Last.fm journals are a place to talk about all things music. http://www.last.fm/user/Richardthegreat/journal/2009/06/24/2tls11_ulver_-_the_wolves_are_loose Wed, 24 Jun 2009 12:37:43 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/Richardthegreat/journal/2009/06/24/2tls11_ulver_-_the_wolves_are_loose So with Ulver starting to withdraw from the lab and head out in to the field for the first time and the possibility that this may become an extended event, I though it would be interesting to get others perspective on the potential setlist they may play.

I have decided to look at this from what I percieve is Ulver's current perspective i.e. No Bergtatt, no Nattens Madrigal and very little if no Kveldssanger. Also it's hard to judge what they will do with certain releases, will they play tracks from Metamorphosis? Will they play indivdual pieces from Lyckantropen Themes or combined tracks? Would they touch upon their Silence Teaches Us How To Sing Ep? So my choices are based on what they may realistically play (with some exceptions) and of course what I would personally love to hear.

For the sake of argument I'll use a set list of between 1 Hour 30 and 2 Hours:



Taken from: Svid Negger
Song: Preface
Length: 1:42

Many bands use dramatic pieces to arrive to, very few can claim these as their own.



Taken from: Kveldssanger
Song: Nattleite
Length: 2:11

The chances of ulver playing this song are unfortunately quite low, I would have thought if anything they would play their remake of this song Eitttlane, this and the fact they see Kveldssanger as an immature period of their career. This song would act excellently as a true introduction, I can just imagine a shroud of mist descend upon the stage as ulver break into this song, no words just music.



Taken from: Blood Inside
Song: For the Love of God
Length: 4:11



Taken from: Shadows Of The Sun
Song: Let the Children Go
Length: 3:50



Taken from: Teachings In Silence
Song: Darling Didn't We Kill You?
Length: 8:51



Taken from: A Quick Fix Of Melancholy
Song: Little Blue Bird
Length: 6:35



Taken from: Theme's From William Blakes Marriage Between Heaven & Hell
Song: The Argument, Plate 2
Length: 4:03



Taken from: Blood Inside
Song: Your Call
Length: 6:07



Taken from: Perdition City
Song: Hallways of Allways
Length: 6:35



Taken from: Shadows Of The Sun
Song: Like Music
Length: 3:30



Taken from: Shockadelica
Song: Thieves In the Temple
Length: 3:11

Granted Garm would have to take full control of the vocals on this track, but I still think it would be interesting to witness live.



Taken from: Metamorphosis
Song: Limbo Central
Length: 3:37



Taken from: Lyckantropen Themes
Song: Theme 7, Theme 8 and Theme 9
Length: 2:47, 4:17 and 4:55

The idea of playing one track is pointless, in all fairness even a couple of songs take away the impact the album as a whole gives. However, to not play anything of LT would be such a shame and as playing the album as one collective track is not an option, I choose three tracks that summarise the feeling of the album.



Taken from: Blood Inside
Song: Christmas
Length: 6:15



Taken from: A Quick Fix Of Melancholy
Song: Vowels
Length: 6:18]]> http://www.last.fm/user/Richardthegreat/journal/2009/04/23/2o79qe_recommend_me_some_damn_music Thu, 23 Apr 2009 08:19:22 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/Richardthegreat/journal/2009/04/23/2o79qe_recommend_me_some_damn_music So I'm going through one of those 'I can't find any decent music' stages in my life. I can't really say exactly what i'm looking for because i'm willing to give anything a shot. Have a look at my charts to see if you can get any inspiration from there.

I do however prefer male vocals either singing/growling/screaming though I also enjoy music that infuses female vocals on occasion, i'm a sucker for acoustic pieces in the vein of Agalloch.

Shit to be honest recommend me black metal, sludge, electronic, acoustic, hip hop whatever and i'll even be kind enough to tell you what I think of said band, i'll also give a pony to the winning recommendation. GO!
