Looking very much forward to the new Dungen and Corima. Should be interesting methinks...in each their own way.
Corima is very good but very different from the last one, a lot less Koenji. I like it a lot.
just listened to it for the first time yesterday and that is truth. they certainly carved out more of their own sound this time about (although it does seem a little less intense then their previous...nevertheless, can't see it not making my top 5 come years end.)
I find that rather refreshing actually as I tend to reach for Koenji's Ni if I'm in the mood for some amphetamine fueled madness...that is not to say that i don't enjoy Corima because I do...just nice to see where they will go next.

All new to me Gary...and I tend to seek out psychedelic releases.
Btw have you checked out Causa Sui's most recent 'Return To Sky'?
Baron Crane is the only band listed that I had even heard of before yesterday.
If you're interested in hearing any of these the full albums are on YouTube.
Stoned Diplodocus might be a good one to start with since they use a variety of styles and sounds.
I like the new Causa Sui a lot. I ordered the vinyl version right after hearing it for the first time.
They are definitely on my favorite band list.
Thanks man - will be investigating. One can never have too much brainmelting psych music. Always room for more. Cool you're digging Causa Sui - we have quite the psychedelic tradition here in Denmark and they are, along with Øresund Space Collective, Papir, Spids Nøgenhat, Baby Woodrose, Shiggajon and a whole bunch of others, continuing the style...with great success imo. I really dug the Pewt'r Sessions - think vol 3 is my fave from them up until now...although they are an act to watch in the flesh. Soooo good live...especially with a little space tobacco on the side

Electric Octopus - Belfast, Northern Ireland
This is a new band that I have really gotten into a lot lately. They are an instrumental improvised jam trio who will regularly go into the studio for a full day and, like I said, improvise and jam. Tracks over twenty minutes are not uncommon.
They have released quite a bit this year...
This Is Our Culture - June 2016 (CD)
Colour Atlas - September 2016
Under A Black Moon - October 2016 (CD)
Live On Oxford Island - October 2016
Vibe Factory - November 2016
Be Real - November 2016
Everything is available to download (Bandcamp) but only two CDs so far.
Thanks for the tip, nice band. I'm only seeing Under A Black Moon as a download on Bandcamp though, did they make a CD available some other way?

Man I both love and hate this time of year. There's the pressure of hearing all I want to hear which started a couple of weeks ago for me, at least I'm starting earlier this year.
Thanks Todd for some of your picks on Drew's thread for 2016 releases along with many others for albums I didn't know had been released or I forgot about them. Here we go!
I heartily recommend Dungen's new album Häxan. Taking the vocals completely out of the equation is a daunting feat when a large portion of your sound depends on them...but on here there is nothing screaming for a line or a chorus. Instead we get big waves of wafting mellotron, flute and the kind of wild unhinged guitar sorcery of say Högdalstoppen (Skitt i Alt). It's still Dungen but a more rocking, raw and enigmatic kind of Dungen. Like if someone slipped a little Morte Macabre Symphonic Holocaust into their genepool.

Oh and hi John Please stick your head in this thread as much as you can. We're a wonderfully zany crowd willing to sell you musical sand whenever we feel like it. 2016 is da shizzle and you should get on board this juicetrain asap. Personal recommendations from me to you include: Our Solar System - In Time (Mad Krautjazz from outer space) Violeta de Outono - Spaces (Great new album from them...with a jazzy touch to it no less) The Winstons - s/t (feel good Caravan/early Softs throwback to Canterbury but with an honest and warm feel to the proceedings) Ingranaggi della Valle - Warm Spaced Blue (Huge bombastic prog rock with small hints of psych. Ending track even has something akin to zeuhl) Utopianisti - Third Frontier (Wild and infinitely tight Canterbury-like fusion outta Finland that quite simply will take your breath away) Syd Arthur - Apricity (If you loved the last one you'll dig this one as well. Just remember that the fun REALLY starts after the first three tracks;) Gong - Rejoice! I'm Dead (Old Daevid would've been proud of Kavus and his cohorts. This is a real Gong album - certainly feels like it...and a great one at that!)
Hope all is well with you my friend. Myself, I am wearing red pants and drinking cocoamilk whilst listening to the most recent Goat album Requiem. I'd recommend that as well if you can dig a little modern day Amon Düül ll with your funk-psych-krautfolk-rock

^ Indeed it is! I was thinking how were they going to follow the excellent Allas Sak and so quickly too? An instrumental album is a brilliant choice! I've been overdosing on it for the past week and I must say it's simply beautiful start to end, those mellotrons are a bliss...

I want to pick up that Dungen album you talked about and Our Solar System, I think I got the rest I just need to listen to them.
Ahhh red pants and a tall glass of cocoamilk. Now if you were also dancing to Elephant Tok's album I'd be very jealous.
Ahh you got there without the ninjaways of this thread, kudos good man! Just remember to imagine Our Solar System as these high priests/priestesses performing free form music whilst wearing druid robes and under the influence of some terrifying psychedelic drug. That's how they rolled back when I saw them on stage during the Copenhagen Psych Festival - complete with mister Miyagi on recorder and a completely bonkers intermission a la musical happening 1968 with nonsense reigning supreme. If you don't understand any of this you're already on the right track. Congratulations.

Nice list there Darryl and good to see Death Grips mentioned. I think they are riding a musical high atm that started out back when The Money Store came out.
Btw why no Éléphant Tôk (or Ukandanz)? No kit-kats in Canada?

ET is good for the joints I find. Something like a Spanish Zac de la Rocca teaming up with One Shot. Warms up those joints in a jiffy. Ukandanz is for those who seek the original twist. Sounds like a possessed Ethiopean tweeker singing along to an African take on zeuhl. Fusion for felines and larger animals.
