'fraid this wasn't really my jam. Much of the instrumentation towards either side of individual songs was to my liking but there was some kind of quasi-arena-rock/metal/sth vibe going on everywhere else (both in the vocals and dynamics within interludes and the like) that really turned me off... Idk it's definitely worth listening again but unless you think it's something best heard in a certain mindset I probably wont be revisiting in the near future...
edit: though as mentioned elsewhere, "Fandango" was quite enjoyable
looks like you're up next again? Alright another for gowi lemme think...
here's some 2015 stuff
Some strong vocal performances amidst some ambient soundscapes. There’s a few tracks on this short release that really strike me, but they strike me as pretty wonderful. This was a nice interlude between my listening schedule today and I most certainly appreciate it being shown to me though I’m not sure when I’ll be revisiting this though I feel like it should be soon since tracks like “Luci” and “Fraledune” are really awe-inspiring.
Why did I take so long to listen to this album. This may be one of the best jazz fusion albums, or even just jazz albums, that I've ever heard. The guitar, the organ, the whole atmosphere, holy crap what a fantastic album, I love it. Thanks a bunch.
side note: Gowi, did you ever listen to that Rudresh Mahanthrappa album I rec'd you awhile back in this thread? Just curious, no big deal if you haven't.
Took me some time to even find this to listen to, and I think I might still be missing another disc worth of stuff from it but I will tell you this of what I heard— I liked it quite a bit, gave me the impression that I should be watching some drama piece of El Cid or Zorro, really dense at times but still very airy and of course I think the Iberian languages sound fantastic. That said, I’m not the most experienced in the language or its music. Wouldn’t mind hearing again.
This was really fantastic. Was mysterious and otherworldly yet still made me feel all warm and cozy. Production was crazy creative with the subtle integration of field recordings, and the dreamy beats were, well, dreamy ^_^
Thank you Suede! Damn I might have to make one of those "recs I got from people" charts except I've gotten so much from you people I'd always be forgetting something...

I feel like a lot of it would be from me too, which I would not feel proud of, lol.
Anyway, you already know this from our session today on plug: but I liked it quite a bit, really cool stuff that reminds of Nahvalr only reminiscent of improvisational black metal from the genres infancy. Unsettling, interesting, and pretty cool. Worth a look.
I liked it, though not nearly as much as it feels like I should. There's some kind of disconnect between me and the album that I can't quite place. It's very well crafted but I'm definitely missing something... I think I'll listen again soon and edit in a more cohesive review, see if I can place what I'm feeling here
It probably comes as no surprise that I’m familiar with this Keiji Haino release, and as I relisten to bits of it I find myself liking it less and less. I remembered enjoying this release on my previous listens so I don’t know if it is my current mood or just a changing taste here as I’ve gotten into other experimental forms of what a friend of mine calls “free noise” (thus making a referential joke about free improvisation and noise in general). I like some of the ideas here, but that’s about it— it feels flat and almost uninspired to me. Shame.
