David Mancuso Presents The Loft, Vol.2: finding it more consistently engaging, for listening and imaginary dancing, than Vol. 1, which also has a number of highlights of course.
Discoggers have posted videos for every track here, I think:

some days I think serth is the best nnck

I just got into it the other night! Was more familiar w/ Letters From The Earth.

Was inspired to give it a listen after trying to find De Stijl's oral history of the band from their digital DL reissue campaign of 2013, and needing to activate/rely on the Wayback Machine to access it: http://web.archive.org/web/20130508005902/http://destijlrecs.com/124162.html

My NNCK go-to's are often Nine For Victor and Intonomancy, and then CINo 51 and Ytiu in terms of the end of their run.

serth is my fave as well

Spiritual jazz with gospel type choir on several tracks. Lead off track The Rain is quite awesome, almost literally.
Some shared qualities with Sun Ra especially when he had backing singers .
Cover looks like a tribute to I Am Legend, though looks like they picked vampires over NRA spokesman

Bristol based stoner rocking dunt. Guitars have a really creamy consistency and this rocks pretty hard.
HIdden track on disc one is pretty great set.

Previously unreleased lp by collegiate psychedelic band. Melodic, a bit trippy and really quite good.
Bandname was never going to be very memorable to most people. It's the designation of the Sombrero Galaxy a spiral galaxy discovered in 1781. Stellar but probably not th ebest idea for a bandname, too anonymous. THough MC5 seems to work fine, maybe its just shorter and more compact.

craig check the Embryonnck collaboration too, it's well good

Thanks for the recommendation!
I remember when that came out, but never fully gave it a shot--have been getting back into a fair am't of other Staubgold releases/reissues in this quarantime fwiw

Whoa, wait a minute--did NNCK pull another move similar to with A Tabu Two and Aftypiclipse with Embryonnck?
Am checking it out via Boomkat, and the CD and LP editions seems to be totally different takes--those rapsCKallioNNs

House Tornado and Fat Skier are the only Throwing Muses I've ever really enjoyed. Wish they could have done more like that.

The Psychic Paramount - II (2011)

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/726ea78590312557f5f75c08ebc5c4fc/1289331
Compilation of later Ochs, starting in around 67 so a bit after the more direct protest stuff. THink he's got a bit consciously eclectic.
Interesting melange of influences and semi philosophical work. Nowhere near as other as dylan I don't think.
Still some odd choices, though maybe that's what makes it work. Outside of A Small Circle of Friends' having this really comic take on old timey music behind the stories it tells & a few things like taht.
Not sure what to make of his voice which is really mellifluous.
Also chronology of tunes chosen seems a bit weird State of Richard Nixon is tuck in th emiddle of the tracks from Rehearsals For retirement his 1969 lp. Possibly wanted to make sure it was on disc1 for some reason of prestige? sure messes up the chronology though.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/fc7cb370b3bc5b320f4e889825e5b00c/1554561
Archie Shepp the lp that gave its name to a subgenre though it's nowhere near as hard as that might suggest.
Great stuff anyway. I need to hear the MC5 Ice Pick Slim take on lead off track Hambone, been meaning to look that up cos I haven't listened to it in years.
Also has Shepp's take on Girl From Ipanema and the spoken word over jazz of Malcolm Malcolm Semper Malcolm which is cool, a bit other, like.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/a02c0675a02f472a2a15e8d2002792a6/1969078
Early 70s NJ hard rockers. I was just realising how murky this cd I have which I though was a reissue was.
Nice heavy hitting, pretty necessary if you're looking for roots of stoner and grunge and stuff.

love the Fyre!

THink I tried to say thought was a remaster. It is really muddy whatever.
