Ah didn't realise that! Yeah that's cool, soz.

Are you taking recs at the moment? If so then my choice is...

*Shels - Plains of the Purple Buffalo (post-rock, amospheric sludge, just really beautiful stuff)

And if that has already been picked then...

2 8 1 4 - 新しい日の誕生 (ambient, soundscape, vaporwave)

Yes, see the OP graphic.
That first one is ok (thank god: imagine looking for those symbols on Spotify!)

Title: A Love Supreme
Artiste: John Coltrane
Genre: Jazz
Familiarity: Zero; obviously I know he's a jazz giant, but I'm not a fan of jazz (quelle surprise!)

1. A love supreme, part 1 --- Acknowledgement: Obviously I can see where Clarence Clemmons got his inspiration, as this opening sounds very much like something the E Street Band might do. Great piano, and the horn doesn't annoy me as it usually does. Yet. OH, here come some vocals. Well, the title basically repeated. Not sure that was necessary; doesn't add anything to the track.
2. A love supreme, part II --- Resolution: Kind of flowed in from track one without me realising it. It's fine but like most jazz I'm just pretty bored with it. Probably unlikely ever to change. I know this is supposed to be his greatest ever album and I can see why. It just doesn't move me.
3. A love supreme, part III --- Pursuance: Oh no! A drum solo! This could really finish me off! This track is ten minutes long! Say the solo doesn't run for the whole thing.... No, there's the piano and sax coming back in now, thank god. Only two minutes in. Nice piano runs. Horn is beginning to get on my nerves now. Okay, nice bass solo in about the eighth minute. Pretty sweet. Goes right to the end of the track.
4. A love supreme, part IV--- Psalm: Nice rolling drums, kind of cinematic, and the sax is more laidback and relaxed, some lovely cymbals whispering. That was probably the best track on it. Quite enjoyed that.

End result: I'm certainly not going to trash such a loved album, and I know sod-all about jazz anyway, but this is kind of the reason it never resonates with me. Mostly it just seems to go on in pretty much the same vein. I'm sure it doesn't, and is all very technically well played and composed, but it just as ever leaves me disinterested and cold. I just can't get excited about this the way a lot of people do, and it was a relief when it was over.

So, Love or Hate? So all I can do is shrug and give it a very cautious Like. Sorry.

Title: Remission
Artiste: Skinny Puppy
Genre: Industrial
Familiarity: Zero

1. Smothered hope: I don't know much about industrial music, so this could go either way. Nice kind of boppy, electronic opening. Vocals are maybe synthesised, through a vocoder? Very eighties new wave thing about the synths. Dark but not cold. Vocal's a bit manic.
2. Glass houses: I say very eighties, and then notice it was released in 1984! But it's very representative of a lot of the more experimental electronic music that was happening then that I looked down my nose at. This is not bad, though to be fair I don't see anything that terribly different about it from all the other new wave bands that were clogging up my metal airwaves at the time...
3. Incision: This sounds very Bone Machine, so I wonder if Waits is/was a Skinny Puppy fan? The taped voices at the end don't do anything for me though.
4. Far too frail: This sounds very OMD, or Echo and the Bunnymen, or something I've heard anyway. Bops along nicely. Human League, that's it: “Sound of the crowd”.
5. Film: Meh, interesting but relying a little too much on the taped effects. Tune was okay.
6. Manwhole: Same complaint really. Good rhythm set up later.
7. Icebreaker: I can certainly hear the industrial here. Not sure I really like it that much though.
8. Solvent: Has a nice kind of boppy beat to it which sort of belies the snarly vocal. Good synthwork.
9. Sleeping beast: Faster, with some effects. Otherwise not terribly interesting really. Far too long for what it is.
10. Glass out: Yeah it's all right but it's just not grabbing me really.
11. Brap...: And a short one to end. And we're out.

End result: Really not the kind of thing I'd listen to out of preference. Not the worst I've ever heard certainly, and I'm sure these guys are great for what they do, but just not my sort of thing at all.

So, Love or Hate? Have to be a Meh really.
