[theoootini]

senking - list. this album has been on heavy rotation of late...

 

[sweetoblivion]

fay's "time of the last persecution" is one of those re-discovered singer-songwriters (but closer to dylan, drake and cohen than today's derivatives) with a somewhat ideosyncratic style, along with albums like gary higgin's "red hash" and simon finn's "pass the distance".

this stuff isn't really my cup of tea, so i'll let someone else describe it further, but i have heard many people rave about it.

Interesting!
I have Red Hash, Paralleograms, that Mark Fry album, Karen Dalton et al, I seem to be amassing a lot of those 'rediscovered albums'. Some are fantastic.

[nlgbbbblth]

ooh what's the Bill fay record like? Sounds intriguing.

It's not very immediate. It's taking a while to grow on me.

His first LP, Bill Fay, is amazing. Soaring harmonies, chug-a-lug folk. Makes you wish you were around in the late 1960s.

 

[nlgbbbblth]

Red Crayola - Parable of Arable Land

i love the way every song on this record is described as a 'freeform freakout'. i've been getting into 'god bless the red krayola and all who sail with it' lately and it's deadly.

[SIZE=-1] “I Love You But I Have Chosen a Fourteen Year-Long Reverb Chamber” – Carl Portent

[/SIZE][SIZE=-1]Carl Portent began work on a fourteen year-long reverb chamber in 1996. Now completed and stretching for several thousand miles, the echo chamber is capable of generating a reverb time of fourteen years. The sole song on this album details Portent’s ex-wife’s reluctance to indulge his obsession. The song itself is only thirty-two seconds long, but with reverb saturating the mix, the running time is considerably greater. Due to technical limitations (the song will take at least fourteen years to record and mix) this CD constitutes only the first hour of the finished project. Subsequent CDs will be released every hour for the next fourteen years, with a 122,640 disc boxed-set due for release in 2020. “I wanted to capture, sonically, the emptiness of a Universe without God” explained Portent, before shooting himself in the face with a crossbow.

[/SIZE][SIZE=-1]"Reach for the Sky: The Best Aspirational Sports Rock Album in the World Ever " (various artists)[/SIZE][SIZE=-1]
Stirring compilation of morale-boosting rock anthems designed for team building, group discipline and positive thinking exercises. Be your best with Chesney Hawkes' "I Am the One and Only" on repeat play as you endure four hours of gruelling circuit training under the supervision of a humourless ex-military fitness instructor. Survivor's 'Eye of the Tiger' is the perfect Ipod companion to your morning ritual of six raw eggs mixed with some orange juice and then jogging for fucking ages around Philadelphia or whatever. Fretwork's postive mental attitude classic "Hard (if you wanna be a winner you gotta try really really)" will get you in just the right mindset for beating the living shit out of innocent punters after drinking ten cans of Red Bull when working the door at an inner-city nightclub. Practising your menacing, officious, tightly-coiled-spring glare in front of the bedroom mirror, straightening your tie, combing what's left of your hair, fastening your bomber jacket up to your fat fucking neck and spraying half a can of Lynx into your groin, the heavily compressed guitar solo is perfectly synchronised to your every movement, and you are the hero in the movie of your life. Yeah. Fuck yeah. Destroy. Wotchoo lookin at you fackin cant? Oi. Oi! You ya cant. watchoo lookin at? come 'ere you fuckin prick.

[/SIZE]“Blank Verse” – Sound/Map/Vision

[SIZE=-1]The new album from Dan Coma’s S/M/V project exhibits a new-found irreverence and subversive whimsy. “People didn’t really get the jokes on my previous records, so I’ve pushed the humour to the forefront this time” he explains. Opener “[*Poq.]” exhibits an avuncular assymetry, hopping blithely between 16/4 and a gently knowing 17/300 signature. This immediately presents the listener with a conundrum: a playful juxtaposition or a brave (if foolhardy) musical portmanteau? Further on, Coma pulls off more sonic subterfuge, shoe-horning Foie-Gras Jazz rudiments into a regressive limbic-toto. The coruscating interregnum “Cratpdukn (l)” is perhaps too obvious a side-swipe at the moribund Bench Core scene, but when Coma transcends the exegetical limitations of the song-as-satire, his quarry resides squarely in the crosshairs. “Pumped Jennison” is tipped at a sound 14 to 1, with “Honey Girdles” still the firm favourite at 3 to 1. A robust, if occasionally profligate contribution.
