Honeycut - The Day I Turned To Glass

I'm enjoying this so far.

I needs to be buying me that new Peter Gabriel album... now! It looks to be just my thing! Of course I am an old fan of his from way back, but aside from that, it sounds like an awesome concept... Gabriel does a whole buch of stripped back basic and symphonic covers of some older and more modern material from the likes of Radiohead, Bowie, Paul Simon and The Magnetic Feilds...I'm excited!

GusGus - Polydistortion (1997)

Trip-hoppish late 90's cult classic that makes you feel just as the cover depicts; floating in the depths of the deepest ocean, asleep, with a smoldering joint on hand. You can't go wrong with this album.

Steely Dan - Pretzel Logic (1974)

Next to Aja, this is probably the strongest Steely Dan album in terms of songwriting, being catchier and a tad less radio-friendly than either Can't Buy A Thrill or Countdown To Ecstacy. Dunno why it took me so long to pick this up...

Local Natives - Gorilla Manor (2009)

Like a punchier and less folksy Fleet Foxes. In other words, anyone who likes catchy alt. rock will think this is the bomb, including myself.

The new High on Fire album Snakes for the Divine was released a few days ago. I'm reeling it in right now.

Excellent group, one of the few American shoegaze bands worth giving a shit about. I only have On Fire but it's definitely worth a listen or two.

galaxie 500 always sent me to sleep. sure there was a stupid name somebody invented for them.. slowcore? indeed

You sure you're not thinking of Low? I thought it was pretty energetic stuff.

Todeskult's Als Die Farben Älter Wurden

Well I mentioned in the "Most Depressing Band / Song(s)" thread that Suicidal/Depressive Black Metal is the most expository name for a genre.. and what's on this cover might you ask? Judging by his arm placement and the wooden planks under a long metal rail, I'd say he's laying himself on some train tracks. That doesn't seem like a very good idea! Sillyman

Emperor - In the Nightside Eclipse

I've always had a small interest in metal, but it wasn't until really recently that I actually started exploring it on my own. I think all the dreampop I have been listening to recently has created a craving for the total opposite.

I'm sure posting this album shows my metal newbieness to all you metalheads out there, but I'm working on it...

No that's actually a great album! If you're looking into getting some more Black Metal then I could definitely give you some suggestions

I am definitely open to them! It feels like something just kind of "clicked" recently with this type of music...I have been really enjoying it.

Yeah it's somewhat out of line when compared to the other stuff I listen to but I think what Black Metal has that I love is atmosphere. Good ol' atmosphere. I shall send you a message now.

EDIT: Just got this. Great stuff.. quite beautiful!

B-Sides and Rarities - Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds

I've recently been inspired to complete my Nick Cave collection, this was top of the list. The third disc is downloading as i speak. so far what i've heard is amazing.

I didn't know that this album even existed... I've never seen it anywhere?
Must... find... album.....

Got some pretty great stuff, especially disc one and two. Disc three... Meh, could live without

The Q4 - Sound Surroundings

this just came out. really good mix of jazzy downtempo and hip hop with a worldly feel to it. plus the album art is simply awesome.

Any idea where I could get my hands on a copy? I don't d/l sorry

the second video was great, real RJD2-esque stuff. would you mind sending me a link?

Because I'm an evil person who nobody could ever love.

Tommy Guerrero - Soul Food Taqueria

An interesting blend of trip-hop, soul, and r&b if kind of bland. Not sure if I'm going to keep this one yet.

Newest Finntroll release :)

Shaolin Death Squad - Intelligent Design (2006)

Pete pointed me towards these guys, and I've gotta say, I never thought I would find a prog. metallish group on par with Pain of Salvation or Mr. Bungle in terms of creativity...but these guys are right up there, blending enough ideas to make your head spin while delivering some hella' fine vocal and guitar play all the while.

Spiritualized - Lazer Guided Melodies (1992)

A tad more ephemeral than what I've heard from Spiritualized's later classics, but that's not a bad thing at all. Calming, evocative, distant....picking this up was a good call.

Lionel Richie - Can't Slow Down (1983)

Decent enough pop-soul from a guy who is known for pointless, wimmenz-friendly balladry, and it captures the early 80's feel in a nutshell through some nicely varied songs that aren't afraid to clock over a five minute runtime.

http://img.noiset.com/images/album/l...t-cd-8337.jpeg

Brilliant alt-country. I got hold of this a while back, but lost it along with about 2000 MP3 files when I first got my EHD organised. Just getting reacquainted with this at the minute.

I really oughta own some Massive Attack, I've liked everything I've ever heard from them, and I am sure they're albums would be great...

Hm, I have also Mezzanine and for sure I will try to have more.
Some years ago I had long period with Morcheeba and now I have come back to trip-hop and stuff like this.

Local Natives - Gorilla Manor (2009)

http://newmedia.kcrw.com/musicnews/w...ILLA-MANOR.jpg

Meh. There are moments, sure, but it comes off as second rate Grizzly Bear most of the time. Still, there are moments... Who Knows, Who Cares is catchy as all hell and Cubism Dream is easily the best on the record. The Talking Heads cover is alright too.

3.5/5

Here's hoping I enjoy it as much as the last album

Should be able to get it from most Aussie distributors. I got mine form a small city store called Revs, 12 bucks. Not complaining.

I'll check em out, they might let you order online or something. I know the JB Hi-Fi I have here doesn't have it.
