Albums You're Digging II

Loved the production on this, definitely ahead of the curve with how much attention it pays to atmosphere, the guitar work in particular stanRAB out, and I sort of can hear the Mars Volta influence. Wouldn't agree that it is incredibly progressive, there are plenty of hip hop acts that push the envelope further as far as experimenting goes.

I should say that the solo at the end of Beautiful Freak is one of my favourite musical moments from 08, soooo good. If only 2mex were a better lyricist.

Warm is probably the best one word I can think of to describe this album. I must have listened to it about 500 times by now. Plus, along with Steely Dan's Aja it's the album responsible for turning me on to a lot of other stuff you could call jazz, so bonus awesome points for it there.
 
It's nothing spectacular but I guess compared to some of the albums he released in the 80s it was. It's kind of a typical post-70s Dylan album. Anyway here's the definitive list of Bob Dylan albums in order of awesomeness.

2. Blonde on Blonde
3. Desire
4. New Morning
5. Highway 61 Revisited
6. The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan
7. Bringing It All Back Home
8. John Wesley Harding
9. Another Side of Bob Dylan
10. The Times They Are A-Changin'
11. Nashville Skyline
12. Time Out of Mind
13. Bob Dylan
14. Oh Mercy
15. Street Legal
16. Planet Waves
17. Slow Train Coming
18. Love and Theft
19. Modern Times

I still haven't listened to Psonic Psunspot yet, but I've heard it's a little weaker than the EP.


Ah, that album is badass. I was a little underwhelmed by their second one though.


Yeah, I feel their first was better but both are pretty decent. Scream of the Butterfly is haunting as hell.


Or even better!
 
Just STFU and listen to it. It has become one of my favourite albums, usually stuff like that is too experimental for my ears but it was so drug fueled and so different, I just can't NOT like it.

Centenaire - S/T (2007)

This one's been getting quite a few spins lately: progressive folk-pop melding with the sort of modern day aesthetic you'd associate with Animal Collective or Espers...yet with a more tribal edge to the percussion and arrangements. What a great find!
