"I believe that some art created by
expressions of personal mind and thought, without the idea of real commercialism, and they could speak to you,
help you to know and learn more about life,and becoming your friends....sometimes art is much more easier to understand
than human itself..."

10 ALL TIME FAVOURITE ALBUMS :
DEPECHE MODE - VIOLATOR ...Much people will
agree that this album was masterpiece..Focusing more in the mood and
arrangements, the songs inside will keep your ear open as your soul flow
following the notes. It's dark,
sentimental, gloomy and absolutely diamond. I would
recommend Black Celebration to new listener as most influental album of
Depeche Mode, which show us the transition from naive dancing pop song to
the matured melodious synth driven music. But Violator will be the best album
they created i suppose..
ULTRAVOX - RAGE IN EDEN ...My
first introduction to Ultravox is when in junior high school ,and
it's embarassing, i stole a
compilation cassette from the drawer of my friend's brother which included
Vienna inside of it ( I would like to say sorry and apologize to him )...And
this is their first track to my ear, a bit strange but amazed ...of course Vienna could be the
most popular hits by Ultravox, but in Rage In Eden you will got the
real characteristic Ultravox sound that mixed synthpop and electronics with more
traditional rock instrumentation. The sound is more ambitious than Vienna,
the lyrics and arrangements have the grandiose New Romantic, musicfolio
wrote...Absolute
brilliant masterpiece...and im not stealing it.. :)
THE PSYCHEDELIC FURS - MIRROR MOVES ...I remember
buy this album when i was junior high school and i keep it for long times,
i dont really understand why i bought it in the first
time...its kind instinct
cause i know nothing about them, never heard them before, ...
the reason maybe because i thought the names were
cool ...but after i listen, the tunes stay with me and help me through many days
the voice of Richard Butler sounds desperately wonderful and get me hooked. From the opening
romantic "Ghost In You, ..she didn't fade.." and beautiful " Heaven, is the whole of a heart.."
this album is treasure..
NEW ORDER - BROTHERHOOD....The touch of pop
guitar mixed with synth line create a light atmosphere which make this album
very special. The well famous "Bizarre Love Triangle" is not the only song
that worth listening here even it's the wellknown hits..Every
songs inside have their own strength which keep your ears and mind open, you
will also hear Bernard Summer laugh while singing in " Every Seconds Count " The lyrics eazy to catch but still meaningful ..... I
would recommend this album as their greatest...just like the line of one
song's here New Order is the band that " sing intellectual songs of love"..
A FLOCK OF SEAGULLS - SELF TITTLED ..
.Futuristic, melodic, and this is what i called music .. "I ran" is becoming
their largest hits but you will find and explore the beauty inside all tracks here...Did
I forget to mention " Hairstyle?" :)
THE CURE - DISINTEGRATION ...The beat and the
mood that created here could take the listener pay attention from the first
song untill the end. The ballad "Pictures Of You " could be the most
romantic song they created. Nice album to listen when you fall in love or
hope for it...
JOY DIVISION - UNKNOWN PLEASURE....This was Joy
Division first full length album, Ian Curtis, the
former , the singer and the writer is known as the most
talented, visionary poet ever to grace the skimpy depths of pop which choose
to end his life in tragic suicide. This becoming the
most affecting and influential albums of their generation and the next.
YELLOW MAGIC ORCHESTRA - BGM...
I would like to compare YMO with Genious Band Kraftwerk,
When Kraftwerk release Autobahn and set a monumental movement for electronic
music, this band could be inspired by them, but the touch of the music
surely different, Ryuichi Sakamoto explore much more
melodious note inside the music ...take example of
rendering tone in " Cue" and the rhytm of anthem
"Technopolis". I would say this is the best band from Japan we could get
this far..
SISTERS OF MERCY - FLOODLAND ..Some people said Floodland isn't quite goth, it isn't quite club, it isn't quite rock and i
agree, Floodland is worth checking out even to people who normally aren't
into this kind of moody, 'goth' kinda stuff. Within it's genre, it's
regarded as a pioneering masterpiece, and it deserves every bit of it's
praise.. Musicfolio wrote..
NICK CAVE & THE BAD SEEDS - THE BOATMAN'S
CALL....No matter how life lets you down, you can always rest assured Nick
Cave is having a lousier time than you. Or at least pretending
to..Musicfolio wrote.. Some would like to call him a Gothic Elvis. Just like
rest of his album this one offer you great ballad songs, minimalist sounds with
piano, organ and guitar as the essential instruments, recurring themes of
love, loss, God, and death. Started with grasping line .." ..I dont believe
in intervention of God, but i know darling that you do..."
....And yes, there are many great musicians and
many albums from various genre, and i cant recommend it all, those albums i wrote above are
which i enjoyed to listen to ..every second of it....and before you get
tired reading it i'll limit it just ten...

"I've been waiting for a guide to come
and take me by the hand
Could these sensations make me feel
the pleasures of a normal man
New sensations bear the innocence -
leave them for another day
I've go the spirit, lose the feeling
take the shock away"DISORDER - Joy Division |
