It is a fantastic album, quite an interesting change of direction & the opener is stunning. |

Yea the title perfectly and succinctly describes the album. Real energetic explosions with some really awesome starship vibes. All with the signature Jaga grooves and sound.

Listened to Starfire again yesterday, and I have to agree with you guys, it really is great. As you said, Ian, an interesting change of direction. The added use of electronics makes it sound more futuristic and spacey, but it's still easily recognisably Jaga.

Yep agreeing with you guys big time. I have really fallen for the new Jaga Jazzist album too! Then again I live for added electronics to almost any kind of music
 Another one which, I admittedly only have spent a couple of weeks with, but genuinely have gone completely berserk for is the new Vespero album Fitful Slumbers. Man I'm digging the add-on of acoustic and slightly eastern sounding instruments. Still sounds like Vespero though with a brand new feel to the music. For the guys and gals who'd like to hear what a more technically gifted Tame Impala would sound like; please check out Swedish band The Amazing (yikes what a name!) and their newest Picture You. The vocals are far removed from the aforementioned Aussies and there's a folky note to the music as well, but especially the rhythm section and those 60s sounding touches remind me of them. I do think The Amazing were first (Make that Dungen!). Btw loving the new Moonbuilding 2703 AD from The Orb as well as another new electronic release in Four Tet's two epic journey Morning / Evening. Damn tasty both of them....and I've only had them for 48 hours! Rrrrrrauw |

We found Starfire last Saturday at our favourite independent music store (one of the few left standing), and of course grabbed it immediately. Truly outstanding stuff! It's a pity we missed them when they played here in June, but that was not a very good time for us. The Amazing are... amazing indeed! I didn't know they had a new album out. We'll have to look for it! |

I would imagine Micky loving The Amazing. Lots to love from a Dungen fan pov. S'got that early summer morning feel to it that the Swedes really do beautifully.

It's really great to see people putting away their conservative habits and namedropping anything from Kendrick Lamar to Bjork
 Open-minded = progressing! At least in my book  ...and the 2015th page of my book says this (so far): Anekdoten - Until All The Ghosts Are Gone Elder - Lore Tribulation - The Children of the Night Pobeda - Atlas Stands Citizen - Everybody Is Going To Heaven My Morning Jacket – The Waterfall A Forest of Stars - Beware The Sword You Cannot See Paradise Lost - The Plague Within Shores - Precedents 5R6 - Islands - it'll be out only in September, but it's already on my Top-10 for 2015, and that's NOT gonna change! FKA twigs - M3LL155X EP Arenna - Given to Emptiness Sacri Monti - s/t Dr. Dre - Compton Suis La Lune - Distance/Closure Disappears - Irreal nearr - Pale Youth Mutiod Man - Bleeder Turbowolf - Two Hands Colin Stetson & Sarah Neufeld - Never Were the Way She Was Make Do and Mend - Don't Be Long Swervedriver - I Wasn't Born to Lose You The Amazing - Picture You Black Space Riders - Refugeeum The Grand Astoria - The Mighty Few Meek Mill - Dreams Worth More Than Money Ought - Sun Coming Down Hammerhead - New Directionz Heralds - s/t EP Cold Comfort - Issue De Secours EP Ghostface Killah / BadBadNotGood - Sour Soul Vespero - Fitful Slumber until 5 A.M. Twa Corbies - The Clamouring Bosse-de-Nage - All Fours Cloakroom - Further Out NY In 64 - NY 64 City of Me - Fall EP Vennart - The Demon Joke Agusa - Agusa 2 Tangled Thoughts of Leaving - Yield to Despair Hope Drone - Cloak of Ash Anopheli - The Ache Of Want |

I've seen a lot of praise for the new Anekdoten, yet I am finding it exeedingly hard to get into. To me it sounds like autopilot or, if you will, their last couple of albums thrown in the blender. Maybe it'll come to me though.

A little shout-out to the folks who're into F*ck Buttons. The sideproject Blanck Mass' newest one Dumb Flesh is a most wonderful record. Beautiful melodic sways of electronics stuffed into nice little packages that ooze of this twisted and almost danceable take on 80s dark romanticism and glacial whispers.
Get it while it's hot! |

I wanna talk about how much i love the Algiers album - holy cow. So fresh sounding - just the energy, passion, and pulse put into it all, it's infectious. Pretty much a perfect blend of gospel, hip hop, and post-punk. LOVE itttt.
(Warning: briefly loud at the beginning) So far my AOTY. Edited by Horizons - August 25 2015 at 21:02 |

Wooo! Side note kinda: Your review of the new Toe was awesome to read, man. Giving it a 5* pretty much made me have to get it now. |
