PJ Harvey - Let England Shake Got this on CD today and i'm certainly not disappointed. It's another memorable and marvelous PJ Harvey album, it's great to see that she's still releasing albums like this after 20 years. Not too keen on that front cover but there's some really nice artwork inside. Ringo Deathstarr - Colour Trip A dense and layered yet deeply melodic shoegaze album. There's some obvious MBV and JAMC influences but the band spice things up with some great pop hooks, boy-girl vocals and some really nice-sounding and sometimes unusual guitar tones. And at 32 minutes is a nice short, sharp, straight-to-the-point debut album.

...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead - Tao of the Dead
Wanted to show this horrid album art in all its glory. I like the album though. I've played it 3 times since yesterday, quite enjoyable. I was even wondering if I liked it better than The Century of Self. So I played that one again this morning, and indeed it's possible the new one is better. They've always incorporated some level of prog in their music, but on the last two it's stronger. Even though they've been going in this direction for a while now, this album for some reason makes me think of Mastodon's Crack the Skye (which was a sharp turn to prog for them). Perhaps because it has more aggressive moments than The Century of Self. Not that it sounds like Mastodon in any way, mind you.

malegoat - To Face The Music
Japanese indie/emo because I was curious. Think Japanese Cap'n Jazz and you got the sound.

I seem to be going through a phase of buying existing MP3 albums on C.D. It just feels more tangible having a physical copy and makes sense to me being a music fan.
Recent buys: David Bowie - Outside David Bowie - Heathen Dio - Lock Up The Wolves Underworld - Dubnobasswithmyheadman Dubmatix - Atomic Subsonic Fates Warning - X (had to order the last 2 from the U.S as they are not available over here) Pink Floyd - Distant Sound Of Thunder (not a great album but I'm a completist) Senser - Stacked Up (OOP but managed to find it for £2.12-happy days) R.E.M - Automatic For The People Chemical Brothers - Push The Button. Downloaded: From the Sepultura siblings. Very decent with an old school vibe. I am quite disgusted with myself that I knew nothing about this seminal British roots reggae band. Shame on me.

The last ones I bought were Crookers - Tons Of Friends and Deadmau5 - For Lack Of A Better Name. I got them in a 2 for £10 offer in HMV a few weeks back.
The last one I downloaded was Bachelors of Science - Remixes volume 1, and Science Fiction |
