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.

Any of you guys ever listen to La Vida Boheme? Middle album is one of my top 10 albums of all time. And the first one is somewhere in my top 50-100.

pls give full thoughts on Spiral Walls though. I love hearing people's thoughts on albums that exist in an entirely alternate universe from the rest of music.

Original Silence - The First Original Silence.
A great lineup performing noise-wank for an hour live. Jokes aside, all the musicians on this have some amazing albums, and all have noise tendencies, so it seems this was their chance to go hard on these tendencies together. Plenty of interesting textures and chaotic moments, many of which resembled passages in songs by Sonic Youth and Fire (not surprisingly). At times it reminded me of the more chaotic moments from Ground Zero's discography. That said, I can't say I really loved the concept. I love it when this chaos is used in the context of an amazing song, but in this case it was pretty tiring. 5

rym review below
>Boris - Flood
"Flood 2" is amazing (the album as a whole clicked during this song at 10:25ish). Someone compared it to a slowed down version of Fishman's "Daydream", one of my favorite tracks of all time, and the comparison is pretty accurate. I love the melancholic emotion of that track and this one. "Flood 3" was also pretty good, the grand droning guitars, especially towards the end, made me smile. However the 1st and 4th tracks were pretty boring honestly.
I really appreciate this album but I can't deny that, when listened to on it's own with your undivided attention, it can be a little slow. I think Flood is really good for creating atmospheres for situations/ moods/ settings you're in, but when you're just sitting at your computer listening to it while not doing much else, it can be a little too repetitive.
I would not be surprised if I enjoyed this more and more with further relistens (as of this review it's my 2nd time hearing it, the first time I gave it a 2/5). Drone albums like this usually require a lot of endurance, but when they click, they can be amazing.
3.5/5

Easton Mitchell
Whitney - Light Upon the Lake >Indie Rock
I wasn’t expecting to enjoy this as much as I did honestly. It’s cozy indie rock with a nostalgic 70s feel. Nothing incredibly original as a result but it’s very cozy and flows great from front to back. There’s a little jazzy, loungy feel all over this that I quite liked. I don’t know what else to say other than it was tight - I need to revisit this because I can see it growing on me.
3.5
Suga Free - Street Gospel >G-Funk, West Coast Hip-Hop
Dre gets all the fame and attention for inventing g-funk but DJ Quik (and Too $hort but that’s beside the point) started a very similar style at around time. The main difference is Dre’s beats tend to be low and heavy, with a tendency to draw in hardcore rappers. Quik’s beats are much lighter and suaver, with the bass sitting quieter (is that what it is?) in the mix. They sound like they should be crafted for a fly summertime pool party, with the samples giving the music a more sophisticated air. He produces this album in full and the beats kind of follow his typical pattern. He even manages to make chimes, flutes and cowbells sound amazing which is something I never expect.
Suga Free himself isn’t anything too special, Quik is the real star of the show, with those smooth beats. But I’ll say, Sugar Free is decently charismatic. His flow is less of the smooth Snoop/Warren G variety and more along the lines of west coast dudes like Spice 1 or MC Eiht (who ironically feuded with Quik). It’s scattered rather than concise, with his lines sounding a bit jarring at times. He still has a smooth side though.
So I can’t say I found myself paying attention to Free too much. He has this “heyheyI’mrappingsuperfassst!” Kinda thing he does on a few of the tracks and it’s semi obnoxious. Instead, I found myself pretty engrossed by Quik’s production which more than made up for Free.
Not great but it’s a prime example of LA hip-hop in the mid/late 90s.
whitne is my gfs fav made me go to once it wwas okay

Pretty grody, I try to avoid it unless I'm trying to get super fucked up and also hate myself at the same time.

Hello everyone, hope that you're having a good day today.
Davy Graham - Folk, Blues & Beyond... (1965) - The title describes the album perfectly. It is a unique blend of folk, acoustic blues and various other influences. It is said to have lots of influence on British folk and blues scene back then. He was an influence for many folk guitarists such as Bert Jansch or John Renbourn. Nearly all songs on this album are shorter than 3 minutes and I would say that it is the perfect lenghth. His guitar playing is really great, and his voice is nice too. 3.5
Robbie Basho - Zarthus (1974) - Another beautiful album of his. Full of eastern influences again, but the last track, nearly 20 minutes piano piece is really the best thing on it. Robbie Basho is probably my favourite out of all American Primitivists, there’s just something mystical about his music, it’s so full of soul, and moreover, I just really like his music as a concept, combining traditional music from different places with american folk music, and making it his own music, and I’m interested in all those places and music from them that he was. When I was listening to that last track, sun suddenly stopped hiding behind the clouds and started shining. I really recommend this one, especially for people who like american primitivsm, or folk music in general. 4.0
Hunter Sanders
How many times do you listen to an album before rating it? How much about theory do you know? I suspect I need to, at least, learn a bit more about music theory to enjoy even better some genres I'm not familiar with. Also do you listen to the album while doing another shit? I'm going to schedule my listening to the end of the day so I do all my work during daytime without any music then exclusively listen to an album in the end of the night. I feel that sometimes when I try something new my ears are already tired from day long background familiar music then it makes the new album sounds not that good.

"modern classical" != "modern classical"

That's a lot of folk The mississippi john hurt album is really good. Also Rodriquez has some top tunes

I guess not, I think I had the impression it would be modern classical beforehand for some reason. Definitely has some modern classical influences though

The Marshmallow Kisses - I Wonder Why My Favorite Boy Leaves Me an EP [2004]
Amazing moody 12 minutes ep. Songwriting is top notch and I recommend it to literally anyone who isn't afraid of their music being cute.

I listen to most albums just once, there's too much of good music to spend lots of time just with one album, although sometimes I relisten some of them. I usually listen to music while browsing the internet or drawing, sometimes I listen to it while walking but I don't do that very often, I prefer to walk without music. I don't think that you need to know music theory that much, although I'm sure that it would help with understanding the music, I think that you rather should just listen to lots of different music, different genres, different countries and so on. I guess that it is a bit like with painting, you don't need to know colour theory and history of painting to know that you like a painting, but it helps with understanding it, and sometimes enjoying it a bit more.
Ryder Barnes
No doubt, what I meant is that "modern classical" is a really wide term for all kinds of contemporary music, from stuff indulged in the past through various breakthroughs to unlistenable wank So if you're interested do some research before deciding on what to pick up next, having a proper context for developments really helps judge what is worth your time and what you might want to look for elsewhere if you know what I mean
Dominic Davis
kek, for some reason I really enjoy making things complicated.
This idea about theory comes from my experience in college. In the first years you say "cut this theory bullshit and lets just do practical or applied projects" then as time goes and you dedicate your time to really learn the theory then you start seeing the point in learning that and all the beauty.
Juan Jones
Listening to whitney right now. Probably I'm gonna enjoy since I listen to Fleetfoxes once or twice a week.
>there's too much of good music to spend lots of time just with one album there's too much time and effort put into any one album to just listen to them once
