SUPERCAR Nasty Sunny Beam !GLI9AHvvoo
This is everything I have from my favorite japanese band; Supercar.

The sound kind of varies from indie-rock to techno to noise. But if you download a few songs I'm sure you'll like it.

I won't be able seed this for for more than a few days so please download the whole thing if you like it, and help seed.

Bad news. It seems Supercar is disbanded, which I find particularly disheartening given how much I love their stuff.

Oddly enough, I've happened across a torrent of Miki Furukawa's (Supercar's bass player if i'm not mistaken) solo album its not too bad really and definitely has some supercar elements to it. Give it a shot if you will. Its not my torrent but I am seeding it.

Awesome!

I've looking for their songs on winny and haven't been able to find/dl any. I love their work in Ping Pong the movie (excellent movie btw)

I wonder if anyone has their last two albums before the disband, "A" and "B", which have everything they did.
>> Nasty Sunny Beam !GLI9AHvvoo
>>125018
Well I have a copy of A but I'm pretty sure everything on A is somewhere else in the original albums, its sort of a best of really. I didn't include it in the torrent because I couldn't find it though.

As for B I didn't know that existed until you mentioned it. That seems to be a two-disc set of mostly unheard b-sides...I want.

Dude, you didn't seed for long enough to get any other seeders out there before shutting off. Seed for another day or two so I can atleast get a copy? I can seed for a week or longer after.

>> Akira.h
i had the same problem with track 19 (using iTunes, too), but after converting it AGAIN to .mp3 with "dbPowerAmp" it worked!
i'm uploading it to rapidshare right now. hold on a minute.


and i wanted to say thanks to Nasty Sunny Beam for this great torrent.
i don't like many japanese bands - actually the pillows are the only japanese band i liked... till now.
so thank you for expanding my horizon XD
>> Nasty Sunny Beam !GLI9AHvvoo
I got your Track 19 right here guys. It plays fine for me, but if this doesn't do it for you i've got one more trick to try.

Thanks for this torrent, but good lord if this isn't the most unorganized set ever.

Your albums have songs of different bitrates... almost like you hopped on whatever P2P program and grabbed single songs from different users.

Also, your albums have incorrect tracks on them. Anything on Highvision that has the "Ping Pong" tag is the version from the Ping Pong OST, not the version from the actual album you have it listed for. Strobolights, for example, has a piano intro on the real deal.

I just thought other users would like to know.
>> Anonymous
he did say that this was just his collection, never said anything about actual albums. but thanks for the sharing anyways, had go go through alot, but picked out many good ones, really like SORATBI

My favorites so far have been:

i never expect more than this.
have seen many mp3-collections that were organized MUCH lousier...
(when i compare all the music i downloaded so far... it's one of the best organized one
>_<")

>>126018
so what? the quality is 128, 192 or with variable bitrate. so it's always more than cd-quality and so it's good for me O_o
he never mentioned, that he grabbed the tracks by himselfs. i think he will have collected the albums via p2p somhow...
>> Anonymous
>>126028
Huh? 128 or 192 being better than cd-quality? CD quality is 1411~ kbps, give or take.

The tilde means approximate in math, retard, but I accidently put it backwards. ~1411 I added give or take because there are decimels in there that I don't remember.
>> Akira.h
>>126032
oh shi--
O_o sorry, my mistake...

but i still think 192+ is superior. i prefer 192 as there aren't that many sound-systems that make a real difference from that point on...
128 is... well it's okay. shouldn't be less...

what do you think?
>> Pingachevsky !R4K9xTEOkY
>>126032
This man speaks truth.
Also anything lossy under 320kbs is merely "tolerable", not "good enough". Especially when computers aren't the only things making the music.
>> Anonymous
OH NOES THIS FREE MUSIC IS UNACCEPTABLE
>> Nasty Sunny Beam !GLI9AHvvoo
When it comes to bitrates I can't tell a difference beyond 192. And if I have a choice between 128 and something higher i'll pick 128 because of its smaller size and quicker transfer.

320 is supposedly about as high as it reasonably goes, the extra bitrates beyond that are probably because cd audio takes just as much space for dead silence as it does actual audio.

>>125724
Thanks

>>126018
Unorganized? I thought folders with the album names and numbered files was plenty organized.

I swear I had strobolights 3-4 years ago and it sounded just like that one. Care to rapidshare your original? I'm all curious now.

Anything under 320 barely 'tolerable'? Is this the planet where everybody has a $2,000 dollar pre with a $2,000 dollar pair of speakers bi-amped by monoblocks?

Shit dude, you know your audio. :)

Yeah, the only way the difference is going to hit you in face in an unpleasant way is by having reference/audiophile grade audio equipment. A great pre-amp and a good pair of vintage speakers.

Other than that, you really have to try to find the imperfections in some of the high frequencies. On most [mp3 player's] heaphones and low end PC audio speakers, the difference is hardly noticeable.

If I had that equipment, I'd be hunting down vinyl versions of their albums if they exist.

I don't have an uber setup, but I have a good pair of Vintage Pioneer speakers and a Vintage Marantz receiver. And hell, I've been trying to find some Pillows vinyls but haven't been successful. I'm afraid they don't even exist. :(

I can tell the difference between 128, 192 and 320. I cant tolerate 128.. the difference between 192 and 320 is very subtle and nothing to get your panties in a wad about but if I am ripping a cd you better bet it will be 320.

CD's are lossy by default since they are digital.. vinyl will always be superior.

OK imagine the session equipment records digitally at 30,000kbps, moving it to a cd will obviously be lossy.
this is why dvd audio exists, though to be fair, the emperor is still pretty damned naked where that's concerned aswell...

Saddest thread in /t/ history. This is the danger of even talking about music on the internet. Especially when someone says the following:

protip:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gramophone_record#Arguments_about_sound_fidelity
'The "warmer" sound of analog records is generally believed on both sides of the argument to be an artifact of dynamic harmonics. It is thought by supporters of digital audio that the fans of vinyl got so used to it they think it is actually more "faithful" to the real sound.'
You can say it sounds better, you can however not claim it's more "real", and I'm going to be a presumptous jerk and assumme that you think that it's closer to the real sound.
I can however give you that it does sound good, but don't dare to bloody drag "accurate representation" into this.

I'm amazed that somebody would bother to say that people don't know what they're talking about without providing counterpoint.

The weakest point in the signal chain is often not that 192kbps/256kbps mp3. For instance, everybody that's accoustically treated their room raise their hands. Everybody who can prove there's not constructive or destructive interference present in any way in their room, raise your fist in indignation at all those sub 320kbps encodes. Then take your rich-ass to the store and buy some CDs to rip properly.

Personally, the city traffick right outside my window raises the noise floor of my mp3s just a little.

The vast majority of musical recordings are stereo recordings. Stereo recordings present positional information by relatively large amplitude differences between two channels. These recordings are intended to be reproduced by loudspeakers. When the sound reaches our ear from these loudspeakers we percieve a phase difference that we use to locate the sound.

To get a proper soundstage on headphones would require a binaural recording. Binaural recordings use a false head during the recording process to record direct phase information without relying on large amplitude differences.

While you may get a nice flat frequency response from your expensive pair of headphones that may demand more from your audio encoding, you're prone to other distortions that wouldn't be solved by owning the original CD, vinyl, ADATs, 12" tape, whatever. This might explain why those recording & mastering studios spend so much money on monitors instead of just buying headphones :)

I don't think the previously suggested ones are particularly supercar-ish, but I guess they <are> Japanese :b If we're just suggesting good Japanese bands:

Boredoms, Mono, The Back Horn, Natsumen, Quruli, Shex, Hyu, Salyu, Overrocket, Capsule, Plus-Tech Squeeze Box, Eastern Youth, Sparta Locals, Shiina Ringo, Acidman, Advantage Lucy, boat...that shoulds be a well-rounded list to start off on :)
