  1. I was just about to post this, had the URL ready and everything. But yeah, thanks to Breathe, this is album of the day. I actually prefer the second half of the album to the first half now. Cedars of Lebanon is brilliant.
  2. Checking out what the fuzz is about:

  3. ^ You have taste.

  4. The album is really, really interesting. Have you listened to it? I'm thinking the album suits you quite well.

    To make a U2 inspired description. This is Outside Broadcast Soul.
  5. I haven't - I'll listen to some stuff when I've finished off what I'm doing - but I know Bobby Womack is pretty good, generally.

  6. I'd imagine this album is nothing like anything he's done before.
  7. I've not listened to a lot of BW (I kept thinking for a moment Bobby Keys!!!) but yes it looks very world-sounding.

    Today's album of choice will be an album called 'This Is Silver Ray'. I can't find a big-enough image for it but here's a quick review:

    It's always difficult to describe this sort of sound, but Silver Ray make it a little easier by incorporating plenty of nice piano lines that border on outright lounge or jazz melodies at times, meshing well with very restrained and appropriate guitar lines. Restraint does seem to be the name of the game throughout the album, and despite that it really does feel as though the band have managed to jam their way to six excellent tracks, building up from basic ideas into fully fledged epics, all live in the studio.

    The first two lengthy tracks in particular demonstrate this very well, somehow transforming a sound that would be more at home in a laid-back jazz bar into something that occupies ten minutes of space very well, despite never straying into the trap of overstaying their welcome. They don't sound cinemtic or orchestral in arrangement like Godspeed!, being a little too minimalist for that - the closest that I can get is applying a delicate, tasteful jazz touch to the post-rock stylings of a band like Mogwai at their softest.
  10. Cant beat vinyl!
  12. ^ Love it
