I am one of these many and I support this recommendation.

to RVCA:

Editors - An end has a start

IMHO still their best album so far. The first one was good, but a bit patchy. The new one is a brave attempt at breaking out from the Joy Division comparison (by channelling Depeche Mode!), but it left me mostly cold, so I can't really recommend it. This however, is pretty wonderful. Perfect music for rainy days, or for when you wish it was a rainy day.



to Unchained Ballad:

The Divine Comedy - Fin de siecle

Irish chamber pop. No, seriously...a masterpiece of witty, beautiful, cheery and melancholic classic English pop music.



to Alfred:

Cop Shoot Cop - Release

Think the intensity of Big Black, but with a sound that really bass heavy (when they started out, they had two bass and no guitars), a singer whose voice sounds like Leonard Cohen's after an all night fight in a sandpaper factory, and some of the best lyrics ever.

Sounds like a lot of fun! Thanks.

Thanks Turquoise Days for this album. Gotta say, your description of this album was spot on. Also, I totally dug it, it was a consistently enjoyable listen from the first track to the thirteenth. Really awesome sound these guys had. What really stood out to me was the vocalist, I loved his pitch, his snarl, and his lyrics.

oops, double post

3 piece post-hardcore/math rock/experimental/noise type outfit from the beautiful pacific northwest....this was their final album released in 2001....and i think by many is considered an essential classic....i would agree

enjoy

Awesome, thanks. I don't have any math rock, but various tidbits I've heard have always been pretty interesting. Looking forward to.

thanks for the recommendation there bob! I look forward to this

Labradford - A Stable Reference (1995)

Post-rock, ambient, cosmic, drone. I just have a hunch you might be able to appreciate it and enjoy it.

I'm about to start listening to the album you sent me. I'll write tomorrow about how it went.

For Dayvan Cowboy:

It's nicely schizophrenic that you enjoy but with a Ska slant. I will be intrigued what you think of this.

[DoctorSoft]

Dayvan sent me this:


Eh, I wasn't that big on this album. Most of it bored me to tears, to be honest. I did kind of like some of the songs in the second half of the album, but the first 10 literally did nothing for me. I'll give it a nother listen or two before I completely write it off, but I can't see this being something I'll really get into. 3/10

..ay yo, get my sonic youth comp listened to. Or else.
