Music Has the Right to Children, I'm guessing

Interesting thread. I had assumed most ilxors spend most of their time with new releases.

Singing Saw would be high up on my list too...but someway off The Beths' Future Me Hates Me and Prefab's Jordan/Swoon.

weirdly, probably Morbid Angel's Altars of Madness, mostly cos I got a vinyl copy last year and been playing it alot this year.

It's probably something from my bedtime headphone rotation, which for most of the pandemic has been either Tetsu Inoue's Inland, Eliane Radigue's Adnos I-III or Roland Kayn's Tektra, depending on which flavor of cosmic vista I'm in the mood for.

i have had the same music on my ipod shuffle since early 2020 and i listen to it while walking, so probably 5+ hours/week. Can, Shirley Collins, Fela Kuti, Felt, Feelies, Horse Lords, a collection of Colombian cumbia, lots of other random things but a very "me" mixture

It really helped me develop some kind of continuity during a time in my life that everything was in upheaval. I have listened to other music but the stuff on my shuffle has been repeated countless times

Going back to adolescence. This was a revelation for me. It still sounds great four decades later.

^love that one, gonna listen to it right now!

I don't have an answer to this thread. My listening habits have been affected by covid but if anything I abandon albums faster now rather than dwell on particular ones

Another vote for Snoopy, Peel by KMRU, All The Mirrors In My House by His Name Is Alive and Ov Biospheres and Sacred Grooves by PWOG

Wait I forgot a really important one -- the entire Zero Set album on shuffle, s/o to the person upthread listening to Cluster on repeat

Piggy Lepton (La Lechera), Tuesday, 18 January 2022 21:21 (two years ago) link

Gigi Masin - Calypso

Ah, easily Cocteau Twins' Heaven or Las Vegas !
I knew about them and had heard some of their 80s stuff as a kid since my sister was into all the new wavy/goth scene then but I never particularly cared.
Then last year, during the first lockdown in France (March/May) I really discovered them (thanks to an ILM thread actually !) and have totally fallen in love with the band.
I remember my Spotify end of year data showing that I listened to them far more than anything else last year.

pretty much same here, and probably related to the same thread, ha! cocteau fever was in the air in 2020/21. that pair of musicians, that deadly duo, so good!
