A long time favourite. I also really love the records Jürgen Gleue put out as The Phantom Payn, particularly 'Trouble with Ghosts'.

Album of the year. Cancel all upcoming releases (which, incidentally, will save me a lotta money).

Eurythmics Take Me To Your Heart Live From Heaven 1983

FACS - Take Me to Your Heart


for all the kids that have never heard of the Eurythmics. Like the ones behind me at FACS' merch desk yesterday evening after their gig. They were reading out loud from Wikipedia :D
(there seems to be no better sounding live version from FACS yet on YT, sorry about that)

I'm banging whatever Eliane Radigue releases I can get my hands on, today: Jetsun Mila

Had "Mary's Song" stuck in my head randomly. Took it as a hint.

I like the compositions on this, generally, but I'm not a big fan of the production.

Felt like listening to one of those albums that spawned many a sample. Very solid Space Age Pop.

misra-l-oksan - If you like Thurston's acoustic shenanigans then this will be reet up ye' alley.

The Last Match is one of my favourite albums of all time but their other two records never really did much for me. It's been a long time though so maybe I should try again.

Recent listening:

Guided By Voices and Fading Captain Series, going through the records of theirs I don't listen to as often. E.g. Hold on Hope EP, Under The Bushes..., Airport 5, Moping Swans, Hazard Hotrods, Lexo & The Leapers, Get Out of My Stations, Static Airplane Jive, Tiger Bomb, Selective Service, Tonics and Twisted Chasers.

Also:

Soundbombing vol.1
Darren Tate - No Longer Here
Love Peace & Poetry - South America
Inca Ore & Lemon Bear

Ichiko Aoba - Luminescent Creatures

I feel like this may be the sort of album I'll only fully embrace upon repeat listening. There's a lot I really like about it, but it has yet to fully click. "Luciférene" and the closer "Wakusei no Namida" instantly hooked me though. Lovely stuff. Will listen to it again.

Loads of Nelly, particularly 'Nellyville', plus The Stooges' 'Raw Power'.
