Downloaded quite a few things this week.



Boards of Canada - Tomorrow's Harvest (2013)
Three listens in and it's certainly a great album. I am not the least bit let down.




Portugal. The Man - Evil Friends (2013)
I haven't listened to it yet, but obviously hoping it's good. I heard one track a few months back and wasn't too into it, but that was just based on one listen. Their last album was actually my favorite of theirs by far, so hopefully this will deliver.




John Lennon - Plastic Ono Band (1970)
Took me long enough to check this out. I know a few songs but that's it. After just one listen I don't love it, but I'm sure it will grow on me.




These New Puritans - Field of Reeds (2013)
Just had my first listen and it's an impressive shift in direction from their past albums. Some tracks have percussion and some don't, I definitely preferred those with but as a whole the album sounds very nice.




Download - LingAM (2013)
Oh Download. You were the most insane thing for a bit in the 90s, with your post-industrial "destroyed techno", as you called it. But you've gradually turned into something more and more dancefloor oriented, that unfortunately doesn't mesh with my current tastes in music. Sure I still love electronic music, but these 4-on-the-floor beats with the occasional twist just don't cut it. This may be the end of my faithful devotion to your work, unless I hear of a significant shift in direction. Now for those that are interested in dancefloor tunes, let's say dancefloor IDM if there is such a thing, by all means check this out. It might help if you like trance too, as there are a few moments here that really don't sit well with me since I pretty much hate trance. I'll give this another chance or two, but I just don't think it's for me anymore.



Jon Hopkins - Immunity (2013)
I don't have much to say about this one after just one listen. I guess it's a bit IDM, and a bit Microhouse or Tech House. The first half of the album was really strong but toward the end it got a little too spacey or atmospheric for my taste. Namely it was the title track I guess, which is pretty long. Very well produced album though.



The Asteroid #4 - These Flowers of Ours: A Treasury of Witchcraft and Devilry (2008)
Some pretty good 60s psychedelic pop revival. I've only given it one spin so far but the overall vibe is chill, not upbeat or catchy. I also got their latest one Hail to the Clear Figurines recently but found this one stronger.

These New Puritans have a new album out? Hell yeah. I thought Hidden was a massive shift in direction from Beat Pyramid so interested in where they are going next. Very underrated band.

I recommend getting on it. It's my AOTY thus far.

I got a turntable for my birthday, so I've been hunting down vinyl to add to my collection of ****ty hand-me-downs.


Snakefinger - Greener Pastures


Peter Serkin/Ozawa/Chicago Symphony - Piano Concerto & Others (Schoenberg)


Ornette Coleman - The Shape of Jazz to Come


Art Ensemble of Chicago - The Paris Session


The Mothers of Invention - Freak Out!


Jethro Tull - Aqualung


Frank Zappa - Joe's Garage Acts I, II, & III


Eugene Ormandy, Leopold Stokowski, Leonard Bernstein - The World of Charles Ives


Herbie Hancock - Thrust


Rush - Permanent Waves

Basically I nabbed anything worthy that I could find in the dollar bins at record stores as well as some records I haven't heard but have high expectations for. And of course I had to get a few of the classics.

Too much hype surrounding this album to just not listen too. Giving it a spin by tonight.

Brainiac - Hissing Prigs in Static Couture (1996)
If humans and computers eventually evolve into one and start making scuzzy off-kilter noise rock albums I'd image the results would be something like this. Sounds like Brainiac already got there many years ago.

I haven't been on here or Twitter as much as usual recently, but I haven't heard much apart from Surrel's comment.
