Haha!! Did anyone catch that? For a few seconds we were treated to the Top Gear guys blasting round some canyon roads in America to the tunes of Hell March!

Delightful.

Song: Calling my Name
By: Dragonland

If you are looking for a band that has the skill level of Dragonforce, but with just a little passion injected into the mix then look no further than Dragonland!

This song is a typical power-metal outing, but what draws me in are the vocal samples. At first I thought they were taken from a film or something, and was quite interested to find out which one and watch it. But after a bit of research I discovered they are the words of Charles Manson. Which made it all a bit chilling!

I…

Song: Who’s the Enemy
By: Feeder

So Feeder are here again… A while back I compared the album this song is from (Silent Cry) to The Music’s latest album and concluded it wasn’t as good. Now I’m not here to turn that around, but I do feel that Who’s the Enemy is worth a special mention.

As I said all those months ago this album doesn’t really have a fresh new sound… That is particularly true of this song. There’s just something about it that makes me take it a little more seriously than the others. I…

Song: Worry About You
By: Ivy

So last night I started watching ‘the 4400’. It seems like it’s gonna develop into quite a good series. One thing that I really liked about it was the music. A lot of it was obviously specially composed for the show – but during one montage scene this song was used.

It was perfectly placed, it’s a very chilled song, with a strong sense of melancholy, and almost reminiscence (in an odd sort of way). Very similar to my recent post about Zero 7, it’s a down tempo masterpiece.

What…

Song: Star Guitar
By: The Chemical Brothers

Would you believe I spent about 4 or 5 years searching for this song!? I heard it once on TV and since then I desperately searched for it… Now you might be thinking ‘how can it take you that long?’ It’s not that obscure a song!

Well when I heard it I was only young and hadn’t really entered the world of dance music so I didn’t recognise it as a Chemical Brothers song. So I was stuck not knowing the name of the artist or song, only a memory of what it…

Time for another installment of the Recommended Music Blog Driving Songs Play list! Last time I posted one of these I only had rock/metal songs in the list, this time I’ve gone for a different approach. There are still a few rock tunes, but there are also quite a few dance songs too! Either way, every song I’ve included is here because when it comes on in the car it makes me want to drive just that little bit faster ;p

I’m not going to give you a full review of each song, it’s up to you to decide if…

Song: Inis Mona
By: Eluveitie

Well now, tell me the truth, is this something you would expect from a group of Swiss people!? Apparently they blend a mix of traditional Swiss instruments and vocals, with traditional Celtic instruments and vocals, along with traditional battle metal instruments and vocals… What a concoction!

Something as odd as this is likely to either sound absolutely divine, or hideously disturbing… I’m glad to say that in this case it’s the first!

Eluveitie’s sound is nothing short of epic. The sound created is so powerful and atmospheric it’s difficult not to be drawn in,…

Song: Now I’m Everyone
By: Biffy Clyro
Album: Puzzle

Ahh, Biffy Clyro – once a sure-fire explosion of experimental post-hardcore madness! Now more of a stable mainstream rock group. I find it a shame, but I suppose nothing stays the same forever.

My comments are directed at ‘Puzzle’ as a whole, and I suppose might be a little unfair. I think my problem with the album is that it’s such a dramatic change of sound for the band. Of course, it’s unmistakeably them, but there’s just something different. I imagine if this album had been released by some one like…

Song: Home
By: Zero 7

Well it’s been a while since I’ve made any posts… and I apologise for that. But I’m back and I’m trying to get my act together in terms of this blog. So here we go again!

I’m re-kicking things off with a nice little chilled tune from Zero 7. It’s pretty much what you’d expect from them, a smooth down-tempo song that could almost breeze past you it’s so light!

I guess that’s one of it’s biggest downfalls, as well as strengths. It’s just so relaxing that if you’re not in the right mood to…
