What albums did you listen to today?...continued

Battiato goes completely nuts in a riveting manner somewhere on the rim of the solar system and Bobby shows that all people, even killers, possess something uniquely beautiful about themselves. The two long cuts off Lucifer Rising always deliver goosebumps.

This Battiato album is gorgeous in its static nature. I just can't think of any other album that is quite like this one.
It's kind of scary to thing that a young man, who created such a beautiful, moving work, was capable of commiting such a horrid crime.

Guru Guru - Hinten

Buon Vecchio Charlie - S/T - Wow, what a ride! For such a short album, there's some great territory covered here. Thick, meaty sax solos, smokin' organ with some Jon Lord flavours, and the succulent sweetness of that classical guitar fingerstyle. All of the jazz craziness and breathtaking romance that you gotta love the Italians for is proud on display here. Fantastic!

Tuesday...

Wow, Gary, I had no idea they'd put out another album. I remember really liking their `Tribaloide' album from a few years ago, but was always annoyed I never got a CD of it (which I'm certain were available for a while), but now that I look into it I might have been mistaken and it was download only...

^ My copy of Blakulla is still sealed. I'm very slowly going through my recent purchases, so I won't feel like buying more soon 

How was that Mother Turtle btw?

The guitar playing in particular has that jazzy mumbling quality to it that I found present in both releases. Then again may just be my ears playing tricks on me   How was that Mother Turtle btw?

It sounded like Post Rock-ish Alt Rock with some occasional Jazz flavour. I had a hard time listening to the whole thing, all the tracks are very much alike.

I will have to lend you my ears one day. The ol switcheroo.

Funny thing about that MT album is that everyone seems to be describing it differently. You mention GG while I feel there is an early Van Damme Generator vibe only it comes off rather psychedelic. I've heard other mention early Floyd too.
But yeah like I said, should be fun to switch those ears around

Today up until now:
Ulver - ABCCBBEJ (something with letters anyway. Genuinely enjoyed it and can't for the life of me understand why I haven't spun it for months (half year even?). Another one to cram inside an already full list.)
Thy Catafalque - Meta
Goat - Requiem
Syd Arthur - Apricity (Gets better and better with every new spin. I get why many would dislike the rather poppish natire of some of the songs, but I don't care. Sounds wonderful to these ears.)
La Bocca della Veritá - Avenoth
Hero - s/t (Strange obscurity from 1970s Italy sounding much closer to Krautrock than RPI.)
Tangerine Dream - Box Set (Reims gigs)
