What albums did you listen to today?...continued

Last night:
Cheer Accident - Putting Off Death (actually spinning it again right now. One of those growers. Odd yet delightfully melodic piano driven balladry craziness with beautiful dips into synths and true rock excursions. I'm sold. Avant for peeps who don't necessarily like avant.)
Chicano Batman - Freedom is Free (Just thinking about this album makes me smile. Best feelgood album of 2017 hands down. Early Santana hooks up with Funkadelic. It's on the poppier side of things, but who cares when it sounds this good?)
Rolling Stones - Goats Head Soup (Perhaps my alltime fave Stones studio album. All songs are brilliant imo - especially the lesser known ones like 100 Years Ago (Mick Taylor has always been the finest soloist ever to grace The Stones imo), Can You Hear The Music?, Heartbreaker and last but not least Hide Your Love, which I always loved to bits. S'got this beautiful haunting feeling you only really get from great blues music.)
Com Truise - Iteration (Every synth sound found in 1980s Tom Cruise flicks somehow magically conjured up in this riveting and propulsive electronic music. Great for workouts, chopping carrots or merely shakin dat ass.)

i’ve only recently discovered Goat’s Head Soup. It’s become one of my favorites too, though it’s hard to say why. Just a certain vibe it has.

I have that Cheer Accident one too. I need to let that one grow on me more.

Jean Sibelius - Symphony No. 7 in C Major

Genesis - Foxtrot

Steve: There seems to be a general shortage of bassoonists just about everywhere. It's not just downtown Atlanta. We are experiencing the same issuses here in the northern part of Denmark. Much bigger focus on accordions and fiddles. Maybe find a suitable replacement? Like an oboe or maybe the french horn (always like that one)?
Either way something needs to be blown at Ariel for things to really take off.

I'm glad I'm not the only Mick Taylor fan round these parts (you've got good taste Mårtte!). I also adore his contributions to Sticky Fingers. Sway is one of my fave Stones' tracks. That smooth slide action from Taylor along with his attack mmmmm

You should definitely take another chance with Putting Off Death. I'd start the album backwards for an ulterior passage into pleasure. Last track Hymn is absolutely gorgeous.
Btw Steve, I mentioned this a couple of pages back, but you should check out the new Trojan Horse album Fukushima Surfer Boys. You were the first person I thought of when I heard it.

Samuel: Have you ever checked out Lotus? I love Caravanserai but after hearing the tunes live on Lotus I honestly never spin the original
Nice Canterbury picks.
How did the Flower Kings do?

Yesterday - The Power And The Glory, Gentle Giant

No, but I recently had the chance to get it on vinyl and I passed. I'll look into it.

Mystery - Second Home (Live)
Strawbs - The Ferryman's Curse
Acquiring the Taste - Gentle Giant
Pawn Hearts - VdGG (never let it be said I don't listen to the wise of PA before judging for myself!)

Your first Pawn Hearts listen? Crazy stuff, man!
