^ Still haven't heard that Mantric Muse album...and they're Danish for crying out loud!

How's the new Brian Jonestown Massacre btw Gary? Such a big fan of Anton - in fact ever since I first saw the now cult-like documentary called Dig! Talk about sex, drugs and rock n roll

Yesterday:
Miles - In A Silent Way
Arco Iris - Sudamerica
NEU! - s/t
A.R. & Machines - Die Grüne Reise
Cocteau Twins - Victorialand
Suicide - s/t
Grizzly Bear - Veckatimest
Moving Gelatine Plates - The World Of Genius Hans
Necromonkey - Show Me Where It Hertz

^^  David, you really need to listen to Mantric Muse, especially if you're a fan of Oresund Space Collective. 

Steve Tibbetts - Steve Tibbetts Amazing experimental guitar-based music, somewhat similar to many ECM releases. Steve Tibbetts is probably my favorite guitarist at the moment, his musical personality and ideas are exceedingly original. The last track, “How Do You Like My Buddha?” is one of the best pieces I’ve heard in the last month or so. Highly recommended!

Deuter - D The guitar is also a prominent instrument on this album, but it’s obviously much different, considering the time and the place it was recorded in. D is dripping with meditative oriental arrangements for electric guitar, sitar, and organ. I remember when I was discovering krautrock and heard this album for the first time - I was blown away. It still remains an album I really love.

Van der Graaf Generator - Pawn Hearts One of my favorite classic prog albums, if not my number one. This one evokes images no other album can produce in my mind. For me, “Plague of Lighthouse Keepers” is a particularly intriguing experience, because, on one hand, it seems like the epic never ends, as if an infinite supply of segments and ideas are waiting around the corner, and on the other, it never gets boring.

Asmus Tietchens - Der Fünfte Himmel It wasn’t until hearing “Atommacht Indien” from this album that I found out about this legendary musician, whose album covers, seemed to ring a bell when I looked at them. This is one of his newer albums, but it’s situated somewhere in the experimental rhythmic lo-fi ambient realm, not all that far from Musik von Harmonia, although more modern. Very enjoyable.

C.A. Quintet - Trip Thru Hell One of my favorite unknown psychedelic rock obscurities. This really does sound like a trip thru hell. There is something very “Aleister Crowley” about the feeling of this album and the evil atmosphere is enhanced by the use of those Mexican-sounding trumpets. Excellent!

Fifty Foot Hose - Cauldron I did not find anything that would particularly impress me on this album, but I thoroughly enjoyed listening to it. It is indeed a spacey psychedelic album like so many, but songwriting and use of electronic devices definitely stand out here.

Nurse with Wound - Chance Meeting on a Dissecting Table of a Sewing Machine and an Umbrella I have been putting off checking Nurse with Wound out for a longer while and felt like I was in the mood to check Steven Stapleton’s music out. The music is really interesting. It’s all dirty noisy improvisation, but it does not get on your nerves, it’s incredible to just sit down and listen to this.

Joe Meek & the Blue Men - I Hear a New World I just have a real soft spot for space-age music. Sometimes things age so much, you can find something very modern and fresh about them. That’s the case with this one.

Ah, one of my favorite albums, glad to see you're looking into the immortal NWW. Be sure to check out Homotopy to Marie, Merzbild Schwet, and Soliloquy For Lilith.

Thanks for the recommendations! I will ilisten to Soliloquy For Lilith, I have heard many good things about it and I think I even have that on CD (or my Dad has, I should say).

Saturday...

Charlemagne Palestine - Strumming Music
Basil Kirchin - Worlds Within Worlds
Don Bradshaw-Leather - Distance Between Us
Nurse with Wound - To the Quiet Men From a Tiny Girl

Do yourself a favour and check out that documentary at some point - here's a small taste: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=a_8gOOXljpc It is rather brilliant and it shows the band at it's musical peak during the mid 90s. Their most recent albums (or indeed Anton's) are also pretty good imo...but I am a massive fan.

You'll probably think less of me, but I had the chance to see them at a festival last year, and I slept for a couple of hours instead  According to reviews, the band was incredibly bored, so I guess I didn't miss much.

^ Yeah, it's really nice.
