What are you listening to at the moment? (Not a list thread)

[jobotic]

Cheers. I'll be sure to give that a listen.

I've been properly digging into the discography of yer Tangerine Dream (pre 1990 mostly, bar the recent and actually very good Quantum Gate). So much excellent stuff of course, but moving further into the 80's it's hard to shake off the realisation there's quite a lot of stuff which sounds like the soundtrack to a foreign current affairs programme.

[New Jack]

Cheers. I'll be sure to give that a listen.

Good, good! Everyone should be into Godspeed!, especially in these times, right people?

At the moment, it's a spot of JC Satan, seen them live, they're great, love their very unconvoluted sound, recommend looking up the thrashy mad choon Crystal Snake or the utterly charming In the Light

Great EP, that.

Having a Mingus-fest. Black Saint and the Sinner Lady followed by Let My Children Hear Music. It's so fucking fired up and majestic. Going to go backwards through the 60's-50's malarky soonish and re-read his demented autobiog while i'm at it.

Any other Third Streamers i should have heard that aren't Gil Evans and Don Ellis? (and i suppose Dolphy might fit in there too).

They did a fucking lovely cover of "Paranoid", too.

As I am old now I have been re-evaluating Fleetwood Mac. They wrote some great tunes, and had some brilliant instrumentation and orchestration. I had only really been familiar with The Corrs version of Dreams before and, quite rightly I am sure you would agree, thought it was a bag of shit. Listening to the Mac version though really brings out the greatness in the song with the subtle, uncluttered instrumentation and heartfelt singing. The same with Go Your Own Way. Songs that sound lumpy and dull by other bands sound fantastic when given the FM treatment

My krautrock exploration has brought me to Michael Rother, and very glad I am too. I think he is possibly my favourite figure from the genre (as loose as it is) at the moment for his work with Neu, Harmonia and his solo stuff.

Currently listening to the Stone Roses debut, not a fan at all. Really dull in my opinion.

I can't stop listening to this after hearing it in a recent episode of Legion:

Bought lots of stuff recently and not overly impressed by much of it. That Stephen Malkmus album is rubbish, Vital Idles is disappointing and still not decided on the Modern Studies LP. The new Natalie Prass has its moments but I'm not overly keen on the more R&Bish elements. Still haven't heard anything to dissuade me from constant re-listens to last year's near perfect Bedouine album. Have really high hopes for next week's new Essex Green album though.

Sandie Kerr - Thug Rock.

They serpently did!

I told them I loved them on Instagram in French and got a "heart" for the comment. Highlight of my year! (It's been a slow year)

Mo Troper! Joint favourite album of the year so far (although it came out last year)...

(It's power pop, by the way)

Sorry, I know it's not a list thread but for now let me just add a heads-up for new Marissa Nadler: For My Crimes

[Artie Fufkin]

The girl from Mars Ash - Nice electronica pop - quite proggy in places

Sorry - that's huuuuge!

[Norton Canes]

What? This came out last year? Completely missed it.

Tropical Fuck Storm - A Laughing Death in Meatspace

Best rock album I've heard this year. Apocalyptic, very smart, sometimes pretty funny. Awesome artwork.

The Magnetic Fields - Save a Secret For The Moon

I think I posted this on the same thread a few months ago.
I don't care though, it's wonderful and I can't get enough of it.

[Danger Man]

New Order: Confusion

1983 12" mix. Their best work.

Not the 1987 Substance reworking.

Hello Buzby.

Best rock album I've heard this year. Apocalyptic, very smart, sometimes pretty funny. Awesome artwork.

If you haven't already you should check out Gareth Liddiard's previous band The Drones, who are basically Tropical Fuck Storm with a different name anyway. 'Shark Fin Blues' is one of my "I cannot listen to this song just once" stick-it-on-again long term favourites.

The final Drones album 'Feeling Kind Of Free' definitely paves the way for the Tropical Fuck Storm one. 'Taman Shud' is a killer.

Apologies if I'm preaching to the converted and you already knew all this!

I am currently slightly obsessed with listening to the version of Dream Operator from the film True Stories. Does anyone know if there is a clean version of it available anywhere without the chatter from the crowd?

[Clownbaby]

Kirin J Callinan- Embracism. He's got a magnetic sexily intimidating bogan voice. It's a really unpredictable alien sounding album.



And I'm obsessed with this song from his second album. It's an actual hot mess with nauseating key changes and he looks like he's proper having fun in the video. I love it.
