Album Recommendations 2018

Hey, belboid and us saw them double that.

 

dunno if it's worst, I haven't listened to it in years but it's sounding brilliant so far. I'm quite into that smooth overproduced pop sound right now mind...

 

Here is the groundation then.

 

The roxy comparison i made was with first two of course.

 

I could hear tons of other "homages" to other artists on the ezra furman album, but honestly roxy music just didn't ever jump to mind. Anyway, it is a fine album regardless, not perfect but definitely entertaining and takes me away.

 

Which makes me want to put on Alex Cameron's last record. Also better than anything by Roxy.

 

ohh I see, I haven't heard either of those.

 

haha weirdo.

 

Well then you have a whole heap of joy coming

 

For Your Pleasure is the best rutabowa

 

It's a seriously good album. One of the best of last year, easily.

 

I actually meant I hadn't heard the 1st two ezra furman albums, I thought that was what the post was referring too! but yeh of course I'm sure the first roxy music albums are well worth listening to properly. I love "mother of pearl" of course, that is one of my all time favourites.

 

I'm sure I've heard it all at some point anyway some of my friends were in this group "proxy music" for a bit so it was getting played a lot. That was where the "proxy music" half joke I made that everyone missed came from.

 

oh I see. Maybe it was... Eno left after the second Roxy album, so they sound a different after, I thought that's what butch was on about. It might be!

 

I know a guy who was in Proxy Music - you know Jimmy?

 

You guys

 

no I don't know him, or at least not well.

 

What does this mean?

 

I was too early with the Mudhoney excitement: it's not out 'til next Friday.

I did get the new Aphex EP today though, and, on first listen, it's good. I can tell that it'll reward repeat listens. [It's officially an EP and only 29 minutes long, so does it count for this thread?]

 

Perfectly sensible

 

‘Don’t ask, don’t tell has always been the rule.

Although that might be the AotY

 

Loads of albums are 20-30 mins long, or even less! But the aphex thing is def an ep not an album. I put some EPs in this thread though.

 

EP7 by Autechre is 70 minutes long.

 

an album has to be over 25 minutes if it to 'officially' be an album in the UK

 

The Orb's Blue Room was a 40-minute single, and even made the top ten.

 

Ok. People should still post them in this thread tho even if they don't quite fit the rule! As it is one of my 3 main places for keeping up.

 

We are ILL wins the LoudWomen "Hercury" prize Ill scoop the 2018 HERcury Prize for ‘We Are Ill’

 

The Tropical Fuck Storm album is just superb.

 

Game of Chess anyone?

 

A colleague said the opener reminded her of Echo and The Bunnymen.
