I'm listening to the Morbid Angel back catalogue in the car this week, which might be of interest to the progressive death metal-centric of you. They're a band I could always objectively tell were great, but never quite clicked with me on an emotional level. They're releasing album 9 soon, so it's maybe time to give them another burl...
As it is album 9 will reasonably prominently feature their side-interest in pounding dutch techno, which as you can imagine has the traditional fans in paroxysm of fear and outrage! We'll see how that goes...
@texture, you have !!!'s self-titled on vinyl? jealous.
i just found out Jaga Jazzist is finally touring the Americas this summer, which means i'll have to entirely rewrite my job plans just to see them... so yeah, been listening to their back catalogue, a bit. also i bought a t-shirt, which was outrageously expensive. (and a Smalltown Supersound t-shirt as well, because why not?) they post these great little videos on their website when they announce tour dates: so cute.
Nice selections. Been listening to a random mix lately as I hunt for work like a thief in the night...
Still liking BaBopByeYa - Janelle Monae. Some great tunes but The ArchAndroid was a bit flawed. This is wonderfully epic though:
Yma Sumac for barmy four octave erotica:
Still loving Bruce Haack. Pioneering mofo. This was for a children's music album. The track 'army ants' is also genius.
Not into that much choir music but Thomas Tallis with Spem in Alium is quite amazing. 'The motet is laid out for eight choirs of five voices' (wiki). A 40 part motet and is not performed often. Yet to see it live.
Isn't music just the most incredible joy. Best go, am coming over all Vile Hugging Thread.
@joe.distort - I believe Combichrist has already done a dancefloor remix of one of the tracks due on the new album. That, however, will mean much more to you than it does me!
It's Friday, I'm mildly hungover, sun's out and work can't finish soon enough. Currently ploughing through Ollie Teeba's 7 part mix covering classic hip-hop from 91 http://www.mixcloud.com/ollieteeba/
The new Feelies album, "Here Before" - on Spotify, as my local record store doesn't have it yet. http://www.thefeeliesweb.com/ First Feelies album in 20 years, and in the first song some of the lyrics go: "Is it too soon? Should we wait another ten?"
