Reading through the mass of promo emails I got for Bandcamp Friday, I came across the new Miguel Mendez album on Deathbomb Arc. This is not one of the sounds I associate with that label, but I'm really digging it right now!

that is beautiful, and also what is that

the one just above is the third (i think? second on esp-disk anyway) release by alan sondheim/ritual-all-7-70; jazz derived improv with a touch of early moog use (prob my favourite of his/their work, though the others are excellent too imo)

The Circle! I love late period Wipers

took me a while to come around to their later stuff but it is excellent. Greg Sage's guitar playing and sound just got better as time went on.

Yeah it’s so sweet. Really dig The Herd. I’ve been wondering lately why he hasn’t released anything in the last 20 years. It feels like a remarkable silence. Maybe I just missed the memo

Is this more of a Pop lp than its immediate predecessor? Certianly seems a bit more upbeat and not quite as broodingly menacing.
I think this may be more about the riff too. Blooming great anyway. & Turn Blue has always stuck in my mind. Great existential angst feature,
Haven't listened to the live cd of either of these remasters yet. & haven't heard TV Eye lp in a few decades.
These studio lps do both sound quit egood right now. I think I was noticing more details in The Idiot though.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/c3de821e6d0764a053119c5c0afc701c/1948260
Charlie Haden solo project. I thought this had more chanting on but great lp reworking some folk themes etc
Several great New Thing horn players involved.

actually just swapped this on last night after tiring of the recent Mojo Festival cd.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/19364be551911fc180e8f72acfa353d0/4771026
Compilation of Iranina artists 70s work,. Got it from the Guerssen cheapos section and it took a while to arrive thanks to the lockdown's eeffect on the mail. Think I grabbed it as soon as the maiolorder satrted being able to send things out again. Now taken me way too long to get onto the player.
NOt 100% sold on it though. it has some interesting stuff on it but I'm not sure about first rate. Maybe it'll grow on me.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/527821320267a34fc03b4aba6f134f99/4994296
THis which came from the same purchase was pretty good though.
An ex dentist from Turkey.
anpother great voice from Anadolu Pop

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/85acfe79ee1f0599e96677f3695a1afa/7927389
Cardinal Fuzz label artist does great jazzy ambient lp

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/4078805a725c75bd3563fc23b730dfac/1237607
The one good lp from the Arista run I think. Though even this has some dodgy moments African Man should be excised massively. Is it intentionally racist or did that even occur to him?
Some great stuff elsewhere though
