This is what I'm spinning:  Not quite as much interaction between The Melvins and Lustmord as I had expected, I was banking on something more like Boris' collaborations with Merzbow. It's a very interesting record though, it's like going through a ruined city belonging to some impossibly decadent lost civilization while on some serious hallucinogens, then occasionally getting both acid flashbacks to said civilization's fall and to this one's dystopian future.

^Nice analysis there Simon 
I am listening to, what for me perhaps is, album of the year 2013. It's certainly up there with the best of them: F*ck Buttons - Slow Focus

Haven't played that one in many years......I'll have to pull it out though I don't recall it making much of an impression on me.

I'm crazy about it, and have been so ever since the first time I heard it.
It's like a wondrous meeting between Jefferson Airplane and Amon Düül ll.

GHOST - "In Stormy Nights"
A more electric album from them, includes a cromagnon cover (!) and a 28 minute freakou in addition to the customary psychedelic Japanese folk.

It sounds like Neurosis....and then not really.......in a good way  You can certainly hear a strong influence of Swans more experimental post-rock, but then it's also psychedelic and droning and all these other things. One of the best things I've heard with Jarboe.

 These Teutons are quickly becoming one of my favourite currently active psychedelic rock groups, and so far this is my favourite album of theirs. They've got all the fuzzed-out power trio heaviness of Blue Cheer or The Jimi Hendrix Experience, the expansive jamming with an oddly earthy atmosphere of Amon Düül II or Hawkwind plus the detailed instrumental interplay and incredible compositional ambition of Frank Zappa's best records... basically everything I could request in this type of music. Only downside is that their lyrics fall back upon clichés a bit too often for my liking.

I totally agree on the description.....just listened to it and there is some nice stuff on it....like JA on acid, which is saying something.'

I should definitely check out these guys, thanks for the mini-review! Sounds like it's right up my alley. I originally thought they were some run of the mill stoner act, but that doesn't sound like it's true the way you just conveyed them.
