Really interesting stuff, love the instrumentals there is so much going on with the horns and guitars and drums but it is all put together so well. Love the vocals too.
 
Ahhh, pulse, what a great album it was! I had the deluxe packaging version with the little pulsating LED in the spine part of the cover... that cthing actually kept flashng until a couple of years ago... pretty remarkable, I thought... I actually read somewhere about how to change the battery for that light... but I am really not sure if I am pedantic enough to try...
 
Fun band, their lyrics are just rhyming about nothing really, nonsense about getting your shades and water pistol and stealing the sun, but despite them being simple they're decent lyrics.

They asked me why I looked like a lobster, I blamed it on my ex who went to uni and I lost 'er. - love that line.

I bet it's a good album to drive to. :D

Paul Weller loves them, apparently their next album will be more politicised.
 
Led Zeppelin - Houses of the Holy

I've yet to hear Presence, In Through the Out Door, and Coda in their entirety, but I can confidently say that this is my favorite Zeppelin album. Not every song is perfect ("The Crunge", eww) but it's darn close otherwise.

Fuuuck...if any Zeppelin song was ever too short, it's "No Quarter".
 
Glad to hear you liked it! That was one of my first jazz albums too. Considering your love of IDM and post-rock, I bet there's a lot of jazz out there that you'd really like.
 
I have an Aerosmith bootleg from 1983 when Tyler had totally lost the plot. He spenRAB most of the time rarabling in between songs about nothing keeps stopping the band all the time and was generally high as a kite. At the end of the gig you hear this guy shout out '8 SONGS? I WANT MY FUCKIN MONEY BACK'
 
I picked this up a few months ago, and it is easily now one of my favorite post rock albums. Absolutely amazing. And Dandelion Gum... that's one of my favorite albums of all time. It's a shame the follow up was such a let down. If you haven't heard it yet, The House of Apples and Eyeballs (with The Octopus Project) is fantastic as well.

I've been in a post rock mood lately for some reason, and this is up there pretty high in my personal favorites.
 
Woah I guess I've got a circus theme going on here...

Neutral Milk Hotel - On Avery Island

Mr. Bungle - Mr. Bungle

I'm still gay for Patton.
 
Drop - Within And Beyond - I do not branch out of classical music all that often, but this seems to be a very dreamy album which I picked up on recently!!
 
The Clonious - Between the Dots

This is such a good album. An electronic base mixed with instrumental hip-hop (a bit of glitch-hop I suppose), nu-jazz, and neo-soul. If you like Flying Lotus, Kelpe, Architeq, and some jazz in your instrumental hip-hop, I suggest you check this out. Its only fault is that it's a tad overlong, though still solid to the end. But I easily find things overlong so it may not be a big deal for you.
