mr scruff is chilled try the track get a move on it is good for cruising around and nightmares on wax are a good group or for some nz music fat freddys drop new album is awesome or black seeds first album black sunrise
Dream Theater is amazing, they are truly experts in a number of genres.
I think some of their songs are a bit long... mainly that 23min A Change of Seasons. (Only just managed to hear that whole thing)
I only just found out about them a couple days ago, any certain songs you'd recommend?
yeah hilltop hoods is good. karnivool ( aussies ) are a mad band. nice clean crisp vocals and very interesting music. like tool but more... modern? They made "Themata" which gets you hooked on their tunes and then "Sound Awake" came out... man its good, easy to lose yourself. tool is mad to, they're just the best for groovy drawn out songs. but seriously, look up Right Place, Wrong Time - Dr. John.
