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.
Haven't posted here in 2 months. What's everyone been listening to?
Alexander Moore
my taste is pretty bland atm honestly
Kinda surprised Big Black isn't on mine too though, prob because i listen to the CD most of the time
Jeremiah Gonzalez

Robbie Basho - Visions of the Country Gang of Four - Entertainment! The Jesus and Mary Chain - Psychocandy The Stooges - Fun House Townes van Zandt - S/T or Live at the Old Quarter, prob go for the Live one if you can be bothered listening to a double LP Spacemen 3 - The Perfect Prescription The Velvet Underground & Nico Neil Young - On The Beach

Colton Jones
Since i just got into The Byrds, Jefferson Airplane, and CCR recently, what are some other quintessential 60s bands or albums I've probably been sleeping on?
Michael Jenkins
United States of America, dude Asylum Choir The Index all Nuggets bands
Oh boy. In a similar vein, a lot of this carries over into early 70s...
-Grateful Dead, first and foremost. I have an endless supply of live recs... -Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and offshoots -More summer of love Haight-Ashbury projects (like Electric Music for the Mind and Body by Country Joe & The Fish, Happy Trails by Quicksilver Messenger Service, Cheap Thrills by Big Brother & Holding Company) -Bobby Charles - s/t -The Band/The Last Waltz -Donovan -Jackson Browne -Little Feat
Liam Martinez
Already heard USA (decent), Index (fuckin great, though the magic has been slightly damaged by some of their best songs are 'just' byrds covers) Been adding the rest of the Nuggets bands I've not listened to too. Dunno why I've not listened to some of these bands before though with how much i love psych and garage.
Asylum Choir sounds good, got any other recs? Feel motivated to listen to a lot of new music for once.
progressive bluegrass lmao, will check it out
sukiyaki is really nice as well. has it been in a movie, sure I've heard it somewhere before
Hunter Davis
>Foetus - Flow >Industrial Rock + Swing I knew I was in for something weird, after the contrast between the first and second tracks. The swingy tracks pair with emotive vocals ala Clarence Clarity, but much clearer. Whether he's on a jaunt of constant mishaps under the Grace of God, glowering alongside the climax mystery movie on Suspect, or simply wailing to hard rock, this album is almost a surreal trip. Never dulled out during its listening, which is a start for older industrial.
7/10
>Damien Dubrovik - Vegas Fountain >Death Industrial, Noise, Ambient Lets up on the noise in the B-Side, where it's more Dark Ambient. Not many thoughts on this, but not bad. Great Many Arrows felt like the more powerful sequel.
6/10
>Fuck Buttons - Tarot Sport >Psychedelic Noise Techno There isn't any other group that I found quite as appealing as Fuck Buttons, when it comes to thick, roaring techno. Paired with their knack at editing vocal samples into competent hooks and bubbly synth backdrops, it's like listening to a Punished Dan Deacon. It's probably their melodies that make them much more accessible, which also justifies their track lengths-- even when their playfulness is a step away from the righteous anger.
8/10

Eli Anderson
I quite enjoyed it, but I find repetition to be relaxing. I just didn't like the song that was just street fighter spam.
Eli Diaz
Forgot to ask, how's the portishead album? It's been on my backlog for like 5 years now.
Eli Martinez
it's fucking GREAT thats how it is
way different from their earlier stuff though, so don't expect Dummy 2
John Cooper
I've actually never listened to them before; just heard the song "small" and really enjoyed it so I figured I would give them a listen.
Kayden Nelson
If you enjoyed "Small" you'll probably enjoy the album! It's one of my all-time favorites but took a while to get into. Try it out and you'll probably find some tracks you like on it, then listen to it a couple more times if it doesn't click at first!
And yeah I agree with , it was kinda ok, nothing I'd relisten probably but the hate for that album is very undeserved in my opinions
Logan Martinez
ask for thoughts
also, what release should I listen to next?

>dead letters spell dead words - fall, fall, falling so dead dead letters spell dedededead words does a hot new thing i've never heard before: noisy ambient! never thought of that one before huh.... but sometimes out of nowhere a band comes in and it's like post-rock jam band with a hiss in the foreground. good stuff though.

>Various Artists - What Else Do You Do? (A Compilation of Quiet Music) (1990)
I can't figure out the theme here. "Quiet music" isn't accurate of course, because this is supposedly compiled by John Zorn and features some quite loud and abrasive tracks. "Outsider music" is closer but still not entirely descriptive because the weirdest part is how sweet and normal some of these pop songs are next to the less conventional, competent, etc. Daniel Johnston-style songs. And then there's also the third type of song here--modern compositions from Catherine Jauniaux and the like. Really, the theme might be an aesthetically delicious showcase of production. For a bunch of then-obscure musicians, the production choices are bafflingly phenomenal. Who knew something like this would be en vogue specifically 27 years later.
Naturally, some songs are more listenable than others. I'm admittedly at a place in my life where I prefer to listen to musicians that can play their instruments well and have an apparent knowledge of how to structure songs, so some simpler, more competent neo-psychedelia-leaning tracks like "Dual Control" or "The Invisible People" are more interesting to me. 6.5/10

$3.33 - Draft >modern classical, post-minimalism
I can definitely say that I’ve never heard piano being played THAT fast before. The flurry of notes that this thing unleashes on the listener from the first seconds is disorienting at first, but eventually leads to some nice ambient textures and moments of IDM-like production hell. However, the sound is fairly one-note (except its a lot of different notes haha) and so the whole album sorta blurs together into one long piece with some good moments.
If the name of the album is to be taken literally and this is a draft for some more fleshed out compositions, I’d love to hear the final product because this is a really unique sound and I think it could be amazing if it had a little more focus.
3.5-

would recommend more from 3.33. heard two albums. she's no one trick pony. check out "I need some good rap music for my car.?" when you can. also do loose fur.
Angel Morales
It is a surprisingly competent album. I was expecting a half-baked set of demo tapes, but what I got was a collection of songs that felt complete. The album's biggest strength is it's developed instrumentation. The techniques used to create the album's atmosphere felt organic.
My biggest pitfall with this album is with it's core ideas. There are some decent songwriting here and there, but Jordaan failed to keep the album's longer runtime fresh. I would even go as far as to say that the various instrumental interludes are completely expendable.
Oliver Hernandez
It's true, that should be the second subtitle
David Walker
I love Unjust Malaise
It's the most oppressive and theatrically dark modern classical album I've ever listened to. I especially adore the piano series, as Eastman's additive theory gives the monolithic pieces a lively, evolutionary feel to them.
I will check out Feminine next.
Thomas Long
You should listen to Lubomyr Melnyk - KMH (I prefer the remastered version)
James Torres
Agreed. I love it. Perfect exercise in close listening, the cycles of emotion "Stay On It" can go through with just one simple loop. Gets the essence of minimalism.

Yarn - Self Titled and Bepбнa нeдiля
Bepбнa нeдiля has a nice atmosphere but the self titled album takes that atmosphere, improves on it, and is much more catchy at the same time too. its a lot more warm and dense and full sounding than Bepбнa нeдiля and it impacts me more strongly. there's not much here to grab onto in Bepбнa нeдiля, which probably isn't a fault of the music, but just a personal preference of mine. chalk it up to me gradually regressing(?) from listening to a large amount of unmelodic stuff back into preferring catchier melodies these days. i think they were just going for something else.
self titled 7/10 very nice definitely will be listening more Bepбнa нeдiля 5/10 not bad

Янкa - Пpoдaнo! (1989) >singer/songwriter
The grimy noise rock sound of Aнгeдoния is really special, and this definitely lacks that, but the songwriting still thoroughly shines. Sound stagnates a bit more here, everything consisting simply of Yanka and her guitar (plus Letov on a track or two), yet she still manages to give the album a distinctly unique sonic pallette with her intriguing, powerful vocals and her varied slate of influences. New musical obsession, easily.
3.0+
Aphex Twin - drukqs (2001) >IDM
James' forays into impressionism are really damn impressive. "Avril 14th" is the obvious highlight, and it's a beautiful pieces, but this whole album has a wealth of beautiful, singular impressionism pieces that take the piano to new, weird places. The IDM is a bit under what should be expected of James. "Mt Saint Michel + Saint Michaels Mount" is easily one of his best tracks, sure, and it's much more organic and natural-sounding than his other works, but that's where it loses me, it lacks the unique, robotic nature of his best records. Certainly worth a listen for any Aphex fans, but it's definitely not his best work.
3.0-
Henry Nguyen
Kendrick Lamar - Section.80 (2011) >west coast hip hop, conscious hip hop
Kendrick comes out of the gate with all cylinders firing. Even on his debut, his rapping skills are still unparalleled. He uses the goofy voices less than he does on his later works, which is a plus, and he's got such a youthful energy to him that's really contagious. That triplet flow towards the end of "HiiiPoWeR" has got to be one of his crowning moments. The production never quite matches up with him, though. There are shades of the jazzy sound he would later perfect on To Pimp a Butterfly, and they're done incredibly well, but they have to compete for time with a pretty lame, poppy R&B-type sound that does nothing to compliment Lamar's talents, all while being uninteresting taken alone. Despite it's flaws, it's a very solid album.

btw someone sent me some supposed early fishmans live recordings. One from 1988 and one from 1991. No clue where he got it from but it's very possible that the former is one of the earliest recordings of the band but I have no way of knowing atm. The earlier recording is sorta iffy quality and 100% material I'm not familiar with. The latter is early-era Fishmans I know (minus the song at 17 minutes in) and the recording is even worse:
In the 1988 recording ite singer sounds /kinda/ like Shinji at parts + he refers to them as Fishmans at the end but I'm not 100% sure. Also it is their earlier stuff so it's possible Kin-Ichi or Ojima are singing on a few tracks. Definitely sounds more like their earlier dub-y sound but with some funk + cowpunk influence and in a way is more heavy + active than their earlier material. Certainly more interesting than most of Chappie and at times reminds me of King Master George. Early recording is a high rec but the 1991 version is a hard pass.
Daniel Ramirez
For Marissa Nadler fans mostly but I'm sure lots will enjoy it. Has some nice jazzy fills here and there

For a while there I would search "1968 full album" on YouTube, usually gave some cool stuff. Grapefruit, Gun, Five Day Week Straw People, Gandalf, Fear Itself, etc etc etc

Xander Harris - Cry Havoc / Heathen Birth Was not memorable to me whatsoever. Not to mention, it isn't made very good. The artist might be a decent synth player, but judging from this single, his composition skills are rather weak. The transitions are sloppy, there's too much sounds which don't go very well with each other and the suspense is built rather poorly. However, when he sticks to the gradual pace and more calm and gloomy mood it doesn't sound so bad ("Cry Havoc"), but it gets pretty boring after a while. I suppose the artist should have solved this problem in some other way rather than adding poor "cheerful" synths ("Heathen Birth"), like maybe adding vocals or building up suspense with different instruments (like in Clark's "Herzog" there are kinda similar synths in the beginning). So I would say while his darker bits have potential, the disco part should go right in the trash in my opinion.
The Wytches - Wire Frame Mattress It has everything to be a promising single - an unusual yet very fitting composition, emotional and powerful instruments and some really bold vocals. I like how it's mostly intense and devastated, yet not entirely. There were some things I wasn't that impressed with though - for me the drums were too inferior and insignificant. The music itself, while is definitely catchy, kinda reminds of something that already happened and some parts doesn't sound very original.
[1/2]
Michael Reed
Jesu - Lifeline I guess "Storm Comin' On" with Jarboe's vocals is supposed to be like controversial or something, but I simply did not like it. For me the vocals were shallow, not to mention how repetitive it gets and if in the beginning it's just kinda weak, it gets downright weird in the end with guitars and such. The s/t track and "You Wear Their Masks" bear the same recipe, yet it works for me - chill mellow music with clear yet aloof Broadrick's vocals on the background and some kinda heavy dissonant sounds (a rather familiar shoegaze element) so as to not make songs sound too sweet. Unfortunately, "End Of The Road" loses this balanced dissonance leaving just the weight of the guitars and along with the "megaphone" vocals it really does sound cheap as hell.

Good-day /daily/. Tried the following albums as of recent;
>Skyforger - Zobena Dziesma. This is an interesting pagan metal album that largely circulates around low-pitched chanting and folk-styled instrumentals, the metal aspect is surprisingly tame though adds a nice degree of edge to keep the album thrilling in some respects. >Skyforger - Senprusija. The overall progression in tempo and structure seemed more linear compared with Zobena Dziesma though it was still a great record, had far more of a emphasis on the rugged, sludge-slated guitar melodies than it did the folk aspect which I wasn't overly keen though was still ultimately impressive.
Really, its approximately 20 degrees Celsius here presently and within the room around 70% relative humidity, rather comfortable. I hope that you are wrapping up warm then for the rest of the day to ensure that you do not catch a cold and as to quote John Steinbeck "What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness.". Enjoy the peripheries of your day user and the months shall look after themselves, all the best!
How interesting user.

>Cassy - Panorama Bar 01 I guess Berghain techno is just far better than Berghain house. The mixing here is top class and there's some nice tracks here or there but ultimately this mix just falls short. I've never been too huge on 'tech-house' as a genre and this hasn't really changed my mind on that at all. The Shackleton opener is great and sets the tone nicely but it fails to keep me interested throughout the middle. 2.5
>Prince of Denmark I love everything I've heard this guy do. This one isn't as good as his This is Not mix under DJ Metatron but it's still fantastic. The tracks are minimal and the subtle mixing make this release almost hypnotic. I think all of this is made up of original material some of which are on his LP from last year and this mix is making me excited to check that out. 4

I also need to update you in my journey in transgod's core, there are some surprises there.
I expected to like more "Y" Need to relisten pretty sure.
I want to hear my teenage dream ended, it's any good?
Industrial Rock + Swing?? I need that album in my life!!!
The sheena ringo album is higher to me.
The patty water sings... idk, the last track is a complete beast, i love it, but i still don't get the rest of the it.
Have you heard King Tears Bat Trip? Can you describe it for me? please!!
Brandon Green
>Can you describe it for me? please!!
It's very very good. Constant, almost ritualistic afrobeat rhythms act as a heartbeat for the music while some really incredible sax work does everything from blues-spiritual themes to really avant-sounding squeals and screams. It's very exciting and driving on a visceral level which is sometimes a rare quality in experimental jazz.
