What are you listening to? 2011

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
PiL - Metal Box
Son House stuff (love this guy)
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.

why is there no bass sounds or semblence of rhythm in classical masterworks?

why does dead people never want to geir?

Bile Inferno is so great, especially disc 2

milton- tell me where I can get the karma moffett and is the villalobos really him cutting up the "zero set" album?

standby for leo, and the Villalobos is actually a remix of Moebius & Neumeier's 'Zero Set II' from a few years ago, which I've listened to twice, ok but didn't grab me. this remix is pretty sweet though
