Haven't been here in a while and left my tourney unfinished, so getting back on that.
As some of you might remember, there were a lot of rules which I will not describe here unless the specifics are requested. The essence of the tourney is competing with automatic RYM suggestions. The essence of my reviews is providing a brief and meaningless piece of impression.

Doug Snyder & Bob Thompson - Daily Dance (Torts) vs NEU! - NEU! (rym robot man)
I am sorry Torts for not comprehending your piece quite right away, I think it will come to later, but so far didn't really click for me. Nice sound, nice instrument skill on that album, yet I can't appropriately appreciate it on the first listen.
First half of NEU! seemed kinda dull at times. I'm not the only one who got that impression, am I? Jahresübersicht is significantly more engaging though.

Various Artists - Music of Nat Pwe: Folk and Pop Music of Myanmar Vol. 3 (Letov) vs Nick Drake - Five Leaves Left (rym robot man)
Drake has his profound melancholy all over the album, the instruments which lacked on Pink Moon add certain aesthetics as well. It's good, composed well, yet I find Pink Moon somewhat more touching and honest in its lack of trinketry. Still a great album though.
Interesting rec by Letov, I like both trad music and Southeast Asia. I guess though I prefer more rhythm and pattern to trad, this one seems a bit chaotic, though it shouldn't come as a surpise, it's Southeast Asia, after all. It has neatly sounding instruments though, scattered through the piece like some exotic spices.

P.S. I remind the participants that I only announce those who advance after I finish the whole round, therefore the recs will only be needed then. I understand that some people might have disappeared since the start of this tourney and in that case I'll consider one of the highest rated albums on their rym profile their rec.

>>71575844

Terminus (Terminus)
Shamepai (Kanzler)
Jangle (Transgod)

Side A is an exercise in impeccable metric that features infectious and hard-hitting grooves that accompany frantic vocals. I appreciated how progressive and spontaneous these tracks get, without spoiling it's sense of rhythm and groove. The second half features are more atmospheric and moody. It's sort of a better produced continuation of whatever Kollaps achieved. It's good.

So I'll share with you all my review of Fishmans - Otokotachi no Wakare, track by track.

>1. Oh Slime: 9/10
>duration: 7:51
Perhaps my favorite Fishmans opener ever. The beggining riffs send chills down my spine every time. It's just so awesome, so emotional, the band is presenting all the members with such a sense of joy and fun, and rescuing that childhood wonder feel, and in sum, the track foreshadows all the spectrums and forms that the show will take from track 2 onwards, from acoustic and dub dream pop to orgasmic and abstract sounds.

>2. Night Cruising (ナイトクルージング): 9.5/10
>duration: 6:25
So let me start out by saying how orgasmic the quality of the audio is. The sound is so immersive you can hear about almost every little trace of sound in the music, every instrument's nuance and shape. The 1.4MB kb/s bitrate file sounds like you're in a very privileged top spot to the point where immersion and emotional power is almost complete and it's difficult to say whether the keyboards are coming out of the speakers or from behind your head or by your side. Sato's voice also flows perfectly, and is so beautiful it's instantly eye tearing. Cheesy I know but it's possibly the first thing that comes to mind when I think about "beautiful japanese music that will make you cry". This is so beautiful and relaxing it's like seriously entering into a nirvana trance.

"Night Cruising" has a dreamy ambiance and this is the absolute definitive version of it, which is really quite the achievement. Even the weirder moments manage to be deeply touching and is just beautiful...

>3. なんてったの: 9/10
>duration: 6:26
Another really beautiful, soul clutching dream pop track. Very beautiful and emotional (heck, the entire album is like that) but the melody in special is a delight.

>4. Thank You: 9/10
>duration: 2:57
Kind of a dream pop dub fusion, catchy and wild, and obviously the lyrics are fantastic and unusual at the same time, but the "Thank You for My Life" part is especially very touching and emotional within this context, a celebration made by someone who loved to live.

>5. Lucky Guy (幸せ者): 8.5/10
>duration: 4:04
Possibly my least favorite track off Kuuchuu Camp, which is still nice. At this point you'll realize that this live album is all about the approach though, and even Lucky Guy becomes somewhat eerie, and beautiful (these keyboards), with stunning arrangements, and I love the chorus especially.

>6. 頼りない天使: 8.8/10
>duration: 4:53
Imagine if someone played dream pop and reggae mixed with church organs? Not only Fishmans pull this insanity out completely but they also do it superbly and effortlessly. This song is intensely beautiful and different, and at the same time perhaps one of the more straight forward pop tracks of the night but still nice. The synth is just chill and amazing, and of course the dream pop ambiance really adds to the whole. Just good stuff.

>7: ひこう: 8.7
>duration: 9:11
This songs always sounded ludicrously similar to me. It's the most dub oriented track of the night and it does have some moisted,wet raw earth feel to it which is impressive considering the intensity of the flowing dream pop ambiance surrounding everything. Makes me think, that perhaps the sound of the dream pop bits being somewhat raw sounding (because while damn good the sound it's not really as lush or polished as something you'd hear in a concert by Sigur Ros or Cocteau Twins for example) and this rawness of the dream pop bits allowed for this. Anyway it's just fantastic direction throughout and also a flawless choice of instruments. Much like the previous track, it's also a little bit more conventional and pop oriented than the rest of the set. The guitar solo in the middle is rather crazy and becomes chaotic with some strumming of two notes, and then returns to the main pop structure again.

After the end there's a bit with Shinji talking to the audience. You definitely can't tell it's that guy who is singing, his normal speaking voice is relatively really low reaching and makes me wonder how did he manage to get so high pitched for singing. Probably intensive training heh. Pretty sweet song anyway, delightful.

>8. In The Flight: 9.5/10
>duration: 6:48
Starts unpretentious, light, withsimple guitar riffs and restrained singing much like the studio version, but the differences become more obvious as the song goes on. This one is sadder, more beautiful, and has a strong emphasis on the melodic virtuosity and on the aquatic, sea ambiance, and is really evocative.

Mind you this is the exact turning point of the album. I don't know which LP out of the 4 this track comes in, but would probably guess it's either the beggining of LP 3 or the very last track of LP 2. Halfway through, the song takes a twist, with Sato providing lyric-less vocals and the violin emerging and doing an absolutely jaw dropping, stunning solo, and the song closes with what to me sounds like a combination of street urban hip hop breaks with funk and energetic drumming. This kind of music "breaking" resourcewas used extensively in the Shibuya Kei of the 90s, and it's a groovy climax to the song, again totally unexpected and crazy awesome. (At this point the album goes from aquatic dream pop to full blown dream aquatic. Now there's no coming back anymore...)

>Les Rallizes dénudés (aka better fishmans)

>What I Liked
The live recording of this album. It's decidedly cavernous and distant. While I doubt that this was intentional, it does wonders in making this release atmospheric and engrossing. Easily the best part of this album.

>What I Disliked
WAY too much ornamentation, especially on the bass. I believe Jangle said something about how one little mishap in minimal music can ruin the entire act. This rings true here. Part of LRD's charm is the straightforward and harrowing simplicity of their performances, especially on the bass guitar. Here, the bassist takes too many liberties and it brings down the overall tone of the songs. I would go as far to say that "The Last One" was butchered. Still good, but the worst LRD release I've heard so far.

The Fishmen become Fish

>9. Walking in the Rhythm: 9.5/10
>duration: 7:48
It's far quirkier than the studio version, and shorter, like it was condensed in a radio single format and received the Season treatment. It's a different, funkier and emotional take on the song, and sounds like you are literally listening to the show inside a giant aquarius. It's pretty wild and weird. The violin is absent in this version, replaced by a sweet guitar solo. At the end of the trademark repetitive chorus there's a hip hop break similar to the one on In The Flight, and at the end of that break there's yet another break, this time even crazier, I can only describe it as aquatic sounding shibuya kei mixed with a stunning, hard rock influenced guitar solo in betclimaxThe climax is breathtaking.

>10. Smilin Days Summer Holiday: 9.4/10
>duration: 4:57
One of the few tracks in this set clocking below the 5 minutes mark, beggining quite emotionally charged and fast paced, as if Sato had no time to waste anymore and just decided to go all out and sing and play the music as quick as possible, then the instrumentation gets unexpectedly avant quirky in the middle, almost like in a childish manner but since the intention was to sound as playful as possible this was fitting. The aquatic feeling is intensely permeating every track since In The Flight and I think this is really interesting. The trademark jazzy sax (or is that a trumpet?) solo is brilliant as well.

>11. Melody: 9.7/10
>duration: 5:49
This one was a slow grower for me. Coming just after the craziest, most excentric tracks on the album at that point, coming after Smilin Days and just before ゆらめき In The Air means that a subtle track such as this one is going to pass overlooked in some way. But surprisingly or not I've been playing this one far more often than almost every other track in this album recently.

It's fairly certainly more emotional than the studio counterpart but I still haven't realized how powerful this one could become when played in the right occasion.

Here's my story: One day, not too long ago, I was playing this version of "Melody" occasionally, inside my room, just enjoying the chills, and then I decided to look up the lyrics. After a while i realized the lyrics will translate to something like "inside this room, music flowing, dark melody, the landscape i see through the window, the sun will change people in this room, let me dream for another two hours ", which in my mind is Sato's love letter to music and within the context of the album is just heartbreaking. Sato was also acclaimed as a lyricist so no surprise here he also knew how to write touching lyrics like a top class frontman. Melody has a happy, groovy rhythm in the studio, but in here the rendering is nuanced and melancholic.

>12. ゆらめき In The Air: 10/10
>duration: 16:00
The studio recording is not the most accessible song of Fishmans auvre, but this live version turns it into a full fledged lush, prog-pop anthem and magical rollercoaster with a sure, melancholic build up exploding with such an unbelievably breathtaking Sigur Roesque, almost sonar sounding vocals and what is also possibly the greatest Honzi's performance wielding the violin ever. The lyrics are that of a love song, almost abstract and very emotional. The main lines can be translated to more or less like: "I hope you don't fade away again... In The Air". The song ends with falls of dark, nightly flutes, only to pick up yet another crescendo, this time for an uncertain but satisfying climax. There's not much to say after that: at this point fishmans rises from dream aquatic to cloudy dream pop, finally reaching the sky high. One of the greatest songs I've ever heard...period.

>13. Ikareta Baby: 8.6/10
>duration: 5:38
The first minute is an introspective one man show, with Sato singing alone to fhe stage and emotionally the beggining lines of Ikareta (Fishmans most popular song at that point) with his guitar, to immense cheers of the audience. The version is relatively simple, I do think it's not that much better or even better at all than the studio version, but the nightly synths are really sweet, and an emotional track even though it's a tad bit economic especially considering the songs that came before and the closer. Manages to go well within context, but simply because it was their most asked song.

>14. Long Season: 10/10
>duration: 41:31
A slow burning, instrumentally packed and a more experimental version of their masterpiece song. In this one Fishmans brought their discipline to play. I always considered the studio version a very good prog song, perhaps one of the best when it comes to long prog epics, but this one is definitively one of the very best in prog, period. I'll even go as far as saying that at it's peak, this rendition of Long Season can rival the very best of any jazz band ever, such is the creativity and precision and cheer impact of the composition.

What I like the most about this rendering of Long Season (some could say it's the definitive version indeed), is that every player has some time to shine. Everyone delivers the performance of their lives here (except maybe Sato, but he also does fantastically well).
Sometimes the whole thing might sound a little sloppy and lazy though. In Long Season Honzi plays three instruments at once (by far the most demanding of her) and at any given time there will be at least two instruments looped and without much external control, and this hurts especially the climax a little, making it sound a little too "mechanical". But the drumming, especially in part 3 (delivered by the underrated Motegi), and the background guitar player, Sekiguchi (who outsolos Shinji for a while near the end with a spectacular number) are nothing short than superb, as is Kashiwabara performance, always bringing forth groovy and refined bass lines, and Honzi brings out a really intense showing.

The chorus bits in the song are highly emotional, bringing a feel of lost childhood wonder,almost if realizing that the joy and the fun days are going to be over soon, or maybe even embracing a longing for the past? A sense of nostalgia, or lamentation. It shouldn't sound sad, it should sound even ridiculous, but the approach makes it sound really emotional and warm.

>>71577910
Part II
There's also a superb demonstration of technique in the whole track, from fantastic, gut wrenching improvisation to heavenly, floating tiny bits of crystal sounding atmosphere to just really good music. And Honzi. Damn. I don't know if she's as good as let's say, Vivaldi, but she really knows how to handle the violin.

Overall, the album is absolutely stunning pop music, with the second half being a complete masterpiece.

Thank you!

Melvin Van Peebles - Ain’t Supposed to Die a Natural Death
>Funk, Spoken Word

Well, if this isn’t one of oddest albums I’ve ever stumbled upon. After some research I found out that Van Peebles is a director/playwright first and musician second. He’s famous for a number of blaxploitation films, such as Watermelon Man, which is essentially a racially-themed “Metamorphasis” adaptation. He also made soundtracks to said films, including one with this title. However, this is confusingly not related to this album. Instead, this is a number of random unrelated spoken word tracks over out-there funk production.

As far as the instrumentals go, this is a bit weird. This isn’t your typical GSH spoken word stuff where Van Peebles raps over soothing piano riffs. Instead, most tracks are performed over anxious, off-kilter jazz/funk pieces. They’re a bit uncomfortable, like the hectic “Put a Curse on You”, which features pounding drums, squealing horns and a jolty bass line. “I Got the Blood” even features some electronic influence. What sounds like a tape-manipulated, reversed jazz track spins in the background and a droning bassline weaves in and out at various volumes. Most of the time, they lean toward minimalist but still manage to emmit this distressing atmosphere. Even “You Gotta Be Holdin’ Out Five Dollars On Me”, which starts as a nice jazzy jam, has a shrieking violin in the midst of it all.

>>71578504
[2/2]

The instrumentals are cool but what ties the experience together is Van Peebles’ vocals. He has this weirdly soothing voice on the calmer tracks. But on the first few tracks, which are more avant-garde, his voice is filled with emotion. It cracks and quavers. It sounds like he’s lost all hope on a few tracks, as he struggles to keep singing. On “Funky Girl on Motherless Broadway”, I couldn’t help think of To Pimp A Butterfly. There’s this awkward jazz-funk jam just churning away in the background as Van Peebles painfully sings, talks and half-cries into the mic. It sounds like it could be a big influence on an album of that style and I’d never think I’d find something comparable from this decade.

Also, quick sidenote - I love finding random hip-hop samples. This is a Madlib goldmine, with “Come on Feet do Your Thing” sampled in “Come On Feet” and “Good Morning Sunshine” sampled in the same titled track on The Unseen. How does ‘lib find music this rare and manage to make it sound good in his music?

Lyrically, this album is really cool, with some unique little passages. He tells stories, which are at least somewhat political. Regardless, they nearly always often diverge into stream-of-consciousness rants. He kind of wanders off the trail, diving into random thoughts, before returning to a more coherent chorus. I’ve always thought this style was a bit intriguing, especially when used right, because it’s weirdly psychological. You get this odd, unfiltered glance into someone’s mind and you aren’t sure where it’s gonna lead. Ultimately, that’s what makes this such an intriguing listen.

What a fucking weird album.

4.5/5

Richard Hell & The Voidoids - Blank Generation
>Punk

I was kind of expecting something a lot bleaker and edgier here, but Hell employs a wild, wacky, almost sardonically humorous persona here. He’s very much just a “snotty punk”, as one RYM reviewer put it. And the songwriting reflect that persona. Even though these songs are strictly punk in the Ramones sense—bopping little angular ditties—the guitars are not afraid to engage in masturbatory live improvisation that adds to the wacky sound and stories of the album (most obviously on “Betrayal Takes Two” and the 8-minute closer “Another World”).

Hell sounds a lot like David Thomas (and The Voidoids kind of sounds like Pere Ubu) on “Who Says? - It’s Good to Be Alive?” and “Another World”. Though Iggy Pop ought to owe royalties to Hell for “The Passenger”, because that song’s basically just a worse version of this album’s titular track, “Blank Generation”.

The bonus tracks are also great, but they’re decidedly bonus. “I’m Your Man” is too similar to “Blank Generation”, albeit with backup singers and a call and response structure. “All the Way” is a soft, seemingly intentionally cheesy ballad à la s/t Velvet Underground. Both are fun, but not quite for the album. I’m glad I listened though.

I really ought to give this thing a few more serious listens. The lyrics seem pretty important (Hell’s vocals are so damn high in the mix—what an ego), and I had to do a few double takes to catch some of the things he said. Really was expecting something a whole lot darker and more nihilistic, but this is actually pretty fun (“down at the rock and roll club”).

aight trip up you caught my attention
because if you havent noticed LITERALLY ALL or eh most of the albums/bands i ride for follow the same philosophy you were kind of getting at in the last paragraph: everything has to be a hook or anticipate a hook, pack as many unique memorable moments into as track as you can, that thing
well alright this is not exactly like that and i'm not into the Filosofem vox recording but i listened to like exactly one track yesterday like "eh i can see that" and now that im replaying the whole album the Barely Legal hook already felt like a standout etched into my brain so it's gotta do something right, right?
well its focus lies much more on subtle buildup and suspense rather than the intense, constantly shifting payoff of like, Slam or ISMFOF so it doesn't need to be shifting between styles and that's okay you should probably get to Ruiner and Aesthethica they're like that except well, less subtle in how riffs trade each other off because who needs subtlety?
could see myself getting into that if i ever grow into the vocal delivery and recording but it does stand out so i prolly will

i can see that, yeah
though it's definitely not constant, upfront hookage all the way through

Sondre Lerche- Pleasure
>Indie pop, indietronica. 2017.

Sondre Lerche's 2014 album, Please, was a major stylistic departure for him. Pleasure continues on that same path- this is the first record of Lerche's to recieve the "indietronica" genre tag. On Pleasure, through immaculate and shrewd production, a very lush, textural, and surprising sound-world is created that is certain to please fans of Tame Impala. Sondre continues to wear his Prefab Sprout influence on his sleeve, proudly.
Despite the ease of comparison to similar acts, Lerche continues to make his unique voice heard. It's obvious that nobody else could have made this record, for better or worse. The melodies and structures he employs are characteristic of him, which is to say they move in unexpected directions, and almost fight with the listener for comfort. Hard left turns and steep grades abound, at times defying a head nod or foot tap to the beat on the first listen. Pleasure is not quite radio-friendly, Sondre never has been, though his music exists in the same arena. He even keeps an open dialogue with mainstream pop with his frequent covers of hit singles (his most recent include Ariana Grande and Drake), but in spite of his apparent desire to be mainstream pop, he is uncompromising with his structural experiments, leaping and stumbling through songs. Not to say he might not reach huge mainstream success in this way- he seems well on his way, in fact.
Pleasure opens on "Soft Feelings", which clearly sets the stage for a record that initially sounds lifted from the 80s, but will likely some day be thought of as "a very 2010s" sounding record. It's followed up with "I'm Always Watching You", which I felt was the stronger of the singles released prior to the album. Driven by an incredibly compelling chorus, the song lyrically addresses modern infatuation: one characterized by internet lurking.

Tarika Blue - Tarika Blue (1976?)
>funk, soul, smooth jazz

This bored the hell out of me, to be honest. The funk and the soul are there in the vocals, but there’s nothing to really hang on to in the music proper. There’s no texture, no real soul in it. The polish is too shiny, the shimmering guitar work, while beautiful, offers no substance. The second track offers a tight groove but not much else. It’s the closest thing to a good track this album might have.

1.5/5

Rick Ross - Teflon Don
>southern hip hop, rap

Rick Ross - Teflon DonRick Ross - Teflon Don
Rick Ross’s 2010 effort is not too far removed from the Pen and Pixel era of Southern Rap, and yet not quite arrived at today’s latest. Somewhere in between the dated annals of Big Bear’s Doin’ Thangs and Future’s HNDRXX lies the opening 808 salvo of Rick Ross’s “I’m Not A Star”: clearly enunciated raps and yet impressively prescient production from Atlanta’s greatest. The song relates Rick Ross’s fight between his newfound starhood and his roots in trapping, and how the two have become intertwined: “I'm not a star, somebody lied, I got a pistol in the car, a 45… Make all of my bitches tattoo my logo on they titty, Put a statue of a nigga in the middle of the city.” The Chubby God wants the fame, and is already used to it, but his old habits die hard.

4/5

Finally getting around to listening to this, on Breakfast Time For Baboons. It's pretty jarring, but I like the jazzy touch it's had throughout. A lot of interesting sounds and textures, angular melodic harmonies, and time signatures that make it difficult to tell where one bar ends and the other begins, especially since I'm hearing multiple rhythms.

>The December Sound - The Silver Album
This album is reverb city, but having lots of reverb can only cover up boring and uninteresting songwriting to a certain point. There were times when the vocals had a unique and engaging sound, the guitars lines flowed in a cool way, and the wall of sound actually had some interesting textures going on, but none of these aspects ever manifested at the same time as each other so there weren't any real impact moments. The whole album felt very shallow in terms of its shoegaze sound and I rarely felt like i was getting lost in the background textures. Overall it's not a bad album, but it doesn't have many unique or worthwhile qualities that would make me want to listen to this specifically. The album art is pretty great though.

(2/3)

"Serenading in the Trenches" is the sequel to "Crickets" from 2014's Please. It's pretty much the same song reimagined a bit more energetic and maximal.
"I Know Something That's Gonna Break Your Heart" is one of my favorites of the album. A classic Sondre melody, the synths used during the chorus hearken back to the theremin used on 2002's Faces Down, while also employing obscured and echoey vocals, as Sondre did with Kato Adland on the Sleepwalker (2014).
"Siamese Twin" is a slowing down of the record, and is the most experimental sounding (insofar as Sondre is choosing to experiment on this album). It includes a chiptune-styled intro, a luscious, Mac Demarco style guitar sound, chopped up portions (think the end of "Go Right Ahead" from Sondre's 2011 self-titled), and most interestingly, some soft noise in the latter half the song that adds a texture that upsets preconceived notions of what Pleasure's sound-world (and Sondre's in general) is capable of.
"Bleeding Out Into The Blue" is another standout track. Dying synthesizers carry it forward, and as the song carries on, it grows more triumphant, until it collapses in on itself, and then builds itself back up, repeating the process. Hissing noises are present, and at the 2:48 mark, one of those sonic hard left turns pops up, reminiscent of the suprise theremin on "Things You Call Fate" (from Faces Down). "Bleeding" is easily one of the best songs on the album.
"Reminisce" is comparably underwhelming. It feels a bit defocused sonically, but seems like it would work as a party song. The lyrics are peculiar, Sondre expresses a yearning: "I want to be above this state of mind", and he also addresses more modern concept with the same honest self-deprication: "I want to turn male privilege on it's head, even though without it I would probably be dead". Reminisce also has a guitar solo, but it's definitely one of the weaker ones Sondre has put to record.

(3/3)

"Hello Stranger" stands a strange angle. A little too stripped down to be a party song, it carries that energy, until it is eventually built up to something that is aligned by the typewriter "ding!" that marks when the song is really going off, regrettably close to the end.
"Violent Game" is the odd one on this record. It starts with just Sondre's voice and guitar, as it could have been heard on many of his past records. But his voice is strained, he is really howling, and the drums come in with a harshness. It's like 2007's Phantom Punch again. A proper rock song! Very "Airport Taxi Reception". Distortion creeps in, giving it a connection to Pleasure, and then the song disperses into erratic vocalizations, and a stellar guitar solo, the best one Sondre has done since "Domino" (from 2011's self-titled), and probably his best one yet. Violent Game captures an energy and meandering uncertainty that hasn't been heard on record since Sondre's live album, Bootlegs (2012). This song is really a spiritual successor to the 6 minute version of "Sleep On Needles" from that album.
Finally, the record ends with "Baby Come to Me", which is another of my favorites from Pleasure. A twinkling, totally triumphant conclusion, which serves to summarize and resign Pleasure. The line "water under the bridge" repeats, and at the song's end, the vocals drift elsewhere, and Pleasure fades away.

Overall, Pleasure is just that. A step up from Please, Sondre has undoubtedly proved he can handle experimentation and still make terrific pop songs. One of his best records yet, I would say that it leaves me incredibly excited, almost impatient, to hear his next one (and it does), but Pleasure is so satisfying, that the time between now and his next album will hardly feel like a wait. It will just be a pleasant time in my life.

An unwavering 9/10.

whole lotta "music talk" going on round here...

>>71580385

I put down quite a few tracks to listen to again, but it's more curiosity than "Man, that track was great". There's some interesting ideas in there, but I would have preferred something more concrete. Still having the multiple rhythms and challenging time signatures, just more general intense drones or melodies, even if nearly atonal, than just hearing a bunch of glitching and noise.

Yeah, I'm relistening now. I don't find it as abrasive as I once did because I can appreciate the free jazz inspirations. However, for the most part his sonic palette is rather one note and many tones sound flat or overcompressed which I guess is what he was going for, but it hinders my enjoyment.

@ guy who did fish review this is jazz
With a line up of Towner, Weber, Garbarek, and Christensen there's no way you could fuck this up. Good thing they didn't fuck it up and this is actually one of the best ECM recordings out there! The interplay between Towner's guitar and Garbarek's sax is fantastic, and Weber's doing his thing with the bass and the cello that he always does and it's pretty good. The drum guy uh I don't really know him but he's playing that's for sure!

Cool to see that you like so much Mothers era Zappa stuff. Absolutely free is one of Zappa's best, and his most unchecked imo. You really should hear more of his solo stuff, specifically Hot Rats and Roxy & Elsewhere.

That "regional" list is also pretty cool. You should really hear Blind Willie Johnson, Golden Rain, and Das Geheimnis der Bulgarischen Stimmen - Volume 1 ASAP.

Also, "The Album" by the Avalanches is just SILY with more, better samples and an extra track + better mixing in general. It'll be the version with "With My Baby" on it.

Other things you need to hear ASAP from your wishlist are Dialoghi del presente, ...And the Ambulence Died in His Arms, Destroy All Monsters, Texas-Jerusalem Crossroads,

Yeah, there's not of variety in the more jarring sounds, it's just clipped to sound like a fuzzy blare.

Just got done listening to Doll Doll Doll, too. I liked "I Rent The Ocean", and this one lightened up on the harsh jumble of noises, but it doesn't sound as diverse as the last one, more familiar sounding drum breaks. I'd keep going with Snares but he's put out so much stuff, so at this point unless someone can recommend me something that they think is truly special of his, I'm gonna tap out with this guy and find something else to listen to.

Rossz csillag alatt született is kinda neat because of the mix with classical instruments, but it's quite accessible and while it has some cool tracks, I find it to be rather cheesy.

It just felt really safe and weak compared to what they've done before. Was also disappointing since they haven't really made any good material (other than that Twin Peaks album) for almost a decade now.

have you not heard any other Xiu Xiu? A Promise, Fabulous Muscles, and Knife Play (probably in that order) is where I'd start. If you specifically want another like that album, The Air Force or Angel Guts is where I'd start.

Various Artists - Close to the Noise Floor
>Minimal Synth, Industrial, Synthpop, Ambient

“Formative UK Electronica 1975-1984”

I was expecting ambient noise, proto-dungeon synth, and mostly boring tape loop shit here, but instead I got an improbably long string of mind-blowing early throbbing minimal synth and industrial bangers. Admittedly the comp becomes increasingly abstract, but most pieces here retain an emphasis on a somewhat variably consistent beat. Think suped-up Suicide (and occasionally Throbbing Gristle).

But man is it long. Each song is pretty good, but together they get a bit tiring. I had to take this thing one disc at at a time—and it’s four discs long. Disc one is almost entirely instrumental, harder edged stuff. Disc two is more disco, often with vocal performances. Disc three is increasingly abstract, featuring almost new age ambient, dramatic lengthy synth compositions, and tribal ambient-percussed soundscapes (even including some pretty great early work by Bryn Jones [Muslimgauze]). Disc four becomes even more abstract and avant-garde, but delivers some incredible unconventional dance pieces too.

Here are some highlights from each disc:
Disc 1
>“Computer Bank”, “R.A.M.”, “Sedation Strokes”
Disc 2
>“The Single Off the Album”, “Drugface”, “(Leaving Me) Now”, “Music to Save the World By”
Disc 3
>“Adrenalin (Return of the Elohim, Pt. I)”, “Triptych”, “Ynas Scaith”, “Sedation”, “Dead of Night”
Disc 4
>”Go for the Throat”, “Menial Disorders, Extract B2”, “Himea (And She Blew)”, “In the Room”, “Mzui”

It’s like the So Long Babylon of early British industrial and minimal synth. What a comp.

And there’s obviously a lot of history to unpack here, but I don’t have the time nor the energy, so despite my curiosity, I’m just going to listen to the tunes.

going into this blind, i wasnt prepared for the intensity this album brings. the first two tracks come in strong, with changing tempos and complex rhythms. the last track is a 20-minute chant, and is just as musically impressive as the first two tracks. the whole album overall is very psychedelic and noisy, but makes for a gripping, unforgettable experience.

Free Jazz music that is ambitious in sound design and that has an approach that I can only describe as monolithic. Like the LRD records I reviewed earlier, the production on this album is very spacey. This is effective in giving the album a cavernous and engrossing effect. The lead saxophonist also contributes to this. He/she manages to do this by playing a rather effective motif throughout the album. In fact, if I had to summarize everything, i'd say that this album is about half of the main motif, half free improv/build up.

This motif isn't really a set melody, but rather a scale that the saxophonist occasionally returns to. I'm not sure what scale it is, but man is it very effective. It manages to be large in sound, while still feeling off-kilter and rather surreal. This motif, coupled with the aforementioned production quality, lead to a finished product that has an undeniably strong atmosphere and artistic purpose.

I felt as if more could have been done, however. The highlights of this album are well done, but the moments in-between feel un-attended to. This entire release felt like an intermission for a much better, much more ambitious project.

>Gorillaz - Demon Days

I've listened to plenty of Gorillaz, but I just have never rated them. I think I listened to this album in full length a year or two ago actually.

The thing with Gorillaz is, they don't really know how to make a consistently good album. However, they have some AMAZING tracks (My personal favorites are: Empire Ants, Hong Kong, El Manana, Amarillo, and Tomorrow Comes Today). If you listen to them through albums, they're not that good, but if you take their best songs, they're easily amazing. I don't know why they can't make a fucking consistently good album, but are able to have 1-3 awesome songs per album.

Demon Days is no different. Most of it was either bad-decent, with 3 tracks sticking out as being far better than the others (Feel Good Inc, DARE, El Manana). Honestly this could have been given a 2.5, but when Gorillaz are at their highs, they really do some amazing stuff.

3/5

ANGEL LET ME GOOOOOOOO

YOU KNOW ITS JUST TOO LITTLE TOO LAAAATE

Why did it take me so long to listen to this? I've only heard one other vaporwave album besides this (chris+++), and after hearing this I'll definitely be listening to more. I loved all the samples, the density of it all, the futuristicness of it. Could be getting bumped to a 5 eventually.

Mercury Rev - Yerself Is Steam (1991)
>neo-psychedelia, experimental rock

I really don't like the vocals, and I'd be lying if I said that didn't hurt my enjoyment of the album at least a little bit. Luckily, the music itself is damn fine. Unfocused and occasionally a bit too lost in the feedback despite the band's obvious pop songwriting chops (hidden track "Car Wash Hair" is probably my favorite track of theirs), but it's exceptionally cozy, fun, and most importantly, noisy as hell. The band's knowledge of how and when to use feedback in a pop context is on point, and they've got the quiet and loud dynamics of alt. rock and grunge down to a T while still injecting their own quirky tributes to '60s psychedelia into the sound. While I may not be too big into the vocals, they've got a quality to them that really adds to the bands whimsical sound, especially on more melancholic, deliberate tracks like "Frittering", one of the best tracks on the album. I might like Boces a /wee/ bit more, but I can't complain too much about this. It's better than fucking Deserter's Songs, that's for sure.

3.0

>>71587233
prob my second fav MM release after TLCW

"Edit the Sad Parts" is a fucking perfect song

>>71586999
>so long season (nice trips)

>>71587043
Complete discog or s/t?

Either way, it contains some of the most raw, passionate, and legit-feeling rock music ever recorded. MacKaye projects his vocals in such a way a really peculiar way that you can't help but be gripped (me like when him scream). His voice rides a perfect line between chaotic and annoying that pretty much zero hardcore punk bands could ever get down. The guitars are simple, and at a really specific tone that I just fucking dig. The drums carry a lot of locomotion, and keep energy flowing from track to track, and I think are probably my favorite aspect of nearly every song. Everything hits, each track has an interesting, unique, and powerful element to it. Not a single shitter in the middle anywhere. Constant hits front to back.

I wouldn't say it's for everyone, but there's so many perfect, simple elements that really just boil the genre down to a science for me.
I found Minor Threat slightly after what I would consider my formative years, but regardless I still think I would enjoy them as much had I discovered them today.

>>71587696
>It's better than fucking Deserter's Songs, that's for sure

Surprised no words on the opener, which is probably one of the best in rock music imo.

>Today Is the Day - Willpower

Very unpopular opinion: I enjoyed Kiss the Pig more than this.

This wasn't really heavy and depressing enough honestly, which I feel like the main point of this album was to conjure these emotions. If I wanted to feel depressed or angry or whatever, there are a lot more albums I'd listen to. I didn't necessarily dislike it though; there were some good moments (Simple Touch is a really, really good track), and I enjoyed the vocals overall.

3/5

Well i am bored so i will just write a short review for an album i really like
>Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers - Free for All
If you know who Art Blakey is, then you kind of already have an image of how this is supposed to be. The hard-bop pioneers "The Jazz Messengers", this time leaded by founding member Art Blakey, release an album more worthy of the title Machine Gun than Peter Brötzman's. Free for All is, by all means, a sonic assault, with a line up that is incredibly promising, with people like Blakey on drums, Shorter on the sax and Hubbard on the trumpet, an explosive combination that it's set to blow the stage and possibly your mind. The first song, the title track Free for All will be ingrained in my memory as one of the most breathtaking songs in all of Jazz music. We start with a piano line that exists to prepare you for what will come, as it is an incredible indicative of how the whole song will be, so that it can be then blown out by a choir of trumpet, trombone and sax that remains as one of my favorite moments in music ever. The song then progresses normally, with solos from Wayne, who sounds incredibly angry and abrassive her, and hubbard, all while Blakey finds each second a new wave to change the rythmn. Then newr the finale, Blakey plays his magnificent solo in which he shows just how skilled he is, and with incredible ease, how he is one of the best drummers of all time. The entire album displays some of the best playing any of this artists have done, and the emotions all range from cathartic to sad or endearing. By all means, this album is exactly how i feel any hard bop record should be, and for me it remains as a standard of how any jazz album should try to be. Highly recommended
9+/10
Btw i might do a japanese music chart and i promise i will make good reviews for it

Scott Key - This Forest and the Sea (1976)
>psychedelic folk, american primitivism

Damn fine primitivism. It's a style I already have a predisposition to liking (wow, no fucking shit), and Key presents an entertaining take on the genre with some nice psychedelic influences. These psych influences could stand to be utilized more often, because the more droning tracks are probably my favorite here, compared to the more standard tracks that take up the rest of the album, but the standard stuff is well done as well. It doesn't reinvent the wheel, but Key's a great guitarist and a great composer writing and performing in a style I love, so I really like this album.

Bruce Springsteen - Greetings From Asbury Park, N.J. (1973)
>heartland rock

A very primitive form of Springsteen and the E Street Band, filled with working-class lyrics and clumsy, improvisational instrumentals. None of the songs are terribly memorable, "Blinded by the Light" is catchy and "Lost in the Flood" is nicely epic but nothing else really catches me. The best thing about this release is the general looseness of it, the rock 'n roll flavors on a lot of these tracks adds some much needed energy into the otherwise limp tracks, and they detract from Springsteen's rather nasally vocals, which are nowhere near as good as they are on later records of his. The drums are a specific highlight, and the production on them is damn great, but even they can't save some unmemorable as hell tunes.

honestly best song he's been on in a while
if you got rid of the kinda crappy chorus and added some high pitched g-funk synths, it's be like classic snoop all over again

we can only dream though

The Umpteens - Turn the Livingroom Into a Dance Floor
>Indie Rock, Jangle Pop, Lo-fi

Think C86-type jangle pop without Morrissey singing (thank Christ). Or think the Motifs, a little more lively, fronted by Calvin Johnson. Don Lennon, the lead singer here, can be a lot more expressive than Johnson though, even if he does hang around in that baritone monotone.

There’s something about well-made, simple, heartfelt, genuine indie rock that I am just such a sucker for.

Morrissey has a great voice. I grew up listening to The Smiths and Morrissey solo albums in the car. I'm only tired of hearing his latest and lamest imitation whenever I try a new jangle pop record

Nine Inch Nails - Pretty Hate Machine
>Industrial Rock

So I figure it’s high time I explore the Nine Inch Nails catalogue. Not a great start, but oh well…

This sounds just about as dated as I thought it would. While the attention to detail on all these songs is admirable, and it occasionally yields fascinating results, on the whole I am pretty turned off by this record.

“Head Like a Hole” sounds like the opening theme for some WWE wrestler, “Terrible Lie” is nearly rap rock, and I guess predates funk metal. “Down In It” is as iconic as it is dated—the possibly pained emotions of the song are completely lost on me. The drum machine here, as on every other song, is terrible. “Sanctified” reeks of MIDI keyboard preset business, and the lyrics are cringeworthy, no two ways about it: “and if she says, ‘come inside’, I’ll come inside for her.” Kind of makes me want to listen to Simple Minds though.

Trent almost has a breakthrough moment of heartfelt clarity on “Something I Can Never Have” (ignoring for a second that a piano-led ballad in the midst of electro-industrial trash is in itself pretty trash) but promptly ruins the mood with his wacky singing and particularly cringeworthy lyrics. I see where Linkin Park gets it.

>cont.

>inued.

“Kinda I Want To” brings back the proto-funk metal-type industrial rock with renewed vigor and cheese. At least here Reznor includes a few musique concrète industrial ideas, as opposed to relying solely on Depeche Mode’s gated reverb-drum industrial realm. There are admittedly some really cool noise rock guitars and buzzsaw synths here. The total freakout on the break is spectacular. “Sin” is actually also fairly enjoyable—it’s nearly synth-pop, however aggressive and freakish. However, “That’s What I Get”, despite a fun opening theme (which does repeat for the chorus), quickly regresses to wacky and overly melodramatic vocals and cheesy synths. Best line from that song: “now I’m slipping on the tears you made me cry”—please no, Trent.

“While the devil wants to fuck me in the back of his car”—he just dropped that. It doesn’t even rhyme. “The Only Time”—is this what Filmcow was referencing in that video ripping on the Joker’s tattoos in Suicide Squad? “Ringfinger" is fairly standard fare by this point, and a fairly anticlimactic finisher (with a pretty damn cool fuzzed-out guitar playing intermittently).

Really nothing here is fun, engaging, or catchy enough for me to return to. Trent should whip out the guitar more often. Every time he does it’s kickass. Also he should really ditch that drum machine.

Organized my music collection last night, pic related are some that I haven't heard yet.

Thoughts on what to listen to first? Alternately, pull a name out of a hat and I'll start there.

Real Estate - In Mind
>Indie Pop, Jangle Pop

“…Impatiently as I wait for you; impatiently as I wait for you." I felt the same way about Real Estate’s new album as Martin Courtney felt for his other half on “Darling”. The New Jersey band have been one of my favorites since I discovered “indie” music in Middle School so long ago, and I’ve been smitten with the jangly tone and easygoing mood of theirs ever since I listened to their first album almost 6 years ago now. Back then, their lyrics were full of juvenile whimsy, about going to the lake with your friends in the summer, or pool-hopping in Suburbia. Now, they’re slightly more grown up; the carefree idealist turned into not-quite jaded individual. The change is welcome: after three albums of the same breezy sounds, I was beginning to ask myself if Real Estate were indeed a one-trick pony. After listening to this record, I am unsatisfied to say they are and are not.

Lyrics aside, the music sounds fairly different from the Halcyon days of Real Estate and Days, with more “soft” psychedelic elements like wah-wah guitar and other treatments, rather than just ex-lead guitarist Mondanile’s jangly interloping melodies. I feel like the music is more hard-hitting, like Martin Courtney is trying harder to get at the heart of things (and of listeners). There is also the question of the unmistakable sound of the drum machine which has been introduced to the sound of Real Estate. It’s foreign, unknown, alien to the soft, organic sound they have harvested for the past 7 years, and, while slightly jarring at first, I grew to like the sound of it.

Another welcome change is the piano, heard for the first time on the intro to the last track, “Saturday”. It’s a more melancholy vibe than usual, but it fits with the sepia-tinted yearning for yesteryear on this album.

To me, Real Estate were, are, and will be the sound of Suburbia, summery vibes and blithe air always. This record is a slight departure from that, albeit a welcome one.

4/5

Y'all like the new Necks album?

>>71596620
is it any different from the old necks albums

>Steve Reid - Nova
All I hear is 1970s action show theme music. How is this supposed to be avant-garde jazz? Dozens of performers were doing things far more excessive and outlandish than this, decades before this.

People seem to think this is mind blowing stuff, so I'm going to say is that I don't get it and leave it at that. Totally put to shame by Steve Reid's next release, Rhythmatism.

3/10

Great drums though.

>>71596626
I've never heard any other Necks albums, maybe not

>>71596640
the new one is fairly comfy but not their best de-su

>>71596474
>>71596460
i like days because it has some very good pop songs, should i listen to this record?

>>71596686
a better question would be if you like Martin Courtney's solo album

>>71596620
I love it. Blue Mountain is one of their finest tracks.

You should check out Hanging Gardens if you're interested in them.

>>71596651
would days be the best one to start with?

>>71596734
yes! try Days for sure. S/T is my fav but Days is still really really good

>>71596722
Will do, I liked this. All the jazz tags were misleading though

>>71596642
Worse than Fish's Orgasm review.

>People seem to think this is mind-blowing stuff
You obviously just went into it with a false expectation that wasn't what you expected because it's tagged wrong on RYM. Fucking aweful review and I don't even think it's better than a 6 maybe.

You probably think Coltrane was early to avant-garde huh? Lmao. Try talking about the music next time buddy.

>>71596642
lol panned

I mean out of 19 friends you're the only to give it below a 3.5, so I guess it just really isn't your thing.

>Dozens of performers were doing things far more excessive and outlandish
And? I think you really just went into this with false expectations and were disappointed when it wasn't exactly that.

>>71596784
Yeah cause rym tags are shit. Also I guess it's hard to describe minimalist free improv featuring mainly bass, drums, and piano with occasionally some overdubs and studio work put on at the end. So people just slap avant garde jazz on it and call it a day.

>>71596852
>Try talking about the music next time buddy.
I did!
>Great drums though.

>You probably think Coltrane was early to avant-garde huh? Lmao.
Yep. 1965 was year that experimental music began, my man!

>>71596854
Maybe false expectations. But if I went into it expecting jazz funk, I'd rather put on Headhunters. It felt more like library jazz funk desu. Not a bad genre, just a disappointment.

>>71596854
I should probably say, though, that I love Rhythmatism & Reid's work in general. Wouldn't be surprised if Nova grows on me, it just did not impress after the first few listens.
