Lyrically devastating and raw. Musically kind of bland but it really doesn't matter when the lyrics and story behind the album is so powerful.

Oh man, I'm so the opposite. Music is absolutely critical or I'd rather go read a book instead.

Same. Although I think that album is special in terms of raw emotional content even if the music is really uninteresting.

Was very bored with it. Condolences to the guy, but I don't know him, and I don't want to listen to 40 minutes or whatever of him crying about his life while accompanied by an acoustic guitar.

I align with this.

I've been listening to Rumours by Fleetwood Mac a lot lately. I always used to prefer their blues stuff from the late 60s with Peter Green more than anything, but lately it's been this. I just like the way their albums with Buckingham and Nicks sound with a good stereo system, even though this is one of those bands that classic rock radio really played the hell out of when I was growing up and that's what my parents were listening to. Maybe that's why it's taken so long to really get into these albums again, but I'm starting to like them (and even the stuff from the 80s).

Tuluum Shimmering - Linus and Lucy

Seventy-five minutes plus of that “Linus and Lucy” in process-music form as
cyclo-navigational atmospherics. Another special cover version from Jake Webster
of North Wales who brilliantly takes this over-exposed Peanuts theme and adds an
upfront soft seed-pod pulse reminiscent of the shaker rhythm that you hear at the
beginning of Steve Reich’s “Four Organs.” It continues thru a surprising sweep of
musical touchstones without feeling in any way forced. It’s almost “natural” but
somehow astronavigational to hear it develop from a fade-in of an almost
Tinker Bell-with-maracas-and-celeste to the cRaZy ghost of “Rainbow In Curved Air”
that forms almost exactly in the middle of the piece - then morphing into, first,
Lonnie Liston Smith/Stanley Cowell 70s spiritual jazz curls and then, second,
a clear “Dark Star” saturated jam just before the piece ends as various pied pipers
ripple into the ethers. Zeitkratzer should give us a more professional recording.

Have you heard Tusk? Lots of filler, but there are some incredible songs on that album.

Bérangère Maximin - Frozen Refrains

She just keeps getting better - and her fifth album continues her acousmatic sound
manipulations that lie within a range of overlapping INA-GRM/Henry complexity and
an almost Ferrari or Enoesque love of organic sound. There’s usually some kind of
“ground” - a regular, soft rhythm or a drone - that keeps you focused on the beautiful
darkness of a crystalliferous deep space yaw that only she’s able to audibly manoeuvre.
