new ooioo might be worth yr while if yer open to some gamelan prog punk

that was pleasant, if a little meditative for my current state (ill, distracted, tired) - might return to it later :)

LJ do you like Skeletons?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcwMyIJ0Ob8

think I've heard them before! they have some likeable elements. they remind me a little of the band Volcano! whom I've proselytised at length before - the latter are more frenetic, more vivid

Yea, weirdly I was looking at a Volcano! CD on my shelf about an hour ago thinking 'I can't remember anything about this'

did u listen to any arrigo barnabé yet

imago have you ever heard boogie down productions

you should really give Criminal Minded and By All Means Necessary a few spins

cool! well i'm back at home on my own proper internet connection tomorrow - over the weekend I'll listen to them :)

arrigo too, wins :/

right now i'm trying to spotify-stream the pet shop boys from a second-storey hotel room with an already-slow wifi box in the lobby pulsing out weak rays of sporadic provenance to my ken. it's no way to live

(but…you don't understand! ken is my interactive buttplug!)

wait, is the wifi box roaming around the hotel lobby?

are you gonna listen to track 6 of every album on the noms list or whatever you did last time?

My 2nd attempt to get you to listen to this...

give me some minutes, am out of doors and hurt

coffins on io v good obv DAM, more soon

nice sn

by some savage and beautiful coincidence, THAT is THE D'Angelo song I like best off the album - even more amazingly, my gf chose it as the representative track on our playlist of the ILM albums poll! it is brilliant and strange. I also like the opener, Charade and Prayer. so that answers your question too, wins - we're not on track 6 this year but the first 10 seconds of track 1, then more if it sounds any good (like D'Angelo)

Don't forget to give Eyvind Kang's latest album a good listen imago, it is extremely beautiful.

1000 Deaths is my second favorite song of the year. Livid beyond measure that I failed to nominate it for tracks poll

it didn't get nominated? o dear.

yeah listening to this again, it's insane and wonderful - when it explodes in the last minute, jesus. that groove

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAWmOoVJvIU

dunno if you know this esben & the witch song - might be something you'd enjoy? bit of a long one but not one minute wasted imo

many a genial time is had by those who locate atmosphere

Yes, especially the track 'Variel' in all its Arabic Toyland 70s movie dream sequence-ness.

If you haven't checked out The Narrow Garden, then that's a must also.

cool, will check these out

been playing the weyes blood album on repeat all morning. it is so so so so so good

You vote yet?

http://sturgillsimpson.bandcamp.com/track/it-aint-all-flowers

eh that's ok, got some surprisingly beautiful moments but probably not gonna disturb my ballot even if ilx is voting en masse ;)

esben and the witch song was nice

um

eyvind kang! oh god so much music though! been ploughing thru the list, so hard to know what to vote for now

one that got nowhere in the poll:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TW49X2G_Ss

you should listen to the jlin album, it is excellent

rad ok

yeah this is great

yep

imago, do you like Punishment of Luxury? they sometimes make me think of early Cardiacs covering John Foxx era Ultravox, or maybe vice versa

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RTQNmNJHuM

I meant to post that to the vaguely Cardiacsy prog-pop thread, but what's done is ddone

hey this is cool

it doesn't quite have the cardiacs melodic sensibility & hence the sublimity, but it is p wired in a good way

progge-poppe-landfill interzone bubbler seems relevant to your interests

(I love this)

Will get on that later

Is the Carly Rae Jepsen album something I might appreciate?

Do you like Carly Rae Jepsen?

ahem:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHmdci-fGLk

can scarcely believe i'm saying this but that FFS is almost TOO progge - the bit that kicks in after the intro and returns at the end is awesome but there's a but too much (arch and intentional) noodling for me. might well investigate further

this TFUL album is the fucken nuts :D

star trek -> tell me = XDDDDD

oh fuck, this has turned into the most intense fever dream

'tuning notes' is where it leaps off the cliff and becomes a classic album maybe

haven't listened to tful since college, happy to rediscover (& enjoying yr take)

I was thinking a little bit more today about those "difficult" pieces on MOAS. Although I appreciate the pared-down song-oriented tracklist someone posted in this (or the other) thread, the spacing of those tracks really helps with the sequencing and overall epic flow of the record.. I think that at the time there was some criticism of teh "practice room" pieces in the press but it was also kind of a statement of purpose by the band. At any rate, "Tuning Notes" has perversely become one of my fave tracks from that record as the years have gone by. It's just such a perfect window into their world, a distillation of the practice room experience.

imago, has anyone made you listen to 'mud' off the GABI album entitled 'sympathy' yet and if not, why not?
