It's like finding a long lost 70's soundtrack for an Italian giallo. Except it isn't. It's 2010 and we still have fans out there loving that synth/bass sound.

Most people will hate it unless you love 70's synth soundtracks, which of course I do.

It's been a long wait but I finally got a chance to get it...

It's fandiddles. I listen to it quite a bit. After this I went backwards and got their older stuff. This is my favorite offering from them.

Yeah I definitely don't think it's bad, but this kind of music just doesn't click with me. I checked out Orange Twin Field Works: Volume I though, since I've always been into cultural music, and that's a pretty interesting listen.

David Candy - Play Power
Actually there's no such person as David Candy, This is Ian Svenonious of Nation of Ulysses/The Make Up/Weird War recording an album of 60s bubblegum pop under a pseudonym.

City Of Caterpillar - S/T
Aaaaaaaaaaages ago someone sent me their spilt with Pg.99 and I really liked it. So I figured I'd get their album.

And about 3 years later, after discovering I still had that split and hearing it again here it is.

Fuxa - Very Well Organised
Another band I heard through a split single that I felt intrigued enough to find an album by.
Theirs was with Stereolab.

Johnny Thunders - Que Sera, Sera
Supposedly this is Thunders comeback album from the mid 80s and word on the street is it's a hell of a lot better than people thought he was capable of back at that time.
We shall see.

^City Of Caterpillar were a great band....

16 - Drop Out...this is much better than their first album a great mixture of mean sludgy metal and Meantime era Helmet

P - Self-Titled....Johnny Depp playing guitar and Gibby Haynes on vocals...also a bunch of guests like Flea and Steve Jones....it's actually a great album....and a shame they only did this one release....their cover of ABBA's immortal 'Dancing Queen" is worth it alone

Goes Cube - Another Day Has Passed...this album is just weird....but really good...kind of like a mixture of Quicksand and Today Is The Day but without sounding like either....it's just a really solid rock album

Gorch Fock - Lying and Manipulating...just another piece of evidence proving that Austin texas is the noise rock capitol of the world....this album is all over the place...swirling psychedelic guitar, thundering sloppy bass, tribal drumming....and that trombone...oh god that trombone is good

Plows - I Hate My Car And Want To Drive....ignored but great band from Louisville, Kentucky...classic AmRep style rock.....well played and seriously good for a two piece

STATS - Crowned...progressive instrumental metal mixed with math rock and garnished with almost Shellac/Jesus Lizard guitar...complex and full....only three tracks

....but all three are amazing

Extremely excited.

Kinda Blue · 12-17-2010, 01:02 PM

I've listened to all of them quite a lot on Spotify already, couldn't wait for them to arrive in my mailbox, haha. :P My favorites out of these are One Nation Under A Groove and Marquee Moon.

Deerhunter - Halcyon Digest
Listening to it now. Yet again, Bradford Cox ain't let me down. Very nice and dreamy, and sounding like it could be as good as their last album. The most consistent new band I've encountered for a while.
