It’s sorta like proto ambient whilst still coming off really interesting. Serene, beautiful and very nature-like in it’s expression. A great Vangelis album for pure relaxation  Yeah I added two spoons of honey to the old ears as well..by way of Floyd. I think I am going to keep it near the cd-player - just to spin it more often. Two times inside a time frame of two days is...well quite frequently compared to the last time around. Yesterday: Susanne Sundfør - The Brothel Semiramis - Dedicato a Frazz King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - Gumboot Soup Fleet Foxes - Crack-Up OOIOO - Gold & Green Nosferatu - s/t Roxy Music - Stranded Edgar Broughton Band - Inside Out Curtis Mayfield - Superfly Sly & The Family Stone - Stand! Bennie Maupin - Jewel In The Lotus |

Double Dare by Bauhaus has one of my favorite song intros. Is it a downtuned guitar or bass? Maybe Ash snd J are both playing bass. They did it on L&R’s “No Big Deal” too. But then what about those spidery guitar noises on top? Me today: Soft Machine | Seven Thee Oh Sees | Orc Swans | leaving meaning. Swans | The Glowing Man Sonic Youth | Sonic Death: Early Live Sonic Thrilled Skinny | It’s a Good Doss Genesis | Trespass Hawkwind | In Search of Space Algiers | The Underside of Power Edited by HolyMoly - February 28 2020 at 19:06 |

Yeah I haven't listened to them in eons, made me feel young again...and old at the same time I'm sure that Bad Brains album would do the same. Beach House - Teen Dream: Total dream pop. It took a second listen to feel the magic, but it won me over. Yo La Tengo - Fade: "Ohm" is dope! While listening to "I'll Be Around" I couldn't help but suddenly feel like I was listening to post-Barrett/pre-DSOTM Floyd. Bauhaus - In the Flat Field: One of the best openings of an album ever. Side A owns. Belle & Sebastian - Dear Catastrophe Waitress: Cool indie for smartypants types. I can be smart, and I occasionally wear pants so I totally dig it. Lee Jung Hyun - Let's Go To My Star: Trance music from the late 90's with a wild feral female Korean singer.

Yo David, thought you might be interested. A vinyl reissue of an old album I seem to remember you loving a lot.

^^ Great musical sequence! I never heard that Vangelis album though, what do you think of it? ^ I have the 2011 remaster. I really like that album, I was looking for something comfortable, along with Tidal it suited my mood perfectly, it was like two spoons of honey to my ears

Btw Samuel: how did you get on with Obscured By Clouds?
I literally just span the 2016 remaster here the other day as it is a part of the new archival releases. I’m not sure why but I am always blown away by how much I love that album....and then go a year or two between spinning it  I really dig the slow ooze of that album and the way it just seems to waft gently over you like a summerbreeze. *makes mental note of spinning Obscured By Clouds when he gets home* |

Swirlies - They Spent Their Wild Youthful Days in the Glittering World of the Salons: Long title, awesome album. Shoegaze/post-punk/noise rock. Such a wild ride.
The Cure - Three Imaginary Boys: Twitchy, nervy post-punk. Pretty sparse-sounding, no keys as far as I remember. "Subway Song" has that hilarious ending. Holy crap! Bat For Lashes - The Bride: I heard this wasn't so good so I put it off until recently. Lo and behold, I plyed it and consider it one of her best. Bat For Lashes - Lost Girls: Saw her in concert last week. Great intimate show in which she talked about each song before playing it. Just her and another woman, both on keys. She's quite a good live singer. Angel Olsen - My Woman: Never liked this but I keep trying. Now I'm at least getting into some of the later tracks by skipping the first half. Megadeth - So Far So Good So What: The 2004 remix & remastered version is crap. These songs need that original big 80's snare hits and reverb to give 'em that boomin' sound. Yumi Zouma - Willowbank: So much careful studio structuring down to minute details. Almost sounds overproduced in a sense; it sounds so perfect. Kinda samey after awhile. Incantation - Mortal Throne of Nazarene: These guys are from the NY area, and yet their album title sounds like some Japanese visual kei release. Was that intentional, or are they just a bit dumb... DRI - Dealing With It: Not as wild as their debut, but still super wild. "Couch Slouch" is an alltime fav. |

^ You’re pretty much right about live Cure, though it can be a treat to hear some of those atmospheric pieces in “raw” form, without the effects of production (kinda like the studio/live comparison of Joy Division) . Yet they still can fill out the sound without that production - e.g. “A Forest” doesn’t sound as introverted and reflective, but sounds just as massive and majestic; and then tunes like “The Walk” which were very synth-centric sound a bit different on stage, and not in a bad way. On the other hand, some of the songs do sound a bit weaker in live format (Shake Dog Shake, One Hundred Years). But overall it’s one of my favorite periods in the Cure’s history So it’s good to have.

Kiss Alive! was one of the first cd’s I bought with my own money...or well it was surely part of the first 20. I still think most folks that deem Kiss to be a sort of charicature band owe it to themselves to listen to this. It’s only rock n roll but it kicks arse!
Ace Frehley wasn’t completely void of skills either. I really dig the closer of cd 1 ‘She’ and the way the guitar riffs intertwine in this almost cacophonous burst of energy. Just beautiful. I have honestly never heard anything live from The Cure...and I am generally a live guy. Just never seemed like a ‘live-band’ to me if that makes any sort of sense. Yesterday: Black Mountain - In The Future (Finally found this!! Was searching for it here the other day to no avail. Still their best together with IV imho.) De Lorians - s/t (This is just so incredibly invigorating of an album! Sort of like Duke Ellington Band on shrooms doing a Canterbury inspired session) Edgar Broughton Band - Wasa Wasa Loosense - Saloon F*ck Buttons - Tarot Sport Funkadelic - Cosmic Slop Nil - Quarante Jours Sur Le Sinai Pond - Tasmania Tangerine Dream - Green Desert (Their best 80s album...from the 70s!) Dzyan - Time Machine (I saw you listening to the debut Samuel - have you checked out their following records?) |
