Un-Grateful Thread - What Are You Listening to Instead of the Dead?

Lumen Drones - Umbra
2019, Hubro

Nils Økland: Hardanger fiddle and violin
Per Steinar Lie: Guitars
Ørjan Haaland: Drums

This is most excellent... It's got a post rock, Mogwai / Explosions in the Sky feel to it, most songs have a sparse sound but have a building intensity about them. I wasn't sold after the first few tracks but the last 20-25 minutes is captivating.

 

Discogs Random Item Tuesday. Talk Talk - It's My Life. Another 80's gem for @notesofachord

 

Deep Fried Grandeur. Cool sounding live collaboration between Ryley Walker and Kikagaku Moyo.

 

Why? Because @fishcane First German Apple press and this thing is a revelation. The bass is incredible.

 

2 CD compilation

I have a dozen albums but I enjoy spinning this comp.

 

By any standard or metric or fancy I might embrace, this is Top 10 for me, regardless of genre.

 

Ty Segall & Freedom Band - Freedom's Goblin

 

YESSSSSSS. I love this record

 

Been years since I've played this old US Frankford cut (usually play the old MPO CD)
Clan of Xymox-S/T, 1985

 

Back to back Traffic on a cold, (for Florida), rainy, gloomy day. Original recordings produced by Jimmy Miller.

Not sure which version I prefer, love them both!

Sundazed Mono CD (2012)


Island Mono CD Remaster of original UK release (1967/2000)

 

ooh baby

 

I think a beer is a great idea.

 

It’s water. I schiit you not, Sierra Nevada hop water. No calories or alcohol.

 

Paul Dunmall, John Adams, Mark Sanders - Ghostly Thoughts. First listen prompted by @Dahabenzapple’s praise of this album. It definitely takes you for a ride; I dig it.

 

It’s a refreshing beverage, I love the taste of hops and it works better on a Tuesday. But a beer would also be nice, no argument there.

 

I may have to try this
