you think so? you liked something by him in the last.....say 30 yeaars? me i wouldnt call it lousy, but it was nothing in particular.. i dont think the huge tracks justified their lenght. it did have its moments tho, this one pe

hell, i even thought that "americana" (released at the same time and critically hammered) had its moments (about americana i should note that usually i dont care about lyrics and that most of these songs i dont know and they dont mean nothing to me, so i can hear them out of context. maybe this distance from american folk/culture saves the album for me)

It’s horrible. Absolutely embarrassing.

Hell yes.

Ragged Glory
Harvest Moon
Greendale
Prairie Wind
Living with War
Le Noise

Le Noise is a personal favorite but after back to back deeply disappointing releases Psychedelic Pill and and especially the god awful Americana I guess I haven’t been paying much attention because I don’t remember listening to any of the records after that.

Big AOTY potential here

Terry Riley: Sun Rings
Album by Kronos Quartet

Riley and the Kronos Quartet accomplish something amazing here. One is the successful use of the human voice in a contemporary classical piece. That alone is a kind of miracle. Furthermore, the influences Riley pulls on: smalls bits of Fluxus, plus Copeland and Dvorak and most prominently Bartok - it’s loaded with beautiful passages and transitions. Glad they finally put this out.

Clean Feed Records puts out good stuff, reliably.

I thought that it was pretty middling tbh. Floss doesn't have much replay value but at least it's pretty fun while it lasts.

Well, it’s not actually making the cut for my top whatever list but I think it’s a pretty good spin. It’s not going on deep rotation though.
