Post unidentified music
so, I came across an album it seems... somewhat weirds as the audio files sole properties are - created 01 January 1995 - the style is ambient noise and raw bm, the latter is kind of into the atmosphere ... I haven't listened to Abruptum, but the comparison is the only clue I could come up with

my machine, has problems with sporadically shutting down itself when browser takes some myspace or blog too heavy, it seem... but I've just tried playing the unidentified to a friend of mine, through my low-quality speakers and Skype.. but he couldn't say anything else than the bm style reminding of early Burzum... while imo the other stuff, which aprox 3/4 or 5/6 of the duration could have been recorded even today and made it to the press etc

I'm offering anyone interested in trying out to solve the puzzle, that undoubtedly this recording is to me, via the said channel, as for the moment I don't intend learning how to convert and upload, in order to provide a proper material for those who are curious to check the album out.

so, Skype speakers and mic this time, if you are interested pm me.

Does it involve horrible "torture" screaming, sporadic drum beats without sense and violin rape? if so, Abruptum it is. "Ambulabo-whatever" album.

I don't think it involves horrible "torture" screaming, sporadic drum beats, because I wouldn't have bothered.. I mean I like the sound and the way the tracks are though out - in fact I'd rather say there's something psych- otic or edelic, and like I said I don't know how to upload... still, I may give a check to Abruptum albums .. there's even a new one, if I've read e-mails from on-line shops correctly.

I heard a couple of Abruptum albums, the one you mention and Oscuritatem... guess, that's far. the album is more ambient and with traditional forward old-school bm grasps, not necro though, as it wouldn't have suited the other parts of the music.

guess, what remains to be done is trying to figure out the stanzas, the google them as lyrics and eventually coming accross the real author through some lyrics domain, just crossed my mind.

Googling for stanzas or text fragments is a good way to go... Or, if you have the whole album as mp3, try CDex (free programm) and connect to the Database. In 95% of all cases the Database recognizes correctly (based on track and album lengths).

thank you very much for your answer, as it got me to the answer, I'll tell you what happened, I got to converting it in order to eventually follow your direction. i remembered the only way i had ever converted audio to mp3 and that's through the windows media player i have on the pc, which i've stopped usind a long time ago, as i'm using an old version of bs player... the moment the wmp caught the data and it gave a title - inverted ruins, then locrian, then album: Territories... I still don't get it, why would properties give me an 1995 account of track creation, guess it's something to do with the windows i have..

Nevertheless, if it wasn't for your advice to check out with CDex, I wouldn't probably bothered to play via wmp in an unidentifiably long period of time. The third track, where one of the so-called raw bm part is, is called 03. Procession of Ancestral Brutalism

i checked it out via blabbermouth now

Chicago's LOCRIAN has completed work on its new collaborative studio album, entitled "Territories". The CD was recorded in January 2009 at Phantom Manor Studios in the band's hometown and features numerous collaborators, including Andrew Scherer (VELNIAS), Mark Solotroff (BLOODYMINDED), Bruce Lamont (YAKUZA), and Blake Judd (NACHTMYSTIUM). The album will also be a collaboration between four labels from three countries: At War With False Noise (U.K.), Basses Frequences (France), Bloodlust! (USA), and Small Doses (USA).

well, Bruce Lamont (YAKUZA)... why not, why not

Well, whatever works for you, I guess! Main point is you´ve got what you wanted.

I have been desperately looking for a tune I remember from my childhood days, and never found out what it was, nobody I tried to whistle it to seemed to know it, not even my dad, who normally knows EVERYTHING, haha... then, some 25 years later, I listen to the radio - on air was Gabriella Cilmi with "On a Mission" (found that out via googling the lyrics), and I instantly recognized the bass line. Googled a few seconds again and it turned out it is from Joe Jackson, a song called "Steppin´ out". So, after quarter a century I discovered something which haunted me for really a long time! Not even my damn smartphone and that f***ing Song finder App managed to beat sheer luck...

Song 2 is Skrew's "Going Down" from their 1996 album "Shadow of a Doubt".
