Demilich, I invite you in

[Dick Sirloin]

SPIROGYRA - St. Radigunds
MELLOW CANDLE - Swaddling Songs
SIMON FINN - Pass The Distance

^fucking amazing albums


Been going through a bunch of 60s/70s acid-folk lately, maybe I'll end up with a top 10.

 

[Ellestin]

you guys have to linger for a second on German kraut/world/prog/folk under-acknowledged fuckers Emma Myldenberger and Radio Noisz Ensemble, which are basically the same line-up only the second-mentioned has almost no vocals and is more heavily ethno-oriented. Highly personal, sometimes inscrutable musicianship, with much mysticism involved. Tour de Trance is not without a remote Comus vibe, especially track 1 and 2, the latter being one of the most bonerific 10 minutes+ compositions I've heard, and I've heard a few. Those two albums are my number 1 discovery of the year.

^
this was serious

Anyone checked?

 

[Demilich]

I downloaded Yniverze yesterday! One listen, sounded very nice, gonna keep going back to it and see!

I also bookmarked that blog

 

[Dick Sirloin]

Does anyone have the sound files for that SYNANTHESIA album? What about CAROL OF HARVEST? Please please please let me get what I want.

 

[Demilich]

^ what he said!

 

[Dick Sirloin]

I'm trying to come up with albums I NEED in order to make this list fair.

Looking for: SYNANTHESIA, PERRY LEOPOLD - "Christian Lucifer", MOONKYTE - "Count Me Out", SPIROGYRA - "Bells, Boots and Shambles". May have to make an Amazon order.

 

[Demilich]

Ok listen, assholes, I'm gonna post my current favourite album and what I consider to be the greatest thing I've discovered in 2009, and I owe the discovery to a cover that appears on Pearls Before Swine's Balaklava. The track I refer to is "Suzanne," a tune which I had assumed was penned by Pearls Before Swine's Tom Rapp, but my dad pointed out that it is in fact a Leonard Cohen song.

So I check out Cohen's 1967 debut album, Songs of Leonard Cohen

and find that it opens with the original recorded version of that very same song, "Suzanne." It sounds alright, I think, and so do the 10 other original tunes on here. Somewhat Dylan-ish, very melancholy, decidedly NOT psych or hippie or any of that... and what I notice with repeat listens are some of the most expressive, moving lyrics I've heard backed by music influenced by European folk as well as the pop of the day.


Someone better give this a listen when I upload songs later. Anyone heard the guy before?

 

[Dick Sirloin]

Uh...... he's pretty famous, dude. "Songs Of Love And Hate" for the win!

"Balaklava" is a nice little album. I need to hear more PBS.

 

[Ellestin]

Speaking of PBS, if anyone sees a copy of The Use of Ashes for less than $20 or something, please refrain from buying and give me headstart (and I'll give you head). This album is the closest thing to gorgeous I've heard recently. Same request applies to Emtidi's Saat btw.

You Synanthesia album Dickie:

Carol of Harvest are cool too. Dreamy stuff, congenial noodling and way above-average female vocals

SPIROGYRA - "Bells, Boots and Shambles"

essential, you must own that

I need to listen to Perry Leopold some more. The first couple attempts went through my head without leaving a particular trace. Curious about Moonkyte as I write.

 

[Dick Sirloin]

Thanks Ellestin! You probably saved me a lot of $$ just now.

Where did you find that Spirogyra for a decent price? Also: have you seen the PBS box set that just came out? It's their last 4 albums I think....

Try that maybe, $5.12 seems a decent price

Never heard about this box, do you happen to have any more info about it?
[EDIT] ok i saw that, hell it looks amazing but $149 is "a little" more than i can bear right now,...

 

[Dick Sirloin]

Funny. Back in NC I found it used for $60.00, not knowing the usual going price. Damn.

 

[Dick Sirloin]

Just bought that Spirogyra. Next, going for that Perry Leopold and Moonkyte.

WHAT ESSENTIALS AM I MISSING?

 

[Krilons Resa]

st radigunds is spyrogyra's best.

bb&s is pretty sweet too though. never heard the other one.

 

[Ellestin]

WHAT ESSENTIALS AM I MISSING?

Bread Love & Dreams' two first albums

 

[Dick Sirloin]

*coughs*


TRADER HORNE - Morning Way is pretty gnarly.

 

[Dick Sirloin]

Caedmon - Caedmon's Hymn

What is the deal with this right here

 

[Ellestin]

^
one of those one-album bands. Sort of proggier than your usual psych folk fare. Worth every single penny in your pocket. BUt you shouldn't stock up frantically on good music Dick, give each album weeks to sink in. I know the deal, I sometimes wake up finding stuff on my hard drive I have no remembrance of downloading whatsoever.
