Albums You're Digging II

Starting to get more into the world of Black Metal. Starting with Norwegian. This album is really great. Love the atmophere and acoustic passages.

Her von welken Nächten (2001) by Dornenreich

This is such a beautiful black metal album... Ambient-like synths, elegant violin and cello playing, vocal change-ups between aggressively fast singing and booming baritones, and (of course) heavily distorted and sometimes spastic guitar parts. There are even three dark folk pieces...

Overall, I'm pretty thrilled that I like this... not only because its metal (a genre that I have struggled with), but also because I love every single track on it. Very melodic, very emotional, very good... Love the album art, too.

This is a decent black metal album, too:

Ballo Delle Castagne - Ballo Delle Castagne

so in this seemingly unstoppable surge of martial industrial/neo folk acts turning into drug addled psychedelic bands.....this is absolutely amazing.....this is pure psychedelic progressive rock.....as they say "no drama, no stories"....i highly suggest this album

Not tell us what you are listening to.

and that goes to the people just posting album covers too.

How can I tell ya about what I am listening to if I don't tell ya what I am listening to?

Well I mean... tell us what you're listening to and then why you're digging the album. It obviously meant enough to you for you to post about it, I want to hear why.

Jónsi & Alex - Riceboy Sleeps (2009)
I practically forgot that I had this album in my library, I'm in a very ambient mood this evening so I decided to give it a listen since I haven't listened to it in quite some time. This album is amazing when you are in the right mood for it, it's mostly instrumental with wordless vocals from Jónsi creeping through occasionally and there's a choir on one or two tracks. The lush droning layers of strings, bowed guitar and other various instruments sound incredibly beautiful and moving and the ambient sounds that float in and out add to this dreamy, otherworldly feel. I really, really hope they record a second album together.

This album is swiftly rising to the stack of my all-time favorites. Musical accompaniment to the theatrical production of one of the strangest collaborations I've heard: Kevin Coyne, a brilliant songwriter well-versed in outsider art, and Dagmar Krause, the contralto chartreuse responsible for the ethereal vocals of avant-prog outfits Henry Cow and Art Bears. Touted by Will Oldham as "the album that changed [his] life", Babble is an unflinching exhumation of a schizoid romance. It sounds like nothing out of the same era (or indeed, anything else by either songwriter), roaming with manic energy between emotional evocations. I wish I could explain further but I've barely plumbed its depths so far, so I'll just let Coyne's opener do the talking...

I love Kevin Coyne, Art Bears and Henry Cow, so I should probably get on this sharpish. That song was great.

Sounds interesting. Is it a type of mashup album? Better/Worse than the recent Wugazi (Wu-Tang/Fugazi) album (if you've heard it)?
