Bruno CoulaisMost days when I get up I don't have the time or the attention span to listen to a whole album. So I decided to make my little breakfast playlists :3 Pick a style, slap it on random and listen 'til time runs out/I feel like moving on :)
I compiled the playlists of only bands that I don't have a full album of. These are artists that I really like and want to hear more, but my usual listening habit is to slap between 10-50 artists on a playlist and stick the whole lot on random, which that my single lonely Sethian song has to compete with my 187 Nightwish tracks. A little bit unfair on poor Sethian, I think ;P
Techno breakfast:
All of the artists ended up being Japanese, which is probably just because I have more variety of Japanese music from my anime loving days. Techno, being such high-energy, is great for waking up to.
(Actually I should really have called this Takanori-tachi breakfast, because 12 of the 18 songs feature Takanori Nishiki xD I love that guy :3)
> abingdon boys school - Howling
> abingdon boys school - Innocent Sorrow
> abingdon boys school - Jap

> UVERworld - Colors of the Heart
> UVERworld - シャカビーチ～Laka Laka La～
> 初音ミク - 初音ミクの消失-DEAD END- < you can't get more techno than a vocaloid singing about the deletion of her program ;____;
Death metal breakfast:
Okay, so my "death metal" is not very deathy at all really. It's more industrial, but I associate industrial with Pain and Machinae Supremacy, so I guess I just distinguish it this way.
> Catamenia -
Gallery of Fear
> Catamenia -Coldbound
> Catamenia -Tuhat Vuotta
> Deadlock - Earth.Revolt
> Deadlock - Awakened by Sirens

> Sinergy - The Bitch Is Back < incidentally, all of these Sinergy songs featured Marco on bass x3
> Withered -Within Your Grief
Nippon breakfast:
For uninitiates, "Nippon" is the Japanese word for Japan. So basically this is where all the random J-pop artists I like ended up. And Nightmare O__o For some odd reason..
> 12012 - Cyclone
> Gackt - REDEMPTION
> HYDE - COUNTDOWN

> 宇多田ヒカル - Beautiful World
> 宇多田ヒカル - This Is Love
Atmospheric breakfast:
Originally this was two playlists, "atmosphere breakfast" and "cinema breakfast". Trouble was that each of those were too short, so I jammed my odd atmospheric and soundtrack songs together.
> Bruno Coulais - Ending Credits < this piece from Coraline is one of my favourite pieces in the world!!
> Bruno Coulais - Ghost Children
> God Is an Astronaut -Tempus Horizon
> God Is an Astronaut -Shadows
> God Is an Astronaut -Post Mortem
> God Is an Astronaut -Echoes
> God Is an Astronaut -Snowfall
> God Is an Astronaut -First Day Of Sun
> God Is an Astronaut -Zodiac
> Happy Rhodes -Ra Is A Busy God [Vocal version]
> Hans Zimmer - Roll Tide
> Hans Zimmer -All of Them!
> Hans Zimmer -Red Warrior
> Hans Zimmer - King Of Pride Rock
> James Horner - Heritage Of The Wolf
> James Newton Howard - London
> John Debney - Resurrection
> 志方あきこ - EXEC_CHRONICLE KEY/.
> 志方あきこ - EXEC_SPHILIA/.
And yeah, I have most of those soundtrack pieces because Nightwish used them as intros or outros to concerts xD
Femme voices breakfast:
Femme-fronted tags are annoying except when there's not very much else connecting artists xD All these artists are femme-fronted but it ranges from pop to supposedly-gothic metal to symphonic metal. So I resorted to a tag I hate. Never mind ^-^
> After Forever - Cry With a Smile
> Armin van Buuren feat. Sharon den Adel - In And Out Of Love
> Delain - April Rain < I didn't used to think anything of Delain, but since they're supporting Sonata Arctica in December I decided to give 'em another chance. Good thing I did, 'coz they're awesome :3
> Delain - Sleepwalker's Dream
> Delain - The Gathering < I SPY A MARCO
> Indica - Linnansa vanki
> Indica -Scarlett
> Indica - Vuorien taa < this song is so great x3

> Sirenia - My Mind's Eye
> Sirenia - The Other Side
> Sirenia - meridian [acoustic] < wmp hates this track, for some reason ^__^;;
Power breakfast:
This is another playlist that used to be two, "epic" and "power". I conflated them and now it's huge ^__^;; WHICH IS GREAT because symphonic and/or power metal is the best \m/>w<\m/

> Epica -The Valley < sounds like a theme park = awesome
> Fairyland -Eldanie Uellë
> Fairyland -Anmorkenta
> Fairyland -Ride with the Sun
> Fairyland -Master of the Waves < this song is pretty much the best thing ever >w<
> Fairyland -Godsent
> For My Pain... - My Wound Is Deeper Than Yours < yeah, FMP is the reason this playlist is so huge, and they don't even really belong here. They're not epic, or power metal, or symphonic metal. But like Sinergy, they had to go somewhere, and there was nowhere else...
> For My Pain... - Queen Misery
> For My Pain... - Sea of Emotions
> For My Pain... - Rapture of Lust
> For My Pain... - Broken Days < btw, all of these FMP songs have Tuomas on keyboards
> For My Pain... - Autumn Harmony

False metal breakfast:
I saved this for last because this was (still is, oops xD) today's breakfast playlist. The name's a reference to Brother Firetribe, who were going to be called False Metal originally. Basically this playlist is a compilation of metal that isn't really metal, or that doesn't take itself too seriously :3
(It's odd how almost every single band on this list is connected to Nightwish xD)
> Alyson Avenue - Free Like The Wind < Anette's old band, of course :D
> Alyson Avenue - I Am Your Pleasuremaker < unfortunately I only have edits of these tracks ;(
> Brother Firetribe - Heart Full Of Fire < Emppu AND Anette!! xD

> 藍華柳 - ヴァンパイアで満杯や!
> 藍華柳 - すすめ！パイレーツ
> 藍華柳 - Remember My Brave
