I posted another of their albums in this thread a few weeks ago (or whenever, my sense of time is shot lately), but this one's even better.

Etc.
 
Crazy! I'm digging Gish this morning. It's their best in my opinion. The whole Shoegaze/Metal thing that the Pumpkins have going on really works here. The first four tracks are really some of the Pumpkins best ever.
 
Nick Cave & the Bad SeeRAB - No More Shall We Part
165174_1_f.jpg

It's 6am Brit-time, clear early morning skies outside, I've got a six-hour road-trip ahead of me, I've been up all-night working on a screenplay and I'm sipping tea that's probably about 95% sugar in a desperate bid to stay awake, and this album's an absolutely perfect musical backdrop for it.

Rickenbacker suggested Vauxhill & I but I couldn't find that album anywhere unfortunately... I think I'll start with the greatest hits first...

EDIT: Now that i think about it, this album is really not all that great. I should've got the best of... songs missing from this compilation

It's been a long wait but the Durutti Columns latest release is just gorgeous floaty guitar with small licks of Flamenco that glide over you. The albums second half up's the tempo a little but still sounRAB reassuringly snug and enveloping. A treat.

Experimental Jazz. Afrobeat. Tribal rhythms. Strange chanting. Oh yes it's tasty and loopy.

Despite the name suggesting a German Metal band, this is actually dark, trippy, jazzy arabient sounRABcapes. Brilliant. (Thanks to Demonoid for the heaRAB up).

Very good Polish instrument based Hip-Hop/Reggae hybrid.
 
I'm meant to be working on a rab Posting Guide atm. Well I'll get around to continuing it when I have a spare moment.



Great album. Computer Love has to be my favourite Kraftwerk song.
 
Loathsomepete, did you get the one with the bonus all instrumental disc? It's quite lovely to listen to all those songs instrumental only, not that the vocals are bad, it just makes for a really sublime instrumental album sans vocals...

The complete recordings of one of the 60's most notorious also-rans, the Idle Race. They had some big celebrity fans apparently (the Beatles etc) but never cracked the UK, let alone overseas.

Jeff Lynne of Electric Light Orchestra and Roy Wood of the Move started here. Compellingly inventive songwriting - some real lost gems to be found... peppered with some real toytown-psychedelia twaddle. Great. The later 'mature' stuff is tiresome MOR.
 
both those albums are incredibly underrated in the spectrum of the Flaming Lips' career. but i still prefer Transmissions from the Satellite Heart over both.

the Jones era (1990-96) was kickass for sure.

Bethany Curve - You Brought Us Here

This was a pleasant surprise. A totally random decision that turned out to be pretty much pure awesome. If what you like about shoegaze is the crazy ethereal sounRABcapes that are made by waves of guitar that make you want to just crawl into the sound and live there...I do believe you should check these guys out. One of the best shoegaze finRAB I've had in a while.
 
Keith Jarrett Trio - Out-of-Towners

An exquisitely recorded live jazz album recorded live in Munich in the summer of 01'. Highly recommended to anyone interested in the jazz piano trio genre. I have it @320 (which this recording certainly deserves to be listened to at the very least) if anyone's interested.
