The 43 Bands Listed From Adult Swim’s Bump
August 18, 2008 8:52 pm Audio Links, General Interest, Media Links, Miscellaneous[digg-reddit-me]If you, like me, really dig on some of the Adult Swim bump music but haven’t been able to find it, on one of their recent bumps was listed a number of the bands they’ve been using. I’m reproducing that list here because I couldn’t find it on Google, and that usually means nobody’s written it out yet.
There’s some surprisingly good music in this list. I bought the Dethklok CD, and I just can’t stop listening to it. Almost this entire list is available as DRM-free MP3s from Amazon’s music download service (yay affiliate links). I’m linking the MP3 CDs where I can because they’re way cheaper and I find them more convenient, and frankly I hate ripping my CDs, so why bother, etc. Also, where I know the band, which is a little over half this list and quickly growing, I’m linking specific albums I prefer.
It also helps that the Amazon pages have clips of songs that you can listen to, so if you’re looking for something specific you heard, you might be able to find it (and maybe some other good stuff too) here.
The list:
- Amon Tobin – Foley Room and Chaos Theory
- Aphex Twin – I Care Because You Do and Richard D. James Album
- Boards of Canada – Hi Scores and Music Has The Right to Children
- Bonobo – Days to Come and Dial ‘M’ for Monkey
