hey, no biggie. the absu and discordance axis lps are longtime faves but I'll admit that they're not for most folks.
also, these albums are a blast to drive to. many, many plays when I commuted to work in a car.
anyone else doing a week?

Mordy was meant to do one. didn't smithy want a shot too?
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Friday, 3 September 2010 16:16 (thirteen years ago) link
Mordy are you doing it?
Do people still want to participate? If so, now appears to be the time to volunteer for future weeks.
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 6 September 2010 19:06 (thirteen years ago) link
Right, since its that time of year you hacks are picking your album lists lets revive the club?
Anyone up for volunteering?

turned my mod powers of darkness to your aid
― MMLLLARRRFF (jjjusten), Saturday, 9 October 2010 21:55 (thirteen years ago) link
Thanks kindly. btw no spotifys available and mods dont want illegal links so i guess if you dont have them you can find them easily enough. Well worth it IMO.
Would you like to take a week evil mod jj?

I'll do a week of 2010 stuff. Some of my favorites probably haven't been heard by many folks.
― EZ Snappin, Sunday, 10 October 2010 17:26 (thirteen years ago) link
As far this weeks picks go, I keep forgetting the Ludicra was this year. I listened to it so much deep in the winter that I think of it as older. Great record, but I didn't fully appreciate it till I saw them live. Outstanding live band.
The Harvey Milk is good, but I liked the last better. There were moments of twisted levity amidst the bleakness that I miss on A Small Turn Of Human Kindness.
The Dawnbringer I'm undecided on. It's definitely a solid record, but I heard it and the Christian Mistress about the same time and I like the latter's approach to retro-NWOBHM better. Should probably listen to it again in a bit and try to separate the two, but I keep being drawn to the CM record if I'm in that kind of mood.
― EZ Snappin, Sunday, 10 October 2010 17:31 (thirteen years ago) link
Ok!
18 October - JJ25 October - EZ Snappin1 November - Aldo8 November?
I personally prefer the Dawnbringer to the Christian Mistress (I do like it though)

i haven't heard dawnbringer, but ludicra's in the running for best metal of the year, for sure. i like how much it rocks. the riffs and the way the guitars play together reminds me of "ride the lightning," though i didn't get that until i saw them live.
harvey milk, i can see why somebody wouldn't like it as much as "life... the best game in town." it's dense, not nearly as inviting. it also doesn't seem as crushingly, oppressively heavy as the first two albums, though it seems like a pretty conscious return to what they were doing then.

if anyone wants Ludicra vinyl you can get it from http://www.thronerecords.net/

Ludicra is on my short-list, too. The other two don't do anything for me.

A day late and dollar short but here's my picks for some overlooked gems of 2010:
Across Tundras - Old World Wanderer
http://www.progarchives.com/progressive_rock_discography_covers/4077/cover_18192342010.jpg
They're giving it away so no excuses
Black Bombaim - Saturdays And Space Travels
http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/7734/blackbombain.jpg
Samsara Blues Experiment - Long Distance Trip
http://www.progarchives.com/progressive_rock_discography_covers/5307/cover_4818152522010.jpg
They aren't giving it away (I bought the import from All That Is Heavy) so it's up to you if you find a way to hear it.
― EZ Snappin, Monday, 18 October 2010 13:16 (thirteen years ago) link
Across Tundras are great.
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 18 October 2010 13:41 (thirteen years ago) link
I really enjoy the Black Bombaim record; I'll always have room for crazy Earthless style psyche-metal jamming.
― EZ Snappin, Monday, 18 October 2010 15:03 (thirteen years ago) link
ok you sold me, i found it too.
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 18 October 2010 15:25 (thirteen years ago) link
(thanks to your link obviously)
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 18 October 2010 15:28 (thirteen years ago) link
Do Samsara Blues Experiment sound like Colour Haze?
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 18 October 2010 15:30 (thirteen years ago) link
A bit. One of the many German stoner rock bands playing on that same ballfield. There are some cuts up on youtube if you wan't to check it out before hunting it down.
― EZ Snappin, Monday, 18 October 2010 15:33 (thirteen years ago) link
i found it quite easily. will report back.
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 18 October 2010 15:34 (thirteen years ago) link
have you ever heard My Sleeping Karma?
No I haven't. Similar kind of thing?
― EZ Snappin, Monday, 18 October 2010 15:35 (thirteen years ago) link
instrumental proggy spacey psych with keyboards!
