Parrhesia Posted August 12, 2016 Author Share Posted August 12, 2016 The song is a reference to the time it took pioneers to sail to Australia and New Zealand (hence the reference to "the tyranny of distance" - a history by Geoffrey Blainey), and a metaphor that refers to lead singer Tim Finn's nervous breakdown.[citation needed]The song was "discouraged from airplay" in Britain during the Falklands crisis by the BBC for reasons of morale - it was thought that references to leaky boats was not appropriate during the naval action in the war parrhesia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disinnocence Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 way to tie my record, asshole sorry about that. Got it For Cheap: it's pretty good man. not much else to say, i guess. Opaque Divinity: the vocals were weirdly mixed or something, but still a decent song. i used to be heavy into music (not epic doom metal, but similar) like this a few years ago, so i've always had an affinity for it. [Chinese Song Title]: the percussion made the song for me, tbh. Pioneer/Six Months In A Leaky Boat: the transition from the ambient synth intro to the rest of the song was slightly jarring (explains the split title), but it was super catchy and interesting enough (musically) for me to like it quite a bit actually. cool shit. Money Ministries: the large heart pretty much sums up my feelings about the song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dijon Mustard Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 (edited) sorry about that. brb finding it within myself to forgive you EDIT: i forgive you parrhesia i'd heard the phrase "the tyranny of distance" divorced from context before and had a prosegasm; now i know where it comes from. thus the trend of being educated by parrhesia songs/posts continues, even tho i'm already familiar with this tune. a nice tune thor vocals didn't floor me like the ones on the previous thor song did but like seemingly everyone else i loved the drumming Edited August 14, 2016 by Dijon Mustard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Integrity Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 (edited) oh yeah i should catch up so i can submit a new song i'm so cool DISINNOCENCE this is the kind of thing i make fun of my mate jim for listening to, but i was super into sounds like this like ten-twelve years ago fuccboi: technically quite good i think but something about it just isn't holding my interest and i'm not quite sure what. the final third got me going a little bit, though. silverdan "playback on other sites has been disabled by the author" fuck you then it's okay i guess. i can't get into this dude's tiny voice though. thor i'm having the opposite issue i have to a lot of submissions itt - i'm deeply in love with this guy's voice but i wouldn't say i more than 'like' the song. i don't think i've ever felt this combination of things before. please send help. parrhesia It Was Okay. Dijon Mustard i liked this song while i was listening to it but while i was sitting afterwards trying to collect my thoughts to post about it i realized i'd typed nothing about the song and had forgotten everything about it except that i enjoyed listening to it Esme i'm not really sure why but this is good by me, very nostalgic Edited August 15, 2016 by Integrity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dijon Mustard Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Integrity coming to appreciate how many genres kpop stars pull from. i mean who else would even bother with guitar like this currently Esme waited all 3 minutes 34 seconds for the patented esme enigmatic female vocalist to show up; seems i've been godot'd. it's probably a rather serious song about Technology and Society, but the dated sounds made it feel playful instead. nb.8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterIceTeaPeach Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 (edited) I guess it's the first song I really know in this thread due to my favor for the 80s.

Parrhesia Posted August 17, 2016 Author Share Posted August 17, 2016 i died yesterday but now I'm back; Disinnocence says "the drums in this song are beautifully crushing and the ethereal vibe of this song (and pretty much the whole EP, tbh) makes it a favorite of mine from the oceansize discography. " parrhesia says that your speakers aren't muted it's just very ambient with a slow buildup and takes about a minute to become 100% audible if you are Me, with Mildly Bad Hearing anyway excitingly come the friday by popular demand i'm gonna be making a new anarchist playlist. So any song posted in this thread will go there, and also to the combined Spiritual Figure of Music thread. smh i have to make one more click ...

Knight Falchion Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 At this point I don't really feel like posting my thoughts on all the ones I missed, though I remember really enjoying Got It For Cheap and Thor's standing out as being better(as in more aligned with my tastes) than the first one they shared I really dug today's contribution, though, and Disinnocence's notes sum up why.

Disinnocence Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 (edited) pink season when Ulsanbawi (I assume?): nice instrumentation. very inspiring. i like it. two thumbs up. [Anime Theme Song]: okay, just kidding but the song was pretty decent. Electricity: i feel like i'm travelling back in time to the sound of that synth, which is probably a good thing. this song make me want to get up and rebel against something. or maybe i'll just sit here. luv to have my fetish for mumbly post-rock catered to. any of their other stuff good? Well, Home & Minor is fairly unique in terms of their discography. It's supposed to be their equivalent to an "acoustic record, despite not being a record and featuring no acoustic guitars," so it's kind of hard to say. If you liked the song, then by all means, check out the rest of the EP. It's not a long investment, so what's there to lose? Anyway, I'd say the rest of their work falls into... well... something. Call it "post-progressive-art-rock" I guess. Frames would be my suggestion on where to start, which coincidentally being my favorite record by them; it's also the album I think best sums up their sound. Efflorescence and Self Preserved While The Bodies Float Up will sound similar to Frames, but the former is their most "raw" record (it being their first), and the latter is their heaviest record. Everybody Into Position would probably be what most fans would suggest to someone for first-time listening, since it's their most... commercial record. It is a good introduction, but Frames, imo, is a better album, so that's what I would go with. I think that's about everything.
