Albums You're Digging II

I've only heard Harmony in Ultraviolet actually, so if that is his most recent album, then yes. I only got it recently though, so I'm still not 100% familiar with it all, I just know I like what I've heard.

I love the Internet and it's ability to give me things before they are scheduled to come out in stores. Anyways I will be buying a physical copy of this regardless, but I'm incredibly impatient. OK enough excuses for my piracy. This is Hypocrisy's newest album and is by far one of their heaviest. It continues to trend started with their 2005 release Virus in which the songs are no longer about the paranormal and extraterrestrial, but rather more traditional death metal subjects (torture, violence, addiction, etc.) I'm still undecided if I prefer this one over Virus however I can say that A Taste of Extreme Divinity is another great addition to my ever expanding list of excellent albums for 2009.
 
I'm going to wait until it actually comes out to get it. (Which is really strange for me, usually I'm all over leaks) I admit the four songs I do have from that album are fantastic. That said...

I'm totally addicted to this record

Laura Stevenson and the Cans- A Record

"The Pretty One" get's my vote for prettiest song of the year. This whole album is really wonderful.
 
^ Hard to go wrong with Scott Walker. He's very much a headphones sort of guy.

A few things I'm enjoying-

Shulman - In Search of a Meaningful Moment (2003)
in_search_of_meaningful_moment.jpg


This is electronic music taken from typical enthrallment levels into more divine territory that's reserved for the best of the best. Think Shpongle with an even stronger grasp on atmosphere and use of space and you'd be on the right track for an idea of the sound here, but nothing I can say would be adequate enough. Listen...and learn.

Kaipa - In The Wake Of Evolution (2010)
f-KAIPA24b5347ac00027e88.jpg


Considered to be the Yes/Genesis of Swedish progressive rock history, Kaipa have always been interesting for a prog. band even if none of their modern material has been that great. This new release, however, is a major step up from that mehness, featuring some extremely weird but awesome synths and guitar as well as swell vocal work. First A+ prog. record of the year!

Brian Eno - here comes the warm jets

Brian Eno's first album after he left Roxy Music. It has most of roxy music along with robert fripp and john wetton of King Crimson. Very interesting album. Early glam rock feel with a lot of electronics. If you like eno, this will be your favorite.
landing - seasons

new-gaze? lots of dreamy delayed guitar and soft vocals. Good to sleep to and I don't mean that in a bad way.

Look at that for a brilliant enserable. It's like trip Hop but better. Damn fine.

Hyped in another thread by me but now in it's rightful place. Sort like a less technical Gojira but with plenty of atmospheric/progessive passages. One word: Brilliant.
 
Been very much enjoying my Devin Townsend lately... been going over some of his earlier stuff, listening to Ocean Machine, up to more recent stuff like Accelerated Evolution.... the guy is a bloody genius in my opinion... one of my favorite all time artists...
 
Murs & 9th Wonder - Murs 3:16 The 9th Edition

6b901363ada0afc6053ce010.L.jpg


Haven't played this in a while, really solid album - best of the ones I've heard. On a hip-hop kick since Friday. I listen to a ton of instrumental hip-hop regularly but thought I'd focus on some vocal stuff for a bit.
 
Fursaxa - Mycorrhizae Realm

I've given this a good 4 listens now and it's wonderful. It's a very lush and organic album, full of nice psychedelic effects and lovely strummed guitar as well. Should've checked her out sooner! Clutnuckle, you were spot on about the album being able to elicit some vivid imagery/lanRABcapes in your mind when you listen to it, I love psych-folk albums like this that manage to do that well.



Well I've not listened to their first album yet, I have it now though and will be listening to it very soon. I'm really diggin' this second album though, the songs are very nicely arranged and I like the diverse instrumentation, and there's a definite vibe to the album which I'm really clicking with. I'm excited to hear the first album if you regard it as their best!
