Non Metal Now Listening

[ldj]

I've only dipped my toes into a bit of jazz, but was on an Alice Coltrane buzz the other week, some great stuff.

Matteo Mancuso - Route 95

He plays like a cunt, yes, but he can compose a tune too.

[Ducky]

Agree with the boyos there on the previous page, Black Saint is a lethal album.

NP - Manic Street Preachers - Generation Terrorists, The Holy Bible.

Pure sound way to spend an evening.

I only recently gave BoC the time of day, and regretted not doing that sooner. Music Has the Right to Children has been on very heavy rotation for the last few weeks. So I went and pre-ordered Inferno at the earliest opportunity. It hasn't quite worked its way under my skin like Music.. but it's a much more dense affair and I'll have to dedicate a bit more time to it.

Bicep's first album is getting a fair bit of play as well.

Looking for a physical version of DJ Shadow - Entroducing without much luck, but I'm hoping for a 30th(!!!) anniversary reissue in September.

Inferno is starting to blossom further for me now.
Probably on my 5th listen.
Got it on vinyl during the week, so better sound on my setup.
Very accomplished work from the Scots.

Endtroducing..... is one of the best albums ever.
Enjoy 😎

Slift - Fantasia

[Pentagrimes]

Neptune- Play Some Music

Yeeeah, this is great. RIYL: Bad vibes 

[Bürggermeister]

Tilts - s/t and Cuatro Hombres

[StoutAndAle]

Sorry about the link for the first one - it's on Spotify/Bandcamp too. I listened about 2 weeks ago while I was trawling through record bins in a shop trying to find a jazz album based on a fleeting memory of the cover/artist name. This wasn't the record that I was looking for but I am now slightly obsessed with it. I reckon I have played this 15 times in the last two weeks. 

That led me to to this;

(also on Spotify)

[91/30]

Jethro Tull - 2nd album on Spotify
Paw - Dragline on CD

[Jward]

Black Dog Productions – Bytes

I remember finding this 2nd hand around '94 (released '93), as I knew a track or 2, & gave it a few spins.
I left it idle in my collection at home for basically decades, & have gone back to it the last 2/3 years.
Savage stuff.
It hasn't dated one bit.

[Carnage]

Hüsker Dü: Metal Circus / Extra Circus

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

Mainly Inferno these last couple of days. Really digging it. Must get me arse in gear and order the LP.

[Mooncat]

Was walking through a park and heard a couple of guys listening to some really cool music. Shazam'd it and it turned out to be the new Boards of Canada album Inferno. Add that to all the talk of it on here and I gave it a go. It's really good. I love the wooziness of their music in general.

[StoutAndAle]

"Hatful of Hollow" - The Smiths.

I came to The Smiths much later than is generally considered standard - i.e. one's teenage years. Mainly because, for most of my life, I thought that Morrissey was cunt - a fact borne out to be true. Obviously I knew the hits but I only began listening to the albums proper when I was firmly in my 30s.

I picked up the "Hatful Of Hollow" compilation for a few quid at the weekend, having never listened to it before - the thing that struck me was how much work the rhythm section is doing which I never noticed on the studio records. Andy Rourke is doing serious bass workouts - if you take Morrissey out of the mix on the Hatful version of "This Charming Man" the rest of the lads sound like an exceptionally tight jazz-trio - none of them are older than 20/21 on that record either.

Except Morrissey who was 25ish and a cunt. 

 

[open face surgery]

Incredible band. Don't care that Morrissey is a cunt. It's entertaining.
