Bando do Casaco - Hoje Há Conquilhas...
Our Solar System - In Time (the best psych release of 2016 (together with Goat's Requiem)? Certainly up there)

Always good to see the Conquilhas, especially when their music is occupying my head for the past week Tongue

This song mostly:

Too many great Psych releases this year. I'll have to listen to In Time again and try Requiem.

Last three days:
Eloy - Ra

Forma - Off / On

Forma - Physicalist

Equations - Hightower (I'm so looking forward for their next album.)

Paraguaii - Scope (Yet another good Psych band from Barcelos. I've never been there but I love the town Tongue

)

The Devil's Blood - The Thousandfold Epicentre

Dream Theater - Images & Words (A nice sunny Saturday, good opportunity to open the windows and share the cheese with the neighbourhood LOL

)

Ingranaggi Della Valle - Warm Space Blue

Sensible Soccers - Villa Soledade (It's almost Winter but it gets really close to Summer with this album Approve

)

^^ How's it going, Sam?

I've listened to 13 out of 20 and I own 8 of them.

There's a couple on the list that I would own if I could find them on vinyl.

^ Alright, I guess, and you?

That's quite a lot Thumbs Up

I only heard the Demonauta and Causa Sui albums from these.

By the way, I just finished the new Saturnia album I found out about today. Did you hear it?

I have not heard the new Saturnia yet but I'll listen to it today. If I like it (and I probably will) Discogs has a few copies that are reasonably priced. (I'll ask Santa for the orange vinyl version. Wink

Yeah I have a thing for those conquilhas as well. There is a actually a couple of releases in "that vein" I often spin during the same time as conquilhas; Delirium lll and Canzoniere del Lazio Miradas. Now they don't sound anything like each other (other than a distinct endemic folky vibe emanating from all) yet for some reason relegate the same kind of feel and emotion in me.

Yup you should definitely check out Goat's newest (and that goes for you too Tymon! I think you'd dig this band's sound. Amon Düül ll goes afrobeat and decisively more funky) and yeah why not try In Time again? Again, that goes for you as well Tymon

...that is if you can dig a little jazz spice to your krautrock.

Me today:
Embryo - Opal
Miles Davis - Sorcerer
AMM - AMMMusic
Klaus Johann Grobe - Spagat der Liebe
Lou Reed - Berlin
The Orb - Moonbuilding 2703 AD
Date Course Pentagon Royal Garden - Structure et Force
Bobby Beausoleil - Lucifer Rising

It was only my first listen of anything by Xenakis, but I quite enjoyed it. I'll be sure to come back to it; any recommendations for his other works or vaguely similar artists? I do have some Stockhausen and Cage as well, although nothing orchestral by any of those artists.

The Cure - "The Top": Robert confesses that he was on an LSD binge during the recording of this album and it shows! Even the catchier tunes like "Bird Mad Girl" are rendered weird due to the lyrics and mad vocals. A fabulous disaster, but quite an entertaining one with lots of neat ideas.

The Cure - "Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me": Overlong but reasonable amounts of variety from great pop "Just Like Heaven" to cool weirdness "If Only Tonight We Could Sleep" to heaps of rock angst with effects pedals galore. Kind of a chore in parts but it's not bad overall.

The Cure - "Wish": Thanks to the big hit "Friday I'm In Love" and being released in the early 90's when my interest in them had fully waned, I never gave this a shot. That was a mistake since this is actually quite good with a nice balance of dark and light and non-dramatic vocals. "Apart" really brings the 'feels'.

The Cure - "Wild Mood Swings" Ouch. I wanted to be a rebel and dig this, but that ain't happening. After a couple of songs it dives into crapville with songs like "The 13th" truly supplying the poop. A complete disaster without the "fabulous" factor that made The Top so compelling to me. Utter garbage.
