#DendensMusicDen. Day 182. Now known as Harlem Lake, the Dave Warmerdam Band recorded a fantastic album simply titled Play with a brilliant vocal performance from Janne Timmer in Soul, Country, Americana, Blues and Rock. Ranging from exhilarating to soul crushing and even funny, (1/2)
#DendensMusicDen. Day 181. With the album This Delicate Thing We've Made, it's clear Darren Hayes put a ton of passion in a magnificent blend of electronic pop music with pumping beats, hypnotizing melodies and a great vocal performance. #MusicSky #PhysicalMedia #CD #DarrenHayes

#DendensMusicDen. Day 180. This Is Who We Are was the first album of Dutch Rock band Di-rect with their new frontman. I wasn't really into this kind of pop rock back then, but I think it's pretty solid to listen to now. Quite reminiscent of The Who at times, when they go loud. #MusicSky #Di-rect

#DendensMusicDen. Day 179. Plagues of Babylon had to grow on me, and it did over time. I had only just been listening to Iced Earth and was accustomed to every album having a few standouts, but Plagues is more of a consistently high quality Heavy Metal. Stu Block kills it. #MusicSky #PhysicalMedia

#DendensMusicDen. Day 178. I remember Eminem was EVERYWHERE when Without Me was released. I frikkin loved it. Listening to the full album The Eminem Show for the first time now, I'm wondering why I took so long to do so, as I can't stop banging my head. Great flow! #MusicSky #PhysicalMedia #Eminem

#DendensMusicDen. Day 177. Like all the albums from The Goo Goo Dolls, Something For The Rest Of Us kind of got lost in my random MP3 list. Listening to the whole album now, I can really appreciate that unique Goo Goo Dolls-sound and some great songs overall without getting tired of it. #MusicSky

#DendensMusicDen. Day 176. Most of my extremely broad taste in music finds its roots in Blues, yet I hardly own any Blues albums. I enjoy it mostly live, but Harmonica Blues from Bob Corritore And Friends is a great reminder of one of the most memorable Blues nights I've had. #MusicSky #Blues

#DendensMusicDen. Day 175. Kōji Kondō's greatest work condensed on a single CD, epically performed by an orchestra. This 25th Anniversary Special Orchestra CD came with a copy of Skyward Sword, and as much as I loved that game, this was the true treasure of the package. (1/3)

#DendensMusicDen. Day 174. Never heard this before and I can't believe that I missed it. Smashing Pumpkins' Siamese Dreams boasts amazing vocals and lyrics supported by impressively varied arrangements that make for a timeless album that's uniquely as much punk as it is progressive. #MusicSky

#DendensMusicDen. Day 173. It’s never too late to discover music I have missed out on back in the days I was more into what was known as Classic Rock back then. First-time listen to Jimmy Eat World, (1/2)

#DendensMusicDen. Day 172. Switchfoot again. We were going to see them perform that night, so I figured, just this once, two albums of the same band in a row. I really feel like going through a hurricane listening to Hello, Hurricane, (1/2)

#DendensMusicDen. Day 171. This was my first-time listen to a Switchfoot album. I quite like it. The Beautiful Letdown is a good mix of heavy guitar and some lighter punk rock. Certainly very reminiscent of early 2000s vibes. Pretty cool! #MusicSky #PhysicalMedia #CD #Switchfoot

#DendensMusicDen. Day 170. What impresses me most about The Getaway, would be that it has that distinct laidback yet energetic Red Hot Chili Peppers’ sound all throughout, but (1/2)

#DendensMusicDen. Day 169. Switchfoot's frontman Jon Foreman compiled his solo EP's Fall and Winter in this incredibly relaxing CD combo. This is something I'd put in a game like Life Is Strange, which is like the highest praise coming from me. #MusicSky #PhysicalMedia #JonForeman #Switchfoot

#DendensMusicDen. Day 168. Sadly, I don’t have any of Danny Elfman’s brilliant soundtracks yet. I did make a compilation CD of 25 tracks and songs from The Nightmare Before Christmas and Corpse Bride, (1/2)

#DendensMusicDen. Day 167. Wow, The Who were absolute beasts on the stage. Just listen to their live renditions of Tommy's songs compared to the album. Live at the Isle of Wight Festival 1970 is an incredible performance overall. #MusicSky #PhysicalMedia #DVD #TheWho #RogerDaltrey #PeteTownshend

#DendensMusicDen. Day 166. Many, many days after listening to Gandalf’s Journey Through An Imaginary Land, I was again in the mood for some soothing melodies. Visions did not disappoint as, yet again, a work of pure musical wizardry. #MusicSky #PhysicalMedia #Vinyl #Gandalf #NewAge #Ambient

#DendensMusicDen. Day 165. Otherwise known as “that creepy tune from The Exorcist”, when you listen to the album, Tubular Bells turns out to be something much more. A journey through different styles; what Mike Oldfield crafted here transcends Progressive Rock and mesmerizes constantly. #MusicSky

#DendensMusicDen. Day 164. Some of my all-time favourite songs come from The Rolling Stones. The Stones Story is an awesome compilation album that contains their autobiography, pictures and arguably their best songs. I bought it in great condition as well. Possibly the best 2 euros I ever spent.

Denden's Music Den. Day 163. Already a pretty big fan of Flogging Molly at the time, Whiskey On A Sunday was their first release I was there for on day 1. I’ll save the documentary for my Movie Den, but the accompanying bonus/soundtrack DVD is equally interesting. (1/2)

#DendensMusicDen. Day 162. Godley + Creme's Ismism is really, really weird. It's like several poem readings with a variety of jazzy and groovy tunes, that occasionally come together into something resembling songs. I kinda like it.
