From Alfred, solid rap album. The production is pretty basic, but never feels over done and Shad is a good lyricist.

Just bought the 3 latest Moody Blues remasters that came out a couple of months ago - Octave, Long Distance Voyager, and The Present.

Recommended to me by a friend...haven't listened yet.

I was eager to give this one a listen...I have to say 4 songs in that I am extremely disappointed.

Beautiful...

Good to see you are branching out with the Buckley

So many people stop at Grace, because they know that was his only studio album, but theres a lot of good stuff out there.

Jeff Buckley - Eternal Life is one of my favorite songs, I have a live version that is really good.

I'm looking to disprove a Pitchfork opinion with this one.

As in the 'Road Version' that was speeded up and much more aggressive than the Grace version?

It's arguably the better version I would say. It really injected some venom into his live sets.

yes that is it, and you are on the money. it gave his set some crunch

The Muffins - Manna/Mirage

An album by this unfortunately obscure group that fuses jazzy avant-garde with Canterbury-scene stylings. It's surprisingly pretty sharp stuff, reminicent to me of Soft Machine and Coltrane's earlier stuff in its quieter moments. If there ever was a "lost gem" of the late 70's, then I'd say this is it.

Kayo Dot - Choirs of the Eye

I wasn't expecting that much of this, considering the sort of hype Kayo Dot get in experimental metal circles, but this record is actually pretty awesome/engaging. Take Maudlin of the Well (their former group), swap out their jazzy tendencies for classical ones, and Choirs of the Eye is what comes out of the oven.

Fucking hell. What is this? Tons of feedback filtered through Electronics but it has shape, poise and is melodious at times too. My Bloody Valentine get musically raped by an ambient Aphex Twin. There is no particular highlight. It's just a great big aural mess (in a good way).
