Fantastic cosmic mix. Don't sleep on it.

Forgot two I just have on digital: AceMo- Mind Jungle Bantou Mentale - Congo Animal

Getting really into The Jazz Show. It's like a PhD. https://www.citr.ca/radio/the-jazz-show/

Not new but Japanese cd re-release of Surfing on Sine Waves with Quoth added?

People who list like 100 albums in this thread. Jesus. Triage that shit!

Whilst we rightly cherish and praise good albums, it's also interesting to see which ones let people down. For me:- Deftones - Ohms Heralded as a return to form (despite their last album Gore being great and quite experimental comparatively) I find Ohms completely lifeless. It's like someone was told what a Deftones album sounded like and created one almost to the point of pastiche. I think getting old producer back was a regressive step and there's just nothing memorable about this whatsoever. Which is a shame as last 3 albums have been very good. At the moment I rate it as their worst album although it has to fight it out with Saturday Night Wrist for that title. It's like if Radiohead tried to remake the Bends badly or something. A turd.

Yeah this is a good point actually. Also, can't really put it in context given they are American. Well they could if they did research. Like the Anti EP discussion was pointless. Still, good to see it happening I guess.

Is it.

Fucking blinder of an album.

Well we don't know the longterm problems of covid either, which is much more likely to be worse than a much weaker, attenuated form of the same virus. I want to go and listen to some live jazz in Ronnie Scott's after this.

I see some American music lads have started an Ae podcast. It's not bad, they seem fairly knowledgeable, I've listened to first two on Incunabula and Amber. Now, I don't think it's music that leans heavily towards discussing what it sounds like particularly well and they seem a bit reliant on American critique like Pitchfork but thought it might appeal to some of you. Just to be clear I have no personal involvement in this. https://directory.libsyn.com/shows/view/id/gonkcastpod

It's not an entirely new type of vaccine. It's based upon well-established techniques. Why do I even bother.

Mine came on Saturday to Northern Ireland, despatched Wednesday I think. Enjoying it, sounds great.

Will add this to my collection with the SAW2 synth and the Buckley guitar.

Album is incredible, reminds me of de-loused in the comatorium.

Russian female psych-rock. My album of the year.

Nyege Nyege seem to be planning something quite ambitious at start of December, hopefully be good. https://www.nyegenyege.com/line-up/

Used to listen to Syl Kougai a fair amount but have seen that he is really for protesting against covid restrictions and generally a bit of a nut. Which is a shame as he seemed sound and put out some good tunes. Anyone else that has outed themselves as a complete idiot in these times where the walls are caving in? Just depresses me working in healthcare.

I see Dream Catalogue is ending in January.

Lucidvox - We Are (Fucking incredible Russian female psych-rock) Full Circle - From Knowhere (weird fugged out blended Goa trance) Autechre - Sign Romeo Poirier - Hotel Nota (prob the closest to early 00's Jelinek but sunnier) Vladislav Delay, Sly & Robbie - 500 Push-Up Squarepusher - Lamental EP (much prefer to BUAH) Lorenzo Senni - Scacco Matto (even if the treble kills my tinnitus) Dijit - Hyperattention: Selected Dijital Works Vol. 1 (stunning Egyptian beats) Nozomu Matsumoto - Sustainable Hours (beautiful minimalist installation pieces - kind ambient) DJ Python - Mas Amable dgoHn - Undesignated Proximate Beatrice Dillon - Workaround Rian Treanor - File Under UK Metaplasm

Really enjoyed the Ronnie Scott documentary on BBC. Seemed a very nice yet troubled and sad man. I'm glad it is felt the new owners have continued the legacy. Some amazing footage too. Nina Simone was incredible. Van Morrison with Chet Baker. Really must visit the club someday.

I've eaten andouillette loads. Had it on a crepe or with mustard sauce. I've also eaten calf brain ravioli. Well hard, me. Only thing I won't eat is tripe.

I sub to Spotify and used some site that makes a fantasy festival based on your listens and look at the fucking state of it:

Ohms still not doing much for me. Couple of remixes from White Pony so far actually pretty good. Enjoyed Shinoda's Passenger. Like it's much, much worse than the original but still good.

His 12" with Jordan GCZ was great too.
