budd & eno - plateaux of mirrors (probably my fave ambient release though i don't think it is ambient at all)
klaus schulze - irrlicht (1st time listen. impressive. lots of organ a little like the stuff they play at the end of a church service when the organist improvises disharmonically to say to the people to get out asap to donate. the quieter parts are ambient before the term existed. from 1972)

this thread depresses me. autistic as fuck. just tell me you are all bots. it would make me feel better.

i am sorry, user alex in mainhattan, i do not understand "autistic as fuck." please resubmit.

― GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ, Sunday, 25 February 2007 00:12 (nineteen years ago)

user 1: i listen to a, b and c
user 2: i listen to d, e and f
user 3: i listen to x, y and z

do you call that communication? maybe it has to do with the thread question. which is rather pointless and doesn't really deserve a thread where people interact. why do you listen to what you listen to? or what do you hear, feel, think when you listen to what you listen to? could be questions which would make this thread more human. and more insightful. anyways just go on and feel free to ignore my laments...

― alex in mainhattan, Sunday, 25 February 2007 00:33 (nineteen years ago)

alex, you've probably got a point. but these threads tend to just be "(username) WAS HERE" affairs, and many's the time i don't have much to say about what i'm listening to. maybe you should start the next one and call it TITTWW: post what we're listening to and actually say something about it.

but that camel album? some nice bits of synthesizer gloss but overall succumbs to the tragic studio-plod that pink floyd popularized with dark side of the moon. i haven't listened to side 2 yet.

― GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ, Sunday, 25 February 2007 00:38 (nineteen years ago)

thanks. thing is i don't know most of the bands people listen to, so i was rather selfish in my last post. camel i know though and your description makes perfect sense. probably most people don't think a lot when they listen to music (me included) as they do other things at the same time. yes, i should start a thread. i haven't done that for ages.

Flora Purim - Butterfly Dreams

― Hurting 2, Monday, 26 February 2007 16:02 (nineteen years ago)

i'm listening to Turn On The Bright Lights.

:)

also:

Deerhoof and Of Montreal, both of whom i witnessed live in a week's span.
The Congos - Congo Ashanti..........absolutely gorgeous.
Menomena - Friend and Foe..........i like it a bit.
Modest Mouse - WWDBTSES leak.........fucking LOVE it. MUCH better than the last one. i'm a Northwesterner who has connections to MM's Issaquah roots. i connect on a very intimate level with music mainstream enough even to feature Johnny Marr!

Unicorns - WWCOHWWG?...............a THC-infested night of this album completely boggled me to the core. this is one of the most perfectly composed and executed pop albums of all time. yes.

Bob Dylan - "Jack of Hearts"
.....i always yelp these lyrics while i'm skateboarding. so.

Crystal Castles remixes.....oh yes.

Sigur Ros - Saeglopur EP
astoundingly great mood music. i get depressed sometimes.

PacNW + severe-anxiety/mild-depression/Zoloft =
CARISSA'S WIERD. always. they're my best friends ever.

and:::: PLEASE CHECK THIS OUT:

my good friend from school who writes amazing songs as a goddamn hobby. he's got a gorgeous voice. i'm spreading the word and have been asked to tell everyone that i accept any and all criticism, as long as there's a constructivist bent to it. thanks.

Gang of Four - Entertainment!{/i] (why is this album so, so awesome?)
Evan Parker - [i]Lines Burnt in Light (same as above)

― Ivan, Monday, 26 February 2007 17:42 (nineteen years ago)

I refuse to format anything ever again.

Flora Purim - Butterfly Dreams

Flora Purim makes up about 50% of the music I heard as a kid before I discovered music on my own. My pops knew a good thing.

― The Reverend, Monday, 26 February 2007 19:05 (nineteen years ago)

Der TPK: Harmful Emotions -- It's... okay. Decent, (presumably) improvisational post-punk racket. Funny how everybody keeps aping the press kit in comparing 'em to Savage Republic. While occasional songs on side two are very vaguely reminiscent of SR, I hear a lot more Fall, and not only in the vocals. The good tracks are all about 10 minutes too short.

Salt 'n' Pepa "Push It" 12-inch. Bought for a couple bucks 'cuz I don't have a vinyl copy. Played it several times last night, will be totally sick of it (yet again) by tomorrow morning.

Animal Collective People EP and Panda Bear "Bro's" 12-inch. Both worth hearing. "Bro's" is better. Neither is anywhere near good as the best stuff on Sung Tongs. Starting to look like that was a solitary moment of grace who's like we'll never see again.

Still playing Nachtmystium's Instinct:Decay over and over and over...

― Pye Poudre, Monday, 26 February 2007 20:23 (nineteen years ago)

that nachtmystium album is great. i was surprised after being sorta bored by his earlier records.

so far tonight:

the power of zeus - the band people should really be using when they need a descriptor for wolfmother. you know, instead of "a shitty, modern version of (led zeppelin/uriah heep/t. rex)," a shitty, modern version of the power of zeus.

christian marclay records - i watched that documentary on youtube about him. and that made me want to listen to this. "groove" and "black stucco" specifically.

the gates of slumber the awakening - doom metal. pretty good, but the singer's voice reminds me of someone and i can't quite place it. wino? phil rind?

― GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 09:36 (nineteen years ago)

oh and fantastic damage because i couldn't really remember any of the songs except "deep space 9mm."

Listening to the small new Queens Of The Stone Age snippet on their site. Over and over again. (starts about halfway here. Another edit, no vocal, is on their MySpace.)

― StanM, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 13:14 (nineteen years ago)

Leroy Jenkins's Themes & Improvisations on the Blues
...A beautiful and interesting record, listening to which now makes me really sad.

Nikakoi, Shentimental
This's his (Nika Machaidze's) second one under the Nikakoi moniker. And does indeed sound pretty true to its title.

― t**t, Tuesday, 27 February 2007 17:51 (nineteen years ago)

Orange Juice, Josef K, "Ethiopiques 21," Chills, The La's BBC sessions, and lots of Cuban piano.

John Coltrane - The Major Works of John Coltrane (Ascension, Om, Kulu Se Mama, Selflessness).

― Hurting 2, Thursday, 1 March 2007 04:27 (nineteen years ago)

Does anyone have any re-master related advice on these works? I bought a used GRP-era cd copy and find some of the material doesn't sound so good - I don't know if that's a problem original to the recordings or not.

― Hurting 2, Thursday, 1 March 2007 04:48 (nineteen years ago)

Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works, Volume II

i've got an earworm going of the left end spoiled rotten. could be worse than some sub-70s alice cooper cockrock'n glammy tardness.

as an aside, if you can program this damn board to make red text pop up and warn me that i'm typing in HTML, can't you just make it convert my html to BBcode. GARRRR.

― GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ, Thursday, 1 March 2007 06:42 (nineteen years ago)

the real bahamas in music and song - various artists (nonesuch, explorer series) well there's lots of "joseph spence & family" on it here, so it's a good thin'

cats on fire 'the province complains', this is really terrific. now to wait for a new le futur pompiste album someday. go finland.

― keythkeyth, Sunday, 4 March 2007 00:45 (nineteen years ago)

scott seward i have two questions:

1. is that scandahoovian metal attack comp the one with the weird slowed-down demo versions of bathory tunes or are they the same as the album tracks?

2. is that rods album worth getting? i see their shit all the time and i sort of regret not buying rock hard when i last saw it.

to respond to the thread: HYDRA VEIN. see rolling metal for details you don't care about.

― GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ, Sunday, 4 March 2007 02:04 (nineteen years ago)

1. i haven't heard that 84 full-length in a gazillion years, but maybe yes? "war" sounds so cool. could be.

2. yes! totally worth it! i want them all now!

now playing:
