you take it, let me know what you think. http://www.filestube.com/658621587c6f40a903e9,g/Giant-Tracks-A-Tribute-to-Gentle-Giant-Varied-D2.html
    March 26 01:11 AM
  • Jethro42 Man, thank you for this. You make my day, I love me some meditative moments like this. Delightful.
    March 26 12:52 AM
  • TheSpirit It's an untitled album by an unnamed band referred to only by it's catalog number RH-01. It was released by this label called Rhinocervs who values music over the artist so a good majority of their releases never credit the artists. It's really good though, it sounds very much inspired by the Black Legions scene from France.
    February 23 02:32 AM
  • TheSpirit Listen to Defaced Creation. They only have one album but it rules. I think you'll like it a lot.
    February 23 01:00 AM
  • Hawks Good s*** man, thanks.
    February 23 12:43 AM
  • Hawks I haven't heard that one yet, but I've been meaning to check it out.

  • relativeworld I recently watched another great semi-short-flick called " a country doctor " based on Kafka's short story with the same title, directed by Yammamura , you may like it, too , I ll try to find "Hedgehog in Fog" , thanks for mentioning!
    February 2 11:15 AM

  • Jethro42 Check this out: http://www.sputnikmusic.com/bands/Mans-Gin/22753/
    January 29 06:14 PM
  • Jethro42 I really enjoyed that pop song and I'm very opened for any foreign lyrics 'cause music counts above all. brw Next ProgJect one is almost done. I'll send it to Nag tomorrow in the evening, so if everything goes well it's gonna be on the map wednesday morning. This time it's gonna be that sympho prog British band (with strong elements of folk and classical music); http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YoBq4NsWcI Band is full of incredible melodies and arrangements. Enjoy one of those!
    January 18 03:25 AM
  • Jethro42 As I see you listening to Blackmore's, I'm tempted to leave you the best of them I have in my comp. (all found one by one on LimeWire, long ago). 'Wish you were here', 'Written in the Stars', 'Waiting just for you', 'Fires at Midnight', 'Hanging Tree', 'No Second Chance', 'Something', 'Spirit of the Sea', 'Way to Mandalay', 'Wind Dance of the Fairies', 'Now and then', 'Planxty', 'Play Minstrel Play' and the poppish 'I love you'. Try band Mostly Autumn too.
    January 17 11:24 PM
  • Jethro42 I forgot to thank you for showing me Wyatt stuff. I'll take a look to both Comicopera and Shleep wich obtain appreciable ratings. Cheers, man.
    January 15 02:23 AM
  • Jethro42 There's a recall for you on the Laughing Stock thread =P
    January 15 01:32 AM
  • Jethro42 Man, do yourself a favor and check 'Bubu' out, it has a fresh new review at the front page. Their music is so... go get it!
    January 13 01:41 AM
  • Inveigh awesomeeeee thanks so much dude!
    January 12 10:52 PM
  • Inveigh fair enough man, I get that. though I definitely don't think the review seemed too reactionary or anything. hey, since I see it in your last.fm... did you find a leak of it somewhere???
    January 12 10:25 PM
  • Inveigh why'd you take down the Ulcerate review man?
    January 12 05:09 PM
  • Jethro42 I pretty much like that kind of mood. For some reasons, it reminds me of that, even if the correlations are thin. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGHwWwQw3tc annnnnd; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPuxrLAbONk
    January 10 03:23 AM
  • Jethro42 Dammit it doesn't work, so there is my plug; Mahavishnu Orchestra - Visions of the Emerald (last ProgJect one). Listen to its opener: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4K1VxNg9Bc
    January 10 02:57 AM
  • Jethro42 woops, it didn't show up, I redo http://www.sputnikmusic.com/album.php?reviewid=41115
    January 10 02:49 AM
  • Jethro42 Gryphon offers some passages I'd want to hear forever, and some others I wish I've never heard. That being said, I might give this another chance for I didn't listen to it carefully. Same for your Wyatt' rec. Both are obviously growers...'harder to digest' prog. Here's a plug of mine for you, with a song to enhance it: http://www.sputnikmusic.com/album.php?reviewid=41115
    January 10 02:42 AM
  • wyankeif1337 dammit, didn't see them in your ratings.
    January 10 12:29 AM
  • wyankeif1337 if you end up liking Panopticon get entire Wolves In the Throne Room discog. dead srs
    January 10 12:23 AM
  • Jethro42 I mean, mediafire is a bitch for me.
    January 3 01:00 AM
  • Jethro42 about your cover arts, I did try to upload The strawb' one and failed for some reasons. And for the Tull' one, it's 'Thick as a Brick'. But you know the risk it represents to edit a list; you can lose some other cover arts, isn't it. also I'd like to know how to dl the band 'Anyone' - s/t from mediafire, for example. Thanks!
    January 3 12:50 AM
  • McCopper Thanks a lot!
    January 3 12:36 AM
  • Jethro42 HA! You've already known that, I see, I see. Band is pretty unique. Happy new year, bud. Best wishes, plenty of music gigs and keep the good work up here on Sputnik!
    December 29 04:31 AM
  • Jethro42 I can't help but giving you this link: Listen at 5:47 (song is all great) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIlG0TmxzTs
    December 29 04:17 AM
  • Jethro42 This rec of yours comes like a reminder! I've been meaning to check his discog out since a while. Thanks man, I'll let you know what I think!
    December 27 07:00 PM
  • DeafMetal Wow, dude sounds like a loser. What kind of band are you looking to get into now with the organ?
    December 20 05:35 AM
  • DeafMetal That's awesome man, the organ's a pretty cool instrument, although I never really ****ed with it myself. What's your band like?
    December 20 02:45 AM
  • DeafMetal What's going on bro?
    December 19 09:38 AM
  • Jethro42 Have you heard these out of the short lived Wakeman's era: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rrQvfpwCJQ annnd: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XA7DBXr7V1k Also, major props for your Harmonium' plays.
    December 12 03:07 AM
  • Irving Right on. In that case, all the best for all three of your endeavors: school, completing the review, and the piano recital. Will catch you around this site sometime soon =)
    December 11 08:08 PM
  • Irving Vanderbob, haven't seen you review in a bit. Get on that s*** =)
    December 11 04:49 PM
  • Sowing and by shot i mean shout
    December 5 02:24 AM
  • Sowing thanks man, i was surprised actually. last promotions they announced it via the weekly blog, so i was a little shocked when i got on and i was suddenly a contributor and had a shot from jom. lol.
    December 5 02:24 AM
  • Jethro42 I'm really glad to know you love it. Imaginary Voyage, Enigmatic Ocean and Cosmic Messenger are as great as Mystical Adventures, so enjoy! Also, I fixed what you've pointed out, thanx again!
    November 26 02:15 PM
  • Jethro42 Here are some interesting excerpts from 'Mystical Adventures' suite. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyS3uLXqrW8 and this, Cheers! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l49LyLC8q-Q
    November 25 11:22 PM
  • Terrifyer **** yeah okami
    November 14 12:30 AM
  • Jethro42 It's a pleasure, you know. I suggest you 'From the Witchwood' next. I have to say I dunno that album, but it's their last one with Wakeman, it's very well rated. 'Grave New World', 'Bursting at the Seams', 'Hero and Heroine' and 'Ghost' contains so much GEMS. Also, never forget Fiori-Seguin, the Harmonium frontman side ptoject. Enjoy!
    October 20 10:22 PM
  • Jethro42 It makes me happy to see you digging Harmonium, being given it's a band of my hometown.
    October 20 02:24 AM
  • Jethro42 Damn straight man!..I have to bookmark this, thanx!! Also, why didn't you rate 'Program Music 1' yet?
    October 19 08:27 PM
  • Jethro42 Hey vander, buddy. Can you remember on what thread you gave to me some incredible classical piano links, not so long ago? There were your fav classical piece, plus one of your fav(Russian I think)pianist...
    October 19 07:42 PM
  • Hawks No problem bro. The second album is even better IMO.
    October 16 01:36 AM
  • Hawks Good s*** man. Both of their albums are awesome.
    October 16 12:46 AM
  • Hawks Have you by any chance listened to Winterfylleth?
    October 15 11:26 PM
  • McCopper Hey, I dropped you a friend request on last.fm, hope you don't mind.I'm Mournheim.
    October 15 08:56 PM
  • Fapper I'm glad I asked, that is a really neat animation. Gonna watch part 2 and 3 now haha
    October 13 01:34 AM

    September 21 02:28 AM
  • OvrotLivesAgain Yeah, they wish they were even close to INM
    September 10 02:25 AM

  • NeutralThunder12 I got happy, today I saw a kid wearing an Arcade Fire T
    September 7 08:29 PM
  • NeutralThunder12 lemme ask you something, I see you're in high school (like me). Don't you ever see these stupid kids, with their cruddy band t shirts, and their ridiculously sophomoric views on music and life itself, and all you think is "Wow, I have such a better taste in music than you"?
    September 7 01:09 AM
  • bailar12 worry not. enrique is jus stirring up some controversey.
    September 3 10:26 PM
  • Jethro42 sup brah, I invite ya to take a look at the Horslips' page. I'm not done with the whole thing yet, I'll add the rest somewhere in the week end. Have a good one, cheers!
    September 3 09:55 PM
  • Jethro42 Your allusion to Emerson was pretty accurate btw. I just added ELP into 'Similar Bands' on Rick Wakeman's page.
    September 1 10:40 PM
  • Jethro42 Kudos! As I expected, very good work on The Six Wives. The only gripe is your summary. It looks like Wakeman would be the only musician, you see. Also, I am to prepare something else than The Myths and Legends, but it will immediately follow. Cheers man, and happy back-to-school!
    September 1 09:49 PM
  • Jethro42 Cheers man
    August 25 06:37 PM
  • Jethro42 No way man, I give up. You got an excellent idea for your 50th. I don't want to spoil your fun. Plus I'm very certain that a 2nd one after yours would become an unnecessary review. So yes, go ahead with Bursting Out. My head is full of other projects.
    August 25 06:16 PM
  • Jethro42 ProgJect aim to cover what is not yet reviewed, so I'd only provide one if you haven't done it before me. Also if you are 100% inspired to do Bursting Out, I greatly prefer to do something else, to avoid a 'non necessary review'. Thanx for your approval though, mate.
    August 25 05:48 PM
  • Jethro42 I was expecting to eventually cover Bursting Out under the ProgJect account. Would it bother you, honestly?
    August 25 05:23 PM
  • Jethro42 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Lf3WP_S7Ek Here's a short and sweet example.
    August 14 04:12 PM
  • mojolukasmojo haha same heres
    August 12 08:34 PM
  • Jethro42 WoW That Kashmir cover is insane. You mean Ann Boleyn?..Well I tip my hat if you can cover it, bro. Do you play the keys too? For ELP, start with their debut s/t one. Then Tarkus. Studio version is more than 20 min long of epicness. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AH4LAitSXCM
    August 12 08:04 PM
  • Jethro42 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xN1ZxRMuMt4 sup man. They'are more tight on studio version, but it's alright.
    August 12 07:33 PM
  • mojolukasmojo wtf who r u?? haha
    August 12 07:07 PM
  • Jethro42 I'll answer for Nag. 'Flagged' means a review being placed in the first place, over the other ones. Don't ask me about the settling, I have no clue.
    August 5 09:52 PM
  • Jethro42 Whoa!...You put two other reviews on the map...oh wait!
    August 5 12:29 AM
  • Jethro42 That's awesome man, be prepared for a lot of fun!! Wakeman is a very good school, for sure.
    August 5 12:17 AM
  • Jethro42 Hells yeah! That's Tull at the top of their game. Setlist and songs rendition are more than satisfying. I'm glad you enjoy it, man. Also, you are a pianist, isn't it. Have you considered Rick Wakeman's prolific solo works? He also appears in some 'Strawbs'(prog folk) debut albums. My suggestion: 'Just a Collection of Antiques and Curios'. Cheers, buddy.
    August 2 08:51 PM
  • BallsToTheWall sweet
    August 2 03:12 PM
  • BrysonialTheBison Anthema is amazing; thanks a lot for getting me into them :D I'm gonna' be an addicted person now lol :D ^_^ and it does help; it seems to be a great album for reflection :)

  • Justaphobia Thanks for the feedback.
    June 2 04:00 AM
  • FadeToBlack dude you need to get Nattens Madrigal (third Ulver album), its the pure embodiment of all things black metal
    May 31 09:50 PM
  • FadeToBlack I think the ovalist on that Shape Of Despair album is the old Amorphis vocalist. At least he moved on to good bands ;)
    May 28 08:05 AM
  • grungethrash91 holy s***, you prove that you cant post comments without doing it twice on accident because your a moron. i hate morons, so we are enemies fom this point on.
    May 22 07:16 PM
  • NeutralThunder12 cool man, its all great stuff.
    May 21 09:36 PM
  • NeutralThunder12 sup man. Saw your need for jazz recs. Check out mine, all great starter jazz albums, some of them are weird as s*** though. Again, this summer I'm making a username dedicated to ONLY jazz and jazz fusion and stuff like that, so if you ever need any more recs, you'll know where to find them. Good luck.
    May 21 01:40 PM
  • MoosechriS yeah heard a couple of things with king diamond on before (Song off Dave Grohls Probot album
    May 9 07:04 PM
  • MoosechriS cheers dude i'm hopefully in the next few weeks just gonna order the 3 dissection albums altogether. I've always heard good things about Mercyfull Fate just never checked them out suppose i should really (Lazy me :-s) I've heard wintersuns name mentioned before but have no idea what they sound like at all. Cheers for the recs though dude :)
    May 9 02:24 PM
  • NeutralThunder12 cool, its ****ing epic.
    May 8 01:24 PM
  • NeutralThunder12 its tough. He literally, over a 40 year period, changed genres every decade. If you want the more straightforward 'jazz' albums (bop jazz), the best ways to start are "Birth of the Cool", "Kind of Blue", "Round About Midnight" and "Porgy and Bess". For experimental Miles, AKA Weird but awesome s***, try "A Tribute to Jack Johnson", "In a Silent Way" or the ****ing weird ass but awesome "On the Corner". IMO, one of his best is "Sketches of Spain", try that if you want something gorgeous.
    May 7 10:01 PM
  • NeutralThunder12 Nick Drake=GOD
    May 7 08:31 PM
  • NeutralThunder12 yeah man, Birth of the Cool has such a mood on it... even though I like his experimental stuff more, that one is excellent.
    May 7 08:30 PM
  • heyadam I did like JC's version of "Hurt". Not as much as the original, but he did a great job with it. The music video added a lot to the emotion of the song
    April 10 02:48 PM
  • heyadam Yeah I love metal but I also love almost every other type of music, except country and new rap.
    April 10 01:30 AM
  • heyadam Yeah I'm a metalhead and I'm not even that into Pantera. But yeah Its not like I hate them or think that they weren't anything special, because thats just ignorance. They were one of the greatest bands to play, but just not my style lol
    April 10 12:12 AM
  • heyadam haha I knew I'd get s*** for putting the Beatles on there. Do you have a band that you don't hate, but everyone around you just loves but you could never get into them? thats what the beatles are for me
