enjoying modern strains of classical more than the masters, at the moment. the light electronics, vocals, and low-end to the sound (n.1) are really appealing to me now.

______________________________
(n.1) why is there no bass sounds or semblence of rhythm in classical masterworks?

belgian comp from 1980 i got yesterday:

http://www.discogs.com/Various-Get-Sprouts/release/402815

the lavvi ebbel track "no place to go" is awesome! the post-punkiest coolest song i've heard in a long time. the stuff they have on youtube is cool too, but this song is epic. will search out records if they are to be found anywhere.

xpost to Rudipherous: I just listened to "Distance". It's quite nice. The whole album is good?

Ataxia - Automatic Writing
Iva Bittova - Bile' Inferno
The first Feelies record
Last Life In The Universe OST

Bunalim

Is that a new Bittova?

No it isn't. But it is *great*

check it

"Son House stuff"

these chillwave groups have to start finding better names.

You're right, Adam. I'll look for it.

I just listened to "Distance". It's quite nice. The whole album is good?

I suppose not, but I still think it's pretty good. Try "Maree Noire," which is from the album's more "avant" side and see what you think. "Progeria" is more of a jazz/fusion track. I don't love everything about that track, but I think it works. "Around the Lamp" is very pretty. "Democratia" is great, especially parts of it where he seems to intentionally straddle the Arabic/blues/rock divide. The last track is overtly political in a way some may find offputting (not me, in this case), despite, or maybe because of how minimal the lyrics are. (I think of the album is in the tradition of progressive rock, fusion, older electronic music, and maybe post-rock, with an Arabic feeling, as well, in the last couple tracks.) It's only 48 minutes long. (Incidentally, This was not a conspiracy to get you to notice the album. I just happened to post at about the same time you did.)

I didn't suspect that.:P

I could teach you how to think in a paranoid manner. Anyway, I don't know if you remember, but I think I got you to listen to some oud music by this person's father, Marcel Khalife. In fact, Bachar was probably on that, if it was from Caress, but this is his first solo album.

Liquid Sky really made a strong impression on me as a kid. I think it was mostly the combination of trippy fluorescent visuals, strange synthesized music, and boobs.

Gene Clark and Carla Olson
The Boss
The Fall
folk-rock
Dead Moon
Sun Ra "Lanquidity"

Lots and lots and lots...

Kassem Mosse
Omar-S (and other FXHE stuff)
DaM-FunK: Toeachizown (completely and totally addictive and immediately mood-lifting)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8TGWGRWe0s

Miss Lana Rebel - All I Need
Lydia Loveless - Indestructible Machine. This might be the best country album I've heard all year, if not the best album. She's like a more convincing Miranda Lambert and writes funny songs about Steve Earle.

LR_Groove__DJ_Eastwood_Dj_Vu--Sonic_Router_Mix_96

If you enjoyed Bnjmn's Plastic World, you will be like a dog with two dicks with the follow up Black Square. Almost my album of the year after one listen.
