Monopol - Weltweit The Police - Outlandos d'Amour Lena d'Água - Perto de Ti (More Prog-ish than I expected.) Van der Graaf Generator - The Quiet Zone/The Pleasure Dome (I liked this one at first listen.) Rui Veloso - Fora de Moda Sankt Otten - Engtanz Depression 10000 Russos - s/t Pristine - Reboot Plank - Hivemind Klaus Schulze & Pete Namlook - The Dark Side of the Moog Vol.6 (I wonder if they named it "The Final DAT" because it has lots of spoken parts. It's the most Techno so far.)

 Maybe there was an error with the file uploads? I downloaded it on WAV the other day and it didn't sound that way, and neither does the CD.
 I put my copy on a pile to rip, getting ready for the upcoming Summer  No, but you got my attention  |

The production trap has really hit me hard during recent years. I may have an allergy...
Yeah I have made a habit out of ripping new purchases almost immediately when I get them - except for the rare mini vinyl that my laptop won't read!!! Dammit. Great listings here folks! ...and may I add a great review of the new Waters album, Michael. I don't share the same sentiments but was drawn to it like a moth to a flame. Cool to see this old pensioner getting some love over the interwebs. Me yesterday: Faust - Fresh Air PFM - Stati di.... Forest Swords - Compassion Eldberg - Par er Heimur Hugans (this album needs more attention from old school prog fans. Wow this is brilliant!) Gas - Narkopop Reve General - Howl The Comet Is Coming - Channel The Spirits Klaus Schulze - Privee |

^ Nice heavy day! Yesterday: The Police - Regatta de Blanc (I liked the debut better, they don't know when to finish a song here.) Ozric Tentacles - Strangeitude (Thanks for the review, Michael!) Seventh Wave - Things to Come Plank - Animalism Träd Gräs Och Stenar - Tack för Kaffet Hedersleben - Die Neuen Welten (I wish they'd make another side-long epic, it just works better than several short tracks.) Pink Floyd - Obscured by Clouds (Obscured by the previous and following album, but I'd take this over side A of Meddle any day. It has so many great contributions from Rick.)

Thanks, Sam! I've been spinning that one endlessly lately because a few weeks ago I came across a second-hand double CD set with both `Pungent Effulgent' and `Strangeitude' on it. I've known `Strangeitude' back to front for years, but I was in desperate need of replacing my vinyl copy. It looks great on the surface, but it was riddled with endless crackle! It's such a great album from them! Really nice to see some `Obscured' love too, that one gets a little too easily dismissed! I loved it as soon as I heard it, and although it's fairly lightweight, it's just so easy to listen to. As you said, lots of really nice Rick moments throughout. And I agree 100% about taking it over side A of `Meddle' too.

^ That's great! I never came across any of their albums. When I saw them last year, they played at 3:30 and the merch stand had closed a few hours earlier.
Sounds like a bad case of dirt and static, I bet a vinyl cleaning machine would get rid of the endless crackle. I had quite a few of these in my collection but they play like new now. Yeah, it's easy to the ears but there's still a lot of detail and complexity for an attentive listen. I think this album is a farewell to the old days (like the Farfisa on the last track) while introducing to their more popular style. Roger's song "Free Four" is easily the worst, in my opinion. If it wasn't for David's contribution I would probably skip it.

Funny how some things work. I was listening to Gadi Caplan's debut Morning Sun last night just before turning in and thought to myself: 'wow this is like the second coming of Obscured by Clouds'
There is a gentle vibe to the album that really do relind me of ObC. Add to that the soft vocals that sound like a young (trained) David Gilmour. The world is small. Yesterday: Gadi Caplan - Morning Sun Franco Battiato - Fetus The Orb - COW (Chill Out World!) Julies Haircut - Invocation... Tangerine Dream - Electronic Meditation Adrian Younge & Venice Dawn - Something About April Goat - Requiem Homunculus Res - Come Si Diventa... |

^ Yeah, I remember that lovely album. Cosmic Ground - Live Ash - Meltdown Mike Oldfield - Return to Ommadawn (THE comeback of 2017!) Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon (Quad mix. The 5.1 mix is more atmospheric but this one is full of wacky surround effects, I liked this one way more. The mix is also very different from the stereo, you can hear some tracks more easily than others (there were some I never heard before). I also liked the lead/backing vocals on the front and rear center. It sounded very fresh and that's quite an achievement!)

Hey Sam, you've played both albums by Ethiva recently so what do you think? I have both on numbered vinyl and I'm very happy with them. |

Yesterday:
Various - Happy Birthday to You, But You Weren't Listening A beautiful present I received from José (DeadSouls) for my birthday. A self-made compilation of live recordings some of my favorite Canterbury tracks with titles modified or changed completely so I have to guess what the next band is! Definitely one of the most inventive presents I ever got in my life. Thank you so much, José!  |

You make a valid point about the vocals. I've always been picky about vocals in the type of music i like and usually prefer instrumental. Sometimes I'm more tolerable if the music is good and the vocals are minimal. Generally, if it's not screaming, death growl or Canterbury I can put up with it.
