album listens #68 - crush - floating points

 

awesome.

FAVOURITE SONG: Falaise

RATING: 8/10

album listens #67 - kick out the jams (live) - mc5

 

pretty standard late 60s hard rock. have a bit of a soft spot for this kind of rock but this is just kinda inoffensive.

FAVOURITE SONG: Motor City Is Burning, I Want You Right Now, Kick Out The Jams, Rocket Reducer No.62 - Talk

RATING: 4 or 5/10

album listens #66 - celebrate - halo maud

 

pretty decent psych-pop. saw them live last night and they sounded really great but the album doesn't quite live up to it. lots of nice moments but as a whole doesn't do a lot for me D: . melody's echo chamber, stereolab and pom poko does this style so much better. still probably worth a listen though 

FAVOURITE SONG: Terres Infinies 

RATING: 4/10

album listens #65 - takanaka - masayoshi takanaka

 

amazing, perfect, incredible, unreal. maybe the best jazz fusion album i've ever heard. why didn't i know about this sooner. wow wow wow wow wow i love it so much.

FAVOURITE SONG: READY TO FLY, MAMBO NO.5 (DISCO DANGO), SWEET AGNES, SUMMER BREEZE.

RATING: 10/10

album listens #64 - altar sunn O))) + boris

 

big ol' wall of noise. felt nice in my ears sometimes, sometimes it didn't idk. hard to appreciate all the textures sometimes but i did try, and did enjoy at points, but a little too repetitive for my taste PERSONALLY. I would really like to get into more drone-y stuff like this but i fear it is too much for my small brain to comprehend

FAVOURITE SONG: Fried Eagle Mind, The Sinking Belle (Blue Sheep)

RATING: 4 or 5/10

album listens #63 - gongjoong doduk - mid-air thief

 

doesn't quite live up to crumbling but this album is still incredible. same level of production but slightly more fun than crumbling. songwriting still incredible the whole soundscape is still beautiful but just slightly lacking the beauty and scope that crumbling has. still 100% worth a listen though i loved it.

FAVOURITE SONG: Seismic

RATING: 8/10

album (RE)listens #62 - crumbling - mid-air thief

 

maybe the best production i've ever heard on any piece of music. this album is incredible, perfect, amazing all the way through. the instrumentation is lush and beautiful and swells perfectly and everything cuts through the mix perfectly, you can really hear it all at once. beautifully creative. the kind of album that reminds you how amazing music can be. so much love for this album. the vocals are soothing and i love all of the attention to detail with the synth sounds and also the plucks and bells in the background. it sounds almost lofi at points but still so crisp and satisfying. how did a human make this ?!?! everything works in perfect harmony with each other to create an experience of an album.

FAVOURITE SONG: Gameun Deut, Crumbling Together, Protector, No Answer, These Chains

RATING: 10/10
