^^ Thanks, Will. From your list I particularly like Animals followed by Free Hand. Also like the Todd Rundgren and Jethro Tull. I checked our Romantic Warrior not so long ago again and found much more enjoyment in the album. Sometimes it just does depend on my mood, what I'm most into at any given time, and what particular music from an album catches my ear.

With Samuel's list: I know we share a lot of musical loves in common, and so interesting to see as many album names I am unfamiliar with (means more for me to check out). :) I do love Le Poison Qui Rend Fou, Weidorje , Spiral and The Soft Parade. I know the Mastodon quite well and should listen again.
I first thought of Susanne Sundfør's Ten Love Songs for Crossover but you had already mentioned that album :) I'd be curious to know what you'd make of that Banda do Casaco album (unfortunately the official stream sounds worse than the original CD remaster). The Soft Parade is genuinely my favourite album, I never understood the low ratings.
I generally find the Metal genres tiresome, the albums are often long and lack dynamics (not to mention the crushed cymbals and double kick drums I find unpleasant), but it's not really the case of that Mastodon album. Still, I'd get rid of a couple of tracks and I can only listen to it as background music.


Samuel. That Susanne Sundfør is a wonderful album. I remember not liking The Soft Parade very much when I first heard it (my brother had it in his collection) but it really grew on me. As for the Banda do Casaco album, I have been listening to that for some time (over 20 minutes in now) and am really digging it and intrigued. I will continue listening. There's quite a lot to it in terms of variety/ variation, and it would take multiple spins to properly absorb it all, I feel. What I'm hearing now is bliss. Wonderful album! The stream is not the best quality vinyl rip, but that doesn't bother me. Thanks so much for bringing it to my attention. :)

Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson
