Esquivel & His Orchestra - Other Worlds Other Sounds (1958)

This bands not that bad though

:beer:

Les Baxter - The Sacred Idol (1960)

I got 2 records today :)

1) Yes - First album (1969)
2) The Doors - First album (1967) - Mono

I guess this is more math rock though :laughing: Fuck it it's still good.

Nice! Glad to see I'm not the only fan of these guys on this forum. :)

They were both a bit of an acquired taste for me and I usually have to be in the right mood to get into their albums. When I'm in the right mood, though, they definitely hit the spot.

My 2-hour holiday-mix for a radio show starts and ends with Esquivel wishing us a space-age happy holiday.

Somehow it never occurred to me that Japanese Bossa Nova might be a thing...


Various Artists - Tokyo Bossa Nova Lounge

Lisa Ono!

Good stuff there. I'm a big Bubblemath fan!

Couple of recent acquisitions here. The former is one of Vangelis's early, more diverse sounding records. Has some groovy classic rock elements amidst his psychedelic experimentation. Silver on the other hand are like a more country version of the Eagles. Lots of great songs on both these albums. :)

N.E.R.D. - "No One Ever Really Dies" [2017]

https://is5-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/t.../600x600bf.jpg

Don't waste your time or money.

One of my favorite Vangelis 70s albums -
actually, I pretty much gave up on him
except for a couple LPs in the 80s.
The Cuneiform release is NYP here.

The Residents - 13th Anniversary Show - Live In The USA

Good to see this remastered and easier to get.
It's the Minneapolis show from the '86 tour of
which my wife and I both saw - but at different
venues. Twenty-nine tracks at 103 minutes.
Snakefinger!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rostasi, you been on the lam, collecting records as of late, or just posting your collection?

Actually, I'm right here - especially when wintertime rolls around.

I'm always listening to huge amounts of music nearly all day long -
just usually not as full albums. But, lately, I've been doing some
light cruising thru stuff that I'm adding to drives (good sized pile
of stuff on the floor next to me) and listening while working on
some other projects that I'm desperately trying to finish before
the new year. 2018 will be more LP-related stuff 'cause that's the
area that really needs sifting in order to make more room here.

Also, I'm making playlists based on who's gonna be at the
2018 Big Ears Festival this March - a kind of "primer" -
to get us ready here at home (and in the car) for the trip.

This weekend, the house will be filled with the continuous
sounds of this luscious 16-disc set, so that will be a big
chunk of continuous listening.

I CAN FEEL IT

https://e.snmc.io/lk/s/l/5c30f6cc015...57/6554150.jpg

Zola Jesus - Okovi

Good. Better than Conatus. Maybe not as good as Stridulum II?

https://e.snmc.io/lk/s/l/9e26435ec7a...2f/6557959.jpg

Kirin J. Callinan - Bravado

I get what he was going for on this. Overwrought, overproduced pop music with wry, ironic Jarvis-Cocker lyrics--I mean he's literally pissing on himself in the album artwork. LITERALLY taking the piss.

But.

It's just musically not my thing.

Alex Cameron - Forced Witness

Another ironic pop album. Kind of fun. Probably the most uses of the word "pussy" I've ever heard in a single sitting.

https://e.snmc.io/lk/s/l/3f4399766c9...74/6350802.jpg

Molly Burch - Please Be Mine

If Beach House wrote an indie-folk / alt-country album. Pleasant throughout, slightly dull, but still nice.

https://e.snmc.io/lk/s/l/d50a10960ce...69/6612617.jpg

Phoebe Bridgers - Stranger in the Alps

Been listening to this a lot. Beautiful singing and songwriting here, a bit like Kathleen Edwards, but without the country influences. Georgia is an amazing song. Pairs well with Brooke Waggoner's Sweven.

https://e.snmc.io/lk/s/l/3909fa933bb...94/6720279.jpg

Fever Ray - Plunge

Eh. Karin Dreijer's best work is with the Knife. Not into this at all. Isn't awful, but is still kind of a mess.

https://e.snmc.io/lk/s/l/95af33f186e...f4/6498504.jpg

EMA - Exile in the Outer Ring

Solid noise pop.

https://e.snmc.io/lk/s/l/07c3999b70a...9f/2312329.jpg

Amenra - Mass I: Prayer I-VI

The only thing this has going for it is that it's so short.

Maybe you should listen to an actual 2017 pop album and not an obnoxious attempt at pretending to be above the concept.

I was wondering about that Phoebe Bridgers album. Almost looks like the album cover for Greatest Hits of Islam, Volume One, doesn't it? Like Edwards, eh? May give that a shot then, Ped. Thanks. :)

You ever hear this? ^^^

Fak me is it a dumpster fire.

This looks fantastic.
Never heard that Merzbow tune.
Gotta get this for Christmas.

Good to revisit this again. Sounding as gloriously radiant and believe-it-or-not,
nuanced (and at such a young age) as it did about 25 years ago.
Nice Michel Camilo-like playing from the pianist. Thanks for the reminder.
