Interesting.

I'd say our tastes align pretty well (perhaps something like 80%...but who the hell knows how I'm coming to that figure) but of the 13 out of the 18 that I know and/or have heard only 3 will probably be in my top 15 come the end of the year (unless there is a surprise listen that explodes my eardrums, which is always possible).

(Those three...Node, Led Bib, Factor Burzaco)

Better late than never eh. 
Anyways, if you're looking for new Boris albums, then be sure to check out Pink, Heavy Rocks, Flood and my own personal fave Rainbow, which is a collaboration with Ghost guitarist Michio Kurihara.

Plus I figure there at least is a couple of Boris fans on here. They're not that far off some of the artists we've got under our belt here on PA.


Yeah I knew Colin (Triceratopsoil) is a big fan, but I never got around to checking them out until now.

Yeah, there's so many sure-to-be-good-or-at-least-interesting releases this fall. I still need to check out new Boris. I've only recently gotten into them.

New Ariel Pink album?
Well shiver me timbers! Soooo much new music coming that I want to check out, and that also includes Sun O)))s collaboration with Scott Walker, which is coming next month methinks.

Oh and that Boris album really went down like a treat today (just like yesterday). It's a bit of everything thrown together. I hear parts from all over their career only here condensed into one seemingly together record. I really dig that.

Boris is such a great band.  I only recently got "Noise", so I haven't listened to it many times, but it's proving to be another fine album from them.

My favorite album of 2014 is the Ariel Pink album due out in November (it's finished already) Cool
Premature statement? Maybe.

My thoughts exactly, this is why they have been rejected for inclusion.

Maybe one album to check for the post-metallers out there is Telepathy's 12 Areas

Hi,
 
I don't have a list!
 
I can't even come up with the right words to review the Djam Karet's album. I like it a lot, but the words aren't quite there yet!
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!
