So I totally joined this forum based on me finding this thread. So much great stuff on here! And big thanks to the guy who uploaded all the downy stuff awhile ago. My friend and I have been searching for that stuff forever...
Here are my additions to this thread:
Bluebeard-Bluebeard
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?2ngmzqmlmrwBluebeard were a short-lived band encompassing the style of early American emo. This stuff is really good! Unfortunately this was their only album and they broke up soon after it's release. However some of the members went to form As Meias, a band who further pushed the envelopes of their emocore sound mixed with a heavier post-rock sound.
As Meias- As Meias
http://rapidshare.com/files/154412097/ASMEIAS.zip.htmlWell if you read what I said above, As Meias are basically the more abrasive and post-rock heavy version of Bluebeard. If you dig stuff like Lite, Toe, or te you'll definitely be into this. It basically takes the great Japanese instrumental bands out there and adds vocals on top of that.
BOaT- RORO
http://www.twitter.com/?d=DT4EUPYROne of my favorite albums of all time. It's hard to put this album into words except that it is the perfect Summer album. Also very post-rock heavy but with plenty of pop sensibilities. The vocals are very melancholy and soothing, sometimes even reminiscent of a singer such as Damo Suzuki. This was BOaT's last album before some of the members went off to form the jazz-fusion (or whatever genre) band Natsumen.
