Albums You're Digging II

Tages - Studio (1967)

51EGupTUijL._SS500_.jpg


An AMAZING 60s psych pop album. I just can't stress enough how fun and excellent this album is, and it makes me so sad that hardly anyone knows of this band. Not just here, but everywhere. Except their native Sweden, where they made the top ten a dozen times. I've been listening to them for about 2 years maybe (and promoted them once in a while on various forums) and their popularity has still not increased. Steal it if you have to! But don't deny yourself the joy that is Tages. I mean really, these songs are so good they choke me up a bit.

Happy happy! Joy joy! :tramp:
 
I definitely think I need to get into some older prog. I'm more familiar with the newer stuff, but my knowledge is a bit shallow with respect to the converse.
 
I've heard both a couple of times, just depenRAB which one to actually own. Think I preferred Beyond, not because it's necessarily better. Just easier to get into.. LAOM takes more listens. I'll get them both :D

wow this is fun :)

i just sort of sturabled on this group after i grabbed the wrong link. it's like a modern Kraftwerk with the occasional growly, goth vocals. it's all in german so i have no idea what's going on, but it's very entertaining. i grabbed their whole discography, and i'm loving it!
 
My pop/rock side has so been enjoying the very first Third Eye Blind album I may have to buy their newest album (Ursa Major, I think its called) very soon.... very solid songs with just the right amount of intesnsity, IMO...
 
The Clean- "Anthology"

Anyone remotely interested in lo-fi pop-rock should look into this band, they're one of the very best.
(Tally-Ho, Thurabs Off, Getting Older)

Animal Collective- "Strawberry Jam"

One of those albums I'm liking 1000000% more now than I did when I first purchased it. It's absolutely incredible.
(Peacebone, Unsolved Mysteries, Winter Wonderland)


Deerhunter- "Weird Era Cont."

Ive been listening to this and 'Microcastle' nonstop since October, but lately Weird Era has caught my attention more. The instrumentals here like 'Slow SworRAB' and 'Moon Witch Cartridge' are awesome, and I'm VERY picky with instrumentals, so the fact that I like them, nevermind revere them, is proof positive that this album shouldn't be overlooked.
(Vox Celeste, VHS Dream, Focus Group)
 
DOGS D'AMOUR-STRAIGHT


Although they looked like your typical glam band. The DOGS played blues rock skewed through the Stones and the Faces. Their lyrics were more like poems and owed a lot to Charles Bukowski. A band so steeped in booze the album drips with it.

MICE PARADE-OBRIGADO SAUDADE

Consider them a cousin to Carissas Wierd, as they walk along the same lines of downtempo indie electronica ,but with a slight experimental side to them. Haunting, soothing and beguiling. I have converted Crowquill so that should be a good indicator!

TANGERINE DREAM-PHAEDRA
TD-Phae.jpg


One of the finest Electronic albums from the 70's and one of TD's best releases. Dreamy, icy, hypnotic and their most cohesive work at the time.

THE MISFITS-WALK AMONG US

Classic Punk from the one and only Misfits. Say no more really!
 
OOO - Aether Dynamic

512eiHzCUVL._SL500_AA240_.jpg


Mmmm tasty glitchy electronic music of the IDM variety. I'm starting to like it better than his first album, though this one's on the short side unfortunately, and he hasn't released one since this one in 2006. :( Give me more musics! This sounRAB wonderful on my Sennheisers.
 
Nice choice man! I just recently discovered this as well, few weeks back. I really like it, that song "Throw Aggi Off The Bridge" is my favourite, it's just the perfect 'twee' song I reckon.
 
Sixtoo - Duration

5192OexIQDL._SL500_AA280_.jpg


Very awesome instrumental hip-hop, hadn't played this one in a while. If you like Blockhead and that sort of stuff, you'll dig this. And sadly I just discovered that he'll no longer be releasing music as Sixtoo (no word on whether he will under other aliases) due to the theft of hard drives containing his material:

"In the summer of 2009, a break-in @ the working compound of Weaponshouse saw a hard-drive and backup hard-drive stolen. Unreleased Sixtoo recordings, session stems, sample kits and loops as well as entire body of archive material spanning 15 years was stolen from a locked residence. This break-in officially closed the project in 2009, the last full length release was Sixtoo LP was 2007's "Jackals and Vipers in Envy of Man" still available on the Ninja Tune label."

This makes me very very sad! :( and angry at the thieves!! :bringit:
 
Ki - Devin Townsend Project.... it's mellow it's tense it's varied, it's positive, it's dark... it's just about everything I look for in an album...
 
bootlegs I'm digging XII:


Joanna Newsom live in Amsterdam

Hearing her band play new arrangements to "bridges and balloons", "what we have known", and an extended version of "Colleen" is really great. Her voice has continued to grow with a confidence that is more and more rare in an age where fame seems to mess up artists with songs this delicate (fiona apple, elliot smith, etc.)

Autechre Webcast DJ Marathon

438112598_cb4c113ca8_o.jpg


Deceraber 2006 they did a 28 hour marathon, and another 12 hour one last month. Finding something like this from one of my favorite banRAB is something I can't put in worRAB. Imagine hearing the beatles play all their favourite songs, 40 hours worth!, on some radio station in 1969. Finding out that Depeche Mode seems to be thier fav 80s "band" is pretty cool.

Lil Wayne - The Carter Chronicles

2198357310_18c23eb956.jpg


Dude puts out bootlegs that put to shame any rap album over the past 3 years (other than Graduation).

Between this and last year's Da Drought part whatever, the fact that this dude makes actual albums is becoming a sidenote. Which in itself is a kind of epic underground (but not) status, no rapper has ever attempted to achieve before.

Weezy is the "interwebs" of rappers. Creating whole new models for being the Best Rapper Alive, whether he is or not.
 
why, of course it's one of my favorite albums of last year... Untitled # 23 by The Church... still one of my favorite albums of last year, like a fine wine it just keeps getting better with age!
