New Steve Hackett on the way. I am skeptical, but somehow it ended up in the cart anyway.

Mastodon - Emperor of Sand (their best since Crack the Skye)
Dutch Uncles - Big Balloon (they call it "indie", but it's got 80s Crimson/Talking Heads written all over it!) Fen - Winter (really good prog/atmoblack metal Soen - Lykaia (A Perfect Circle covering Katatonia; more 2003' Opeth than Tool, btw) Elbow - Little Fictions (another "indie", but very Talk Talk(ish)/2002' Peter Gabriel to me) King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard – Flying Microtonal Banana (math-surf microtonal insanity!) |

Also good to see this forum ignoring new Pallbearer - all the mainstream reviews are like THIS IS SO PROG, but all I hear is Type O Negative covering Nickelback. No idea what "prog" the music media been listening to if THAT is considered prog by them, bleh

2017 has been interesting so far. It has seen both King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard and Blanck Mass produce their finest work to date. The former sound more adventurous yet still clinging onto that charming psychy garage style of theirs, whilst Blanck Mass' World Eater retains a black 80s dystopian power comparable to that of a few Joy Divisions yet all of this is handed over to the listener in brightly coloured electronics and swooping melody lines. Modern electronic at it's very best.
I also rather dig the new Richard Pinhas album Dronne. Perhaps not all that surprisingly the music takes on these droning qualities - eliptical reverberating guitar experiments yet somehow the music doesn't come off particularly one-sided. There's all kinds of colours, shimmers and twinkles oozing up from various usage of pedals and erfects and the surrounding hypno drums and see sawing electronics transform Pinhas guitar lines into something verging on melody and additionally wraps the whole experience in a psychedelic veil that suits pretty damn good imho. One of my fave discoveries this year has been Thundercats' Drunk. Damn what a saucy throwback to those bouncy Funkadelic years during the 70s...but on this particular record they seem spliced together with the neopsychedelic antics of a black Ariel Pink. Sound weird? It isn't. It's like slipping into a hot bath. New Temples album Volcano is still too new for me to have formed an opinion. It does however sound like they've followed in the footsteps of Tame Impala and Pond incorporating synth hooks and a good whiff of the 80s into the mix. Grails are still at the top with Chalice Hymnal. That album is just gorgeous. Like micing up a river in the mountains. To be continued.. |

^Been meaning to check out that King Gizzard album.
Thundercat's great. My favorite thing of his is an EP actually, The Beyond / Where the Giants Roam. Otherwise, I've been listening to Seiko Oomori's kitixxxgaia. Definitely pop, but she has an arty bent. Kind of a deconstruction of Japanese idol pop, while also being a celebration of it. She's a great melodicist, too, and there are many earworms on this album. Overall not as solid as her previous, but it's still pretty enjoyable (to me). |

Been enjoying the latest Junius album "Eternal Rituals For The Accretion Of Light". Nicely done post-metal with some of that Alcest heavy shoegaze style mixed in (albeit with a little more "manliness" to the vocals).

Only two new albums so far this year for me, Thinking Plague - Hoping Against Hope, and Mike Oldfield - Return To Ommadawn. The TP is outstanding & will probably be challenging for top spot by year end, MO is very good, while not quite up to the original or Hergest Ridge level it is back to the style of his I love the most and a worthy addition.

New Pond album on the way. The Weather releases early in May
![]() Another one to look forward to is Homunculus Res. These guys are working on their third album and if they continue down the Canterbury road, I'll be a happy bunny. I would like to hear some new stuff from: Scott Walker Todd Terje (Come on Todd!!! It's Album Time is already 3 years old) Setna Boards Of Canada FSOL Date Course Pentagon Royal Garden Burial (a full album thank you!!! So tired of dishing out dough for tiny eps) Viet Cong Dead Can Dance |

The more I listen to Thundercat the more I hear Ariel Pink ![]() Definitely looking into his back catalogue at some point. Thanks for the vid - I really enjoyed that. How's your electronic muscles developed? Can they take a little rockless tunes or are they still in their infancy? If not I heartedly recommend that Blanck Mass album. It's got this wild urban industrial feel to it that genuinely suits every street view you ever care to find. |

Aborym - Shifting.negative is an TERRIFIC album from this year, these guys freed themselves from extreme metal conventions and made an awesome album that is on par of the Pryapisme - Diabolicus Felinae Pandemonium in terms of quality and inovation, recommend to everyone really!!
