godspeed you! black emperor - Asunder, Sweet and Other Distress
Thanks @cafreema, I did not know there was a new album out - I just bought a digital copy and will set some quality time aside to listen to it this afternoon! @eMusers sells music....
How is that new GSYBE? I really like them. But I also feel like I could get by with just one really good album by them. It's a good groove, but they are stuck in it.
ETA, the last couple of albums I thought I was increasingly over gy!be; one track in this one is the closest for a while to capturing what I love about the skinny fists album.
ETA2 is there something special about the start of April? It seems as if the floodgates have suddenly opened after a quiet spell: gy!be, Sufjan, Alva Noto, Nils Frahm...I see Soft Moon has a new one too.
I am still in a state of happy surprise that Xerrox Vol 3 is coming out. He originally promised a five-volume series, but with volume 1 in 2007 and volume 2 in 2008/9 and no updates since, but instead a string of releases headed in other directions, I wondered about it occasionally but had got used to assuming that this was going the way of Sufjan Stevens' promise to release an album for each US state. Now I am all glad anticipation for volume 3, because volume 2 remains one of the best things ever. I hope the delay was perfectionism! (And that he gets to four and five at less-than-seven-year intervals! I hope to be in line for the box set some day...)
There's now a soundcloud stream of xerrox isola from vol 3 and there are samples of the whole here..
Don't know if I've mentioned it before, but one of my favorite features of Subsonic is the refreshing page of random albums. Makes it so much easier to scan a large collection for something not listened to in a while that strikes your interest.

I really like that feature in the players I use (right now SmartPlayer) on ipod touch.
@rostasi, yes, I also hear more pathos in #3. Mind you, I never found #2 cold.
OK, I just stumbled across a form feature - apparently using hashtags with numbers does something. Not sure what though.
Lonely Motel is the world premiere recording of songs from the startlingly innovative music and theater work Slide, written for new-music sextet eighth blackbird, an ensemble of wind, string, piano, and percussion virtuosos. The group, with composer-electric guitarist Steven Mackey and singer, actor, and librettist Rinde Eckert, premiered the concert-length work at the 2009 Ojai Music Festival in Southern California, a mecca for cutting-edge music enthusiasts. The same forces perform on the new CD, which takes its title from the final song in the cycle.
Eckert plays the central character, Renard, a fictional research psychologist whose fiancee has abandoned him. The heartbroken Renard reminisces about an experiment he conducted using projections of photographic slides to explore the fallibility of human perception.

Thought I'd follow yesterday's trend!
