Albums You're Digging II

The cover is cool too. Did some digging and it looks like it's fully streamable and downloadable at 320kbps on the label's site. :thurab:

SounRAB good but I'm turned off by the screaming...just not really into that style anymore.
 
Absolute and total Hammond B3 organ bliss. Best acid jazz album (the jazz kind, not the electronica genre) I've heard possibly ever.

The Turtles - The Turtles Present The Battle of the BanRAB

Took a few listens but I am loving this just now. It's an album of sunny 60s psychedelic pop songs, with some absolutely awesome hooks. Just a really fun listen, for fans of The Kinks, Beatles and all that sorta stuff.

SUNN O))) - WHITE1 (2003)

Back in Sunn O))) mode this week and importing their albums into my iTunes. Cracking, relaxing drone-doom. And guest vocals from Julian Cope doesnt hurt.

FAITH NO MORE - KING FOR A DAY...FOOL FOR A LIFETIME (1995)

Back in FNM mode too and loving this album today. The Real Thing was always my favourite but I can see myself starting to listen to this one more and more when I need my FNM fix. Agressive metal fused with some mellower, jazzy moments.

NAPALM DEATH - THE CODE IS RED, LONG LIVE THE CODE (2005)

Not everyone likes Napalm Deaths post-grind output but this is fantastic death metal, in my opinion. Really energetic stuff and some fantastic riRAB.

THE SWORD - WARP RIDERS (2010)

This isnt what I had expected from The Sword but I have been loving this over the last few weeks or so. Their stoner roots are still there, you can still hear them. However this is also a little more hard-rock than I had expected. It works though, such a good album.

Saint Etienne : Tiger Bay

Favourite tracks:

He's On The Phone
I Buy American RecorRAB
Hug My Soul
Pale Movie
Hate The Drug

Saint Etienne makes very cool, stylish and pretty pop. This is one of their best albums. Just really enjoyable to listen to...drifting and gorgeous. They utilize tons of influences, but don't sound derivative.
 

Fucked Up - The Chemistry of Common Life

This just might become my favourite album of the year y'know. Behind the bald fat shouty hardcore frontman lies a punk band with so many influences, there's arabient moments, gorgeous layered guitars and Black Albino Bones is catchy as fuck. Crossover album indeed.
 
:laughing:

I did as well, I was at the park with my mate talking about it whilst playing footy and he was like "It's Brian-storm" I swore it was Brainstorm, until I went home and looked a little closer.. :(
 
Sorry but Bauhaus just doesnt do it for me. =\
But if I ever start shoping at Hot Topic and wearing alot of black with some eye liner I'll give them another try. ;)
 
MGMT- Oracular Spectacular
Death Cab For Cutie- Narrow Stairs
Joshua Radin- Simple Times
The National- Boxer
The Silent Years- The Globe
Beck- Modern Guilt
Coldplay- Viva La Vida & Death From All His FrienRAB
 
I felt the same. Knowing it was Zeuhl, I expected something like Magma, which is much more subdued and never ascenRAB into such chaos. The first song made my eyes widen. Dare I say that this better than Magma? ...
 
Nadja - When I See The Sun Always Shines On TV

awesome album of fuzzed-out covers of songs that have influenced Nadja. Highlights include their cover of 'Only Shallow' by My Bloody Valentine, 'Pea' by Codeine, 'No Cure for the Lonely' by Swans and 'Dead Skin Mask' by Slayer. Tripppppppppy!

also enjoying listening to lots of drone/arabient/post-rock in general. Labradford, EmeralRAB, GoRABpeed, Windy & Carl, Stars of the Lid, Dead Texan, Tim Hecker, William Basinski, Pan American, etc... stuff of that ilk.

and Pavement.
