I hope you get a chance to see them live. That is indeed the way to go with Causa Sui. I especially like the way Skøtt sounds in a live setting. Drrrrrums.

How did you find the new Wobbler album btw?

Epic? Yes, that's what I was going for. LOL

Glad you're enjoying BR, but you're doing it wrong! Tongue SM's my favourite E9 album, too, though. Funny how music works!

I have it, but haven't listened to it yet. A bit sceptical after reading a bit about it, but I'm ready to give it a chance!

I need to revisit it soon myself. From what I remember from hearing it a couple of times before their concert back in September, it's another strong release from these guys, but I don't remember too much details from it.

I also didn't spot the most recent eventyr album from Tusmørke called Bydyra. I got it here the other day and am head over heels in love! It sounds like the music from one of my favourite Danish cartoons 'Cirkeline' - y'know that saucy good slightly psychedelic yet highly melodic jazz rock that often adorn old school tv shows and cartoons.
There is even a song that includes the high pitcted mouse vocals of what I presume is the Norwegian cousin to our Danish Ingolf (think the mouse voices off Cinderella).
Sounds like Dungen were hired to make an album for hippie children.
I have, but haven't gotten around to listen to the two new Tusmørke albums either. Hopefully they're a notch or two up from their last two albums. For my money, they haven't quite managed to replicate the brilliance of their debut. A children's album from these guys sounds like a perfect match though, so I'm especially looking forward to hear that one.

Gudbrandsdalen, yes, I have family up there. A beautiful painting fitting the beautiful music. Good job, both of you! Clap

Anyway, last couple of days:

Metallica - s/t
Queensrÿche - Operation: Mindcrime (PM's usually not my thing, but this album just ticks all the right boxes for me.)
Rush - Hemispheres
Nine Inch Nails - Ghosts I-IV
Stefan Wenger - Ortus
Ruphus - New Born Day
Høst - På sterke vinger
Undertakers Circus - Ragnarock
Susanne Sundfør - Music for People in Trouble (First impression: really good. Her best yet? Mmm...possibly.)

Today's and yesterday's list.

Roger waters-- pros & cons of hitch hiking
Roger waters-- Radio Kaos ( pretty great album. Love the Mel Collins saxophone.
Queensryche: operation mindcrime ( finally tracked down an original cd pressing of this album and it is light years better than the 2006 catastrophe remaster found in the box set I bought many years back. If anyone wants a piece of advice, stay away from any Queensryche remasters. They are absolute garbage and that includes the 24-bit digital remasters as well. Stick with original pressings. :)
Supertramp-- breakfast in America (blu ray audio)
Rush-- Signals (blu ray audio)
Genesis-- we can't dance (it's a great album and a lovely recording. Can't knock it. ;)
Ministry-- Filth Pig
Lunatic soul-- 2
DIO-- last in line
Ozzy osbourne-- no more tears ( a loud mix, but still a highly listenable record at a higher volume. ;)
NIN-- down in it (EP Halo 1)
Fields of the Nephilim -- Psychonaut EP (1989)
Pink Floyd-- The Division Bell (original pressing)
Iron maiden--Fear of the Dark ( original pressing and the last of the Martin Birch era. What a fantastic cd. Huge punchy sound with loads of dynamics. Something that doesn't exist in today's metal releases. )
Gimmie my headphones now!!! 🎧🤣

Hmm, that's more or less how I felt the first couple of times I listened to it; an absolutely jaw-dropping, seat-of-your-pants cinematic kind of listen. But I found that after listen number four or so it more or less lost its effect. Hopefully it stays fresher longer for your ears, though. It has been a couple of months since my last listen, though, so maybe it's just one of those to periodically revisit to appreciate its full immensity.

Arco Iris - Los Elementales

Awesome choice, among the many others you seem to have in regular rotation. Hopefully I'll be unwrapping this one under the tree in a few weeks time. Big smile

Anyway, here were today's picks:

Wobbler - From Silence to Somewhere
Yes - Tormato
Deluge Grander - Oceanarium (A pretty serious AOTY contender)
Alan Parsons Project - Tales of Mystery and Imagination
Cirkus - Wild Dogs (A pretty big disappointment; I normally love Quebecois groups, and especially with all the high ratings this one had been getting I had been expecting this one to be one of my AOTY candidates. Unfortunately it just struck me as being so flat and uninspired that I couldn't even get through the first three tracks)
Hadal Sherpa - Hadal Sherpa
Nau Aletheia - Los Misterios de Eleusis
Island - Pictures (The whole city is engulfed in a fog so thick I can barely see across the street; this is exactly the kind of mindbogglingly eerie musical palette that such weather demands!)

Was asked to provide music for a friend’s birthday. Kept it to stuff I thought might be appealing to the people present. Played these: 

Tortoise - TNT
Can - Future Days
Jaga Jazzist - A Livingroom Hush

With bits off of:
Neu! - Neu!
Mogwai - Hardcore Will Never Die But You Will
Vulfpeck - Vollmich/Thrill of the Arts
Tortoise - Tortoise/Standards
Weather Report - Heavy Weather/I Sing the Body Electric
Stereolab - Emperor Tomato Ketchup/Dots & Loops
King Crimson - Discipline
Portishead - s/t
Don Caballero - What Burns Never Returns/American Don
Ashra - New Age of Earth
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Luciferian Towers
Do Make Say Think - Goodbye Enemy Airship the Landlord

Had to send out this very list to a few people who requested it. That kind of thing is always lots of fun.

Susanne Sundfør - Music for People in Trouble (First impression: really good. Her best yet? Mmm...possibly.)



I'm doing it wrong? My preferred way bar none!

I am listening to that Sundfør album btw. I seem to change my mind about it all the time though. Today the start of the album seemed so slow and unengaging that I seriously questioned how I just the other night had been completely head over heels in love with this. 2-3 tracks later and suddenly the music starts to gel again...
Hmmm maybe it is one of those deals where you genuinely have to be in a certain mood to 'get it'. Nah strike that, maybe it's just me who needs to be in a particular mood.

The new Ulver is an album that I really love. In fact so much so I'm seriously pondering whether or not to bestow upon it the all-important AOTY-title. Just feels a little weird on a prog rock site but then again half of my list isn't really what I'd call prog rock either. More like experimental.
One thing about the album: unlike most other Ulver releases this one actually starts out with the album's least interesting tunes. I really like em but the remainder of the album only gets better adding new wave and post-punk touches to the gorgeous contemporary electronics palette.

Yesterday:
Bushman's Revenge - Jazz...
Mumpbeak - Tooth
Band Of Gypsys - Live at the Fillmore
Canzionere del Lazio - Miradas
The Budos Band - ll
Suburban Savages - Kore Wa!
Thundercat - Drunk
Faust - So Far
Stormy Six - L'Apprendista
