Amon Amarth - Fate of Norns (2004)

Never really got around to listening to their earlier work. Starting with Fate of Norns, and I am really liking it.

I used to listen to their first three albums, mainly Once Sent From The Golden Hall which I liked a lot. I havent listened to them in such a long time now though, I feel they may be one of those bands who I would need to listen to again to establish if I'd still like them or not.

I listen to them on a rare occasion, but I tend to enjoy them whenever I get in the mood for them. I'm really liking their earlier work, it seems much more raw and powerful than their recent albums, though I do like their recent stuff as well.

Codona - "Codona 2"

Fantastic jazz fusion albums with African influence.

I got the LA's Desert Origins edition of this:

Ddekombinacja—s/t
Polish hip hop/breakcore with dashes of everything from industrial to death metal to jazz. Really good, off-kilter stuff with a nice hard edge.

Spaceghostpurrp—Mysterious Phonk
I love the whole stark, streamlined aesthetic this guy has going on. The synths are cheap sounding, the soundscapes are minimalistic yet somehow vast. I feel like I'm living inside Blade Runner when I listen to this. I think my only gripe is that this dude raps about his dick too much.

Gotta check that first one out but I really didn't care Spaceghostpurrp's release.

Ultra Vivid Scene - Joy 1967-1990

This sounds like what would happen if Beck decided to go down the Dream Pop/Indie Rock route (which I don't think he has), but better. Fantastic stuff.

If you like that, I highly recommend checking our his/their album Rev which, in my opinion, is far superior in every way.

Long Arm - The Branches

Long Arm is from the Project:Mooncircle crew and makes jazzy chillout music. This is the first album I've bought in probably 4 or 5 years.

In my Spotify queue :)
