Infernal Machine: Despite the title of this new New Keepers Of The Water Towers album, which had me hoping for something a bit in the Hawkwind-Motorhead line ov space-rock, it's a bit slow and distant, pretty formations floating by, despite the "just wait for it" signals of drums---like the drums, like all of it really, except seems---hate to say "less than the sum of its parts," and faster-than-light is a lot to ask, but just pretend you found a wormhole, guys: gimme that old tyme science fiction, and get on with it. No, better listen some more before signing off for good.
Good Grief, by Lucius, is almost the opposite: despite/including emphasis on voices, as structurally ingenious as, say, St. Vincent, but without the carefully distanced distress signals and games of clues: it's an emotional onslaught, maybe ultimately implosive, while wailing though the castle, incl. towers and dungeons, that Love built: hey babes, you wanted a Relationship, this relationship, you got it. Mind you, they can also come up with a hooky chorus, catchy verses, and I expect to hear some of this on the radio---"The college radio," Butthead specifies, and he's right of course.
Not to be listened to if you're already feeling unsettled, unless you wanna get more unsettled of course:

Had to take a break before the rest of that, but speaking of St. Vincent, "Born Again Teen" is like her x Motown: ah, those youthful mood swings, maybe especially on acid. But/and the mirror sisters of Lucious eventually rock their way to higher ground, for another smoke break anyway: "It's all a manual that we've been writing, a future instructional guide / if we skipped ahead to our pre-fulfilled dreams, we'd be lost without our own advice." Ha, good one.

Lambert, Hendricks and Ross 1st disc of a 2cd compi of several lps which I bought a few years back. Think it got mislaid somewhere so I refound it recently and am playing regularly for first time in ages.
Vocalese I think. Satirical lyrics sung to fit horn solos. Interesting.

Clear Light new reissue of 67lp by psych group signed to Elektra. Their fate was messed up by poor relationship with Paul Rothschild.
Lp is pretty dark and doomy for 67 psych.

Jordan De La Sierra ‎– Gymnosphere: Song Of The Rose

peaceful, reflective, repetitive, equal temperament piano

ash ra tempel - le berceau de crystal (wish gottsching did more stuff like this, it's more on a roedelius or even popol vuh kind of vibe)

pender street steppers - life in the zone - soft focusy vintagey house

Yeah, it's an insanely good album that even a lot of Krautrock people don't seem aware of.

This swings so hard and is an unheralded masterpiece and Webster always seems to shine more collaborating with other great sax players rather than as a band leader.
