The point of these threads is to encourage people to look for new and interesting music. We do this by listening to and ideally discussing albums we've never heard before. Many of us already listen to new music daily, these people are in it to venture "out of their comfort zone" by listening to albums they otherwise wouldn't have, or just to have a good time.
I keep on coming back to this one. It encapsulates this specific psych-folk subgenre I've been trying to catalog pretty perfectly. Note the production--I think they nailed whatever specific, ambivalent vibe they were going for here (maybe in this subgenre at large). Pastoral, creepy, organic. 8/10

Is there any good Sun Ra that you think I haven't heard? Seeing the Arkestra tonight and want to get in the mood.
Bjork - Vespertine The Cardigans - Life Iceage - Plowing Into The Field Of Love Jenny Hval - Apocalypse, Girl Some of these may not exactly fit yr criteria but I dunno
had two really comfortable albums this time around, it was a ballshair to being a draw but ultimately Jimmy Jazz wins, listened to both multiple times
Richard Dawson - The Magic Bridge This is the perfect 4AM last cig in the pack kinda album to throw on, just as the sun is coming up y'kna mean? It strikes me just how good the lyricism is here, this is Joanna Newsom levels of clearly thought out imagery (not quite Only Skin, but you get the point...). So he doesn't have the greatest voice and struggles on the high notes a bit, but paired with that equally frail guitar it outstrips it's very apparent flaws and becomes just the loveliest thing, anything out of place and it wouldn't work at all
Svitlana Nianio - Kytytsi Something I will be revisiting in the future, kinda reminded me of that one Sybyll Baier album I listened to except every song is as good as the first track from that album (a similar thing could be said about Vashti Bunyan's Just Another Diamond Day, although I look very favourably on that album for some reason, even though the only thing I remember from it is the first track and that she pretty much ripped the melody straight from twinkle twinkle little star at one point... Maybe on repeat listens or the passage of time this album will head in a similar direction...hmmm... I digress) It's good
Well done both of you, heartily and sincerely

I know I'm just being a shithead. I'm reading Anatomy of Fascism right now that you rec'd someone who isn't me a little while ago, enjoying it so far. I'll join, gimme a couple minutes for a rec.
Yeah, Kytysti can be a bit overlong, but it's high points are really good.

yo Paxton is legit, although his argument is a little flawed because he claims to establish a "fascist minimum" (i.e an authoritative minimum requirements for a social movement to be considered "fascist") yet his methodology for analysis is based upon their development rather than their actual description. For instance, the last step Paxton points towards for fascist movements to take is Entropy or Radicalisation,yet he is only able to draw upon two, maybe three examples (being Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy and maybe Franco's Spain although it's a bit of a stretch) His overall ideas are sound, and the book is still a REALLY good introduction to academic study of Authoritarianism, but what he's arguing presumes a conclusion too hard
If you enjoy that book and want to read more (by proxy getting a semester of historical study ABSOLUTELY FREE), read Kershaw's Nazi Dictatorship, Arendt's Eichmann in Jerusalem and Browning's Ordinary Men

Lucas Cox
is that different to Nuh Skin Up because I've heard that
Asher Robinson
I'll make a note of those, thanks. I'm only on Chapter 2 so I can't comment on your critiques, but I guess any good essay has points that can be challenged. He does a good job laying out facts and events, so it's easy to formulate your own opinions on the evidence. I'll let you know what I think when I'm finished.

Also, finally listened to Zen Arcade. That is a fuckin loud album. Ton of really amazing songs, too. It's got that strange quality that makes you want to listen again.
Tentative 8/10 or something. Probably going to check out the rest of the Hüsker Dü discog before another listen
What was your favorite song on this? Pink Turns To Blue or Never Talking To You Again? :}

Portico Quartet - Knee-Deep in the North Sea (2007) >chamber jazz
Very pretty and pleasant jazz. The jazzy backings are a bit standard, despite boasting some wonderful drum work, but the hang drum is where it's at. It adds both a chill tropical vibe and a frenetic, pulsing minimalism edge with its repetition of melodies and phrases. Sometimes this repetition makes tracks seem a little bit pointless and never-ending, but the general sound is so pleasant and lovely that it never gets too irritating.

Hal Blaine - Psychedelic Percussion (1967) >psychedelic rock, experimental rock, free jazz, avant-garde jazz
It's really cool to hear a famously restrained drummer so absolutely nuts, but there's not a lot to grab onto here. It's cool sounds and drum solos and not much more. I'm impressed with how well the tracks are able to evoke images of the months they correspond with, but the music itself is kinda trivial, for lack of a better word, it focuses too much on the freak out that there's nothing to ground it. Still, a cool listen.
