Albums You're Digging II

The Byrds - The Notorious Byrd Brothers (1968)

So I've been listening to a lot of The Byrds lately, and this is the latest I've picked up, their 5th. Each one has been fantastic but this one is really hitting the spot.

^I've heard that album at some point, but I don't have it. Anyway, from what I've heard my favorite is definitely Fifth Dimension. That's the only Byrds album I listen to from time to time actually. I have to renew my interest in them and see what I've missed.

Fifth Dimension is great too, no doubt, but I find it a little less consistent. Anyway I may like it more with time, I've only played it a handful of times.

BUT I would want it to remind me of somewhere warm and nice, because it always reminds me of a dark smoky lounge. Kind of in the same way that a good portion of Spanish music makes me think of a hot city with lots of sand. I don't like that. It's reasons like this that make my taste in music all kinds of screwed.

Are you looking for recommendations? There's all sorts of jazz out there, you just have to dig around a lot as certain moods aren't quite as popular. And i will give you the double bass lines and pianos often make me think of a dark, smoky, small bar or lounge as well.

i often like jazz which reminds me of the vast expanse of the desert - i think Miles Davis' Bitches Brew fit that category on most of the songs

Yeah I'll take some! I really like smooth stuff. I found this on accident, and really like it:

But you can give me whatever really!

I'm just excited to find something I like.

EDIT: While I'm in here, I've been listening to The Starlets again. After listening to Themilo for awhile, I kind of was in the mood for some more Dreampop.

Oh man, this is awesome. The only problem I have with it is that the first half has to grow on me a bit more, but it's still anawesome album.

Well I just spent a while writing up a post and accidentally deleted it and now I'm pissed. So check out Hypochristmutreefuz by Eric Dolphy, upbeat kind of smoothish in a way free jazz, and John Zorn's band Mandala which is sort of a jazzy experiment in Jewish music that is often really laid back kind of like the track you posted before.

In other news, I've been digging the hell out of Secede at work lately.

Born in a Tropical Swamp

Leraine (feat. Kettel)

I was thinking about them after that discussion about no drums and ambient music, and this is really one of the only albums I've found where that's alright at times. This is probably the chillest album I've ever heard myself, and it has no dull moments throughout. It reminds me a lot of Boards of Canada, but kind of better.

I know I'm double posting, I love this thread and it needs more activity from people.

Just found a leak of Timber Timbre's new album Creep on Creepin' On. Just what I wanted from the band. It's a little fuller than their self titled, but still holds onto the same simple haunted atmosphere as the first. In fact, if anything, it's spookier. Great album, check it out it's released in a week and a half.
