From Rocky:
Aguirre by Popol Vuh
I haven't heard this before but I have seen the movie. Great movie! To be trite though, the music didn't stand out to me then and it doesn't now. Seriously though I struggle to get into ambient music, and film scores on their own, so not great potential to start off with, although I am starting to get into krautrock a bit more. There were a couple of tracks I liked (track 3 & 4) but the 16 minute one bored me. After that the damage had been done and I guess it was okay but nothing more. To be honest though, after a few beers as the sun goes down was probably not the best time to listen to this album.

From glynspa:
Vintage Violence by John Cale
This one was tough for me. I like a LOT of what he's doing in here, but ultimately it's lacking "punch" or impact for me. I liked the pianos, the occasional twangy guitar, and I appreciate how ahead-of-his-time this is. Like some other bigger names from this time, though, I tend to like the bands who were their influences, and the band who came later who were influenced by them. Granted, in John Cale's case I wouldn't be surprised that modern artists like Sufjan Stevens or much of the good dream pop being influenced by this, so his influence I would think is a pretty long window.

From Rocka:
Purple by Baroness
That's as good a reason as any to give me this album Rocka. It's a good album title and cover (you know...because of the purple hippyness). I remember the single Shock Me. It got decent airplay on the radio station I listen to at work but it never appealed enough to listen to the album. But it's a good indicator of what the album is like because that's exactly what you get. A consistent album without much variety where all the songs sound similar to Shock Me. While decent enough Baroness fit into that category of being in the middle ground of a little bit too heavy for my tastes...but not heavy enough for my tastes. I prefer one or the other when it comes to this type of music.
