Lying in bed listening to a NEW Slowdive record and the world feels like a better place.

Ruddy, ruddy lovely.

I just can’t get excited for an At the Drive-In record in 2017. The best you can hope for is, “not as shit as I expected” or perhaps, “better than Refused’s comeback.”

Have slightly higher hopes for the Afghan Whigs album.

New At The Drive-In track

New Slowdive, natch.

I started my day with Luke Vibert Presents UK Garave Vol 1. I’m a huge fan of Luke Vibert in all his guises - still sounds like he’s having loads of fun making music after all these years (unlike, say, Squarepusher). This offering does what it says on the tin - throwback rave and garage. Definitely a good listen while the sun’s shining.

Currently on The Imperfect Sea by Penguin Cafe. It’s nominally modern classical (my general ambivalence towards that genre is well-documented on these forums), but it’s layering it on top of percussion (which I am well on-board with) and sounds absolutely lovely. Will post in the ambient thread if the remainder of the album is as good as the first few tracks.
Edit: I see @bruised_blood has already mentioned this

Although I completely failed to provide descriptions, so thank you for covering that bit. :wink:

I’m really enjoying it. Omar is in fine form

#16

Really looking forward to this one. Hoping it, Forest Swords and Penguin Cafe show up on eMusic today, as I’ve got a bunch of credit saved up.

The Slowdive LP will be one i’ll listen to over and over, but first impressions are that the final two thirds of it are really nice, but sadly lack the energy of the first third, which is fine, but maybe not what i was expecting.

#18

Looking forward to listening to the new Omar Rodriguez-Lopez (feat. At The Drive-In) album today.

It’s a winner in my books! Much mellower than his previous material. Moonlight on the River is gorgeous!

Cheers, I knew there was something. I’m only familiar with the original stuff from the 80s so will be interesting to see how this matches up.
