Interesting - never heard an album open up with a vocal thank you/introduction like this. Live, sure, but never in a studio record. It's a bit like a thank you/introduction/commercial... Anyway. There's something about this record that I like actually. It reminds me of Roy Orbison or Willie Nelson. It's not my favorite thing, but it just feels right somehow. I think I would've barfed when I was younger trying to listen to this, but imagining a smokey bar and some whiskey - somehow both broken, yet full of hope. It's an aesthetic I've always loved (the bittersweet), but neither is this record great at it. IDK - I got sucked in, so gotta give him something ok - 3/75. I just believed it somehow. I think it'd be better if it were an E.P. Though... I got a bit bored.

Man, what a ride! This must be what you would get if Tangerine Dream recorded an Unplugged set. I drew that parallel while listening to “The Side of Man and Womankind”, and so because I had TD on my mind, I really was anticipating “The Side of the Machine” to be electronic. I was kind of bummed that it wasn’t, but my disappointment waned pretty quickly when I realized it was the better side of the album. It was too, too good...each instrument sounds as if it’s swirling in place separate, yet adjacent to the others...total geometric abstraction.
Also, Conrad’s improvisational violin style was obviously a huge influence on Henry Flynt, especially considering that he played with Flynt’s idol, La Monte Young.

Groovin’ isn’t my favorite of those choices, but it’s a strong album with a couple of great garage numbers and I just feel like picking it. :)

Cardinal by Pinegrove
This was pretty good! I can definitely see what babyBlueSedan likes here. There's plenty of folk here mixed with the usual indie grooves. The singer Nick Levine has a great voice for this type of music, it's passionate but in a cool, lazy way. If that makes any sense. And the lyrics are good, the whole album has this theme of connecting and reconnecting with other people, as well as with yourself. So typical indie content, but it seems sincere and well put. Consistent, although a bit short album. I think the highlight is Cadmium, it has a great buildup and fantastic chorus at the end. Size of the Moon was another good one. 7.5/10
Some great lines:
"I tried travel once, I lost my keys"
"I got caught, you got those Caravaggio moves" - this one is a brilliant quote

Wow that's a lot of great stuff that's on my shortlist. Also quite a few great albums I've heard, like The Age of Adz. I heard it in this game a month or so ago, and I must've listened to it 5-6 times since then. Try it Jameth 😁

Sorry from not popping in in this forum. I think the setup I was doing kinda burned me. That and the work I had during the last quarter of 2019. But I kinda call this set up somewhat over for me. I did listen to the Silent Hill 2 OST. And thought it was quite excellent. Like grade wise a 90. But I'm still here. Not only am I back in the diary section of the site, I have been going through 1997 if anyone is curious. Have almost 60 albums done. Trying to get to 250 to have a full year chart.
Also don't worry Jameth. I feel like you'll probably enjoy some of those albums.
No doubt I will (I was teasing), your chart is very eclectic. And I understand being burned out, I was away for the same reason. I got burned out on listening to new music, in particular, and needed a couple of months to enjoy what I’d found.
Good luck with 1997, man! I doubt I could stick with any one year for that long. I’ll keep an eye on your diary. _________________ Can you play free, or in three, or agree to try something new?

Jane's Addiction.Faith No More. And Primus. These were the three bands that invented Alt Metal. It was 1990. Hair metal was still king. And these freaks from Cali dropped this nugget on us changing metal forever & ever. Amen. Word of it spread like wild fire in the underground scene. And it still sounds fresh this many years later. And NO ONE could manipulate the mosh pit like these guys. No one.
Primus cranked out two other essential Alt Metal albums - Sailing The Seas of Cheese & Pork Soda - before quietly sailing off my horizon. But, that's more a matter of taste. I'm not the biggest fan of their goofy sense of humor or funk metal. So for me, owning three is plenty. But all three kick serious ass and belong in any metalhead's collection. Grade: A. Essential Primus. Essential Alt Metal. Essential 1990!

12. Neil Young – Ragged Glory
13. Danzig – II
14. Athiest – Piece Of Time
15. Obituary – Cause of Death
Although this is named after the great Picasso painting, this is not a masterpiece. It's OK, but sometimes "Experimental" music is just that, an obvious attempt to create something new, but in this case it's not great. The long track I linked was probably one of the better ones, and anything with prominent vocals was atrocious. So, not the best choice on my part. 😁
Primus does indeed suck. They suck live even more. 😎 I'll give a relisten to Artillery even though I know that I already like it.
Vanilla - Sweet Talk
His Name Is Alive - 1985-1989 Early Works
Maggi Payne-Crystal
Flamingosis - Pleasure Palette
菊池ひみこ (Himiko Kikuchi)-All Right
Riccardo Sinigaglia- Riflessi

Heldon - Électronique Guerilla
Cypher 7- Dead Drop
Robert John- Robert John
Nihonjin - Far Out
They suck live even more.😎 I'll give a relisten to Artillery even though I know that I already like it.
Totally. lol. I'm glad you've seen them too. Unforgettable for me. Seen them about four times. The second time was one of the greatest live experiences of my life.
Never heard Artillery so psyched to check it out. 😁

1959-1960 isn't my favorite era of Charles Mingus. I enjoy his three studio LPs, but find none of them to be spectacular classics. But it turns out this live performance from 1960, released sixteen years after the fact, is a whole other ballgame. The combo tears through the majority of these tracks with infectious abandon. When it gets mellower, it stays engaging. And there's even a sense of humor that comes through at times. I think the chemistry with Eric Dolphy is what really makes this all work so well. Just a great jazz record. 4/5.
