What are you listening to? 2021

I'm wondering if there is a problem on the production on the release on that Embryo cd. It sounds distant and a biit quiet.
Could be that a different release version of that lp would connect a lot faster. I'm hearing bits I really like but it just doesn't seem to be as fully present as I'd want it to be.
That's the officially released copy protected Universal version. Wonder if that is a feeling constant with those, which would be a shame.

If in the mood for skronk and some really astounding percussion work, look no further.

just some old bullshit

Thanks to Chinaski's post of a mix of resonant spaces music, I'm sitting around waiting for routes at my gig, allowing my mind to be blown by how awesome this record is again.

Think there's only one bit that I thought was a bit naff.

(It's the Jherek Bischoff— it simply doesn't sound much like it was recorded in a cistern, tbqf, and is treacly somber chamber shit. I want DRONNNNNESSSSS)

This Jim Hall album from '75 is really, really good. Amazing sound and production. "Concierto de Aranjuez" is just a beautiful piece of music. Miles and Gil Evans said the softer you play the main melody, the stronger it sounds. The tone of Chet Baker and Paul Desmond playing that line is just an emotional dagger. Easily the best recording/track I have heard for the first time in a couple of years. The front half of the record is very good, but the title track I think is awesome.

Reunion lp by Brighton based indie band. It doesn't have the same continually refractive echoplexed guitar textures taht I loved about Euphoria, I t does continue with the singers intensely personal lyrics and delivery.
I have it on my 3 changer and I think it has so happened that I haven't had it turn up as consciously as the other 2 discs on there. So I'm not as familiar with it after a week. Don't think I like it as much as Euphoria but it's ok.

Eastern tinged kraut jamming. Nice angular but fluid take on rock , I enjoy the textures in the playing.
I think I found some live stuff from them a few years ago that I was really into. Not sure why it took so long to get a physical copy of the music though. This came as part of a 2disc set of the 1st 2 lps. Not heard teh 2nd one yet, have heard teh Eastern tinge has gone. THis 1st disc has the lp followed by an almost complete set of demoes for the tracks on it. & I've been listening through it all in one sitting that hasn't seemed like overkill.

THis is the box set still which for some reason has the first half of Rejuvenation on a disc with Cabbage Alley. I think Rejuvenation seems to be seen as about their best lp so you would think it might have been kept separate. But the box is 6 discs as it is.
Still splitting it seems a weird decision.
I think I'm more conscious of the tracks on Cabbage Alley which are pretty great. Some of teh tracks feature some pretty wildly heavy guitar though not sure it does tap straight into the same place as conscioulsy heavy rock bands did. maybe its coming straight from the source instead of being a recontextualised thing. BUT as per the first 2 discs this is superlative. One of the better sets I've picked up recently so glad i chose it to replace the Trees box that wasn't about to appear. Great Birthday present.
