That's the weakest Shibayan album, OP.

I have made some progress with my M3-30 downloads this weekend, here's my thoughts.

[Sketch Up! Recordings] JP-HD#02
Standard UK Hardcore/Hard House/Trance album, nothing spectacular but good if you like that sort of thing
Sampler: http://soundcloud.com/sketchup_recordings/jp-h-d-02-crossfade-suhd-002

[Cubegrams] SUPER AURA:
Great Progressive Trance album, some really nice tracks from some quality producers. Very pleased after the somewhat disappointing NOT 4 on the FLOOR (which would have been great if there was no brostep on it)
Sampler: http://soundcloud.com/chankodiving/super-aura-crossfade-demo

[Massive New Krew] Massive Circlez 2:
I'm not a huge fan of Hardstyle but I really liked this, USAO canes it as always and the rest of the album is also good. If you don't like Hardstyle, I wouldn't bother. It might be a nice album to get into Hardstyle though.
Sampler: http://soundcloud.com/massive-new-krew/ms2-crossfade-demo

[Altanaphixx] Lovestract:
3rd solo album from .fmy. Nice Trance/House stuff. Slightly long for my likely without enough variety to keep it interesting though, but good.
Sampler: http://soundcloud.com/fmy238/lovestract-xfade

[不可逆ハードコア] 匪天:
UK Hardcore/Hard Trance album. Was expecting something harder based on the label but I really liked it. Skirts brostep territory once or twice but it can be ignored
Sampler: http://soundcloud.com/hukagyaku-hardcore/m3-1

[Illegal Wave Records] Our Lost Ones:
Hardcore album, short enough to an Ep really. Good if you like harder EDM.
Sampler: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hxsFzZQTe4

I sort of want to listen to [Kusemono Records] BASSCORE since I heard it's got D&B on it but it's mainly brostep and I don't want to have to sit through to get to what I bet is probably some mediocre Jump-Up esque D&B tracks. So instead I spent the evening listening to Jungle remixes of Top Cat, General Levy, Cutty Ranks and Posion Chang.

>>10079847
Yeah, but it was what I was listening at that moment so I figured why not post it.

[AcuticNotes] Abstreact
Last track: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcbwlTMcOpo

My favorite M3-30 release so far, along with Unitone Phase: 01.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPNgG6xoHDs
Found out about this band recently, they're pretty awesome

I just leave Gensokyo, /a/, or /jp/ radio on in the background

>>10080210

Just adding to this:

[Psycho Filth Records] The Psycho Filth Vol 6 Distorted Desire:
Really good Hardcore/Speedocre/Gabber album. Definitely recommended for harder EDM fans, top quality like all Psycho Filth Releases.
Sampler: http://soundcloud.com/filthy-666/the-psycho-filth-vol6

I managed to also find [PFEX-001] The Distorted Zoo after nearly two years so that's good as well I guess.

>>10080589

Thanks for the descriptions,
very much appreciated

Can't wait till the M30 J-core albums get ripped and uploaded in lossless on nyaa or something


currently listening to this gem that i found

This is pretty good. I like how there's a download on their website too.

Finally got around to relistening to this after two years (HD switch and whatnot). It's still pretty damn good.

>>10080335
>they're pretty awesome

I agree completely.

On the matter of finding out stuff, I've recently came across this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvMLv5Zy7ro&feature=relmfu

>>10089244
Huh, this is pretty good.
Guess I'll download one of their albums.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRjyoTfG_Oc

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hm0lrdsxrBs
Just started listening to this album, so this is the only song I've heard.
Good so far.

>>10089244
Too bad many of the guitar solos are pure unmelodical wanking. It ruins the songs for me, I can't listen to them, I guess autism.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYn1DsbLBQw

Tamaonsen, can't stop listening to it.
Gotta unpack more albums to find something else.

>>10094598
I don't even know what this is, but I see a lot of links, so it must be good.

>>10094555
This was really really hard to find. Thank god there were two seeders.

This is by far my favorite album from ALiCE'S EMOTiON. Most vocal tracks on it are excellent and then there's Nemesis and Blood Sacrifice by Betwixt & Between. Can't stop listening to this.

>>10094589
No, no, it's perfectly understandable. And they introduce way too many dissonance and off-key notes in their works as well. I guess it's just the genre, since Sekken-ya also does this crap a lot.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qT_t5hCUW04
Anyway, this is nothing short of wonderful. GCHM keeps making consistently good arranges that just feels so right for me.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDdbPvtNcaA
The way they tend to combine (sometimes loosely) related songs together just makes it even better.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fS09GNFfbAo
Found this recently, I really like folk-ish Touhou arranges.

Can't for the life of me find find a download for the album though.

Not finding myself listening to a lot of doujin stuff in between comikets. I guess I'm just bored of the stuff.

Where's Remilia?

I've been listening to these albums a lot lately:

TeddyLoid - Electric Alice
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qr7q2pmhmPo

ORANGEJAM - lovemontblanc
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKwWfD2NJaQ

>>10080210
>NOT 4 on the FLOOR
>brostep
i'm going to pretend you're just using "brostep" interchangeably with "music i don't like"

why are you comparing two albums of completely different genres and styles? you should instead compare super aura to thcomp albums, and maybe you'll see that it was actually fairly mediocre (well, that's opinion). n4otf was a quality varied hardcore release.

>>10094555
still the greatest goa track I've ever heard.

>>10094592
the sanae-san song made that album for me.

>>10096234
Hey the Electric Alice one is pretty good! Do you happen to have a mediafire link?

Does anyone know if Massive Circlez 2 has been uploaded in lossless or 320k somewhere? I only have a shitty V2.

One of the two albums I've been listening to a lot lately.

Let's not start this shit again.

>>10096366
V2 is transparent so you're fine.

>>10096472
Can you give us some examples?

I have a question. Why do some artists put Touhou on their cover even if none of the tracks are Touhou related?

>>10094878
Also my favourite ALiCE's EMOTiON album. Tsukasa - Accelerator was great: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEVjpVBWFyw

>>10096234
>i'm going to pretend you're just using "brostep" interchangeably with "music i don't like"

Most of Not 4 on the Floor was D&B apart from Irus and maybe Shaman Cure-All's tracks, almost no hardcore on it; the site for it even says NO 4/4 KICKS, NO TEMPLATE, NO PROBLEM (P*Light's track is basically Netsky and much like him he uses those annoying synths but it's more tolerable). If the Kenta-V.ez and Noizenecio didn't use Brostep/US Electro-house synths, I would have liked it much more. That's all I meant by it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiDrtooEGf0

>>10096479
dnb is arguably part of the hardcore genre. nothing about hardcore implies 4/4 last I checked, but half of the album is 4/4 anyway.

genki - hardcore
p*light - bbhc
lv.4 - bbhc/trance
kenta - dubstep/electro-house
irus - psytrance
suge - dnb
noizenecio - electro-house i guess?
cure-all - dnb/random shit

it depends who you ask, but afaik that's pretty much all heavily related to electronic hardcore.

i just don't appreciate how people use the apparently derogatory term "brostep" to refer to any techno/bass saws they don't like. it's usually not "step" at all, it implies all dubstep music is inherently bad (or even includes those synths at all), and for those reasons it's disrespectful to people who do enjoy music featuring such sounds.

but hey i'm in the minority so do whatever you want.
>edgystep ishiggies 2013

>>10096536
I'm seeing you guys arguing but I barley understand anything you are saying.

I just download music from threads like this.

>>10096546
Thanks for the input!

>>10096546
ehh I'm not really arguing anything. even the definitions of music genres are all just opinions. im just stating my opinion on the genres from that album. you're free to take it or leave it.

tbh i thought kenta's track was shit anyway.

>>10096555
You welcome.

>>10096557
No, I'm just saying that all of these are confusing me. I don't think I really understood what's the difference between hardcore, electro and trace.

I just can't into genres.

>>10096536

I'm going to argue here just for the sake of it, don;t think I have anything against you anything bro. And yes that album is mainly 4/4, I don't know why they called it what they did.

My track by track genre breakdown of N4ttF would go:

01 Drum & Bass
02 Drum & Bass/Drumstep in small parts where they use the electro-house synths
03 Drum & Bass, closer to Liquid Funk but a bit too hard
04 Brostep, can't call this anything else
05 Psytrance
06 Drum & Bass, uses drums patterns very similar to Darkstep but the bass and synths are a bit softer than Darkstep
07 Brostep/electro-house
08 Sounds kind of IDM-like (very vaugely in the beginning) and then goes Hardcore at the very end

As for calling the P*Light and LV.4 tracks on there Breakbeat Hardcore (I assume that's what bbhc stands for), I can't let that slide, it sounds nothing like that. This is Breakbeat Hardcore: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmT7DgjOD8Q.. To my knowledge, this is the only Doujin produced Breakbeat Hardcore that isn't DJ Shimamura (who is godlike by the way): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URJn-PedUO0

>>10096603

As for Drum & Bass being under the umbrella term of Hardcore, I disagree somewhat. I agree it developed out of Jungle which itself developed from Breakbeat Hardcore, and in 91/92 that was just called Hardcore by people making it in the UK, but all three genres are classed under Breaks (named after the use of Amen Break which heavily features in all of them). From Breakbeat Hardcore, Jungle and Happy Hardcore splintered off, and Happy Hardcore became UK Hardcore. How Hardcore (meaning Masters of Hardcore/Enzyme etc.) developed in Europe, I'm not certain, it's probably a derivative from harder forms of Euro House which must have comes from US House or Techno.

I use the term brostep a bit too much since I'm quick to dislike that typical synth sound as it;s infiltrated far too many of the artists I like (like DJ Fresh, how can he go from making godly Techstep in Bad Company to his nextlevelism bullshit these days...). I don't even agree that Brostep is Dubstep, stylistically it's an evolution of Electro-House whereas Dubstep is an evolution of UKG/2-step (chronologically it's from Dubstep producer Rusko being a nob and over distorting his basslines but nevermind).

I don't even know why I am going into this so much, I know no one cares.

>>10096605
I appreciate it, anon.
I'm also sympathetic; I feel the same way when sperging out over 8/16-bit computers. I think a few people are interested in it, though!

>>10096603
>>10096605
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmT7DgjOD8Q
that sounds nothing like breakbeat hardcore to me. it sounds less like hardcore than breakbreat does by itself.

when i think of bbhc i think of pretty much everything fang does. basically this whole album:
http://soundcloud.com/fang-save/sacd-0015-dd2
i'm curious what genre you would call that? simply hardcore? i'm not saying you're necessarily less correct than i am.

other than that i don't really disagree with anything you said. dnb doesn't really belong under hardcore, but it shares a lot of elements. so it's acceptable to have dnb on a "hardcore" album, or vice versa, imo.

>>10096605
I like reading the history and technical details of things on account of my autism, so I appreciate it even though I don't actually care about dance music names and it weirds me out when people parse genres that much.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9trKe-WjYC8

This is not doujin music, but it's pretty fucking amazing nontheless.

http://chibitech.bandcamp.com/album/moe-moe-kyunstep

>>10096662

That to me is Drum & Bass, almost all tracks except for one or two. Sound.AVE's own website calls it: Cyber Drum'n Bass (not a genre)/ Rockin' Drum'n Bass (not a genre)/ Neurofunk (lol nothing on this album is Neurofunk)/ Darkstep (as Neurofunk)/ Futurestep (not a genre)/ Breakbeat Hardcore (disagree, will explain why)/ Dubstep (electro-house/Brostep more like).

I think you are getting the definition of Breakbeat Hardcore confused. Breakbeats literally just refers to any type of music which features cut and sampled breaks in any kind of dsicernable rhythm, so Breakcore/Big Beat/D&B/Jungle/Breakbeat Hardcore all fall under the category of Breaks.

Breakbeat Hardcore is the term given to the rave music of 92 in UK. As a genre, it evolved out of Acid House (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKbLI8EufNo)) and Detroit/Chicago/NY Techno (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2r7MjUDgZ0I).). Both of these probably arose out of the New York and Chicago house and disco scene but never mind about that. What british producers did was to combine the synth patterns of acid house and techno with breakbeats (most noteably the Amen Break) to give rise to what became known as Hardcore and later known Breakbeat Hardcore to differentiate it from European Hardcore. Listen to this track by massive rave artists Altern-8, it actually samples the Techno track linked earlier but notice the inclusion of the Breakbeats (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSg0-dMK5Fk).). The Prodigy's first album 'Experience' was all this kind of stuff as well. And then there's stuff like this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-94HI0-3Fj4)) which sort of samples the hoover type sound in Second Phase - Mentasm (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mmGxtylQXU)) and again adds breakbeats.

>>10096751

Breakbeat Hardcore was further developed by producers such as Krome & Time, Dave Charlesworth, Bay B Kane, DJ Red Alert & Mike Slammer, Manix/4 Hero, Rufige Kru/Metalheads, Orca, Ed Rush (very early Ed Rush only), Bizzy B (early Bizzy B), Nookie, 2 Bad Mice, Omni Trio and others and it all took off in a big way. It died out around 95 when Jungle became massive and by around 96-98 at the turn of Drum & Bass, it basically no longer existed. That, my friend, is Breakbeat Hardcore. I think you'd be hard pressed to find any other definition of it. I don't want to be confrontational but I am aware that is how I am coming across, so I apologise, just trying to clear up genre etymology.

>>10096649
>>10096667
When I start going on about this shit people think I might have ass-burgers (seeing as how the last two posts have been too long for one field and no one asked that level of response). They might be right but we'll never know.

>>10096546
Me too. I don't even know what I'm listening to most of the time, I just click an album and go.

http://youtu.be/XyFNWm8LrsA

I've been listening to this album for years (absolutely adore it), but I've only just decided to investigate further into Alstroemeria Records' discography. Can anyone perchance recommend another one of their CDs? Thanks in advance~

Can you guys post some albums with chill electronic music (non-vocal preferred)? I don't know what these genres are called. Is it house?

>>10096820
Check out Fragment Reactions, I've been listening to it for a few years and it never gets old.

>>10096759
no need to apologize. this is the reason i brought it up in the first place. we obviously have different sources for the definition, and you're probably more correct, historically speaking.

i just find it hard to lump everything into dnb like that. you either have to make up your own subgenre, or use someone else's (which potentially has branched off into many different conotations).

>>10096822
I usually see it just called "chill-out", but that can often lead you to jazz. you might like some albums from Golden City Factory and Attrielectrock.
I really liked Ms. Jiang Shi
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUxrbTCsJjo

also potentially:
[Shibayan Records] A procura de felicidade
[Flowering Night] FLOWERING NIGHT 2011 OPENING BGM (more like light trance)

>>10097183

Well Drum & Bass itself has sub-genres like Liquid Funk, Neurofunk, Darkstep, Techstep, Jump Up, Drumfunk and then some lesser used ones like Skullstep and Drill N Bass and equally retarded sounding shit.

The stuff on that Cubegrams album will fall closer to Liquid Funk than anything else, but I am hesitant to use that term for it since it should really be reserved for more melodic D&B with strings/jazz instruments throughout it, with or without vocals, in my opinion.

i've been listening to AD:60 and Unitone phase:01

AD:60's genre varies but there's a lot of ambient and experimental in there. not too thrilled with AD: Techno but this one's a pretty cool Diverse System album
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0S2t7Zsmy30
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Db2dBcuuUO4

Unitone phase:01 is mostly progressive house and trance but there are some funky bits mixed in as well

Minamotrance's new album has been uploaded, and it seems to be a mainly Drum & Bass album, I am excite (I even heard on Breakbeat Hardcore track on the crossfade).
