Cochin Moon by Haruomi Hosono (1978)

One precursor to Yellow Magic Orchestra. Treads the line between dated and novel - the third part of "Hotel Malabar", Roof Garden, somehow does this simultaneously (it is, however, likely my favorite part of this album). It is obviously influenced by traditional Indian music elements, but still has its own overall flavor even if it darts around a fair bit; "Hepatitis" wouldn't sound out of place on an old Nintendo game soundtrack (unsurprisingly, Hosono later created some early video game tunes) while the last track sounds very "Berlin". The experience is worth it for anyone who likes the whole 70s synth/electro sound.

Lightdreams - Islands In Space (1981)

Picked up this recently reissued cult album. Its pastoral space folk-rock with touches of ambient and acid rock humming around the edges. I think these guys were hitting the blunt pretty hard, most likely while jamming 'And You And I' by Yes on constant repeat....and I'm enjoying it quite a bit!

I can send you a link for Cochin Moon when I get home if you would like.

for me at the moment is this:

Disco Club by Black Devil Disco Club

the fascinating Parisian underground (both in popularity and creation) disco project, somehow coming up on its 40th birthday. There is something very unnerving about the atmosphere here. Something sinister lies here..

And thanks.

Think that was the show Bob attended. The acoustics are insane in the Disney Hall.

Screw this - no images this time. Favorites in red. Later albums need more time before becoming favorites (like Can, for example).

Wasn't a fan of the new DIIV record, but that Milo project is fantastic, one of the best surprises of last year for me.

Water Bearer by Sally Oldfield

What a nice way to start the morning. Just real quaint new-agey Irish folk. Leave your shoes and troubles at the door; you won't need them here.
