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

Yesterday:
Vangelis - Antarctica
Ty Segall - Freedom’s Goblins
Talking Heads - Little Creatures
Weather Report - Sweetnighter
Aphex Twin - Syro
Oranssi Pazuzu - Mestarin Kystin
Gorillaz - Plastic Beach

The Nice | Nice - 3rd album, early psychedelia left behind, in favor of a more jazzy direction

Seaside Lovers | Memories in Beach House - early 80s Japanese studio project, in the yachtrock/jazz-fuzak vein. Very corny on the surface, but I’ll be darned if every one of these songs doesn’t stick in my brain and make me think of a beach vacation.

Devadip Carlos Santana | Oneness — solo album, late 70s. Mostly instrumental, in the style of his more jazz stuff. Highly recommended.

The Subhumans (Canada) | Incorrect Thoughts - spinoff of DOA, tough midtempo melodic punk songs. Some really great songs on this (Behind my Smile, Dead at Birth)

Sonic Youth | Sonic Death: Early Live Sonic - a collage-like compilation of live snippets from early shows featuring songs from the first 2 albums. Cavernous, spooky, and spacious.

Flaming Lips | American Head — newest album. Didn’t like it a lot on my first listen but this time it hit the spot. Well above average for them at this point in their career

PFM | The World Became the World — always wondered why people complained about the English language versions of their stuff, but now I know. Some of this is pretty hard to listen to, honestly. The diction, timing, and even pitch are off at times. The music is brilliant, of course.

Captain Beyond | S/t — flippin’ amazing album. Every prog fan should have this. Bobby Caldwell was truly inspired when he wrote this stuff.

Blue Cheer | Vincebus Eruptum - Heavy handed heavy rock before its time. Summertime Blues sucks ass, but the rest of it is pretty cool, especially on their original material. Nice over-the-top vocal wailing and overdriven fuzz guitar.

Back at it. The theme of last albums.

Thin Lizzy— Thunder & Lightening ( what a great last album. )

Roxy Music— Avalon ( another terrific last album. )

Black Sabbath— Heaven & Hell (2008 deluxe 2cd edition )

Saviour Machine— Legend : 3:1. ( it feels so good to revisit one of my favorite bands of all time. Again another incredible last album. )

David BOWIE— BlackStar ( maybe the ultimate in last albums. )

It is the loudest version yet, however the mastering isn’t bad at all. Pretty clean sounding in the right ways. The remix bonus track of “the mob rules” is absolutely awesome and this new 2021 edition is worth it just for that track alone!) NIN— Pretty Hate Machine ( sonic gold. Gets better with every listen for me. ) DIO— Strange Highways (SHM CD) — DIO’s best album of the 1990’s. Easy. The Mike Fraser mixing is gold. The Police— Zenyetta Mondada ( This gets the audiophile award of the nite for me. Crazy enjoyable sonics. Beautiful DNR and super clean vocals. ;)

Hi Nick aka Mcdaddyo
I’ve always loved Vangelis for his wafting and esoteric sensibilities. There’s just something very elegant over his music.
It’s been a while since I last span some Police...but I have been boogying with 80s tricks such as Talking Heads and The Cure.

Yesterday:
Weather Report - I Sing The Body Electric
Steven Wilson - The Raven That Refused To Sing
Radiohead - Hail To The Thief
Steve Hackett - Please Don’t Touch
Animal Collective - Strawberry Jam
The Sensational Alex Harley Band - Framed
The Knife - Shaking The Habitual
Serge Gainsbourg w/ Vannier - Histoire De Melody Nelson
Procession - Fiaba

Last night......

Right back atcha Steve
Always nice to see this thread going and seeing where people are going next..musically.

Nick: I think you’re spot on. Those Police albums, hell even the debut, are all very well recorded. I do have a tendency to get lost in the drums though...love Stewart’s playing.
Black Sabbath with Dio eh? I heard Vol 4 a couple of nights back

Yesterday:
Steve Hackett - Defector
Chameleons - Strange Times + the extra album that follows suit on my cd version (both are brilliant!)
Echo & The Bunnymen - Crocodiles
Magma - Üdü Wüdüh
Herbie Hancock - Mwandishi
Weather Report - Mysterious Traveller
Duran Duran - Rio
Nils Frahm - All Melody
Waste Of Space Orchestra - s/t
