http://www.sendspace.com/file/89s7g9 Opeth - 1994 - Orchid
One of the more stunning and devastingly powerful debuts of any metal band in any genre. Though Opeth's majesty has only recently reached American audiences via Century Media, this timeless classic is a great way to hear how genius is performed.
"So," you ask, "how do you really feel about this album? And don't hold back." Funny you should ask. This is downright one of the best pieces of work in extreme metal. Though they aren't wall-of-noise black metallists like many of their Scandanavian brethen, their roots in both black metal (noticeable mostly in Mikael Akerfeldt's vocals) do put them outside most circles of listeners, thus appealing to fans of bands such as Edge of Sanity, Katatonia (with whom Akerfeldt has been involved), In Flames, and others in the European scene. What sets Opeth apart from the rest is their enormity involved in the songwriting. Almost all their tracks are around eight to fourteen minutes long (with the exception of the interludes of "Requiem" and "Sillouette") and very intricate in terms of execution. Opeth writes some mighty guitar leads and very tasty riffage to base their music. Acoustic guitars spice up the material from time to time, along with some chants and clean singing. Though some death/black purists will dismiss Opeth, it's their loss. This outfit is destined for some great things down the road.
(This is one of my all time favourite albums)

Word. I've listened to those two CBL albums so many times, they're one of the few electronic artists that just don't wear out.

This is THE ultimate trip album.
http://www.sendspace.com/file/76pa5i Shalabi Effect - 2001 - Shalabi Effect - Disc 1
http://www.sendspace.com/file/88smb3 Shalabi Effect - 2001 - Shalabi Effect - Disc 2
(Release info from Alien8 recordings)
Originally slated for release as the flip side of a split cd/lp with godspeed you black emperor! entitled Aural Florida, this release just kept growing and growing. Now finally finished and ready to go, the Shalabi Effect present their debut with a staggering 131 minute psychedelic blow out!
On this debut double CD somewhere in the vicinity of forty instruments have made their way onto the recordings. It is very difficult to describe Shalabi Effect, because the sound is varied and changing so frequently, but we can definitely trace influences of AMM, Organum, and Pink Floyd, and psychedelic music. In terms of Psych, we are talking about the brand perfected by the likes of Acid Mothers Temple, No Neck Blues Band and Ghost, as well as more pioneering projects such as Amon Duul, Popul Vuh and the Taj Mahal Travellers.
Anthony Seck, Sam Shalabi, Alexandre St-Onge and Will Eizlini are joined by various guests, including members of Godspeed You Black Emperor! and Strawberry, filling in on violin, vocals, Tibetan bowls and sax. Together they blend middle eastern influenced folk with spacey electronics and really beautiful trippy guitars. The overall experience is incredible; sounds and styles change drastically and seamlessly, bringing you to a new place with each new movement. Shalabi Effect went all out, spending nearly a month in the studio recordings and mastering on 1/2 tape to capture the warmth of the music. We thought they were kidding when they said they were setting out to create the ultimate drug record. Now we know that they were serious. The first of the two discs opens up with a beautiful display of early electronic drones, Muslimgauze styled tablas, Oud, guitar, scraped metal and bowed instruments. The sound is so incredibly rich and organic, you could swear this was recorded somewhere beautiful outdoors.
Aside from the Shalabi Effect, Sam Shalabi either anchors or at least plays in the following projects: a trio with David Kristian and Alexandre St-Onge, and more… Shalabi’s free jazz duo Detention performed at this years Festival International de Musique Actuelle de Victoriaville and he immediately returned to Montreal the following day to perform with Kevin Drumm and Pillow, as member of Molasses. Anthony is the other driving force in the project and is a film maker and video producer.
Shalabi Effect are one of the most important projects in the Montreal underground for the sole reason that it is Sam Shalabi’s main project. During the last few years Alien8 Recordings have been setting up challenging evenings of live music at a loft space run by GYBE!, the Hotel 2 Tango, as well as at other spaces. During that time only David Kristian comes close to having played in as many live scenarios as Sam Shalabi. We have had Shalabi Effect perform with the likes of Aube, Kevin Drumm, Pillow, Fly Pan Am, Godspeed You Black Emperor!, Government Alpha, David Kristian, Sabir Mateen, Loren Mazzacane Connors, M.S.B.R., No Neck Blues Band, Pillow, Royal Trux and Martin Tétreault. Occasionally Shalabi will even book his own shows, including gigs with Tim Berne and Brandon Labelle. We are very happy to finally be able to share the music of the Shalabi Effect with people outside of the Montreal underground.

http://www.sendspace.com/file/4mxr2k MINSK - Out Of A Center Which Is Neither Dead Nor Alive
From the band's official biography: "Drawing its nominal inspiration from a remote Belarussian city nestled deep amidst the in-betweens of the East and the West, a city that has been burned to the ground on several occasions only to be rebuilt like a Phoenix rising from its ashes, Minsk is a sort of dark cerebral experimentation... an emotive conceptualization that sears the visceral and hopes for something real... something between the conscious and the unconscious... a roller coaster of passion, noise, rhythm, and trance." Yes, exactly.
Minsk can be described as nothing other than Experimental Metal because they are definitely Metal, but they are genre-defying and rather experimental in their scope. In a recent interview with Arch Enemy's Michael Amott, the stratification of Metal was discussed and he had this to offer about labels and all the supposed subgenres: "...now it seems like these boxes are getting smaller and smaller and it's not that fun sitting in a box that small." So many other bands seem to be mixing and matching influences and genres these days, and that's all well and good, but Minsk is truly a beast unto themselves.
The band plays a type of Metal steeped in crusty Doom with psychedelic, earthen tones clearly dominating the process that often run headlong into dirge territory. Vocals are split among three persons and results in a varied approach, perhaps necessarily, but whereas Nile does the same with ultra-guttural success, Minsk has a very tribal motif going between the voices and the tom-rich drumming -- pummeling, really. At times the mammoth-length songs (6 songs in ~65 minutes means an average running time of over 10 minutes per, junior) achieve a spaced-out fuzz akin to Sons of Otis using broken Orange amps.
The closest comparisons are obviously mid-era Neurosis -- particularly in terms of drumming, acoustic passages, and multiple vocal patterns -- and perhaps early Mastodon, but relying on these references alone may be disingenuous to the band or even to you, the reader. If you like your Doom soaked in tribal grain alcohol and set aflame by fuzzed out electronics, Minsk is your band. "Recording with producer Sanford Parker at Volume Studios has yielded both their At A Loss debut full length album and a new bass player in Parker himself, also noted for his play in the 'megalithic doom outfit' Buried at Sea." One dies, another is reborn. Like the phoenix. Like Minsk. And I like it a lot. So should you.
