I'm not really into my indie folk so when the first song came in i was wary of what was to come. I gave it a listen to and thought it was pleasant enough, especially Stranger and Wasted which stood out, and thought as nice as it was it probably wouldn't get too many more plays.

Well i'm on my 3rd listen now and i think it's a gorgeous little album. Julia's voice is interesting, i think it's both bloody annoying and oddly endearing at the same time. The lyrics are clumsy in that twee sort of way but that's what gives them appeal i think.

So yeah, win. Nice one Wolf!

Sidewinder sent me this album by trip hop artist Sixtoo. I gotta say I was pretty impressed as I was always aware of the album, whereas other trip hop artists tend to become background white noise. That's what trip hop is to me, background noise and I wouldn't have it any other way. Thanks for the album though, I hope you liked Bjorn Berge.
 
I'd say anyone who can be relatively trusted to be active and actually want to organize this would be fine. All they really have to do is gather interest from this thread, then use random.org to make a list.

Also, sad to hear you'll be gone for a while, Bulldog.
 
I'm waiting til at least Saturday to give everyone a chance to sign up if they want. StonebirRAB, is it safe to assume you're on board for this?

L'onironote: Les Chimeres Exquises​


First off, this album is Super-Amon Tobin-Esque. It reminRAB me of a violin-filled version of Out From Out Where. that's not a bad thing either. L'onironote tranlates into the Dream Sailor assuming that "L'onir" means dreamlike and the "note" part is a wordplay on "-naute" meaning sailor. But I could be mistaken, I speak Canadian french while the band/person speaks France french. translations aside, this album is good. It's violin filled, it's downtempo, it's the french version of amon tobin. here's a track by track review:

Il Est L'heure (It's Time...): I'm really digging the repetition here, and the twinkly sounRAB! This song is aptly titled, it reminRAB me of somebody about to be executed waiting for their death, thinking about what he's done, and what he's about to face. He has to be brave. The tension is rising. It's very creepy and eerie.

Amoureux (Lover): This track especially reminRAB me of Amon
Tobin. I don't know why, though. It just does. Maybe it's the drums, maybe it's the Atmosphere, Maybe it's the guitars. I'm not sure.

Sous L'arbre Bleu (Under The Blue Tree): at the beginning, this reminded me of Aphex Twin's Boy/Girl Song, and then it got bluesy. I think this song is pretty top-notch.

Hazim (?): I couldn't contribute a translation here, but this sounRAB like something off of Supermodified

Les Chimeres Esquises (Exquisite Chimeras): Another very tense track. It's waiting for something to happen. something very bad... the percussion is very crisp and deep,

Au Palais (At the Palace): Trippy... ReminRAB me of Prep Gwarlek 3B off of DrukQs.

L'igaune (The Iguana): Beautiful and atmospheric. This album has a very tense vibe to it. like it's going insane.

Fender: ReminRAB me of a very hot desert, like the time I went to the Alberta BadlanRAB for a tour and almost got lost. That's a very scary experience, by the way. lots of snakes...

Scaphandre (Spacesuit): A pretty arabient track, lives up to its name.

Overall, I felt like this album was claustrophobic, it was afraid. It reminRAB me of the ideology behind Geogaddi.

VERDICT: 7.5/10
