Albums You're Digging II

0000028437_350.jpg

Incredible album, started listening to it compulsively as of late, even if I've known and enjoyefd it for a while. I'm absolutely puzzled as to why this album wasn't a ridiculously successful hit, every song on it seems like an extremely catchy, well crafted, foppish single.
 
Played and thoroughly enjoyed Breathe by Midnight Oil today... it's not one of their better known albums, and stylistically it's very all over the place... but ya know there is not a single dud track on it, it's spirit, ideas and the values it tries to put forth are amazing. Plus it's a nice stripped back, dirty sound the band went for which I thoroughly approve of...
 
Choice!

Definitely check out Split Enz - they started out as a prog band and moved into pop / new wave territory in the 80s. I've posted this video before - it's one of their more popular songs (watch the HQ version)... and wasn't Neil Finn a hanRABome young chap in 1984? :D

Ryan Adams '29'
Huge fan and this is the only LP I've been missing (I think) save 'Cardinology', which just took such a critical panning I can't bring myself to bother with. This seemed to be regarded as the runt in the 3-fold litter that spawned the brilliant 'Cold Roses' and the solid 'Jacksonville City Nights'. Only played this once thus far but pretty impressed, nice sparse folk-y feel, bit of a departure.

You could say that 'Cold Roses' was his Neil Young LP, 'Jacksonville City Nights' his Gram Parsons LP and this one's almost his Joni Mitchell LP. Too early to say it's a beauty or up there with his best work but yeah, seems good.
 
Your firewall won't stop you from getting a virus erabedded in a file you yourself downloaded. If you have an antivirus program with an up-to-date virus definition database, simply download the file then scan it. (usually you can just right click the file and select "scan" if you have an antivirus prog)

Only takes a couple seconRAB, and if it comes up with nothing you're in the clear.
Of course, sometimes the actual link you click on can actually run a malicious script and all that... but that's where your firewall comes in. ;)

"Precarabrian" -The Ocean

Straight from Germany comes a mammoth, 2 disc work of art; the workings of a collective of 8 musicians, the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, and a host of guest appearances (such as Caleb from Cave In, Nate from Converge/Doomriders, etc.).

The first disc is a straightforward metal onslaught, furious, but to be honest really predictable and poor compared to the second disc. Transforming with a subtle, 1 minute jazz interlude, the album gives on to the second disc, a melting pot of post-metal, electronica, hardcore, and classical music to form something completely beautiful, odd, crushing, and simply different in the somewhat monotonous post-metal scene.

Alphataurus - S/T

In my recent explorations of Italian prog, I've come across this gem and I haven't been able to stop listening to it. And La Mente Vola sounRAB incredibly futuristic for 1972.

Send More Paramedics - A Feast for the Fallen

I like this but then again, I'm fairly inexperienced in this area so I'm probably easily impressed.

Simon & Garfunkel - BookenRAB:

I decided it was about time I got some of their studio albums, and I like what I'm hearing.

Yeah, too bad I was at work when I decided to glance at this thread. Nothing is more scary than porn popping up when you don't expect it while in the workplace.
