I know I've said this before and you're thinking to yourself how they get any better. Well they can. Stay tuned to BAND-MAID.

[@dejzmi7089]

Oh man it's great to be here! I have been enjoying this music discovery / path a lot!

[@dejzmi7089]

Thank you... I will !!!! Much appreciated.

[@Space_Ranger]

Still in my top 5 of instrumentals of all time. Along with From Now On.

[@dejzmi7089]

Im looking forward to FROM NOW ON too!

[@BRO-HI808]

I loved the statement..."And I'm not even...not even close to halfway being done with this catalog...", now that's an understatement.😂 You're 5 songs in and you have 130+ more to go!!! Lucky for both you and us Maidiacs, as there is so much great music left to discover with Band-Maid. So stay the journey with the Maids. You will not regret it. PO! 🕊 🤘😆🤘 Oh yes! If you can make it to one of their Okyu-ji's (what they call their live concerts, which translates to "serving"), you will not be disappointed. They sound this good live. I've been to a bunch of them and they kill it. Seeing how much you enjoy the Maids on their channel, you will definitely come out of their show with a grin on your face which will not go away for a month or so as you experience Band-Maid live withdrawals. Your heart will be pumping, you'll be shouting along with all the other Maidiacs, you'll be jumping up and down. Head bobbing. Clapping on cue. And maybe even shed a tear or two at the pure joy of the experience. Energy through the roof! Not sure where you live, but they do tour, so keep your fingers and toes crossed and maybe they might visit a city within road trip range of where you live.

[@dejzmi7089]

Thank y'all for having me! it's been absolutely great so far! I am in rural Texas for now so to be honest nothing is really close to me but if they come to one of the bigger cities I would love to try to see them live.

You don’t often hear melodic tapping but Kanami seems to only tap to create a melodic element. And Miku has a great right hand on rhythm - very solid

[@dejzmi7089]

I really enjoyed this performance! They can freaking play!!!

[@spaolozzi53]

Oh yes they rehearse, constantly. They never just go out and jam. Kanami's compositions are so precise and intricate, with layering and interweaving instruments, that I'd have to compare her to Frank Zappa or maybe J S Bach. Love this piece for all the obvious reasons, but especially because it really highlights the throaty crunch of Miku's Zamaitis.

[@dejzmi7089]

This was so good! I need to get better headphones ! Hopefully brings out more sounds out!

[@frankbrunner4902]

Wait till you see, hear and feel „From now on“. The instrumental to end all instrumentals. A perfect guitar storm by Kanami. 🎸🌩

[@dejzmi7089]

That one Is definitely next!

[@mikeholmes5308]

But... what about Don't Be Long... or Without Holding Back... like all of their other music, their best instrumental to me is the last one I heard. Even the "white room" instrumentals for songs that are supposed to have lyrics are fascinatingly good.

The crazy thing is that although they mostly do songs with vocals, they could go toe-to-toe with any of the great 70's instrumental fusion bands.

[@JBVandriver136]

So glad you are enjoying your Band Maid journey this far but you have barely scratched the surface. You should check out From Now On even though it’s not live it’s great and seeing it live is even better also trying one their ballads is a must. Daydreaming or About Us are two great songs and the mid tempo songs that are great are Akward and Endless Story. Let me say it is a pleasure watching someone discover this band who seems to be on the same path as we were when we discovered Band Maid and as always enjoy the ride.

The main reason they have several instrumentals,is to give Saikis vocals a rest during shows and wouldnt you know it,they are monumental in their own right as a song,,Yes,from now on,and also dont forget,,Without Holding Back,BM doing BM stuff better than anyone else,great reaction.

If you sign up for the basic+ fan club (appr. $4/month,) the band is releasing a rough cut edit of a concert they just had-I think 30-Aug-3024. They are doing this because a bunch of concertgoers weren’t able to make it to the venue ‘coz of a typhoon. Only available from 9/13/24 until 9/16/24. (These are all probably Japan dates.) Dang, I just looked at the setlist-22 songs! I think a streaming-ready edit will be available at a future date.

[@dejzmi7089]

This band has a special place and I still have so many more in their catalog to catch up with!

[@WildWulv]

Check out ‘Thrill’ for some young BM fun before they wrote all their own music but still distinctly BM. Also the documentaries by Orenji [sp] for “their stories” there are 6 I believe. One for everybody but the Flappy Pigeon -po who has 2. Things to remembered: BM genre = Band-Maid (their own) and 99% of time they are Band-Maid doing Band-Maid things. Unique / Awe-inspiring / Lovely / Loving / and just BAND-MAID

[@gordowg1wg145]

You mentioned better head-phones - as an intermittent step I'd suggest having a look to see if you can find the frequency curve for them - the db/(m)W - and either use your audio software's equaliser (or d/load one) to add/subtract where needed to balance out the actual audio you hear. Not as good as studio/monitor 'phones, but it can make a BIG difference!

[@dejzmi7089]

Ohhhhh!!!! That’s a really good idea! Thank you!

[@tonygriffin_]

Not sure which one to choose? Just react to them all! (We have lots of solutions to problems like this!) Po! Thought you'd like their instrumentals! Since you mentioned near the end about hearing them "live live" (by which I'm guessing is live and raw as opposed to live with post-production tweaks) then try either the whole 1 hour, 12 song Lollapalooza 2023 concert ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJO7kICIfb6eh6Msi=QkeUJIj4Reb48PzH ) or just the double bill of DICE/HATE? from the same gig, which has a sweet segue between the two songs by Akane on drums ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2fKp5pvjcxnd9Esi=PSObgNo7IizFbezl ).
