Amon Düül II - Wolf City

Amazing album. Inspired me to go on a Krautrock binge.

Tanz der Lemminge, Yeti and Phallus Dei are damn good too.

Beach House - Teen Dream
I'm thrall to this album at the moment. The haunting reverb-heavy vocals, gorgeous guitar lines, piano and touches of organ create a feeling of timelessness and melancholy reminiscent of My Morning Jacket's 'It Still Moves' album. It feels like a long lost classic rather than a new release in a new decade. There may be another 11 months left in this year but i can surely bet that this album will be high on people's best album lists. An incredibly heart-warming album

I'm on a bit of a thrash trip at the minute. This is one of the better 80's thrash albums i've checked out in some time.

Never really got off on this album. It has it's moments but I find it's more of a souped up Heavy Metal album than Thrash.

I've only listened to it once but first impressions were really good. I've been downloading a load of thrash albums and that one definitely stood out from alot of the others i have listened to over the last few days.

I love me some Thrash but there was a lot of copycat crap around too and it takes quite a bit of sifting to find the real gems. If you are concentrating on the Bay area scene then Blind Illusion's The Sane Asylum is a must. A whole lot different to other bands around at the same time.

Mojo · 01-28-2010, 05:19 PM

Yeah theres alot of thrash i dont like. Ive heard bits and pieces of Blind Illusion but never actually checked out an album. I'll get on that.

^ While I wouldn't call the rest of it that bad, this album would easily be a favourite of mine if it only consisted of the last 6 songs on it. It's the first music I've listened in about 24 hours (a new record for me perhaps), and the first Manics album I've given in a spin in a very long time.

^ Probably my favourite song off of it.

The Black Dog - Radio Scarecrow

Just a lovely ambient techno/IDM album.
