Albums You're Digging II

Jorge Ben and Gilberto Gil - Gil e Jorge

I was listening to Seu Jorge again and thought surely they had to be more great samba-esque Brazilian music out there. Eventually, I ran across this...this is really damn good stuff. Hypnotic and cheery all at the same time...I can't wait to see what these guys have done individually.

I'm finally giving Mojave 3's Ask Me Tomorrow the time of day.

Ask Me Tomorrow is a really great album. It's so mellow and beautiful and they really reinvented themselves well after Slowdive. 'Love Songs On The Radio' and 'Tomorrow's Taken' are the standout songs for me.

Cardiacs - On Land and in the Sea

Such a spastic album. My favourite of 1989 so far. As much as it sounds like a post-punk carnival, it's never short on brilliant melodies.

It sounds so meticulously crafted, like every note was painstakingly doted on in a way that so few other bands could replicate... sdhfkghngngg

It's also my favourite Opeth album.

Hell. Yes.

Brilliant band.

Windy & Carl - Depths

My taste over the past few months has consisted heavily of psychedelic/drone material, and this is probably the album that has hit me the hardest. It's incredible, especially when lying on your bed with a pair of good headphones. The layered textures and wavering tones all intermingle seamlessly, washing over the listener to leave them feeling mentally cleansed.

Yuh, the more I like an album, the more wanky my description of it is, so you can probably tell I'm quite enamoured with this at the moment.

Moar electro!:

Underworld - Second Toughest in the Infants (1996)

Up to this point it's been a bit difficult for me to develop an appreciation for English big beat music because the rhythms stagnate & sound forced after a while, so albums become an exercise to listen through. This album did neither -- it more closely resembles the multilayered approach that Leftfield leaves me hungering for.

It also doesn't hurt that two tracks off the album made it into Trainspotting.
