what are you listening to 2018

i have been listening to a lot of UNIFORM - WAKE IN FRIGHT

https://i.imgur.com/QCoFsDV.jpg

as i walk my dog through the empty suburban streets, it makes me grit my teeth and inwardly snarl in every direction. it came out about a year ago, last january, but they're new to me. i think one time i mentioned on ILM that i had this platonic idea of a 70s punk band in my head, when i was in high school, just before napster and all that stuff hit and it was still kind of difficult to easily research a genre and track down genre highlights. i listened to some old punk bands like the ramones and the buzzcocks but it was very different than what i had imagined. a few years later i heard wire's first three albums for the first time, and it was this odd sensation of finally finding the real version of an idea of what something sounds like. hard to explain. but i haven't had that sensation again until i ran across this Uniform album the other day. they sound like everything i want right now. i would love to see them play live, i bet it's fucking intense.

(sorry if there's already a general what are you listening to thread for this year, i just couldn't find it)

if anyone has any recommendations on music that is more knife-edgy than that, please dish them out. i am in the mood

LOFT - three settlements four ways

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=472oXxV2ajM

deconstructed club from manchester. the most interesting electronic LP of last year imo. so much going on, yet so much space.

in the car today it's been:

lee gamble - mnestic pressure
Royal trux - platinum tips + ice cream
Yardbirds - newish '68 double cd thing I borrowed from dad

katsumi horii project - hot is cool

I've been on a 1960s Dottie West kick most of January. Patsy Cline too.

meaulness your description of LOFT has me intrigued

And great post, Karl Malone.

Young Marco - Biology

It's labeled "deluxe edition" even though there never was a "regular" edition on CD. It has a bonus track that isn't on the LP, though.

i just got Superstar and Star - Mastermind EP. holy shit this rules. noisey dub house & lofi outsider pop. this is wonderful stuff. i got this due to the youtube video for the lovely "I Ain't Missing You". apparently this compilation came out last year but they only just shipped them out. it was a very limited run so i think it quickly sold out. amazing stuff!!!

Milky - Travels With a Donkey (2002)

Hey I like the first Uniform album, Perfect World - I didn't know there was a newer one! Thanks I'll check that out.

i still haven't gotten around to listening to perfect world! i hear it's really good, but i'm still trying to figure out the newest one. i'm trying to take my time with albums recently and give them several good listens before moving on to other things.

god this Per Tjernberg record (They Call Me) is so good, listened to it twice last night. really digging the discoveries form this thread (Spotify playlist is in there near the end, recommended)

Chee Shimizu - Obscure Sound (a music book)

somehow i have missed out on Dennis Johnson until now.

November, composed in 1959, as performed by jeroen van veen. i've been sprawled out on my rug transfixed for a couple hours now

^^ that one's amazing indeed.

I don't want to pull you from your rug ZS, save this for a later date, but have you ever heard dEUS 'Worst Case Scenario'? For some reason I think it could really be up your alley.

og vinyl copy of Cornelius "69/96" arrived today alongside SSKHKH "17" album. "69/96" is hitting the spot right now, it was doing 90s west coast hip hop style beats a minute ago and now we are in Austin Power electric sitar wonderland. this isn't an album this is a theme park. the record sounds SO GOOD.

SSKHKH's "17" is a great album as well. if you can find their "Motorhead and Drive" VHS it has videos for all the songs on the album.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fY5u9BW2DM

Love that band! ^

xpost i will put that next up in the queue, LBI! i still have more of november to go through, which is kind of amazing because it feels like i was listening to it all day already!

there's something really poignant about this:

A few years ago, Johnson told Young that he’d had enough of the 21st century and was going ‘off-grid’. No email, and for long periods his phone remained unanswered. But Mark Harwood, of Penultimate Press, had the number, and got through to Johnson last year. This spring Harwood, in collaboration with the Irritable Hedgehog label, are releasing a 4CD performance of November by pianist R Andrew Lee.

With Harwood’s help, I spoke to Johnson by phone. Now in his mid-seventies, Johnson would be the first to admit his memory is fraying, but in person he’s likeable and generous to a fault. I asked how he feels being hailed as the first composer to write minimalist music. He answered: "That’s interesting. Tell me again, the meaning of minimalist?"

Thought for a moment this was the noteworthy album covers thread. Most of those belong in a museum.

first of all, i've been getting re-into the Mariah album from 1983. (long lost impossible to find, reissued a few years back. seems like the "hit" was "Shinzo No Tobira", but there are several songs at least as good. I really love "Sora Ni Mau Maboroshi"). then i got so into that that i did 15 seconds of research and found the Mariah guy (at that point, Yasuaki Shimizu)'s solo album from the year before, Kakashi. like Mariah, it is unclassifiable, timeless, and so good. also, i struggle with design so much, and this is a good reminder of how simple and perfect it can be:

(standout track on kakashi is "umi no ue kara", i think. the shift at 3:00 is everything i want i music.)

Hey Karl Malone, do you know Swedish 'supergroup' Orchestra Of Constant Distress?

Their new album Distress Test may be your thing.

doran i don't know them! i gave it a listen today but i wasn't in a position to play it at extreme volumes, which i feel like it probably deserves. to be honest i don't regularly listen to a lot of heavy stuff (the uniform album that i posted about above was kind of an exception but i found it during a really weird time when the best noises on earth seemed to be the very loudest) but when i am in the mood, i am in the MOOD. so i'll file it away for the next time the heavy mood descends

i bumped the Francis Bebey thread the other day, but i'm still listening and still very much sucked in so i guess i'll mention it here too. Psychedelic Sanza, a comp of his stuff from 1982-84, is what i'm playing the most, although my choices are pretty limited (it's either that or his comp from 1975-82 on spotify).

Psychedelic Sanza kind of a weird recommendation because on about half the songs he deploys this really really odd and compelling stretched out vocal trick. on some songs it harmonizes and is repetitiously blissful - "Binta Madiallo" is a good example. on about 1/3 of the songs, though, it's the kind of thing that WILL cause a typical person to ask "um....what is this we're listening to?" in that way that makes the heart sink. listen to "Bissau, about 1:18 in, for a relatively brief glimpse of what i'm talking about, and at 2:45 and 3:20 as well. personally, after many listens i find it to be bravely experimental and i'm in awe of someone pushing the limits like that so far into his career (i think he was already past 50 years of age and a dozen albums deep by the time 1982-84 rolled around.

so that vocal trick will alienate some. but it's too bad, because the other 2/3 is just fantastic and ideal for all listening situations imo. RIYL the vibe of can's "Future Days"

nice cover, too

That looks like an interesting record, calzino.

it's not one of his best and is dragged down a bit by the awful vox tracks, but he's such a legend/musical force I'll listen to literally anything he plays on.

Grisey represent! I think I like the original Accord recording (with Gérard Caussé on viola) even better. For what it's worth, it's a little faster than the Kairos one and the playing strikes me as a wee bit more idiomatic, though I absolutely adore the ASKO Ensemble (and Garth Knox) as well.

I'll look for that one.

I've got to admit when Meades put some Ben Webster in his Architecture of Fascist Italy doc, I was really happy that someone else out there appreciates this genius.

interesting folk/soul whatever lp by girl with a weird semi-tuneful smokey voice that I find quite compelling.

John Gordon Armstrong - Music for Solo Guitar
Yamantaka//Sonic Titan - Dirt
Alvvays - Antisocialites
Itasca - Morning Flower
Planning for Burial - Below the House
Smashing Pumpkins - 1991-06-22
Rush - "Caravan"
Ex Eye - Ex Eye

i have been listening to so much alvvays, it's been ridiculous

Nils Frahm - All Melody
Nortt - Endeligt
Blush Response - Infinite Density

Mostly Brooklyn Raga Massive's version of In C

but also Band of Gypsys

add that Planning for Burial album to my list. that’s outstanding.

the concert that is featured in the concert film Distant Sky was circulated via torrent sites presumably before most people had heard of a forthcoming concert film.
This was apparently the first stadium tour by the band. You can see the size of the venue in the film.
Energy/intensity level throughout seems to be pretty high.
Very good performance.

Not sure if the band changed the tracks played much over the tour. Looked like a few of the sets I have from last year have pretty similar setlists.

Kenny Wheeler - Gnu High and Deer Wan albums back to back. Just what I needed this hungover morning.

Got only 3 weeks to make a cool Afrobeat music for my thesis, and boy, have I been on a search roller coaster. Gotta find some African music beats ASAP and then I got hooked to this page popularly called Naija Free Beats. Still on the thesis thing, but everyday, I keep going back for some listening and relaxation pleasure. Also have some cool collections from Soundcloud as well. :)

The Fool (1968)

this is an LP by the hip psychedelic English art collective The Fool. the painted the outside of the Apple store in London. they painted John Lennon's rolls royce and Eric Clapton's guitar. they designed the inner sleeve for Sgt. Pepper. their album was produced by Graham Nash. they were very well plugged in.

this is their vanity record. it's pretty good! like the album cover shows they are not as much of a band as they are a Renaissance Festival troupe of gypsies singing fairy tale songs and stuff. the album is psych folk. some electronic noises overdubbed onto simple Fleetwood Mac-style group folk songs. some drones and New Age Cult energy. i like "No One Will Ever Know":

so, in the last few days I got the new GAS album, and both of the new Black Dog albums, which I am still absorbing.
however, this is the one that has impressed the most.
it is absolutely sublime.
organic (not something that's normally associated with KOMPAKT), ethereal, warm, and just fantastic.

The first Was Not Was lp. It's much better than i anticipated. Though i think it would be better, if the actual singers (Sweet Pea and Harry) sang all of it. Those archly "weird" lyrics throughout the lp, would be infinitely more effective (and subversive)that way. Rather than the spoken, King Missile style vocals that are the alternative here. In general though, it's great stuff!! Out Come the Freaks is a killer opener, a very Chocolate City-era Parliament style jam. In the context of playing the lp for pleasure, i enjoy the spoken bits as well. Just think that my idea is better. Lol.😄

Now that we're less than a year and a half away from the end of the decade, I've basically been focusing mostly on music released in the '10s - so, re-listening to a lot of favourites released this year, giving several LP's a couple more chances, and seeing what else I can discover. This amounts to quite a fair bit of stuff, obviously.

was listening to that Glam 2cd set over the weekend.
and yes, it is as good as scott told us it was.

i can't get anyone in my life to listen to this for more than 30 seconds but it is perfect for morning time:

anouar brahem
blue maqam

https://i.imgur.com/ZA8rgnD.jpg

love this guy, his Barzakh album is ace as well and Astrakan Cafe (with classic ECM opulence - recorded in an ancient monastery for the acoustic qualities!).

There have been a few live sets by Anouar Brahem turned up on Dime over the last year that have been quite good.
His backing band is now known as the Blue Maqams but I think the line up is different.

//e.snmc.io/i/300/s/98900bb666840739d928b4b21034570f/4246641

NOt sure what of his I've heard. Was listening to this last night too and very impressed by it but didn't think I'd heard it as it. Think I've heard other things heavily echo it though but wasn't sure exactly what, some of it seems very Beefhearty or at least like it was picked up on by the early magic Band.
Primal earthy stuff

his "i do not play on rock and roll" album is alltime class!

I don't remember this which must have been talked about at the time. I think the band had broken through to the next level at least by then so surprised they played this place. maybe it was only after the mega selling lps o fthe time taht they did become taht popular in the UK. I thought they were playing massive places in the US at least at the time.
This is powerful anyway.

xp i feel like a chump for buying the Catherine Ribeiro box set that only had five discs!!

that salzman lp is a real mishmash of then current modern classical/avant practices... kind of a mess, but it has a few nice moments. from what i understand he was something of a mimaroglu protege hence the release on finnidar (he also had an earlier release on nonesuch but haven't heard that one)

Hawkwindz I bought both.
I thought the French box set with teh 5 discs was mastered a bit quietly.
This seems to be less so. Seems to be about the same volume as the other discs I have on my 3 changer.
& covers a few more lps.
Looked like price might be rising which is one reason I went ahead and bought it. Think I'd been looking her up on here thanks to the recent lp reissues which is when I first heard about this box set.
I think the lps that are on here and not on the earlier box coincide with the lps that are up on Spotify not sure what the story is there.

But great stuff.

A chap, possibly a lady, almost certainly a chap up the page mentions Blue Skied an' Clear, a compilation of covers of Slowdive songs with a second disc of original tunes. I have also listened to this record during this year, although only part of it. This is my copy:
https://i.imgur.com/8yEz1xd.jpg

That's my actual copy of the record, touched by my hands. Last year I wrote a blog post about it, which I will copy here so that no-one can accuse me of trying to drive traffic to my blog:

"Let’s have a look at Morr Music's Blue Skied an’ Clear, a compilation album stroke label sampler from 2002. Disc one has covers of songs by top British shoegaze band Slowdive; disc two has original songs inspired by the band. So it was that in 2017 I was moved to write about an album of covers released in 2002 of a band that flourished and faded in the early 1990s, as if descending a staircase into the past. I gazed at translucent figures who could not see me; I studied their ways and surfaced gasping into the present. As I write these words I imagine invisible eyes from the future studying *me*.

Slowdive was a shoegaze band. What was shoegaze? In the gap between C86 and Britpop there emerged a generation of fey, pale teenagers whose guitars broadcast formless, distorted washes of sound to an audience that craved an aural comfort blanket. The genre had a good run but the leading lights split up or ran out of ideas or ground to a halt. Britpop obliterated the traces. Britpop was brash, populist, highly commercial; shoegaze was none of those things. It had an air of passive self-absorption that was at odds with Britpop's extrovert nature.

Slowdive passed me by at the time. I was into electronic music, and in those days it was difficult to become familiar with a wide range of different bands. You either had to borrow lots of records or have a lot of money. There was no Youtube, and Slowdive was never played on the radio. I could only read about them in the music press, except that I continually got them mixed up with Swervedriver, another shoegaze band - Slowdive and Swervedriver are the same colour, both red - so I can't be sure if my memories of the band are correct. From my point of view Slowdive and shoegaze was a blip that came and went between Madchester, ambient house, and then Britpop and drum'n'bass. It was part of the sadly doomed and forgotten pre-Britpop era.

The only shoegaze band that approached a commercial breakthrough was Ride, who managed a couple of top ten albums and a top ten single, although nowadays they tend to be thought of as a pre-Britpop indie band that had a shoegazing phase rather than a fully-fledged shoegazing band. My Bloody Valentine’s second album, Loveless, is generally regarded as the high point of the genre - the loudest, most formless, most diffident of all shoegaze records, the genre’s Kind of Blue. Slowdive never had a commercial heyday, and fan favourite Souvlaki was a victim of unfortunate timing. By 1993 the music press had grown tired of shoegaze and was more interested in the likes of James, The Wonder Stuff, Suede and so forth, and of course a year later the one-two punch of Definitely Maybe and Parklife opened the floodgates that swept Slowdive and shoegaze away forever, or at least it seemed at the time.

For some reason – I know not why – Slowdive became internet-fashionable again in the 2000s. The group recently reformed and has released a new album. Surprisingly, it’s terrific; a moody, floaty ambient indie pop record that manages to be formless and tuneful at the same time. In a just world "Sugar for the Pill" would be a massive radio hit. Judging by Youtube views the band has gained a whole new following, including this blue-haired woman who was moved to tears by the band's cover of Syd Barrett’s "Golden Hair":
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTZhG9YSY_c

But what of Blue Skied an' Clear? The covers on Disc One are solid but sound a bit thin, as if the bands were all pushed for time. The problem is that Slowdive's music was inseparable from the production, with the result that shorn of the band's wall of effects pedals the music doesn't have the same impact. The exception is múm's cover of "Machine Gun". The song has a killer melody but Slowdive's production was plodding and unimaginative; múm's take is subtler, and the sound would have fit perfectly on Finally We Are No One.

There's another problem, highlighted by Limp's take on "Souvlaki Space Station". The compilation was released in the wake of Warp Records' glitch-pop heyday and consequently several of the tracks have pointless sub-Squarepusher glitchy treatments that don't fit the material, "Space Station" among them. Disc two's "Fade Out Your Eyes" is a particular bad offender.

Ulrich Schnauss' "Crazy for You" is the second best cover, adding twangy guitars and a shuffling beat to the original, which sounded as if it had been recorded in a tunnel. A few years later Schnauss' version of the song was used in a Lucozade advert, sped-up:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWMpzLAAM4Y

I imagine Schnauss earned more from the advert than he did from Blue Skied an' Clear. During their career Slowdive tried to change their sound - they hired Brian Eno, although he didn't stick around for a whole album - but never really managed it. Their most recent album feels like the product of twenty years of gradual evolution rather than a sharp break, which is fine now but would have been disappointing if it was just Slowdive's hypothetical fifteenth studio album. It's fascinating to imagine what might have happened if Slowdive and Eno had hit it off; say what you like about U2, Achtung Baby was a major leap for the band and it did give them a second wind. Solvent's cover of "When the Sun Hits" reimagines Slowdive as Add N to X while Lali Puma's version of "40 Days" has something of Garbage about it but neither of them convincingly reinvent the band. Skanfrom's version of "Here She Comes" sounds like a Brian Eno solo track from one of his non-ambient vocal albums.

Disc two is a lot more variable. Whereas Disc One is listenable throughout, Disc Two has some complete stinkers, although it gets off to a great start with Manual's "Summer Haze" and Isan's "My Last Journey". "House Full of Time" and "Fade Our Your Eyes" aren't very good at all and Solvent's "Discontinued Parts" is godawful. Limp's "Silent Running" is nice - it sounds like an instrumental cover of "40 Days" - but again has tonnes of indifferently-executed, now-badly-dated glitches. I bought the album after hearing Icebreaker International and Manual's "Into Forever", which for me is the standout track. Schnauss' "Wherever You Are" is the other standout. The rest are basically inoffensive filler. That's (counts) four excellent tracks, three bad tracks, seven okay tracks. I find it hard to criticise the bands involved. They probably had six weeks to throw something together for the compilation and no extra money, so I imagine disc two is stuffed with demos that they didn't want to put out as b-sides.

Morr Music still exists. Blue Skied an' Clear was released physically on compact disc and triple vinyl. The vinyl has a poster and some twee stickers that made me smile. It's still on sale today albeit only digitally. It's one really good album of mostly Slowdive covers with a handful of original tunes as a bonus, plus some rubbish that you can skip, the end."

Just finished my 2018 year-end mix on Spotify that encompasses most of what I enjoyed this year. Sequencing builds tempo, energy, and loudness over the course of the mix and is intentionally relaxed and introspective in the first half (with exceptions), eventually moving into technicolor pop song territory in the second half.
