What are you listening to now? (part 2)

Bad Thoughts

I can't think of better examples of the influence of Cool Jazz on the Avant Garde.

But we finally broke a 1000 on the last thread! Oh, alright:

If this is how a green bad ass looks like, I'm all for it ;-)


Green Milk from the Planet Orange - City Calls Revolution - (Beta-lactam Ring Records 2005)

One of my last purchases from Amie and by mistake I only downloaded track 4. . . Scheisse !

Interesting - I picked up the Green Milk from an Orange Planet albums in my final hall too...

thomnottom

I love Guvera!

With wide lapels and a gold Lincoln Continental is how I roll.

Takes me back to some fun times, leather pants and all.

Rec'd here as a solid Amie Street purchase, glad I got it as it's a deeper dive in the same vein as Bei Bei.

thomnottom

Awesome. I miss Amie already.

Doofy

Pretty much the coolest guy in the history of the whole wide world.

Doofy

Yow. Still a buck at Amazon.

frogkopf

Get the Amazon special, did you?

thomnottom

When you don't know what to listen to, it's always nice to have someone ask your opinion of an album.

P.S. elwoodicious, what do you think of that one? I was torn on whether or not to d/l it.

cafreema

Thank you Guvera!

I picked up most of the Can collection the first month that I joined.

Doofy

Really nice Guvera pickup. First record by Grant Green, among other attractions.

Bad Thoughts

Screw Allmusic's caveats. This is awesome.

@Bad Thoughts - I just picked up Components from Guvera, and plan on spending quality time with it this eventing.

elwoodicious

@froggie, I'm a daily deal slut.

@thom, its Gogol Bordello. I enjoy them now and then and this release is pretty much like all the others, sort of like Balkan Beat Box. When you are in the mood for something quirky that might make your co-workers mildly uncomfortable because it isn't the latest Katy Perry remix or Jack Johnson Curious George tie-in. ;-)

Bad Thoughts

@PLong42: I can't tell any of these Blue Notes apart anymore, whether its Hutcheron, McLean, or Hill. But when I hear those vibes, I start feeling all loose and metaphysical. Makes me want to groove to Martin Buber.

elwoodicious

@Doofy, thanks for the heads up on that SHJ release. Awesome.

Marcus Fjellström - Schattenspieler - (Miasmah 13. september 2010)

With a title that translates as "Shadowplayer", this new album from the excellent Marcus Fjellstrom is quick to set the scene. Combining wonderfully crackly ambient textures with ancient sounding classical instrumentation, Fjellstrom's music is perhaps like a sonic equivalent to the cinema of the Brothers Quay or Guy Maddin in its stylised and revised recreation of something old, monochromatic and somehow already familiar. It's fairly commonplace to find ambient or dark-ambient works that channel this sort of run-down aesthetic , but Fjellstrom goes somewhat further by using real orchestration and then aging it. Consequently, there's so much more invested in Fjellstrom's music and his soundscapes are far richer than the kind of loop-driven, predominantly electronic material of his contemporaries. Particular highlights arise during the creaky, percussion-driven Liquid Fire and the incredible woodwinds of Untitled 090616, but this marvellous album is best digested as a whole.
