not surprised that finally got booted, it's extremely awesome and in demand

I want the whole thing so bad, especially "Shuttlecock", "Deep Distance" and "Lotus"

I'm listening to the last Apartments album on repeat lately, perfect for the extended Canadian quarantine blues. I think it might be Peter Milton Walsh's best-ever set of songs. Really superlative aging-sad-man shit, "late work" type shit.

Cocteau twins EPs. Sound quality is so much better than the remastered tracks on Lullabies to Violaine.

Man I love that period of Striborg

Found this in my stacks last night, no idea I owned it or why. Overproduced 1985 Japanese pop/rock that even goes kinda Quiet Storm at one point. I didn't like it at all. But it has gone for up to $138 on Discogs? Make me an offer!

I'd guess that price rise is due to this comp from 2020:

Interesting, thanks. I'm reading about Japanese "city pop" now. I had no clue.

unsure where else to ask, but is there a thread for posting your own music on ilx?

maelin, Thursday, 8 April 2021 22:01 (three years ago) link

What do you sound like on Nu-ILX?

The new compilation of all of the mid 60s material by the great psychedelic band originally from California who John Peel was instrumental in getting to move to London. So far I've listened to the first disc which is the LOndon era material with new English guitarist Tony Hill . He was later shown to be pretty incredible when he moved onto High Tide, here he may be slightly overshadowed by Glenn campbell on pedal steel in fact seems like all of teh band is pretty masterful. I love the drum sound on a lot of this.
Pretty essential psychedelic stuff.
NOt heard the 2nd disc which is their Riverside era yet. I think this set is largely mono since the earlier Edsel set was i fake stereo .
It also contains a summary of Mike Stax's lengthy band history which appeared across several issues of Ugly Things a few years ago as teh linernotes.
Pretty necessary methinks

//e.snmc.io/i/300/w/3f5ac748d6c9e168bb6e382b5e28b5a9/1334993
THe 3rd and most electronic drenched lp by the Herbie Hancock led band. I haven't listened to this as intently as I did this week. & this was teh 2nd copy of the disc i had bought as part of a 3cd set of Herbie's mid 70s stuff.
I just read Bob Gluck's book on the band, You'll Know When You Get There which was a really good read. I have all 3 lps on cd, couldn't find teh previous 2 last week but need to really listen to those too.
BUT thgis is really something else electronic input makes it really psychedelic . Or at least contributes even more to it. THe bands interaction particularly on the longest track here Hornets is quite amazing too. Very trippy.
Shame they couldn't continue to build on what tehy were getting to. BUt glad we've got these 3 and the live stuff including a few video clips from live sets on tv. I thik that stuff is not as electronically drenched as this though since its from theh couple of years before. So a bit less Patrick Gleason who became increasingly integrated over teh years as did the sound guy who was treating instruments as tehy played and stuff.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/w/8e9c87caca4dcc9f500f87891a5b3082/8475838
THis week was the 3rddisc of this set. Pretty great guitar and his voice . Not quite as innovative as the mid 60s stuff i think but still pretty great.
Haven't heard the first disc yet.
Have seriously enjoyed the 2 discs I've heard so far though.
IU think this is from around 68 onwards. But he changed labels around the turn of the 70s so this cuts off at that point.
Again pretty essential I think.
THink I seriously like soul stuff from the turn of the 70s

xpost to sleeve - the gonchavrova collection? only recently came across her due to her association with various soviet jazz/experimental people of the time... after a first listen i really like it. hopefully there'll be a vol.2 one day.

also that turkish comp looks awesome. only familiar with a few names on there... have never heard any okay temiz outside a jazz context.

^^^bookmarked for later, thanks. think i first heard him playing with cherry on live in ankara which is a total blast. really like this lp. the only other release i have by him is from the early eighties with some nice messed up synth stuff. also still need to hear his various recordings with johnny dyani!

I think they came from where i spent my childhhod, Woodford Green Essex. Like just outside the boundaries of London. If taht's still true.
I got the Background version back in the early 00ies.
Have meant to pick up the BGO 2fer of teh 2 lps, this and Lady lake and still haven't.
There was a live set released from 1972 too.
