Soul Drift

Following on from part one & two, here are five more of my recent purchases:

Peeping Tom – Peeping Tom

I should have bought this album when it came out in 2006 – I was completely obsessed with it back then! I still love the album & it’s another different Patton album for me to own. It’s supposedly ‘Patton goes pop’ (but it’s more trip/hip-hop). I think people would be surprised that I like it so much, but I think it’s clever & a fun listen.

Die So Fluid – Spawn of Dysfunction

Someone gave me a copy of this album a couple of years ago to see if I would like them but I never got around to buying it. I thought it was about time I did! Die So Fluid have quickly become one of my favourite bands in recent years & although their second album is my current favourite, I still like their debut a lot.

Agalloch – Pale Folklore

This atmospheric/folk metal album is another I had been meaning to buy for a long time but it had either been out of stock (physically) or very expensive (digitally). I’m glad I have finally got my hands on their debut, even if it was just for the awesome ‘She Painted Fire Across the Skyline (Parts 1, 2 & 3)’ & ‘Hallways of Enchanted Ebony’.

How Like A Winter – …Beyond My Grey Wake

I discovered this gothic/doom metal band through Last.FM a while back & I’m glad I got the opportunity to purchase a release by them. This is their debut & only full-length release so far. I like the contrast of harsh & clean vocals, metal & strings on the album & there are some really beautiful piano instrumentals too.

Colt – You Hold On To What Is Not Real EP

Since they gave ‘Sticky Lies’ away as a free MP3 at the end of last year & listening to my limit of their tracks on Last.FM, I had wanted to get hold of the music by electronic-rock band Colt. With my last couple of downloads on eMusic, I purchased this EP. I think I will be buying their full-length very soon!

Part four soon!
