This was fantastic. Not quite as good as a few other albums I've heard, but definitely a broad stroke of genius this guy. 4/85.

That Colin Potter album was only half of the recording on the youtube stream, so I'm not going to add it, since I didn't get a full listen. But, what I heard, I really enjoyed. Improvisational minimal synth with guitar over it; in the vein of Manuel Gottsching, but actually before E2 E4.
Seth, Hosiann Mantra is a Krautrock classic, and one I might add back onto my own overall chart at some point.

Today, I Wrote Nothing by Billy Woods
Some excellent lyrics on this one. But it was to be expected since it's Billy Woods. The production is mostly great, Elucid features a lot and his lines are nice too. Some dull moments but not a lot of them, however the album didn't really stand out to me as particularly interesting as a whole. A lot of short tracks about a lot of different themes, with several different producers. A bit incoherent, maybe that's the problem. Several standouts are U-Boats, Zulu Tolstoy, Scales, Dark Woods, True Stories and Borrowed Time. 8/10

This was pretty good. It was on one edge of the uncanny valley a few times into that new age world I don't like, and then other times on the ambient side of things I do like and some times it sat in the valley just right. So minus some cheese factors at times I could see why someone would choose to listen to this over Pink Floyd or the such who also played in this world around the same time, but I'd still choose Pink Floyd due to the rock edge given (a beat). 4/85.

A dungeon synth album with elements of medieval folk mixed in. This stuff is great to set a mood, and if I was a DND playing person, then I would likely have this going during a campaign. Not that amazing in the grand scheme of things though.
Seth, Bottomless Pit is slowly becoming my favorite of Death Grips.

About a week ago I listened to Blood Sugar Sex Magik, an old favourite of mine that's in my decade chart, so it was good timing to listen to this now. I'm missing the funk here and there just doesn't seem to be as much life and spunk to this. After the success of Californication it's like they became easy listening alternative rock...almost dad rock....but it was an easy listen, and I am a dad, so I did enjoy this but there was nothing exciting. Also like the other RHCP albums I've heard, including Blood Sugar Sex Magik, it could do with some trimming, and the singles are the best tracks. 7/10, and 34/45 for 2002.
Rocka, Christina Kubisch – Night Flights sounds bit different. Might be interesting.
Now for my favourite decade, the 90's. Time to catch up on some I missed out on at the time and haven't gotten around to yet...and possibly some I've forgotten that I've heard. I'm looking forward to this.

Purple I've always thought that By The Way was their most consistent record. Not the best, but the only song that I'd confidently throw out is Warm Tape. That's maybe just nostalgia talking heh. And Venice Queen is possibly their best song, what a great piece of music. And they probably are dad rock at this point, but who cares 😁

T R I S H by Odd Nosdam
Some pretty solid ambient tracks, sometimes mixed with glitchy production typical of Odd Nosdam (of Clouddead). But unfortunately it wasn't long enough to really have an impact on me. In 6 songs and 25 minutes running time it didn't manage to create an atmosphere, or at least the atmosphere didn't last long enough to be captivating. The songs were too short and especially the 2 shortest tracks (Lonjae and Equal) weren't very good. It's a cassette rather than an album, and it very much felt like that. It sounded like half-baked Fennesz a bit. There were some good cuts (Ladders, Olynn and the title track), but this is 7/10.

Perfect From Now On. One of the best indie records of that time, and the follow up is equally good imo.

First track is incredible, then the next two tracks are OK. The first one has so many different bizarre sounds that evoke a lot of images. It's called "The Cat's Dream", there is literally a point where it sounds like a cat is purring. I'm not even sure how she does that.
Ledzep, try Actress.

Fiona Apple's albums have been on my to-do list for years, but this is the first one I've gotten around to, so I don't have the same reference points others might. This album has instrumentals that are often interesting and creative, paired well with strong vocals. The songwriting is good throughout, with just a couple that I would consider great songs as of first listen. It's possible that some will click with me more later, but as of now I haven't fully bought in. 3.5/5.

One of those bandcamp artists that makes dozens of recordings over a couple of years and then disappears. A nice little field recording, abstract soundscape that doesn't ask much of the listener, but is pleasant enough during it's brisk 22 minute runtime.
Baystate, listen to Sabbath next, then go to Jimmy's chart.
