VNV Nation
 
One of those lovely synthbands that exist out there in our world.

I could recomend songs like Honour and Further, they are wonderful, and perfect for people like us!!

~/~/~Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, live today~/~/~

Pronnmo 27 Dec 2001 03:24

Further is the Greatest, but never forger Solitary.

VNV Forever!

Avil 27 Dec 2001 03:25

Solidarity is on the same level as the songs I mentioned, but a bit lower.

~/~/~Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, live today~/~/~

Pronnmo 27 Dec 2001 03:30

Just above according to me.

Joy's also great.

:|^|:..and if rain brings winds of change, let it rain on us forever..:|^|:

Avil 27 Dec 2001 03:33

I´ve only heard these three songs, is there any other you people could recommend?

~/~/~Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, live today~/~/~

Pronnmo 27 Dec 2001 03:37

*looks around*
People? What people?

Well, Forsaken, Left Behind, Radius^2, Welfunk. I like After Fire and Frika from the re-release of their first album. Heck, they almost only make good songs.
*cant wait until the new cd next year*

:|^|:..and if rain brings winds of change, let it rain on us forever..:|^|:

Avil 27 Dec 2001 03:38

But the thing is that so many synthbands make songs that are so similar to eachother that it gets boring.

~/~/~Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, live today~/~/~

Pronnmo 27 Dec 2001 03:43

Focus on the lyrics, sweet one. They are superb.

:|^|:..and if rain brings winds of change, let it rain on us forever..:|^|:

Avil 27 Dec 2001 03:44

But I can´t... I don´t think a second of the lyrics if it isn´t AV..

~/~/~Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, live today~/~/~

Pronnmo 27 Dec 2001 03:51

another thing I'll have to teach you then :)

:|^|:..and if rain brings winds of change, let it rain on us forever..:|^|:

Avil 27 Dec 2001 04:19

Seems like there are many things you have to teach me dear...*smiles*

Infact there is one song I don´t need to understand any lyrics, Welfunk, a wonderful instrumental song.

~/~/~Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, live today~/~/~

Pronnmo 27 Dec 2001 04:22

So it seems..

I agree with you on that. It's very good.

:|^|:..and if rain brings winds of change, let it rain on us forever..:|^|:

Dingerz 28 Dec 2001 06:56

Forsaken with the lyrics is AMAZING. I got VNV's new single today!

Did anyone get to see them live? VNV is pretty good, Ronan really knows how to interact with the crowd.

Tara :)


Pronnmo 28 Dec 2001 14:26

Forsaken's really good I agree, but doesn't quite reach up to 'amazing' status..

Which of the singles did you get? Genesis 1 or 2? They released two at the same time..

I was fortunate to see them when they played in sweden on a rather small event in august. It was the best I've ever seen, I totally loved every second of it.

Hehe, understatement of the week, VNV are GODS! and Ronan had the audience in the palm of his hand. <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Ahh, can't wait until end of january, when their new album comes out!

VNV NATION FOREVER! (but AV is pretty decent as well..) <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

Where can I download some samples ?

russharvey 29 Dec 2001 17:17

I am trying to download a few from www.kazaa.com and I think you can find some at www.audiogalaxy, but I am sure these guys must have an official website somewhere.....

Pronnmo 29 Dec 2001 18:24

'http://vnvnation.com' but you can't download their music from there..kazaa/morpheus, winmx or audiogalaxy should work fine.

:|^|:..and if rain brings winds of change, let it rain on us forever..:|^|:

russharvey 29 Dec 2001 18:34

I just listened to Forsaken..... great lyrics... emotional song..... but I kept wanting the tempo to pick up.... like its right on the edge from bursting into melody..... but never does......

not bad really..... but I think I am going to have to check another song out before I lay down some condemnation!! <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

***This life is expensive, but at least it comes with a free trip around the sun!***

Pronnmo 29 Dec 2001 18:35

Further! That's all I've got to say.

:|^|:..and if rain brings winds of change, let it rain on us forever..:|^|:

russharvey 29 Dec 2001 18:44

I looked for that one... couldn't find it...... will keep looking!

***This life is expensive, but at least it comes with a free trip around the sun!***

Pronnmo 29 Dec 2001 18:54

You do that. It has a very sad feeling about it, but is without doubt one of the greatest songs there is..

*remembers seeing it live* aaaaah...mmmmmmm...splendid..

Honour and Solitary are also great.



:|^|:..and if rain brings winds of change, let it rain on us forever..:|^|:

Avil 29 Dec 2001 20:18

Russ, just tell me when I´m online, and I will send u some songs.
You shouldn´t miss this!

Ariana Dreamer 31 Jan 2002 12:00

@Trent: I was in Jönköping this weekend, where I found this really cool CD, called "Empires" I do believe. I´d never heard of VNV before... But it happend so that I spended three hours in that store just listening to all the VNV records they had... And I left the store with a BIG SMILE <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>! I really loved what I heard. But the next day when I went back to buy them, the store had closed (It was a sunday then, and I had no money the day before <img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle>!!
So now I´m on a quest for the VNV records!
I really like the artwork they have on their records.

With all my love - I went into the world

Trent 31 Jan 2002 12:41

@Ariana Dreamer: Go to www.adifferent.drum They have a bunch of VNV Nation there...that's where I got mine since getting that kind of music here is so hard...Most of the German music I get is from A Different Drum

Trent 31 Jan 2002 12:43

Oh and by the way...I just looked and "Empires" is there...
VNV Nation "Empires" -- $15.00 Order!

THANX TRENT AND AVIL! I´ve bought Empires and the new album now! I love expecting music items in the post, the thrill when they finally arrive is amazing!!

With all my love - I went into the world

Dingerz 04 Feb 2002 05:22

I got VNV Nations' new album "Futureperfect" and it is really good. I like it better than Empires. Some people say that the only negative thing about Ronan is that the sound of VNV never "evolves" but all I can say is that what Ronan does well is fine with me. I'm not bored yet :)

I really love the lyrics on this album.. Some of the best lyrics yet! (besides Forsaken of course)

Tara :)



Pronnmo 08 Feb 2002 19:46

You've got Futureperfect!? Damn, I'm still waiting, but then again, I'll hopefully be able to lay my hands on a limited edition copy..hopefully..next week...yummie <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

Gotta keep myself updated on coming tours so I can follow them around...they RULE live!! Saw them on their 'Futureperfect Tour'. Damn that was great!!

:|^|:..and if rain brings winds of change, let it rain on us forever..:|^|:

Avil 09 Mar 2002 20:25

I receved VNV´s new album yesterday, and I must say that it was way much better than I expected. Everyone was so negative to this album, so I though that it really sucked big time, but fact is that it´s a great album!
Got mixed kinda songs, some are very calm, others very upbeat!

<center> ~/~/~Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, live today~/~/~ </center>

Pronnmo 03 Nov 2002 18:31

Oh joy! A mere 5 days until they play at Stockholm University!

Krapplund 03 Nov 2002 19:23

And you will see them......lucky you!!

Pronnmo 03 Nov 2002 19:50

Aye, I ordered tickets the same say they were released. If you check with soundpollution, you might have an extraordinary luck and find some left.

I know I won't miss them even if all hell breaks loose!

Krapplund 03 Nov 2002 19:59

It´s a bit to far away for me....[smile]

Avil 09 Nov 2002 18:47

Oooooooh now I´ve seen VNV live!!!
It was such a wonderful experience, they really rocked the stage.
They played my fave song Further, and before they played it they said:
"Burning empires didn´t sell very well here in Sweden, so I guess you don´t know this song" That´s humour!!!!
A great chance!!!

Next will be in january when I´m going to see Assemblage 23 and Icon of Coil!!

Pronnmo 09 Nov 2002 21:10

Ah, yes. VNV Nation...what can I say.. they rule supreme.

The show was a bit better last year, but they said more funny things this year and well, from what I've seen I can almost think that swedes are among the best and lively fans there is. (compared to a A23 gig in London).

You've got any dates and such on Assemblage 23 in January/Febuary?

Oh btw, VNV Nation will be playing at SAMA in gothenburg next year..just thought some of you might wanna know..

BTW2: If you know anyone that has a copy of 'Burning Empires' to sell, please send me a message.

Avil 09 Nov 2002 23:23

Yeah it will be great to see them again so soon!!!
I´ll be on SAMA this year, for the first time, will be a lot of fun.

I don´t think anyone will sell burning empires, be happy if you find it under $50!

I got dates and location for A23 & Icon of coil, but they aren´t official so I wont say anything until I got a clear. But I can say...take some time of in january...

Pronnmo 10 Nov 2002 01:24

I have to ask for the slim chance, don't I?
I'd be willing to pay $50 for a copy.

Well, I'll just wait and see if Mr. Shear puts out any official dates on the A23 homepage/forum.
