Don't @ me if you disagree. Oh, and if an artist released more than one thing that I consider to be a part of a series (see: Thou, Iglooghost) I just stuck them together.

These are all good, if not great albums, though for different reasons. If the genres they're tagged as pique your interest, even if they're not in my top 20, you should still listen.

Those who take interest in how the musicians of Evan Parker: September Winds dealt with the challenges and unique opportunities of recording in an empty water reservoir will likely find themselves intrigued with the challenging acoustics of Lisbon’s Church of Santa Engrácia where this brilliant and beautiful work was recorded. Also like September Winds, All the Rivers is contemporary classical third stream free jazz. Dig on it when you get the chance.

5/5



Igreja de Santa Engrácia
Panteão Nacional
I just ****ing love this more and more with every listen. It makes me feel like I’m making some kind of heroic journey on some sort of aggressively uninhabitable planet on another end of the Milky Way and this is the record I have on repeat blasting in my spacesuit as I soldier into the abyss as the unknown ****ing hero of nowhereland and a billion years later a distant descendent will find my remains with this record still playing and it’ll think goddamn son that’s some seriously really ****ing good music this guy died to.
