Random music tracks, part 1.

Recommended Posts

Got around to putting a bunch of random stuff from my collection (past and present) on a portable hard drive so I would have some new listening at the office. Loaded all 50GB into Windows Media Player and hit shuffle.

 

I'm running into a few tracks that I'd forgotten about, or flat out never heard before.

 

I thought it would be fun to occasionally post a track here for folks to check out, have you guess who it is, and post your thoughts pro or con about the tune(s).

 

First one:

 

Track 1

Sidebar: How in the dickens do you get the links to pop up the media player??? I would love to do stuff like that for a song or 2.

Haha... I was going to PM Dan the other day to ask the same. Perhaps a step-by-step guided tour is in order? :lol:

 

As for the song, Cherry Bombz sounds like a solid guess to me.

I got about a minute into track 1 and had to bail. That voice was like fingernails on a chalkboard and I found the lyrics were kind of juvenile. No offense.

 

Gawd - track 2 starts out with a really cheesy intro, and at the end of verse 1, there's a Michael Jacksonesque "Owwwww!!!". I just couldn't go on any farther. Granted, I prefer much heavier stuff, so maybe I'm not the best choice to critique these tracks. As an opinionated asshole, I tend to rub people the wrong way with my two cents.

Track 1 was from Krystal - Plug This! from 1994.

I'm confused now. Isn't there a dude singing for Krystal? I have that disc and I swore it was a dude. I need to do some serious re-listening tonight.

That is a guy singing on song one!

WTF???!! Okay, I just need to hear this all again. Although, as Axelinger noted, it wasn't exactly pleasant listening the first time round. ;)

:lol: I have to agree with this 100%. I don't mind some cheesy stuff, but holy f*ck! Waaaay too cheesy 80's pop for me. Sounds like a theme song to some horrid 80's teen movie with nerds perving on sexy girls in the shower or something. :lol:

    • Originally recorded for, but not included on "Reckless"... ...the song has since been included on the 30th anniversary reissue of the album.
    • "Monster"     "Killer Katharina"   "Party Rock Anthem"   "Hard Times"    
    • I'd put them in the same bracket as Ghost. Complete rip off, although the album is good. 
    • Tokyo Blade to release a new album in January 2025. It’s titled Time is the Fire with the release date slotted for 17th January via Dissonance Productions. Tokyo Blade go all the way back to 1982 and were in the thick of the then emerging New Wave of British Heavy Metal with their self-titled debut album appearing in 1983 quickly followed in 1984 by the classic Night of the Blade. That album gained much momentum for the band however after that it seemed as though the law of diminishing returns applied with the success of Night of the Blade not being capitalised on. Despite many line-up changes over the years allied with periods of inactivity and reformations, the band has continued and over recent years released four albums since 2018, the last of which was Fury in 2022. And now we have Time is the Fire to look forward to in January 2025 which will comprise of fourteen new songs. Time is the Fire is available for pre-order from Cherry Red with all sorts of different formats available including CD and coloured double vinyl. If you fancy pre-ordering: https://www.cherryred.co.uk First single "Don't Bleed Over Me" out now...  
    • Still going too... https://hunterband.de/          
    • Haha, thanks mate. I'm pretty fond of that one too.  I think I've said it a few times in this thread, but I don't think AI is a threat to "real" music whatsoever. Sorry, I know I'm repeating myself, but I could see a world where it has a significant impact on dance music and music that is already, for lack of a better term, created artificially anyway.  And I am amazed by, and love what it can do with rock/metal music, but it's still got nothing on what a group of four or five like-minded individuals can come up with, or most notably, a song-writer with a great voice. Or even a good voice.  I have some deeper cuts in my newer material and I am happy enough with the results but it still sounds like AI emotive, absolutely no comparison at all to a real dude pouring his heart out with his own delivery and melodic structure, straight from a songwriter's brain. And as cool as the music is, you listen to a heap of AI and then you put on just one or two top-end favourite bands and you're all like, oh, yeah, AI definitely can't do that. All the intricacies like guitar and drum fills, vocal hooks and melodies... if anything AI music has given me more appreciation for great artists. On the flip-side, it makes me view poorer artists in a dimmer light, lol, but it makes me really appreciate the real craftsmen and women a lot more.  lol, speaking of rants.  Ah, I've had this pickle a few times before. I like the chorus better in V1, but the verses better in V2. Usually in this case the chorus (V1) would win out for me.  And hey, thanks for posting these, lol. I was playing them and looked to the side of my screen and noticed I had 50 credits!! Bonus. I wouldn't have checked otherwise. So I guess even if you run out, you still get the standard daily 50 credits that even free users get. Gotta admit, that's a bit of a relief as 14 more days of nothing was going to be tough. And at last 50 keeps me well limited too. I might not even get one keeper song with 50 credits the way I've been going recently.    
    • Darkstone - Heart Of Steel (2024)   Well, here's two versions of song number 9.   https://suno.com/song/4e549a3d-d7e6-4e8c-a022-ae96830014b3   https://suno.com/song/331b2d37-cb0f-4006-8d93-c8bb69e4df8a
    • Ooh, thanks for the reminder. I should give the full thing a listen.
