Great choice, I love that album's replay value.

My album would be Lowercase's 'The Going Away Present'.

I'll be dangerous and say this feels like a blend of Slint and American Football. The darkness of Slint, but with less math rock elements and more of an emotional approach that American Football had. Either way, fantastic album.

this is from their first album , 1978. I literally caked when i first heard this, it accounts for most of what is worth living for: LEFTFIELD POP. In fact the caking never stopped tbh, thus sharidge. *reaches for battenburg*

Jaga Jazzist with The Thing - One-Armed Bandit

I was sold on this album once I saw the tags for it: experimental, progressive rock, post rock, nu jazz, rock, and jazz. I didn't think it was possible to combine all of those sounds successfully but thankfully I was mistaken. A great album and a great introduction to Jaga Jazzist.

I'm definitely going to have to check out their older albums now.

Turning Dragon? Indeed...I played it over the weekend while jogging. And walking. Glad you like the stuff.

i know right?

this completely passed me by - a new Fall single from November. It would seem that they are versions that won't be appearing on the new album (due April) as this is a limited ed. tour thing.
As for the music, same as ever, with a few subtle differences for the inside-out fans that are listening.
-'Slippy Floor (Mark Mix)' takes the endlessly-repeated riff formula from the last 2-3 albums and er, repeats it. It's a great riff though. The Mark mix refers to the low quality tape outro, presumably, great
-'Hot Cake (Part 2)' is rockabilly and sounds ironically exactly like the Pavement song 'Western Homes'
-There's also a poorly-recorded, extended repetitive live version of the Groundogs' classic 'Strangetown'. I love the original song and the Fall's version on 'Imperial Wax Solvent', plus I am hitting the bootlegs hard lately, so this seems like a quality, krautrock-y version to me (complete with some conspicuous synth-wobbling from MES' wife for once).
