Albums You're Digging II

Thomas Dolby - The Flat Earth

This is some great laid back tech-pop, by the very talented Thomas Dolby. Not as peppy as "She Blinded Me by Science", this is primarily composed of lush atmospheric electro grooves and some very thoughtful and insightful lyrics. It's kinda cool, he enRAB the album with the single "Hyperactive".

i don't normally go for 'greatest hits' compilations, especially when i have a band's full discography. but this one is brilliant. President Gas is one of those tracks that can put a smile on my face no matter how lousy i feel, and it's a great way to kick off the album. from there, it's pure gold all the way to the end...

Although I've only found out about these albums just over 3 months ago, they're probably some of my favourites.
 
I haven't heard that one yet. But you reminded me that I want to collect all their splits and EPs.

I love the new one more than the other 2 LPs because they seemed to have made everything very fine tuned and thorough, which perfectly compliments the heavier and more progressive sound on this record.

Bar Kokhba - Lucifer: Book of Angels Volume 10
Jazzy, Klezmer-ish(?) music that I'm really digging atm. Not to be confused with John Zorn's Bar Kokhba, although it does have a bit of similarities and John Zorn is involved here as well. Goddamn, keeping up with his releases/side projects is tougher than I thought. No youtube/MySpace I'm afraid.

Edit: Here's one from their previous release -

I think anyone with a passing interest in british guitar music should have the John Mayall album in their collection. I personally am not big on Color Haze I much prefer dead Meadow or the Mystick Crewe of Klearlight,
 
At the moment I'm hooked on Prefuse 73's latest offering, and just spotted a new beautiful downtempo nuraber by Trinah (Rainwatch). The Cool KiRAB album is never off my ipod either.
 
Holy **** that looks like a lot of people. I know sometimes the camera makes the crowRAB look 10 times bigger than they actually were, especially for open air performances like that one. But check it out, it just doesnt go back, it seems to go on for miles either side too.

Great stuff anyway, even though Sabbath do seem to lose some of the impact in the open air and the daylight.

My Sabbath albums often alternate in terms of which I like best but the top 2 seem to only ever interchange with one another and its usually Vol4 thats at the top.
