Lupatarkasta Mixtape - A Cut Along The Blue Lines
This mixtape post is long delayed. Last time - with my second post-rock mixtape - I didn’t have cover finished, and still today there’s no cover art for that beast. I like making these collections complete, so that’s why I thought it’s better to wait another week or two and have cover art, even a simple but warm hearted cover art made - and then post it.
And here it comes. Past mixtapes have been post-rock or indie rock, now for the first time I focus mostly on music with screams as a main instrument. This is 77 minutes of music without genre name, be it post-hardcore or slowcore or whatever, it is slow, it is absorbing, it is agonizing. Of course the atmosphere is the main point of concentration and that’s why there are few post-rock tracks included as well. They fit in well.
I see no point in going through the mixtape track by track. Circle Six opens with one hell of a song, giving measures for both emotional and physical qualities. Minsk closes with a different kind of monster, still as crushing as it should be. Most propably I will post about bands like Circle Six and From Now On (download the demo now, for crying out loud!) in the future. Foremost, every track here is selected with care and needs no explaining.
I hope you will take the trouble and download the tracks and burn them on a cd-r for maximum listening pleasure. And please, leave comments!

Kuuntelemaan en ole vielä kerennyt, mutta kiitos joka tapauksessa. Nuo post rock mixtapetkin lähes sain. Muutamaa tiedostoa en enää löytänyt siitäensimmäisestä (muistaakseni) joista toinen taisi olla DMST frederica, joka kyllä löytyy vinyylillä.
Oletko nyt vaihtanut täyspäiväisesti englantiin? Ei huono homma, mutta toisaalta suomeksi on kiva lukea. Ihan sama sinänsä. Olen vain utelias.
Jep.

Ajattelin helmikuun ajan testata englanniksi kirjoittamista. Jos juttu ei ala luistamaan, niin paluu suomeen käy. Yksi syy kielikokeiluun on sekin, että lukijoita on Suomen ulkopuolelta jonkin verran, suomen kieli rajaa turhan paljon. Mutta suomeksi on kiva kirjoittaa… Tämä on tällainen kompleksi mulle, jota kävin viimeksi läpi joskus vuosi sitten.
Kiitos jälleen kommenteista!

Ajattelin nyt sitten englanniksi tämän kommentinkin kirjoittaa:
Just downloaded these, now listening to the first time. The first track sounds impressive.
By the way, there’s a typo with the name of Sika Redem.
