Your next purchase should be Wide Open Spaces. With it's country/western theme, it's cut from the same cloth as Knuckles, but with the addition of the live instrumentation, courtesy of Matmos, it's more melodic (in places) and thus a bit more accessible. As great as FoK is, I give a slight nod to Spaces. There's a track, entitled "Morning", that is probably my favorite thing by her ever.Quote:

The Roots - ...and then you shoot your cousin (I appreciate this album more than I actually enjoy listening to it. They have probably more name recognition then in any other time in their career due to being on Fallon and they release their most challenging album yet that's some real artistry.)
Just got in the mail: an Australian CD by The Fleshtones, containing their debut EP, Up-Front, plus selections from their Live in Paris release, Speed Connection II, and the complete Roman Gods album!
Me = very, very happy. 😊
Jeff Bridges - Sleeping Tapes
Jeff Bridges making some very weird, outsider ambient stuff. Very cool.

Scott's original version was an instant classic but this Loveless cover is transcendent.

An absolutely beautiful compilation spanning 30 years of music from this unknown Italian ambient composer.
In a word, stunning.
This is the kind of discovery that makes me realize that no matter how many amazing albums I've heard, there are still thousands out there that are just waiting to be discovered. One of those serendipitous moments in which a few clicks of a mouse led me to a new place in which I discovered a future classic and favorite.
For fans of the Lullatones.
Take a Walk, by Madoka Ogitani
Mark Kozelek, what are you doing to your voice? Benji's stylings were fine, but this sounds, offpitch or something...
He basically just talks now.
Oh well.
I'll always have his old music.

Now I'll be listening to RHP all day. Thanks!

I find it depressing that this is the last active thread in this forum currently. Makes me wish I had never posted it.
New ambient compilation, with an old Carl Sagan's Ghost track.

Major Lazer, "Lean On." Been loving it.
Further listening to Gigi Masin. The album, The Last DJ, has solidified my opinion that Mr. Masin is easily on par with any of the greats in ambient music.
A masterful artist that deserves great recognition.
So glad to have discovered him this month.

Many others will follow; some of those are “LES NOUVELLES MUSIQUES DU CHAMBRE” for the Belgian Label SUB ROSA (1989) with Charles Hayward, “WIND COLLECTOR” (1991) with Alessandro Monti. Most recent cds include “LONTANO” (2001) and “MOLTITUDINE IN LABIRINTO” (2003) with Giuseppe Caprioli, both produced by Giovanni Antognozzi for ANTS/SILENZIO DISTRIBUZIONE.

The new AwolNation album, Run.
Given it a few spins, mostly like it, but it's more melancholic than Megalithic Symphony, with moodier production - synths borrowed from "Another One of My Turns" here, soft guitar bits that recall Pet Sounds there. Not on the same level of ambition as those records, but singular in its own way. The lyrics come off like "automatic writing," fun to sing along with but impenetrable at times. A little too reliant on repetitive drumbeats. Single "Hollow Moon" is a standout. Also enjoying "Kooks Everywhere," "JailBreak," and "Woman Woman." Megalithic was more dynamic in terms of the tone and attitude, but it was also more hit-or-miss on a song-by-song basis.
Kendrick Lamar's new album is everything I liked about hip hop in the early 2000's, except that there's really no standout tracks from the already released singles.
New Failure track! Wow. It's been like 15 years.

Perfect From Now On and Keep It Like a Secret are amazing fucking swirls of guitar psych eargasms. That is all.
Ever hear a song live and then buy the album only to hear the song sound completely different?
These guys played this song on the Howard Stern show. Sounded awesome. I bought the CD today and my ears are bleeding.
