Notekillers - Notekillers (1977-1981)

Am I ignorant for not knowing about these guys? Because they kick some serious ass. Elphenor either shame me or check it out.

He also curated and released that comp, so I guess we both have Thurston to thank for this.

Devin Townsend Project - Epiclouder (2012)

So I'm a ****ing idiot and never actually listened to the extension of Epicloud. I don't know why I haven't yet but this is fantastic. 10 extra tracks that I've yet to hear from Epicloud as a whole.

^ Everyone could use a little moar Townsend in their lives.

Lezzee what I've got here-

Some of the best ambient ever.

As good a mid 80's love letter to the apocalypse as anyone could have asked for. 'Dancing The World Away' is a stellar opening track.

About as weird and fun as you'd expect. Would be nice if The Residents lived forever...

^^^ I proceeded to listen to Z2 afterwards, and back when it was released, I know it got a lot of mixed opinions. Don't really see why as it's pretty solid.

Most of Z2's praise was for the Sky Blue side if memory serves. Whole thing is solid as a brick though.

Too much narrative just told through exposition rather than through the music like the original one. That was my major bugbear with the album.

Also Anteater is right in saying that Sky Blue was the stronger of the two.

I do enjoy Sky Blue a lot more. I was just more-so saying as the structure of the album altogether is fantastic. Though I will say that it is nice that Sky Blue followed the same type of theme that Ghost and some of his older albums. I won't deny it's definitely the better half.
