Association P.C. - Sun Rotation. It's one of those great discoveries I've made, I'm really proud of. The band's second offering is equally great to their outstanding debut. This one is a lot more electronic, at times even krauty, but it definitely is a straight-up jazz-fusion album with free-jazz influences. It's full of beautiful Rhodes, great guitars, and funky grooves.
Wishbone Ash - Argus. It's one of my favorite albums from the heavier side of prog rock. Is it that heavy? Probably not. I really enjoy the romantic, even poetic quality with its sort of ancient, Roman, pre-medieval concept of war. Great album!
Agitation Free - Malesch. I like Agitation Free, I really do, but today has not been such a great day for me personally and it just did not seem to "spark" like two of the previous albums. It's a good one, though.
Popol Vuh - In Der Garten Pharaos. Wonderful ambient music. Popol Vuh always saved their compositions from sounding simple, uninteresting, and repetative. It always has something that puts it above ordinary cosmic music. And this album is a perfect representation of that.
Steamhammer - Speech. Steamhammer were one of my favorite prog rock bands, before I started listening to prog rock. I really appreciated their bluesy material, which I still consider top shelf. However, this one is drastically different from their previous, blues-fueled releases. It cannot be put into a sub-genre. It's definitely close to prog rock. It's dark, mysterious, dynamic, and varied. This is highly recommended!
Embryo - Rocksession. Based on "someone's" recommendation, I expected this to be a good representant of cosmic krautrock. And Rocksession was something much different. It's a very good albums with an exotic sound that fuses jazz-rock with world music. Nice!
Ashra - New Age Of Earth. The recipie to really enjoy this album is to sit by the lake. I did so, just reading the book. The sun was going down slowly and Manuel Gottsching's beautiful, striking soundscapes accompanied this fantastic experience. This is some extremely good music!
Pachyderm - Two Weeks Of Spring. Pachyderm are a modern Canadian band aiming at that authentic, krautrock sound. Their style is at times similar to Ash Ra Tempel, as well as Gila. They are conservative with the use of electronics, instead they rely greatly on vocals and acoustic guitars. They have some really nice moments, although I skipped a few places.

This was my day. Man, after all, it feels krautrock is a pretty small sub-genre. I've been listening to it intensely for the last month probably and I feel like I've ran out of things to listen to and I simply don't enjoy many bands, because of searching for that non-existant "ideal sound" of mine. I bet I'm wrong, but it feels that way. I've asked for some recommendations as to non-fully-electronic "kosmische musik" on one of the groups on Facebook and out of about 40 suggestions, only two or three were something new. I feel like cutting down on listening might help me in enjoying the music more.
Also, I'm going to see Tortoise live tomorrow.

They Might Be Giants - "Join Us"
The Police - "Reggatta de Blanc"
Saint Pepsi - "Hit Vibes"
Yes - "Going for the One"
Chuck Person - "Eccojams Vol. 1"
Mudhoney - "Superfuzz Bigmuff Plus Early Singles"

Very straightforward rock songs with the slightest of proggy frills, sounding a little like Steven Wilson’s music if he was happy to settle for an indie/rock sound (it’s even more straightforward than his work with `Blackfield’). Beggs has a good voice, but there’s something...crushingly dull about the disc, I can't work what it is? It's very melodic and easy to listen to on a surface level, but after 20 minutes I was thinking `Yeah, OK, I get it...time to move on to something interesting’. It’s like a much less satisfying version of the Sound of Contact album `Dimensionaut’, which still provided more proggy moments. Not exactly having `buyers regret’ as such, but certainly ready to banish to the back of the shelf already. Perhaps, at best, it might become a background listen at work eventually.

I heard a couple of songs and I didn't feel like checking out the rest of the album


La Maschera di Cera - s/t
Lorenzo Montana & Mick Chillage – Deviazoni Cosmiche (It's really good, Michael I thought it would be chilled out but the beats make the music more dynamic.)
Billie Holiday - Lady Sings the Blues
Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble - Couldn't Stand the Weather
