Last album you bought, downloaded or listened to

Yeah, I'm on the second track and it's kind of meh for me right now. Reminds me of Grizzly Bear, but folkier.

I could see it growing on me though. Baroque Pop and the indie folk scene kind of rubs me the wrong way, so I might end up not liking this album at all actually. We'll see.

cold, wintery dark ambient with a bit of acoustic in there, warming things up like a crackling fire. neat combination.

Guys, where do you download your music from?

I use Google Blogsearch sometimes but these days it seems to be returning fewer and fewer results. And half of them end up being dead links or removed ones. :/

I try to buy as and when I can, though. Buying every damn thing would burn a huge hole in my pocket, so some downloading needs to happen. That said, I would gladly pay and download if the prices are reasonable.

Angra - Aqua. Love these Brazilian guys!

Amplifier - The Octopus
This is their first album in 4 years and they've responded with this sprawling double album. Clocking in at just over 2 hours of music this is certainly a hugely ambitious space-rock album. I'm listening to it at the moment and so far my impressions are fairly positive, the music doesn't quite have the heavy guitar crunch of their first 2 albums but the band seem to have expanded their musical horizons a good bit. It will take a few more listens to determine whether this album is a stroke of genius or an exercise in over-ambitious self-indulgence.

Depeche Mode - Sounds Of The Universe

Rudi Arapahoe - Echoes From One to Another

ambient/neo classical/avant garde

really, really tremendous. if you like ambient, don't miss this one.

some more from me, i've been checking out my last.fm recommendations which i have not done for many months.

Tripswitch - Geometry

wonderfully smooth and mellow downtempo electronic

Bushy - Hiya!

more chill electronic goodness

Bajka - In Wonderland

if you've heard Bonobo's newest, you'll know Bajka's voice from tracks such as Days To Come and Walk In The Sky.
this, her solo album, is a jazzy downtempo piece with a similar feel.

Baroness
The Blue Record

Saw them open for Mastodon. Great sound.

And it's NZ drone doom as well

I've somehow avoided listening to them despite having one of their albums on my hard drive for a couple of years :/

Must get around to checking them out.
