Ved Buens Ende - Written in Waters

It's always sad to see great bands dissolve after releasing one or just a few albums. Such is the case with Ved Buens Ende, a Norwegian metal band who incorporated a large variety of musical styles into their own unique avant-garde style. This is the only full length album they released. Upon listening to it, you will hear jazz, acoustic interludes, black metal, and doom metal influences throughout. For fans of avant-garde music or bands who don't know their own genre, Notes Are Shattered brings you Ved Buens Ende's Written in Waters.

Mediafire only allows uploads up to 100MB, so from here on out, all albums greater than 100MB will be broken into multiple parts. You'll need each part to unzip the whole album, I believe, so remember to pick up all the parts of a split album.

Enjoy!

The complete Buckethead - Part One: Solo Recordings

Here is the complete solo Buckethead discography, minus the extremely rare early Giant Robot demo tape (not Giant Robot NTT, but Buckethead's first solo release... check the Buckethead entry on Wikipedia if you are confused). In the coming days/weeks, I plan on uploading his entire discography, so if any of the 8 people who read this thing have any Death Cube K, Corn Bugs, El Stew, Praxis, Pieces, or Thanatopsis (apart from Anatomize) albums and would be willing to upload them, I would in turn upload any album (or albums, if you up more than one) you like. Any soundtracks he's done would be great as well. And now, here are the albums. Reviews/descriptions may or may not be coming shortly, when I don't have an essay and seven one page papers to write. Also, I noticed that I'm missing track 17 from the Bucketheadland Blueprints album. I'm not sure what the title of it is right now, but Decapitation should be track 18, and everything else after that is also one track higher, obviously. Go here to download track 17. There are a couple other Buckethead things for download in that directory as well, including the Giant Robot NTT album.

Nurse With Wound - Livin' Fear of James Last or... Joy in the House of Dada!!!! a Nurse With Wound variety pack

Nurse With Wound is one of the most prolific musical groups ever, though to call them a "musical group" is probably misleading for two reasons:
1. Apart from their first three releases, NWW has been one man, Stephen Stapleton, along with a small collective of people he frequently collaborates with, and
2. Quite often you'd be hard pressed to call what Stapleton does "music", at least in the common sense of the word.

Stapleton is more prone to rampant sonic experimentalism than actual music. Contained on this album alone is everything from typical rock instruments randomly being "played" and then chopped up and processed like crazy ("The Six Buttons of Sex Appeal") to extreme industrial music ("Cold") to Brian Eno-esque ambient music ("Sea Armchair") to an almost normal rock song ("Two Shaves and A Shine" with David Tibet of Current 93 on vocals). Every song presents a different facet of Nurse With Wound, whether dark, scary, comedic, upbeat, relaxing, and pretty much everything in between.

While cramming 27 years and 100+ albums into two and a half hours may seem impossible, this two disc set, compiled, mixed, sequenced, and edited by Stapleton himself, does an honorable job. It may trip up a little in including multiple tracks off a couple albums when there were over a hundred albums to choose from, but the tracks are all so different that had the back of the CD case not listed what album each song was off of, I never would have guessed that some of the tracks were off the same album.

Expect more NWW albums in the future, as I'm only a handful of albums away from having their entire catalogue.

Orange Twin Field Works (Jeff Mangum) - Volume 1 (Full Album)

Here is a 33 minute sound collage of a Bulgarian folk music festival, put together and produced by none other than Neutral Milk Hotel's own Jeff Mangum. I'll be honest and say that I haven't listened to it yet since I just got it, but I know some people who wanted it, so I decided to be nice and not make them wait any longer. Here it be:



1. Untitled/Track 1/Whatever you'd like to call it... it is the entire album, after all
