Took delivery today of a couple of great Aussie CDs...

Watch Me Disappear - Augie March
Succumb - David Bridie

Been looking forward to hearing both of these with much excitement... having quite the enjoyable night of new musical discovery!

Also finally got a copy of REM live... just cuz I am a completist, ya know...

And Live's entire discography.

What are your thoughts on the later Live albums? I loved their first three but the latter half of their career has kinda left me disappointed...

Actually, I haven't yet listened to any of the later albums. lol. Now that I have them, I'll have to make it a point to give them a spin to see what's going on. I'm pretty sure my favorite album of theirs thus far is "The Distance to Here" though.

Sadistik has made the strongest impression on me so far, but the other two are also good value. East of Eden reminds me of Gentle Giant in a lot of respects.

Romeo & Juliet (soundtrack)

Del The Funky Homosapien- Funk Man ( the stimulus package)

Melt Banana -Scratch or Stitch

Been meaning to get into Melt Banana at some point....hmnz

Gazpacho - Tick Tock (2009)

Interesting Norwegian prog. album that seems to be getting a lot of attention recently. Cross Talk Talk, Radiohead and Marillion (with a bit of Floyd)together and you'll have an idea at what these guys are like. It's currently at 9th place or so on the Best Prog. Albums of All Time list on progarchives.com (which is unprecedented considering how new this release is), so I'd highly recommend everyone to atleast give it one listen or two.

Brian Eno & David Byrne - My Life in the Bush of Ghosts (1981)

Love it love it love it! Some real studio wizardry (well, it is Eno and Byrne working together after all...) went into this, and I can't even imagine how many minds it blew two decades back when this collaborative effort hit the shelves.

Jon & Vangelis - Private Collection (1983)

I love Vangelis's style when it comes to electronica/New Age, and I love Jon Anderson's vocals, and this is their best album together. Hence, I had to dl it at some point. A particular highlight here is the gorgeous 23-minute long Horizon, combining these two guys's respective approaches to music perfectly into a singular, defining statement to the world. Good stuff!

It's been too long since I last went on a download spree, so I went a bit nuts today.

Massive Attack - Blue Lines
- Mezzanine was SO much better

Violent Femmes - S/T
- I liked it a lot

Mono & World's End Girlfriend - Palmless Prayer/Mass Murder Refrain
- Fans of GYBE's F#A#Infinity should download this immediately

Hilmar Örn Hilmarsson & Sigur Rós - Angels of the Universe
- Pretty good, lots of strings, which I'm a sucker for
