Or Beyond Black Void for people who know how to appreciate really good music

Just because something is epically slow doesn't mean it's good. A real Drone/Doom fan can seperate the brilliant from the absurdly abysmal.

Drone is overrated anyway but I really do like BBV immensely.

Mmm, nice to see all those Until Death Overtakes Me albums avalaible as well.

Let's not get into an "overrated - not! - it so is! - no it isnt!!" debate here. I think it's technically impossible for Drone to be overrated, since only five people worldwide have heard of the genre.

I think you underestimate how well-known drone is. Especially int he so-called intellectual vpro/oor circles. It is more appreciated outside the metal world than within metal for it is usually not metal at all.

awesome bands, realy awesome
What is FLAC format?

Hum sorry for that, but the geek in me couldn't resist the opportunity...
Just fucking Google it!

But ok, FLAC is an open source audio file format, a high quality file format available for free. Takes up a lot of space compared to standard MP3 but they're a great help when you don't want to go through a .wav file.

This is Stijn Van Cauter's label. It's now a netlabel. I've heard of this transformation previously, before I actually happened. I am one who has recently discovered the works of Stijn Van Cauter. I enjoy the songs I've heard, but in some cases, finding Stijn Van Cauter's music, matter of fact most of the NULLL Records' music, has a tendency to be pretty hard to find. There's nothing wrong with that, but I just like to hear more of this music, because it is awesome. I've probably heard only one Uncertainty Principle song in its entirety, for instance. There's some other bands I've heard just one song of from the label as well, not surprisingly. I am a huge fan of doom metal, whether it be funeral doom, drone doom, death/doom, stoner/doom, traditional doom, black/doom, yeah, pretty much doom metal in general. I know this label doesn't encompass all those doom metal subgenres (yet), but I just felt it was relevant to say that, since it notably has some of those subgenres. I also get a good kick out of ambient and moise music. This label is great and I'm looking forward to hearing more music offered from it.

Two questions:

1. How well-known is drone doom?
2. What are vpro/oor circles?

What I notice here in The Netherlands is that drone is quite well-known outside of metal circles as well.

As for the vpro/oor question. I think you'll have to be Dutch to fully comprehend what I mean.
VPRO is radio & tv broadcaster more focused on programming stuff which is more alternative and Oor is a music magazine which totally fits into the vpro mould of things.

All right, that's cool. So it's rather well-known in the Netherlands. That's interesting. I don't think I can say the same about that genre back here in the United States of America. I'm sure it's not nearly as popular over here, although we have bands such as Sunn O))) and Earth and Nadja (Nadja is located up north in Canada, that's close). Thanks for telling me that.

Oh yeah, I know what you mean with the vrpo/oor circles. And by the way, my parents are subscribed to the VPRO magazine and I bought myself an OOR today, haha. I don't think I belong to the group your aiming for though.

And perhaps you're right, though I think it is more Ambient than Drone in these circles (Brian Eno, etc).
