Harumi - Harumi
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xggbyDTWwUc 13 tracks sounds normal for a 1968 psychedelic pop album, right? That's what I thought. What I didn't realize is that this is in fact a double album. The last two tracks are 24 and 18 minutes long respectively, each occupying a full side of an LP, and consist of creepy Japanese spoken word (in English, but Japanese themed--the band's Japanese). I listened to it before going to bed and was so creeped out I couldn't sleep until three in the morning. |
Recent CD acquisitions:
http://www.sicmagazine.net/wp-conten....jpg-pwrt3.jpg Various Artists - Still in a Dream: A Story of Shoegaze 1988-1995 (2016) Props to Cherry Red Records for releasing this 5 disc compilation with a 40 page booklet consisting of photos and band biographies. There's quite a lot on this that I was already familiar with but there's so much rare stuff that I've never heard before. My Bloody Valentine (gasp!!), The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Mazzy Star, Stereolab and The Verve are unfortunately absent due to licensing issues. It also could have included Band of Susans, SIANspheric and Henry's Dress. But even without these bands this compilation is just too awesome. Spoiler for Track listing:
http://dark-world.ru/files/covers/27/2759.jpg Dead Can Dance - Spiritchaser (1996) There's a heavy African influence on this album and can be interestingly hypnotic at times. Not as good as other albums of theirs but enjoyable none the less. http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...eL._SX355_.jpg Talking Heads - Fear of Music (1979) http://cps-static.rovicorp.com/3/JPG...er=allrovi.com Talking Heads - More Songs About Buildings and Food (1978) Got these two for €2 each. More Songs About Buildings and Food is my favourite Talking Heads album, so it's nice to have a physical copy of it. https://www.ukmix.org/proxy.php?code...paWlpaWlouanBn The Duke Spirit - Cuts Across the Land (2005) A female-fronted indie rock/garage rock band that's been on my radar for a while but never given a proper listen. I quite enjoy this. Perhaps a couple of unmemorable tracks on it, but songs like 'Love Is An Unfamiliar Name' hit the spot nicely. http://www.iandury.co.uk/wp-content/...F-IAN-DURY.jpg Ian Dury - Reasons to Be Cheerful: The Best of Ian Dury (2005) I "found" this in the bottom of an old desk cabinet in work (I assumed that no-one wanted it...). This compilation covers his solo material and his various bands including The Blockheads. It's hit or miss, but when it hits you can't help but nod along. A welcome addition to my CD collection though. |

FFF—20.000 Hardcore Members Can't Be Wrong (2011) I'm pretty shocked that this kind of happy hardcore/breakcore/whatever was still being made as of 2011, but this is good shit—crazy high-energy stuff to get chores done to. |

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! |

for me at the moment is this: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped..._LP_cover.jpeg 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.. "do do do do; dooo do do do" |
^ want
And thanks. |

Ugh, here we go. Once again I waited too long since my last post and now I have a million albums to post here. Things I've downloaded, streamed, and otherwise listened to for the first time since my last post, in order, excluding vinyl purchases:

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. |

Soda - Without a Head [EP] (2016) Nice post-punk that doesn't seem to be trying to emulate a specific band or style like many others. Promising EP. http://rymimg.com/lk/f/l/591eea30ffd...52/5906739.jpg Sioux Falls - Rot Forever (2016) I mentioned this in the Albums You're Digging thread a few days ago so I'll just copy those thoughts here: I heard a song last Friday while shuffling my 2016 album queue and I liked it very much, reminding me of 1994 Built to Spill and Weezer. Can't go wrong with those things. The song was "Your Name's Not Ned". So over the weekend I decided to listen to the whole album. It's a lot more emo than I expected, emo in the 90s revival style (SDRE, Mineral, etc.) not the corporate emo of the early 2000s and beyond. It's a long album but it's one of the best I've heard in the style since the 90s. http://rymimg.com/lk/f/l/93e7a39db5f...a/5921431.jpeg Animal Collective - Painting With (2016) It seems like a lot of music publications were dogging on this one but luckily I found it enjoyable. Two plays so far - it's a fun and accessible album for them, but I don't see any fault in that. https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon....d0L._SS280.jpg Self Defense Family - Superior [EP] (2016) Prior to this, I'd only listened to last year's Heaven Is Earth. These 4 tracks are pretty subdued in comparison, but nice. https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon....3jL._SS280.jpg Charles Howl - Sir Vices (2015) Listening to this one now and I quite enjoy it. I'd heard a few songs already up to now and this morning decided it was time I give the whole album a listen. Indie/Psychedelic pop band from London. |

Arijit Singh Popular
I just bought popular singer Arijit Singh hits CD in market and thought to give a very good review on that music. Really I have lost myself in hearing those songs. Feeling like I am already in love with the songs to here as many time as I could.... Among them the following is the most frequently listening song and my favourite one

Charli XCX - Vroom Vroom [EP] (2016) Not listened to this yet, but apparently it's her step into the realm of Bubblegum bass, so obviously I am excited. I do like a fair bit of her music as it stands anyway. |
I wasn't sure if that was verified. Looked too tumblr. And I like Giorgio Moroder so I'll check it out.
(p.s. Trophy is a banger) |
^ This is the truth.
It's the best thing I have heard so far this year. |

Massive Attack - Ritual Spirit [EP] (2016) EP featuring tracks with Roots Manuva, Tricky & 3D, Young Fathers and Azekel. Promising stuff. |
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped..._Manifesto.jpg
Screeching Weasel - First World Manifesto Loving this at the moment. Does anyone know of any similar sounding stuff? I've torrented their discog. so will go through that. I had some other things to listen to but they sound more aggressive than this so I'm guessing this might be more like commercial sounding/Poppier Punk? I like it anyway. |
