I see what you did there

14 years is an "old girl"?

Oh and while I still remember, Bakemonogatari and all its prequels and sequels and whatnot. The lastest installment just finished and there's more to come at some point

Just make sure you find your way out, sooner or later

That list is in no way complete btw

Well, I used to be quite an anime junkie but it's been fading in recent years. Most of my favourites are from around 10 years ago, but there are some few good recent series too. Some recommendations with occasionally rather vague descriptions: ARIA (all 3 seasons). Slice of life to the maximum. Somewhat cutesy and occasionally a bit silly but very very atmospheric. Earth Girl Arjuna. Shouji Kawamori's take on the decline of Earth and modern society. Has a tendency to bring its points forward with a sledgehammer. Definitely worth watching though. Baccano!. Brilliant nonlinear storytelling with intertwining plots. Boogiepop Phantom. As above, but with shitloads of weird thrown into the mix. Love the sound design. Angel's Egg. A dozen lines of dialogue in a 70 minute movie. Unexplainable, just watch it Kino's Journey. A quite deeply philosophical journey into humanity. Eden of the East (series + 2 movies). One of the better recent series. Elfen Lied. Bloody, but for a reason (but not over the top). One of the best opening themes ever too. Honey & Clover (both seasons). An occasionally completely ridiculous (but in really good taste) comedy about a bunch of art students. Has enough drama too Kamichu!. An insecure middle school student becomes an equally insecure god. One of those series that just make you feel good. Flag. A docmentary style series about a war photographer. Brilliant in almost every way. Planetes. Space debris collectors maybe aren't the sexiest subject for a series but this is simply pure brilliance. Noir. One of my early favourites. Mushi-shi. Oozes with atmosphere. One of my absolute favourites. Clannad & Clannad After Story. The first season is a kinda cutesy highschool drama, After Story tears that all apart. Texhnolyze. Another rather inexplainable series. Haibane Renmei. One of the most beautiful and serene things I've ever experienced Black Lagoon (both seasons). Action with a badass attitude. I usually don't like action series that much, but this is fantastic. Paranoia Agent. More weirdness The Twelve Kingdoms. Don't watch if you can't stomach too much fantasy. But do watch if you want something rather epic (I'd suggest to stop watching at episode 39, the last 6 are crap). Spice & Wolf (both seasons). Fantastic, what else can I say. Monster. 75 episodes of mostly pure brilliance. The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (both seasons + movie). Just watch it Madoka Magica. Not your typical magical girl show. Grim and fantastic. Katanagatari. Quite an unusual art style. The Tatami Galaxy. Another fantastic oddball. Well, that should get you started

Well, this has guitars and is definitely no cheese. I mean, come on, it's The Delta after all http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ulep5l5CZuE

2013 seems to have been a quite strange year. Things fucked up a bit too much almost everywhere. Towards the end of the year I started calling 2013 "2012's hangover".

Stupid stupid me clicked on the link :/

Limited edition #38, arrived \o/

Ordered! The download was a nice surprise

Well, if not THE worst, at least one of my worst ones. 2014 should be a huge improvement if all goes well

"Downtempo"? That sounds a bit far-fetched

Oh yes! \o/ Will be in my NYE set for sure

Seems like my CD has arrived today. Hopefully I can pick it up tomorrow

Most probably Although I don't see a festival in Finland set on those dates yet, at least not on Facebook... I'm intrigued

Just take your time to perfect this. Sounds really good already edit: and very unmistakeably Elysium

I'm really liking that Tromesa track

BFI is a fantastic track Looking forward to this!

Kurbeats - Folktronica. I'd have no problem giving this the "album of the year" award.

Thanks for the reminder

So should we put our wishlist here or in that other thread? Anyway, off the top of my head, more to be added once I wade through my Neogoa playlist PharaOm - Cellar Door Screw Loose - From Fear To Eternity Uth - Ethereal Dream BlackStarrFinale - Uyulala Lunar Dawn - Blessings From Irij Trinodia - Deceive My Eyes Antares - Xibalba

Ordered! Nice name for the comp btw

Seen them live several times over the years, unfortunately not after the release of Astronautica My personal favourite: I'd say they're more straightforward and less synth/ambient trickery oriented than the Ozrics, not really "voyaging" music per se but a burst of pure energy (especially live).
