Pendragon - Love Over Fear

Meltdowner wrote: David: the Plantasia concert was great, Bruno arranged it to have a full Jazz/Funk/Exotica flavour, with lots of improvisation, while keeping the music's Electronic nature. I hope they'll record it. In the last few days: Malady - Toinen Toista (I was still on a Finnish Prog mood ;)) Jorge Palma - Asas e Penas (His most proggy effort after the debut) Älgarnas Trädgård - Framtiden Är Ett Svävande Skepp, Förankrat I Forntide (It's been so long since I listened to it. It's way trippier than I remembered) Steven Wilson - Hand Cannot Erase Landing - Bells in New Towns

I’m sorry Samuel - I completely overlooked your post whilst messaging Steve here the other day. I only read it now
Plantasia in a jazzy way sounds very enticing to these ears - again I wish I’d seen it myself! The fact that it also stayed true to it’s electronic birth...uuuhh mama sounds even more interesting
So err yeah if you ever bump into Bruno, please tell him to release that ASAP. We want it now!

The debut from Älgarnas Trädgård was a nice pick btw (says the guy who recently span it thrice in a single day )
Trippy is the right word, that’s for damn sure. It’s one of my favourite genuine - like in true psychedelic albums. It sends me on a journey every time I spin it.

Crime & the City Solution | The Bride Ship
The Damned | The Black Album
Embryo | We Keep On
Carla Bley | Tropic Appetites

Perhaps unconsciously! Oh geez Blackstar... I STILL have not listened to it even once, despite Debra buying it on the day of release. Why? Originally I was trying to prevent my enjoyment being influenced by the emotions over his death, and now years later, I feel like I’m just seeing how long I can go without hearing it (I do that with movies - the famous movies I’ve never seen would make you gasp). It’s stupid and pointless, and I should be beaten like a gong and run out of town like a diseased rat. Or I could just listen to the damn thing. But then there’s all those other Bowie albums in the 90s-00s I’ve never heard either. And it’s not even as if I’m the hugest Bowie fan anyway, apart from a few albums. Would I just be hopping on the bandwagon? SHOULD I EVEN BE THINKING LIKE THIS? 🤔 Well, enough cogitating for today. I’ll revisit this thought in the morning.

You have no idea how much I know that feeling
I spent most of the time surrounding the release of Radiohead’s OK Computer ducking every chance I got to actually listen to it...can’t remember the reasons...but surely not as valid as wanting to have somewhat of a clean slate with the album because Thom Yorke had died....but it did colour me and my feelings towards Radiohead. It’s only recently that I have given the band a second chance...and woe and behold if I don’t thoroughly enjoy some of their albums.

Anyway just me being my usually longwinded self trying to get you to taste the asparagus

Some newly acquired FZ (LA, Sleep Dirt) and McLaughlin vinyl, from a record show trip yesterday, some old punk CDs I haven’t played in a while (The Eat, The Queers), a New Zealand post-punk slowburner I got recently (Dadamah), and other stuff.
The Ariel Pink is not an official release, but a short live set I copied off Youtube many years ago. It contains a non-album EP track that I’ve chosen to be the next Ariel Pink song I cover for Volume 2 of the fan-built AP Tribute album. I did “Butt-House Blondies” a year and a half ago and now I’ve decided to tackle “Flashback”.
Here’s the former in case yr curious : https://arielpinknymphposting.bandcamp.com/track/ra-goat-butthouse-blondies

Rolling Stones | Their Satanic Majesties Request
Dadamah | This is Not a Dream
The Cure | Wish
The Eat | It’s Not the Eat, it’s the Humidity
The Mothers | Just Another Band from L.A.
Frank Zappa | Sleep Dirt
John McLaughlin | Devotion
Dogbowl | Flan
Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti | 4AD Session
The Queers | Grow Up

Grimes - Miss Anthropocene: I understand that she's pregnant with Musk's kid and frequently has her head up the mystic derriere betwixt the Sun Spheres, but that doesn't take away from how cool this album sounds. She's nuts, but she has skillz.
