About Rising Phoenix Music

Welcome to Rising Phoenix Music, a blog that's not so one-sided and biased, but has a variety of music that could suit the different tastes of others. I post and review heavy, brutal, loud, soft, relaxing, chill, and experimental music, so look through my archives, we might just have what you're looking for. I made this blog for the sake of these artists--new and old--to share my opinion on their music, and to tell you why I like it and why you might like it too! The artists and albums I post here all deserve to be known, praised, and remembered. I simply want to promote a vast variety of good music and to help out the bands and artists that deserve your attention, not piracy and stealing to deprive these bands of their income. I also believe that you cannot fully judge a band or musician until you have heard most of their material completely, which is why the albums are up for download. I urge you to buy the albums, buy their merchandise, go see them live (if they're still together) and support them!

1. Day One
2. Day Two
3. Day Three
4. Day Four
5. Day Five
6. Day Six
7. Day Seven
8. Day Eight

This is their fourth album, and I love it because it runs like a musical story. I've always loved Explosions In The Sky for the fact that they have no vocalist at all, but simply speak through their beautiful melodies and compositions. If you're going to get one of their albums, you might as well get them all, because they're all good.

1. A Song For Our Fathers
2. Snow And Lights
3. Magic Hours
4. Look Into The Air
5. Glittering Blackness
6. Time Stops
7. Remember Me As A Time Of Day

This is Explosions In The Sky's first release and it's as beautiful, relaxing, and talented as all of the albums they have released afterward. My favourite song is probably the opening track, A Song For Our Fathers... the first guitar melody that fades in is beyond soothing and will put you to sleep like a baby.

2. Yasmin The Light
3. The Moon Is Down
4. Have You Passed Through This Night?
5. A Poor Man's Memory
6. With Tired Eyes, Tired Minds, Tired Souls, We Slept

Their second release, and an amazing one at that. Yasmin The Light is such an awesome song. Like all of their albums, this is very relaxing. If you're new to Explosions In The Sky, this is actually a great album to start with.

(For all those who had trouble downloading this, I apologize. I have fixed it now.)

Explosions In The Sky - All Of A Sudden I Miss Everyone


Album:
All Of A Sudden I Miss Everyone
Genre:
Instrumental/Ambient/Post-Rock
Year: 2007
MySpace
Download Here

1. The Birth And Death Of The Day
2. Welcome, Ghosts
3. It's Natural To Be Afraid
4. What Do You Go Home To?
5. Catastrophe And The Cure
6. So Long, Lonesome

This is the first album I heard from this band, and immediately I was hooked on them. This is actually their most recent release, but it's my favourite. This band has a style of writing that is quite unique in its simplicity, and the music is very beautiful, moving, and relaxing. Perfect to get really stoned to or to put on before bed. I recommend this to anyone who wants something very calm to chill out to.
