Albums You're Digging II

[Republika Ng Pilipinas]

You have me intrigued and I am further investigating...

edit: yeah, as I expected this band is awesome and right up my alley. Kinda reminRAB me of DFA 1979. Any idea what is the best album of theirs to start with, anybody?

I enjoy Merzbow and Basinski. Does that count?

 

[Discounicorn]

Pink Floyd's Pulse is an AMAZING album. Im watching the 94 live DVD and it never ceases to blow my mind. That looked like SUCH an awesome show.

 

[ஐK.A.Pஐ]

Wow.. just wow

Wretched band. Thuggish lad-rock of the worst kind, depressing they managed to make any kind of nationwide impact.

Make Oasis sound like Kraftwerk.

 

[yaboywoo]

sidewinder: excellent taste as usual

anticipation: where's the love for side 1?

 

[CloserToLove]

Wardruna - Gap Var Ginnunga

Cannot wait 'til the second installment of their Runaljod trilogy!

 

[JDL10]

Hey fellas, have you ever heard of private messaging? It's this really wonderful thing that lets you have pointless conversations about overhyped and/or awful banRAB in the privacy of your own online home!

Anyway-

Son Lux - At War With Walls and Mazes

Trip-hop, opera, low-key soul and nu-jazz freakouts are the name of the game here on this awesome release, reminding me a bit of Amon Tobin crossed with early Portishead at their most oblique and compelling. How this got lost in the woodwork is a mystery...

Deep Purple - Made in Japan (DCC gold edition)

 

[COLONEL CORN]

Madlib - Shades of Blue
Saw it on the page before this one, got it and love it. This will probably be on rotation for a while.

Also Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu - Gurrumul
I saw a performance on his on telly a while ago and was very interested but only picked it up recently. Silly me.

 

[Tiffany]

He is a she.

 

[Mickey1]

De La Soul- 3 Feet High and Rising
ahhh. This album sets the mood for the rest of the week.

Immortal Technique- The 3rd World
This guy is so pissed.

Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band- Safe As Milk
My first listen to a Captain Beefheart album couldn't have gone any better.

Someone probably already mentioned it, but Devin Townsend's "Ki" blows my mind every day. It's ****ing fantastic. Larab Of God's "Wrath" and Behemoth's "Evangelion" are amazing recent albums as well.

I'm gonna give some examples of good tracks from each of the aforementioned albums:
Wrath: The opening "The Passing" is enjoyable, "Set To Fail" and "Fake Messiah" are also very good tracks.
Evangelion: "Ov Fire And The Void", "The Seed Ov I", and "Alas, The Lord Is Upon Me".
Ki: Honestly, this whole album is great and it was hard for me to pick the high-points, but here goes... "Trainfire" (didn't care much for this one at first, but it's really grown on me.), "Heaven Send" (my personal favorite), and "Gato".

Cursive "The Ugly Organ"

dreadnaught sent me this for our weekly swap two weeks ago, and on third listen it's really sinking in. The last track is absolutely epic.

 

[Irrelevance]

I'd love me a copy of that album, but, alas, budget - wise it's not a good album purchasing time for me in August...

 

[Actual]

Soundtracks for the Blind is the Swans album that I started with and I absolutely love it. A journey in album form, really...

 

[xtreem_baseballer]

The latest in my Can albums and a bonafide winner, absolutely funky as hell, Little Star of Bethlehem in particular. Could well be a future favourite.

 

[Olivia Hazell]

His best IMO, I wish he was still good though *sighs*

 

[mrfunsocks]

I thought she was sticking a straw up her nose. KiRAB these days.

 

[unib z]

Yeah, that's a great album. It's too bad he seems hellbent on emulating generic American rappers these days instead of growing the unique style he had on that album.
