^Good pick, I was considering giving him that or Faust IV next. I guess I know which one it'll be (I'll wait a while though and let a few more come in).

Title: Bwyd time Artiste: Gorky's Zygotic Mynci Genre: Alt-rock? Track 1 (Hate) Short but silly. Don't like it Track 2 (Love) More psychedlic and a little more laidback. Not bad. Track 3 (Love) Touch of “Suffragette City” about the guitar here Track 4 (Love) Love this one; nice instrumental Track 5 (Love) This is just lovely Track 6 (Love) And this is positively pastoral, like the best of the Beatles and Simon and Garfunkel mixed together with a touch of the more gentle side of Jethro Tull Track 7 (Love) Now an acoustic folky song. I'm liking this more and more as I go along. Ooh, nice organ there! Track 8 (Love) Just beautiful. Another instrumental. Track 9 (Love) The spoken vocal with the choir behind it and the phasey keyboard, superb. Then the guitar just makes it. Track 10 (Love) Another spoken vocal. These really work well. Mad guitar is great, then it changes to I think sitar and acoustic? Beautiful. Mind you, there's some very weird stuff near the end, but not enough to cause me to change my mind on this one. Track 11 (Hate) Bit odd, not crazy about it really Track 12 (Hate) And I definitely don't like this one. Much. Track 13 (Hate) OK, this is ten minutes long so I hope it's an improvement on the last two tracks. Hmm. Seems in fact to end at the six-minute mark with four following minutes of complete silence. Wasn't mad about it at all. End result: Better than expected; in places really, really good but tailed off really badly, to my surprise and disappointment, near the end. So, Love or Hate? Still gets a Love Chances of a full review: Given that there's so much Welsh in it, I'd have to bet low and say 2/10

Note: tomorrow is shopping day so don't expect anything like three new reviews. I'll be lucky to get one! Normal service should resume on Friday.

Are you familiar with the Stones, TH? 'Cause Let It Bleed has been my jam lately, and I'd love to hear your thoughts on it. It's a bit of a long shot, but if you haven't heard it…

Well I guess meow is a good time.
Faust - Faust IV After this you're either going to love or hate krautrock.
