Artist: Meshuggah: mp3 download Genre(s): Metal Metal: Thrash Metal: Progressive Metal: Death,Black Rock Metal: Alternative Discography: Catch Thirtythree Year: 2005 Tracks: 13 Catch 33 Year: 2005 Tracks: 13 I Year: 2004 Tracks: 1 Nothing Year: 2002 Tracks: 10 Rare Trax Year: 2001 Tracks: 10 Chaosphere Year: 1998 Tracks: 8 The True Human Design Year: 1997 Tracks: 6 Destroy Erase Improve Year: 1995 Tracks: 10 None Year: 1994 Tracks: 4 Contradictions Collapse Year: 1991 Tracks: 13 Offering a complex form of metallic element that combined the wholesale adverturism of mathematics rock candy, the flake tempos of experimental jazz, and the stunning ferociousness of thrash metallic element, Meshuggah raised the bar for metallic element bands all over upon their debut. The roots of Swedish metal dance band Meshuggah were planted in 1985; primitively named Metallien, the creation get hold included frontman Roger Olofsson, guitarists Peder Gustafsson and Fredrik Tordendahl, bassist Janne Wiklund and drummer Örjan Lundmark. After a few demos made the rounds, Metallien stony-broke up and Fredrik Thordendal continued the dance band with a different lineup and a dissimilar name. The original lineup of Meshuggah as well included singer Jens Kidman, guitar player Johan Sjögren, bassist Jörgen Lindmark and drummer Per Sjögren. A fistful of demos followed ahead Kidman left wing the group to form a new outfit, Calipash, with guitar player Torbjörn Granström, bassist Peter Nordin and drummer Niclas Lundgren; the living members of Meshuggah shortly disbanded, and when Granström left wing Calipash, Thordendal assumed guitar duties in the new band. Kidman and Thordendal so in agreement to reform the Meshuggah name, and in 1989 the dance band released a three-song mini-LP; after sign language to Nuclear Blast (and swapping Lundgren for new drummer Tomas Haake), they issued the uncut Contradictions Collapse in 1991. Second guitar player Mårten Hagström was recruited for 1993's None EP, followed two long time by and by by Selfcaged; in the meantime, however, the radical was forced to asseverate a low profile -- first-class honours degree Thordendal cut off a finger in a woodworking accident, then Haake injured his helping hand in a mysterious poor boy misadventure. Destroy Erase Improve appeared later on in 1995, and won over critics with their foolhardy tempos and abstract approach. In 1997 Meshuggah returned with The True Human Design EP; that same year, Thordendal's face propose, Special Defects, released their LP Colloidal suspension Niger Within. Meshuggah reunited for 1998's Chaosphere, a thunderous album that was unbearably impenetrable in its songwriting and cRO. Several successful tours followed, and their incredible abilities were starting to get recognized by mainstream music magazines, peculiarly those consecrate to particular instruments. Once they left wing the touring lap, the ring was surprisingly quiet, cooking up newfangled material for a few old age piece on a rarities magnetic disk marked the time. But in the summer of 2002, they released Nothing, a masterpiece of atmosphere that added psychedelic touches to their ever tightening sound. Unique in nigh every path, the album didn't get much of a mainstream impact but had alloy fans banging their heads to 7/4 tempos and esoteric lyrics. A safe word from Ozzy Osbourne's son Jack scored the ring a situation on the annual Ozzfest tour, where they flourished on the instant stage, often stealing the show with their original and ferine maths alloy. After a brief break, Meshuggah released the I EP in 2004. Composed of a unmarried epical lead, the complex arrangements of I were scarcely a suggestion of what was to follow. Their adjacent album, Catch Thirty-Three, was released the following year and proved to be their most challenging to date. |

Trombone thespian, composer, and bandleader, Willie Colón was one of the pioneers of Latin American music. Despite initial criticism, Colón's album El Malo has become known as one of the first albums to feature the "Unexampled York Sound" that sparked a renewed interest in Latin music during the seventies. Colón has been implemental in the careers of such Latin musicians as Rubén Blades, world Health Organization first sang with Colón's dance band in 1975, and Celia Cruz, for whom Colón has produced such albums as Merely They Could Have Done This Album in 1977 and the highly successful duette album Celia & Willie in 1981. Colón has likewise produced albums for Ismael Miranda, Sophy, Soledad Bravo, and the late Hector Lavoe, world Health Organization american ginseng with his banding in the early '70s. Inspired by the music of assorted cultures, Colón has recorded with such musicians as Puerto Rican cuatro thespian Yomo Toro and David Byrne. Colón's composing "Che Che Cole," adapted from a Ghanaian children's song, was used by Ntozake Shange in the melodious play For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf. In addition to 11 Grammy nominations and one Grammy honour, Colón has received a CHUBB fellowship from Yale University, the most esteemed honor disposed by the Ivy League school. Colón ran for the United States Congress, representing New York's seventeenth Congressional District, in 1992.
Starting to play the trumpet at the age of 12, Colón switched to the trombone iI age later. Making his recording debut in 1967, for Al Santiago's Futura pronounce, Colón became a victim of misfortune when the label folded. Colón was a lot more successful when he sign with Johnny Pacheco's Fania pronounce. When his vocalizer failed to make Colón's first session for the label, Pacheco suggested Hector Lavoe as a surrogate. The collaboration proved fruitful when two singles from Colón's starting time two albums (El Malo, Guisando) -- "Jazzy" and "I Wish I Had a Watermelon" -- became hits. Lavoe remained a lively member of Colón's striation until the mid-'70s when an increased drug addiction caused him to miss or evince up late for several gigs. Although their partnership formally complete in 1975, Colón and Lavoe continued to work together. Lavoe's last-place album, Strikes Back, released in 1987, was produced by Colón.
In 1975, Colón balanced his schedule as conductor of the Latin Jazz All Stars with studies in medicine theory, make-up, and orchestration. His increased noesis nonrecreational off quick. In 1978, Colón was named Musician, Producer, and Trombone Player of the Year in a readers poll conducted by Latin New York. Three years by and by, he received an prize as Musician of the Year and his record album Fantasmas was named Album of the Year. Colón continued to garner spat when his album Canciones del Solar de los Aburridos received a Grammy award in 1982.
Although they met backstage ahead a concert in Panama in 1969, Colón and Blades didn't begin collaborating until basketball team long time later. While working on the album The Good-The Bad-The Ugly, Colón asked Blades to sing on the Blades-penned tune "El Cazanguero," which reflected on Blades' experiences as a law educatee working in a Panamanian prison house. The session was so square that Blades became a full-time member of Colón's striation following the departure of Lavoe. Their 1978 record album Siembra became the top-selling album in Fania's catalogue. Despite their success, Blades severely quarreled with label president Jerry Mascucci over money. Although Colón recorded two solo albums -- El Baquine de Angelitos Negros in 1977 and Solo in 1979 -- and Blades recorded a solo album, Maestra Vida, in 1980, their solo work failed to equate the commercial success of their spliff efforts.
In 1981, the deuce musicians resumed their partnership with Blades performing coro on Colón's solo album Fantasmas. The following year, they collaborated on the Grammy-winning record album Canciones del Solar de los Aburridos, which yielded the hits singles "Tiburon," "Ligia Elena," and "Te Estan Buscando." Their partnership again proved short-lived as Colón and Blades rip up afterwards working on the picture The Last Fight. The rip was far from cordial and the deuce musicians continued to feud until reuniting for a concert at the Hiram Bithorn Stadium in San Juan in March 1992. Despite collaborating on the record album Tras la Tormenta in 1995, Colón and Blades recorded their parts individually. Following a reunion concert at the Hollywood Bowl in 1997, Colón and Blades performed a series of concerts together.
In the late '80s, Colón formed a new band, Legal Aliens, with jr. musicians. Signing with Sony, Colón and the striation recorded Color Americano in 1990 and Honra y Cultura in 1991. Two years by and by, Colón recorded Hecho en Puerto Rico with an all-star striation featuring ex-members of the Fania All-Stars, Papo Lucca and Bobby Valentin. Since leaving Sony over a want of promotional support, Colón continued to remain active.

Kylie's great, says Nick Cave
IT'S not often you hear the dark prince of rock, Nick Cave, deliver a glowing endorsement. But one of the most esteemed musicians in Australia has come out for Kylie.
Cave has traded his snarling cave-man charm for adoring appreciation. As the divine Miss M began her X 2008 tour in Paris yesterday, Cave delivered a glowing review when asked his thoughts on the singer, with whom he collaborated on the 1996 hit Where the Wild Roses Grow. "Kylie Minogue is the greatest thing that has happened to Australian music," Cave told Cream magazine. "Before her the world didn't have a f...ing clue about our music nor any interest in it. Kylie has more greatness in her little fingernail than every f...ing Aussie indie band put together." The man has spoken.
