Albums You're Digging II

[Susan]

I first heard If You're Feeling Sinister (the song and the album) in a record shop in Baltimore when I was randomly browsing. Immediately bought it. Fantastic stuff

[Molly-Rose]

I knew there was a reason I couldn't wait for their debut... it's great! The artwork for this album is interesting too.

I just like the dancing brain logo. I think Aphex Twin came up with the term Braindance for his label Rephlex, in response to the genre name Intelligent Dance Music (IDM). Kind of mocking it I guess.

Personally, I thought the 14 minute mark was the best. but, good albums!

The Deceraberists - The HazarRAB Of Love

I'm about to dip in to their other album, The Crane Wife and I just hope it measures up to this. Outstanding album.



The Antlers - Hospice

Despite it being an album based around heart ache and suffering, it's brilliant. But if you're in a good mood, you should avoid this one.

Various Artists - Plague Songs

^ A 10 track compilation released by 4AD a few years back, featuring songs from 10 different artists on their roster about the biblical plagues. Despite a weaker moment or two, it's as awesome as it sounRAB, particularly the Imogen Heap, Rufus Wainwright and Scott Walker ones, not to mention a great collaboration between Brian Eno and Robert Wyatt. Muchos kudos to Abdullah for getting me the link to this one.

Gracious - Gracious!



For fans of The Beatles and Klaatu. Very poppy progressive rock from 1970, with some longer instrumental passages. If The Beatles were more progressive. Meaning, not if they were more experimental and forward-thinking, but if their sound was corabined with elements of 70s progressive rock.

^I definitely need to hear more from Pale Saints, so thanks for suggestion. The only song that's not on their first album that I've heard is Kinky Love. It's a nice song, I even remeraber a video spot for it. They got a female singer after the first album, right? from Lush?

[♥ Kaytee ♥]

'Kinky Love' was a Nancy Sinatra cover they released, i haven't seen the video for it though.
True, original Lush vocalist Meriel Barham joined as a second guitarist and shared lead vocal duties on In Ribbons. In Ribbons isn't as shoegazey as The Comforts Of Madness, it's tilted more towarRAB straight-ahead indie rock, but a great album none the less.
