No idea either of course, but feel free to post anything you like in my recommendation thread (the confusingly named pitchfork one)

The Ridiculous Trio - The Ridiculous Trio Plays The Stooges (2004)

Quote:

A crazed tuba & trombone reimagination of the piercing punkadelic music created by The Stooges! Thrashing cymbals and bashing drums locked in step with unrelenting tuba riffs, reinforced by otherworldly trombone writhing and sliding and bending (just like Iggy onstage), sounding somewhere between a disheveled wah-wah guitar or a kazoo. Available for the first time as a complete album, it must be heard to be believed!

Olias Of Sunhillow was a pretty ambitious release even by late 70's standards. Revisiting it on some decent speakers and I find myself a little in awe of it.

Even tho I was never a Yes fan,
that Jon Anderson album caught me off guard
in a good way when I was sent a promo of it around '76.
I wonder if he's still working on that sequel, "Son of Olias." (not joking!)

The Chicks' Gaslighter.

A quick review...12 songs, most of which are about Natalie Maines' divorce, and the last half of the entire album is one, long boring same tempo song.

Also, when the banjo & fiddle are actually heard (maybe 3-4 times in the album's entirety), they're relegated to merely towing the line of the song and don't have any prominence at all.

This is a boring album, and what made them a great band is completely abandoned.

They've removed the Dixie both figuratively and literally.

The little bits of beauty in between the mad dissonance make this one of my favorite DB releases.

Mong Tong 夢東 - Mystery 秘神 (2020)

The debut album from Taiwanese duo "Mong Tong" which was recorded in their home studio. Instrumental psychedelic space-pop with a chill vibe. It didn't make much of an impression on me during my first listen but I'll give it a couple more spins before I decide if it's a tosser.

Hardy Fox - Nineteen Sixty Seven (2017)

Quote:

Long time composer / secret member of The Residents, Hardy Fox released a vast amount of solo albums during his last few years on Earth. This one was the last album he released under the "Bobuck" name before publicly announcing his true identity. Although most of his solo albums were usually instrumental, Nineteen Sixty Seven features Hardy playing and singing some of the biggest hits of 1967 in his unique and twisted style.

He has such an intimidating discography. Do you have a top five or just five that you’ve taken to?
