What albums did you listen to today?

So much work today and yestarday, so I only managed to listen to one album.
Gong - Camembert Electrique (1971)

Just a single album today, not at work so only listened to the one album:

Ryan Adams - 1989

Ahh, the moment when you buy the CD of an artist you always like but don't follow closely enough to know when they have new albums out, but you always blind-buy their new CD's when you see then on a store shelf, and then you realise on first listen that his once considered idea of covering pop girly Taylor Shift's entire last pop album beginning to end actually came to be and that's what you just bought....

Thankfully it's rather good and it sounds like one of his own albums, just one of his more focused/poppier albums.

Wednesday...

Had an interesting day.

Joe Satriani-- surfing with the Alien. ( easily my favourite offering from him. His best. It's a perfect album. )
The Swans-- The Seer ( good lord this is a musical ass beating. I get the intent of this album and that is why I love it. It's albums like these that are meant for the true Prog lover I feel. )
Hanz Zimmer-- The Dark Knight rises (motion picture score. Best of the batman/Nolan trilogy score wise)
DIO-- holy diver. ( what a vocal performance. )

It turned out rather well, guys, thankfully it sounds more effective as an album than the idea does on paper, if you like the alt-country sound:





And how ironic you mention more Floyd DSOTM covers, Sam, I literally came across this CD at the same time I bought the above album, I saw the cover and thought it was a bad pun but it turned out it was a complete Floyd covers concert from jam-band Gov't Mule! The sound on the clip is a little low, but I think they sound pretty good!

Oh, it wasn't so much to see if you dug them, Sam, just to hear how different they sound from the glossy plastic Taylor Swift versions.

Yeah, not sure if I'd go back and buy that Gov't Mule disc, I kind of find concerts like that a bit of a con, kind of like when Mostly Autumn would do the Floyd concert performances - what's the point?!

Oh, also noticed you listened to that `Love Monster' Zone Six album...that is NOT one I will be buying. It might be one of the most tired yet reliable space rock albums that ticks the right boxes without actually offering exciting music whatsoever. I have the original CD of their debut self-titled album from aaaaaaages ago, must have been in the 90's, and they had an Aussie female singer in the group at the point. That was far more interesting. I bet live they'd be great though.
