Well I'm glad I could be of service. I was just checking out the highly rated electronic albums of 2012 on RYM and this was within the top ten, it was also on Spotify, and soon it will be on my hard drive because it is fucking stellar.

Guilty Simpson & Apollo Brown - Dice Game (2012) Pretty nice so far. Obviously great soulful production and nice flows but I am not getting too excited, just gently nodding along. There's a real "Detroit vibe" as you would expect from these artists.

The second & third album from Audience. "Friend's Friend's Friend" from 1970 and "The House on the Hill" from 1971.
They were called "folk rock", "art rock", "prog rock", and have elements of all of those genres. Electric & acoustic guitar with vocals, bass, drums, keyboards, flute, sax and clarinet. Vocalist Howard Werth was tapped to replace Jim Morrison in The Doors, after the singers untimely death, but the band decided not to reform and he wound up working on some projects with Ray Manzarek instead. Both of these albums are very solid efforts and quite enjoyable! |

Someone gave me a bunch of albums a few weeks ago & those 2 were included in with them. Good to know they might be worth hearing.

Hmm. Sounds as though Audience could be a worth a listen!
More 2012 listens today for me: WINTERFYLLETH - THE THRENODY OF TRIUMPH British atmospheric black metal. This could well make my top 10 yet after a re-listen today. Good live band too. WODENSTHRONE - CURSE Another re-listen from a local black metal band (and we dont exactly have many), again on the atmospheric side. I like them but of course may be biased, as I'm over the moon to have a Sunderland band that arent The ****ing Futureheads. Will probably miss out on my top 10 though. CLOUD NOTHINGS - ATTACK ON MEMORY Post-hardcore/emo that seems to be getting a decent amount of hype. I didnt think it was bad by any means but it didnt really do it for me. THE TALLEST MAN ON EARTH - THERES NO LEAVING NOW I can't tell if this would benefit or hurt from repeated listens but, while it didn't exactly blow me away, this offered a nice, mellow distraction from the heavier stuff. A nice folky album. DRAGGED INTO SUNLIGHT - WIDOWMAKER Yup, still this album clings to my top spot for this year. Blackened death/doom, hard to categorise, and the most inventive metal album I've heard for a while that still packs an aggressive, violent kick. |

One of those darnfangled "guitarist" albums that were so popular near the end of the 80's. Gotta say though, the bossa nova elements-meets-Satriani shreddage ain't too bad on a Friday night.

I'm almost positive I wouldn't like the album, but that cover is freaking fantastic.
