I remember that My Sleeping Karma album from a couple of years back. Heavy riff laden psych rock if I remember correctly?
Tame Impala - Currents Banda do Casaco - Konks today
Yes it is! I continued my space trip on my way home with Equations, their album just keeps getting better
You're right. It was a nice change of pace after Samsara's more aggressive sound
I listened to a couple of tracks from that new album: if their previous music was too Pop for my taste, this one is even more
Heh...yeah the new Tame Impala is very poppy....though in a nice 80s synth dressing. The trick is to play it right after something wild - like Fire! Orchestra if you get my drift. Soothes the punch with a cooling toniq of uncomplicated music and a great big beer/splif/dog/swim.
Konks today - konks tomorrow. 10-4

Seven Impale--city of the sun. (Loving this one more and more with each listen. What a pleasure. A saxophonist's delight. ) NIN--year Zero (not as bad as most people let on. A rock solid electronic album. ) Pink Floyd--wish you were here. (I will never tire of this album. ) Symphony x--divine wings of tragedy. (Gearing up for underworld. ;)
^ I've never explored the dark side of the moog series before. There's just so much Schulze material out there that it literally makes my head spin. Aside from all his wonderful studio efforts, there's the La Vie Electronique series as well, which consist of something like a week's worth of new material that never found it's way onto an album. Are there any must-haves in the dark side of the moog releases?

Hi Dave. Well volume 7 is the only one I have and I love it. It's pretty trancey in parts (I know that would be a problem for some proggers but not you or I!) but ambient in others. That one comes recommended. The problem is they are all pretty rare and very expensive. I saw vol 7 for about £10 from an Amazon vendor and went for it straight off. I try to keep an eye out for any of the other volumes but no luck so far.
You're right about Klaus, the guy has just been so prolific. I have about 20 albums of his but that just scratches the surface. There's some gems on the LVE series though I've only got 4 of those. I love his last studio album Shadowlands. I'm really digging Are You Sequenced at the moment too.

How's life treating you?
Ahh ok that explains a lot. Every time I seem to come across these Dark Side of the Moog releases, they cost a small fortune. Probably also why I've never taken the plunge - especially seeing as so many of his other albums are sold at a rather fair price. The ones from La Vie Electronique are often very cheap considering just how much music you get for your dough.
Heh I thought I was the only one who'd purchased Shadowlands. I simply adore the first disc but haven't really gotten my head around the second - felt a little too..erm docile/ambient perhaps? A revisit seems in place methinks.
Btw have you ever checked out Steve Moore's (one half of American electronic act Zombi) solo output? I think you'd dig his two most recent albums. Light Echoes sees him moving away from composed material and into a looser and ultimately more Berlin sounding palette with both nods to TD and Schulze (although he still retains his own 'voice' if you will), whereas his newest 'Pangaea Ultima' is a move towards a more original and modern expression.
I'm doing good thanks. I just spent a fortnight in Copenhagen, and while it was a lot of fun with friends and strangers, I still am feeling the aftermath of too much fun/drinking. So much so that I'm pondering just where the hell my summer vacation went. I start my studies in 10 days. Time to hit the water-wagon perhaps.
Aside from that I'm just thrilled to lay around in my folks garden watching bumblebees flicker about like small fury drunk insects - listen to FSOL (like today) and just breathe ever so slowly. I love when time slows down to an ooze.

On those cases I prefer listening to Jazz, Classical or Electronic stuff... like today
I thought 5 CD's was enough for today, I guess not Gazua - Convocação Dream Theater - Awake Anaquim - As Vidas dos Outros The Doors - LA Woman Syndone - Odysséas (Amazing as always, this album is an emotional roller coaster ) Fire! Orchestra - Exit (Wild indeed ) Freddie Hubbard - Hub-Tones
Gotcha No pop for Kid Portuguese (Sounds like a gun slinger from an old western).
I just listened to LA Woman here the other day whilst visiting some friends. Man I love that album - then again i love every Doors album ever made - even The Soft Parade.
Anyway, there's just something about putting LA Woman on while playing pool, completely unshaved and with a huge beer in one's hand. Go together like blue socks and whiskey - a match made in heaven.

Pop Rock is tolerable, but their music is played over and over on the radio and I find his voice really annoying I liked that new Pond album though
Me too! That's not shocking to me, Soft Parade is actually one of my favourites That's probably because he has a huge beard on the cover photo
Oh yeah - I'm far more into Pond these days. Their newest is one of the best albums I've heard all year. Oh well, they're also a lot more....interesting/progressive/psychedelic
Speaking of The Soft Parade - do you own the boxset?
It has this INCREDIBLE live version of The Soft Parade (title track) that I find it hard returning to the one found on the original album.
Oh my there it is (thank you JooToob):
....and yes you're probably right - it's to do with the beard LA Woman is better when you're unshaved.
Sagi knows what I'm on about.

Oh Dave you're the man! I don't own this boxset but this version of Soft Parade is absolutely the best, I knew it from the album Essential Rarities, I got that album before owning The Soft Parade and eventually when I got the original album I also thought Man how can I listen to this version after that live one?
But of course in the end I've grown to like the original version too.
Right back atcha my friend! That version is da bomb!! Jim's voice is booming.
It was recorded in studio right after they'd returned from the bar further down the street. A bit of whiskey is good I guess. It's a fine line though - especially with Jim.
The same boxset contains this little beauty (complete with Jim's words about fellatio):
Wrong picture though. Gloria was never on Absolutely Live
Ok I'll stop with ze Doors now. Safe to say the boxset is a no-brainer for anyone into this band. There's soooo much unreleased and utterly fantastic material to be found therein.

I love the title track, it's "the best part of the trip". I didn't know that version, it's so awesome I also didn't know the boxset, I'll have to look for it I have a boxset with the first six studio albums and Absolutely Live on vinyl, it was the first LP I bought

I used to do the same thing while listening to Morrison Hotel.....though sadly I haven't played pool for awhile.
I need to take my son in law to the local pool hall.
One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin
Joy division--Heart and soul box set (Disc 2 only. ) Saviour machine--Legend pt 2:1 special edition. YES--Keys to ascension ( disc 2 only)--- gonna miss that Chris squire so much. Devin Townsend-- deconstruction Pink Floyd--WYWH Panic room--Incarnate Fields of the Nephilim--Remixes and rarities
