A sublime record. Its rather intriguing to hear Sunn O))) with drums. A little unnerving even.

Lisa Germano - Geek the Girl (1994)
Though technically slowcore/dream-pop I think theres a little too much aggression and frankly, it may be a little too terrifying at times to carry the characteristics of a genre or genres I indulge in for, generally, relaxation. A record about a girls tale of sexual maturity, abuse and fear among other things. It is not a fun record, to say the least. One of the tracks, "...a Psychopath", even includes the sampling of a genuine emergency call made as a woman struggles with an intruder. The result is horrifying.
Ida - Ten Small Paces (1997)
Slowcore/dream-pop with male-female harmonies. Sounds good enough to me. I have listened to it and I fell asleep. That, however, is not a negative review. I just need to listen to it again sometime to really judge it.
On Vinyl
Dio - Sacred Heart (1985)
Cause it's Dio. 'Nuff said.
On CD
Explosions in the Sky - Take Care, Take Care, Take Care (2011)
Supposedly a return to their roots of a slow, gentle build to epic greatness. Probably one of the first post-rock bands I heard and, while not the greatest, have still produced some wonderful music. The
packaging and
artwork is absolutely immaculate. Rather staggering actually, as the house opens up into a four-part gatefold with a huge fold out poster and a postcard with the tracklisting slotted away inside too.
All CDs i bought to replace digital versions today.
