Atreyu - The Curse

Since a friend told me about them, ive listen to them almost nonstop

I have listened to them for years they are incredible. You have to go and get their CD Suicide Notes and Butterfly Kisses. When I saw them at Ozzfest, Marc the bass player let me play part of a song called Someone's Standing on My Chest.

Their newly released "Best of R.E.M."? :unsure:

Really, it's hard for me to recommend one album over another... they are all great...

My personal favorite is "Green". The cover is, oddly, yellowish-brown. Maybe Stipe meant it that way?

I think that is what I shall do tomorrow - transfer my R.E.M. albums over to the iPod.

meh i don't like "best of" cd's. its just an icky thing for me. i don't know why.

i love stipe i've heard many quotes and heard a lot about his political contributions and he is great in my mind. i have a recording of stipe at the tibetan freedom concert playing "long road" with eddie vedder and mike mccready of pearl jam. it was outstanding.

Wow, there's another Wim Mertens fan on this board.  That's hard to believe.

Just wanted to mention that I love all his work, from his film soundtracks to his solo albums.

I wasn't expecting anyone to know of him, so reading your response surprised me. I've listened to these Mertens albums:

Father Damien

Jardin Clos

Lisa

Shot and Echo

A Man of No Fortune and with a Name to Come

Are you a fan of film music in general? I particularly enjoy Thomas Newman, Yann Tiersen, Ennio Morricone, Angelo Badalamenti, Nino Rota et al.

Honestly, I'm not a huge Pearl Jam fan. The only album I have on here (my PC) is their debut, Ten, and only because someone suggested to listen to it a while ago.

Wow I was drunk when I posted last night... oops.

But yeah, I've downloaded most of Wim's work.. I have 4 of 5 of those I think (Lisa I'm not sure about). A friend of mine told me about "Wim Shady" (his idea, not mine) four years ago and I downloaded The Belly of the Architect, which I believe is a film soundtrack.. I liked it, but not enough to try to keep finding stuff of his. It must've been last summer that I decided to give him another shot, and found myself liking those high-pitched vocals.

As for other film soundtracks, I'm not really into them. I liked Angelo Baldamenti's soundtrack to Mulholland Drive a lot, and I think he did Blue Velvet as well. The rest I've never heard or don't know that I've heard. I'm into the 'minimalists', Philip Glass, Steve Reich, and Terry Riley.. the latter two have never done soundtracks, but Glass has done some of his best work on them.

Check out Jeremiades by Mertens, it's excellent.

i've heard r.e.m. is a great band. a lot of people said i'd probably like their stuff. so i was wondering what would be a cd i should get of theirs if i want the best?

Green is a good suggestion for REM. As for their early stuff, I like Life's Rich Pageant. Later stuff like Automatic for the People, UP and New Adventures in Hi-Fi are great from beginning to end as well.

I first heard of Wim when a friend mentioned his soundtrack to the somewhat rare movie Father Damien, so I decided to download it. I would say that my favorite Mertens work thus far is Close Cover.

I can't find Jeremiades, Tri. :saddevil:
