Just a small but enjoyable haul.

Gimmie my headphones now!!! 🎧🤣

Heh, it's awesome, Gary!

I tend to do one massive bender of an order every three-four months with little catch-up titles here and there in between, but yours are like a...constantly flowing stream or something!

arrived

can't wait for the summer holidays!

Been a while since I posted here, but damn it if I don't miss my friends. So yeah writing a post here hoping the robot thang doesn't appear Pinch

I've bought quite a few interesting releases lately - most of em 2017 releases:

Faust - Fresh Air (Great comeback from a band I thought had turned on the eternal autopilot. Guess not because this is every bit as exhilarating and progressive as the Faust of old - sounding like a mix of the early rambunctious days of So Far and something altogether new.)

Julie's Haircut - Invocation and Ritual Dance of my Evil Twin (Saucy Krautrockadelia - brilliantly played too)

Hedersleben - Orbit (Together with Sweden's anonymous psych rockers Goat this band sounds like the modern version of Amon Düül ll...only easier to digest. Whereas Hedersleben is comparable to weed - Amon Düül ll, a wild peyote trip sans pants.)

Slowdive - s/t (Dreampop+shoegaze royalty does comeback and strikes gold amongst all the wretched emo-hipsters lurking the interwebs. I quite like it too...but I prefer Cocteau Twins.)

Parliament - Up For The Downstroke (Bowchikawaaouwaaou)

Tinariwen - Emmaar (I am so into these guys. Imagine this Arabian nomad tribe being introduced to the sounds of the 60s and then heavily inspired by things that passed oh so long ago they set out to make their own 60s music - only filtered through the sand dunes of the Sahara.)

Oh and I've purchased yet another pair of headphones LOL

This time though I went mad - or the seller did at the very least. Either way the Hifiman HE-400 are my new cans Shocked

Here in Denmark these puppies will cost you more than 500 dollars right off the shelf (3400 kroner). I got a used pair (used hah!!! Nahh the cable were used - the cans not so much (I'm not even sure how that is possible unless the previous owner only used the cable for skipping)) for 75 bucks Wacko

Verdict? Errrmm...

Quaeschning & Schnauss - Synthwaves (CD)

I was absolutely curious about this one and was considering putting in a pre-order as well, mate. Have you heard any samples/sound any good?

I rather dig Orbit and it's peculiar violin riffs - yet another nod to Amon Düül ll and Chris Karrer...but it took me a couple of spins before I was able to take it in. Some times I listen to music but nothing registers in my cabeza - especially during the last year where my body has been completely fecked.

Yeah those Hifimans were the deal of the century. Holy smokes they sound great! Planar magnetic too so a little heavy...but still comfortable.

I see you bought the new Ayreon eh? I also purchased some new cheese here the other day but it was an Italian one compared to your Dutch; Parmesan Tongue

Yeah, their albums are an acquired taste, although their second album made a great impression on me at first listen Smile

I can imagime. Comfort is almost as important as sound quality in my opinion.

That's the only Dutch cheese I know and it's delicious Big smile

OK, what does the other album sound like?

I may do the same

It's one of those electronic albums which are great for sunny afternoons. Soothing synths and floating guitars, very much like Jonas Munk's albums.

You'll have to be quick, they only have one copy left.

Ysma - Memoirs in Monochrome
