Atlas Sound - Let The Blind Lead THose Who Can See But Cannot Feel + Another Bedroom EP (2 LP)



Albert Ayler - Holy Ghost (9 CDs!!!)



The latter I bought becuase I was stunned to find it in my local record store at the absurdly cheap price of £34 (and becuase it's completely amazing, obviously). The former I picked becuase I needed one more item to fill out my loyalty card for a discount, it's a great cover, and I liked Cryptograms a lot. So overall those 2 cost me a very slim £19 with my discount. Nice!

this is my last album i bought: just have two parts of one composition - guitar trio - played live in several cities the same piece sound always different in the 10 performs of this album (divided in three cd's)
who knows Chatham and love minimalism is a good album.

you liar!!! smelly hippie quarterly (a.k.a. arthur) is free!

nice score, by the way.

it maybe free in the US but i still had to pay £1 for this, to cover delivery :D

ahh true, my bad.

the new kylie minoise fucking hates you records, both are fucking great, easily one of the best noise acts going right now.

Picked it up at half price books this evening.

Pubic Fruit - Curve
The Sky's Gone Out - Bauhaus

Disc Exchange is having buy 3, get 1 on used cds. So look for 4 or 8 more soon.

Today's purchases, all on CD:
Extended Play (w/DVD) - Ladytron
Velocifero - Ladytron
2 - Darker My Love
So Long, Scarecrow - Scarling. (YES!!! another AMAZING find)
Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space - Spiritualized
Close Before Striking - Luna
S/T - LSD and the Search for God
Whip It On - The Raveonettes
Green Mind Reissue - Dinosaur Jr.
White Light/White Heat - The Velvet Underground (I thought it was time to buy a proper copy)

omg, I wanna spend that much money at once too!!!

The only one that was a new cd was the Spiritualized one, all the others were used. With tax it was $79.

okay, thats a bargain for that amount of good records

I was gonna pick that up at the record store last time I was out there, but didn't have enough : (

i had luck cause was the last in the store and that kind of album it's hard to find where i live.

Oh man, do I love this album. I don't think ANOTHER BEDROOM holds up quite as well, but the album is incredible.

Yeah that's pretty awesome.
I dont think its easy to come by anywhere though.

I largely agree about Another Bedroom, but 'It Rained' makes it worth it. One of the best songs on it. I also wish they'd kept the whole of the EP on side 4, instead of having the first track of it close out side 3, because it means you have to race to the turntable to stop it at 'Let The Blind Lead..." if you want experience just the album.

As for the album proper, yeah, it seems excellent. I've yet to listen to it enough to judge whether it ranks higher than Cryptograms, but I feel it may well in the end. It just has a really wonderful vibe to it. I've played it through 3 whole times in less than 24 hours, which is a lot when you consider it's competing with the Ayler set (which, incidentally, is, aesthetically at least, possibly the most beautiful musical item I've owned. The music obviously needs no talking up)

SYR8. Finally.

Roxy Music - Country Life*
Okkervil River - The Stand Ins
The Kinks - The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society*
The Kinks - The Kink Kronikles*
The Seeds - The Seeds/A Web of Sounds
John Coltrane - Ole Coltrane*
Burzum - Burzum/Aske*
John Fahey - The Transfiguration of Blind Joe Death*

*already have these, but needed a better quality rip

I'd rank them almost equally. Though they are very different beasts. But they both hit me the same way which was FIRST LISTEN: eh, it's okay.. wht's all the hype for? think I'll listen again. SECOND LISTEN: yeah. it's good. not great. I want to hear it again. THIRD LISTEN: I can't stop listening to this.

jim o rourke - long night

cant wait till it arrives

I'd say exactly the same for both. Never have I heard music that so rigidly seems to follow the "rule of three".

yup. his music is like an iceberg. LET THE BLIND is a definite contender for my "album of the year" thus far.

To scrap my MP3 copy:

Got these vinyl goodies today as a present from my old boss:

Nurse With Wound - Insect And Individual Silenced

Nurse With Wound - Ostranenie 1913

Death In June - Black Whole Of Love box set

Eno - Here Come The Warm Jets, mint Japanese press w/OBI

Doctor Druid's Haunted Seance

its been wierd, but for over 24 hrs ive totally abandoned experimental/noise/avant music, and gone bac to classic rock and rock n roll and punk! its all ive been in the mood for, i mean, about three years ago, i got totally fed up with conventional rock and dove head fucking first into the world of waaaaaaaaaaaay left field underground extreme shit. and this feels like that, but the opposite. like my brain wants me to listen to music to calm me, instead of roll around on my back on the ground while convulsing listening to cock esp or dave phillips or darkthrone or us maple etc... so, right now its neil young-zuma (i cant decide if this or on the beach is my favorite, both are fucking epic)

and before:
bob dylan and the band-the basement tapes volumes 1 and 2 (i seriously love this music, im sick of dylan hating, so you dont think he was the best poet ever, i agree, but he was damn sure one of the best songwriters ever)
van morrison-veedon fleece
bob dylan-s/t (his 'house of the rising sun' shits all over the fucking animals, lame band)
the stones-beggars banquet, aftermath
sabbath-master of reality, sabbah bloody sabbath
the grateful dead-live at the filmore east
pavement-brighten the corners
led zeppelin-physical grafitti
jimi hendrix-axis:bold as love
the velvet underground-VU
the ramones-rockets to russia


seriously, i cant stop, but it feels so good. im so glad i didnt sell any of my records from any of my music phases. because with some stuff, especially records as good as the ones mentioned above, it doesnt matter what youre into, or what you think youre about, those records remain great, some things dont change.

and oh yeah, im stoned too much lately (so much so that ive been slacking on investigating into music, im like, 2 weeks behind, new metallica rules though)

and lots of early alice cooper, and the cramps

ah man i thought i was posting on 'what are you listening to?'

i gotta get my fucking shit together

Black Wooden Ceiling Opening by Mount Eerie
I finally picked it up

Unwound - Challenge for a Civilized Society

my latest buys i got from brighton except the shit spangled banner which came in post today

batreleaser, I love Dylan. And I love the Velvets even more.

the good stuff never gets suck. it stays good and waits for you to come back from yr sonic experiments. it will always be there for you.

Got these to help me ride out the storm:

Wow, whats that record on the top right? Looks pretty.
