You're god-fu‎cking-damn-right it was.

Earth 2 wasn't very good but this is bloody great.
 
I only got that one after the JH-approved 'This Is Augustus Pablo' which is brilliant in different ways, there seems to be more Pablo in that one and less of Tubby's tinkerings.

Will make my way to 10ft deffo. Oh and I just got a 'Heavyweight Dub Champion' by Scientist :D He is like the continuation of Tubby in a way, really exciting to listen to.
 
The Raymond Brake-Piles of Dirty Winter
This album is the closest thing I've ever heard that Polvo-Today's Active Lifestyles. It's a little bit I guess poppy is the word and accessible but at the cost of nothing it's an amazing album.
 
Yeah, I just don't really have as much time as before that I could use getting into new albums. Plus there's tons of cool stuff I'm rediscovering as a result, which is always cool.

The Future Sound Of London - Lifeforms

^ I bloody love this album. A lot more subtle than just about everything else they've done, but it's still packed with some great, dark arabient atmospherics, terrific beats - just an all-round keeper this.

Global Communication - 76:14

^ Wasn't so keen on this at first, but I was doing some work earlier with this in the background, and god damn did it click! Amazing album - kinda neo-classical, dark arabient stuff and another terrific album.

edit: PS - Alfie are awesome
 
Jacob's ladder is an awesome song :)
Actually, the entire Permanent Waves album is gold! Spirit of radio is my all time favorite rush song.
Just that, i haven't given their other stuff a good listen yet.

EDIT:
Next Album-

Russian Circles-Enter
From being quiet to bursting out as heavy as Isis, this album amazes me!
9/10...Superb instrumental stuff.
Recommended for Isis/Pelican fans.

Genesis-Nursery Cryme
Been quite a while since i listened to them...Refreshingly good.(although i have listened to it b4)
I just love the keyboarRAB and the dark sound of the album...can't suggest any favorites cuz all the tracks are equally good.
 
Dead Can Dance - Into the Labyrinth
album-into-the-labyrinth.jpg

My first extended dose of DCD for quite a while now, and once I'm started on them it's pretty hard to stop. Not quite among my favourites of theirs, but still a fabulous album, and a great rep of that whole medieval mutant of new age thing they had going on at one point.

Spleen-And-Ideal-(Remastered)-by-Dead-Can-Dance_HmKOgYbADXYx_full.jpg

^ Only two tracks in and already I get the feeling that this is pretty damn awesome stuff. It's another album I practically forgot I had 'til about 5 minutes ago too. Very good darkwave stuff - good to freak out to.
 
It's not an album but a mai single and my first tentative taste of the band:

What have I been missing? It's frigging brilliant. ReminRAB me of a cross between Echo & The Bunnymen and Lloyd Cole. I want MOAR!
 
My favorite clash release for sure. In 1980, before Sandinista! dropped in America, critics believed that Bruce Springsteen's forthcoming The River would greatly overshadow the Clash's release commercially and critically because it was a double album. As the triple album Sandinista! went on to huge success in the U.S., The Clash responded "Suck on this, Bruce."

Love it!
 
The Magnetic FielRAB "Holiday"

The album where Stephin started singing and in my opinion the album where they showed their full creativity for the first time. It's influenced a bunch of recent indie sensations from Beirut to Jens Lekman and it's lovely especially Torn Green Velvet Eyes.
Favorite Songs: Torn Green Velvet Eyes, Take Ecstasy With Me, Strange Powers

Dead Kennedys "Bedtime For Democracy"
15hyl5k.jpg

Not their best album but still a Dead Kennedys album and therefore good. I don't have much to say on this other than I forgot how much I loved Jello's voice and lyrics. A Commercial is the best. More punk should sound like this.
Favorite Songs: Chickenshit Conformist, Do the Slag, "Anarchy For Sale

Primal Scream "Screamadelica"

I don't really know what to say about this album other than it's all over the place and if you want to get high fuck Pink Floyd listen to this. It's great not high too.
Favorite Songs: Shine Like Stars, Inner Flight, Damaged

Linda Perhacs "Parallelograms"

I don't want to say too much on this because I'm reviewing it this weekend. It's good, for fans of Joanna Newsom or Vashti Bunyan.
Favorite Songs: Hey Who Really Cares, Paper Mountain Man, Chimacum Rain
 
My listening tonight...

October Rust - Type O Negative- I love this album so much. It really opened me up to so many new styles of music, and while it may still be their most commercial sounding album, it's just so damn glorious sounding, well composed and just plain fun. Still can't believe Pete Steel passed away April this year... we so lost a great musician/songwriter/personality...

Paul Dempsey - Everything Is True Something for Kate's lead singer/songwriter makes a great solo album, definitely equal of his work with his band, but somehow having a less band oriented more diverse sound, trying some tempos the band don't do, adding sounRAB and textures... really impressive guitar work too.
