_ O _ P _ I _ U _ M __ H _ U _ M _: BORIS One of my absolute favorite records of any genre.

Utopian, synth-driven space music ripped, complete with vocoder, straight out of the 70s, but with a few elements -- slightly crisper, cleaner production, a breakbeat here and there -- that betray the fact that it was all written, recorded, and releasedin 1999.

M __ H _ U _ M _: TONES ON TAIL Tones on Tail - Pop (1984) First and only album from this Daniel Ash (Bauhaus) side-project. Shades-on cool and pitch-black, but with a sense of musical adventurousness and diversity that keeps things interesting and, dare I say it, fun. And if you can think of a more goth song title than "The Never Never (Is Forever)", I'd like to hearit. 1.
_ O _ P _ I _ U _ M __ H _ U _ M _: THIS KIND OF This Kind of Punishment - A Beard of Bees (1984) Old-school New Zealand indie rock. To these ears, A Beard of Bees plays kinda like deconstructed, piano-based post-punk, but with a warm, lo-fi sound and, despite an abundance of melancholy, a sense of playfulness. And yes, those songs are supposed to end abruptly like that. Tracklisting: 1.
M __ H _ U _ M _: SPACE Space - Magic Fly (1977) Synth-fueled, retro-futuristic French disco. Everything about this record is heaven-sent, including the music video for the title track, which is the pinnacle of human achievement thus far. Track listing: 1. Fasten Seat Belt. 2. Ballad for Space Lovers.3.
_ O _ P _ I _ U _ M __ H _ U _ M _: BORIS Amplifier Worship is fucking perfect -- from the slow-burning, layered riff-drone à la Lysol intro, to the ridiculously heavy, pissed-off sludge that follows, to the careening, percussion-heavy, hypno-hardcore midsection, through to the mournful post-rock denouement and, finally, the cleansing, minimal filth of "Vomitself". 1.

Helldrivers. _ O _ P _ I _ U _ M __ H _ U _ M _: LABRADFORD Evocative, slow-burning drone and dark, minimal post-rock. Listening to Prazision LP is akin to that feeling you get when you're exploring a dimly-lit alien planet after having crash-landed, slowly growing accustomed to the notion that you're never going to be able to return to your home planet and will die alone in a beautiful but barrenexpanse.

Song is the only full-length they recorded as Giant, and it's very much in line with the Isis-worship that was so prevalent in the American metal scene around this time, but unlike 99% of those bands, Giant had personality -- songs without obvious resolutions, some strings here, a hint of emo there -- and were actually really _ O _ P _ I _ U _ M __ H _ U _ M _: TRINACRIA First and only album from what essentially amounts to a collaborative project between the mighty Enslaved and Norwegian experimental/noiseduo Fe-Mail.
_ O _ P _ I _ U _ M __ H _ U _ M _: FANGER & KERSTEN A perfect piece of Berlin-school, progressive electronic magic from a coupla Germans. Utopian, synth-driven space music ripped, complete with vocoder, straight out of the 70s, but with a few elements -- slightly crisper, cleaner production, a breakbeat here and there -- that betray the fact that it was all written, recorded, and releasedin 1999.

M __ H _ U _ M _: FLOWERS Flowers - Icehouse (1980) Australian new wave. Icehouse is pretty much perfect. There's some goth-y brooding, some punk-tinged anthems, some angular post-punk guitar work, some synth-y nods to Low -era Bowie, and all with a cohesive overarching vision.

Utopian, synth-driven space music ripped, complete with vocoder, straight out of the 70s, but with a few elements -- slightly crisper, cleaner production, a breakbeat here and there -- that betray the fact that it was all written, recorded, and releasedin 1999.
_ O _ P _ I _ U _ M __ H _ U _ M _: MATT MITCHELL The proper solo debut of jazz pianist Matt Mitchell. Features just Mitchell on piano and percussionist Ches Smith, who's been involved with a million different projects, including Secret Chiefs 3, Trevor Dunn's Trio-Convulsant, and the above-linked MadLove.Anxious, discordant, arhythmic pieces in pursuit of a resolution that neverquite comes.
_ O _ P _ I _ U _ M __ H _ U _ M _: FLESH WORLD Deathrock/dream pop hybrid from SF. Echoing drums, reverb-washed guitars, creepy keyboards, and vocal melodies/guitar leads/overallsongwrit
_ O _ P _ I _ U _ M __ H _ U _ M _: BORIS Amplifier Worship is fucking perfect -- from the slow-burning, layered riff-drone à la Lysol intro, to the ridiculously heavy, pissed-off sludge that follows, to the careening, percussion-heavy, hypno-hardcore midsection, through to the mournful post-rock denouement and, finally, the cleansing, minimal filth of "Vomitself". 1. Huge. 2. Ganbou-Ki. M __ H _ U _ M _: HERMÓÐR Hermóðr - Vinter (2014) Swedish depressive black metal. Arpeggiating, melancholic chord progressions slowly unfold into simple, mantra-like, ever-so-slightly folk-ish leads, as ghostly vocals melt into the fog. Effortlessly beautiful, goosebump-inducing stuff. Track listing: 1. Frostfödd. _ O _ P _ I _ U _ M __ H _ U _ M _: MY LIFE WITH THE Old school techno-industrial. Cheap beats, dissonant bass-lines, clattering keyboards, and people screaming/shouting/moaning about drugs, murder, sex, hating Jesus, etc. M __ H _ U _ M _: SPACE Space - Magic Fly (1977) Synth-fueled, retro-futuristic French disco. Everything about this record is heaven-sent, including the music video for the title track, which is the pinnacle of human achievement thus far. Track listing: 1. Fasten Seat Belt. 2. Ballad for Space Lovers.3.
_ O _ P _ I _ U _ M __ H _ U _ M _: KATE BUSH My lady is performing at a Kate Bush tribute event next week, so I've been listening to a bunch of Bush's stuff, and keep coming back to her first LP, The Kick Inside.It's not as musically adventurous as The Dreaming or Hounds of Love, which I'm going to assume you've already heard; it's more like a prog-ish take on 70s pop/rock.But it's a remarkable record in its own right -- pretty muchBUNNY WAILER
If you didn't already know, you might still have guessed that Bunny Wailer was one of the original members of The Wailers. Blackheart Man is his highly acclaimed first solo album. I don't know all that much about the genre, but I do know that this is easily some of the best roots reggae that I've heard. FRIDAY, MARCH 6, 2020 VAMPILLIA - ALCHEMIC HEART (2011)Related:
Skin - _Shame, Humility, Revenge_ (1988) Boredoms - _Super Roots 7_ (1998) Mono & World's End Girlfriend - _Palmless Prayer / Mass MurderRefrain_ (2005)
Vampillia - _Rule the World / Deathtiny Land_ (2011) Transcendent debut album from this self-described "brutal orchestra." Two expansive compositions encompassing beautiful, shimmering drone; vocals that range from death metal growls to haunting operatic singing; massive walls of tremolo-picked guitars and strings; devastating poetry courtesy of Jarboe; and Merzbow doing that thing that he does. Absolutely brilliant stuff.Track listing:
1. Sea
2. Land

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 4, 2020 BOBBY CALLENDER - RAINBOW (1968) A low-key masterpiece of mystical psychedelia and baroque pop from the relatively unsung Bobby Callender. Weightless clouds of sitar, tabla, harpsichord, strings, and more gather and hover like angels over Callender's hazy vocals.Track listing:
1. Rainbow
2. Nature
3. Sade Masoch
4. Purple
5. Mother Superior
6. Autumn
7. A Man

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 2020 BEN MONDER - OCEANA (2005)Related:
Maria Schneider Jazz Orchestra - _Evanescence_ (1992) A wide-ranging album of contemporary jazz/fusion from American guitarist Ben Monder. Solo pieces for acoustic guitar; abstract vocal fragments; woozy, low-key epics; and more. I found Monder through his affiliation with the brilliant Maria Schneider (see above) and was thrilled to discover that he's a gifted composer in his own right. P.S. I found out like five minutes after initially posting this that he also played on motherfucking _Blackstar_, my favorite album of the past 10 years or so.Track listing:
1. Still Motion
2. Light
3. Oceana
4. Echolalia
5. Double Sun
6. Rooms of Light
7. Spectre
_Dinosaur skies_

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 2020 OLIVER LAKE - NTU: POINT FROM WHICH CREATION BEGINS (1976) Fiery, Afrocentric, avant-garde soul-jazz led by saxophonist Oliver Lake. Clattering, insistent rhythms, angular melodies, bits of full-tilt chaos, and an overall heavily spiritual, almost ritualisticimpact.
On an entirely unrelated note: I've been meaning to mention that if you've left a comment anytime in the past like six months or so that hasn't been published, it's because it's regarding a specific request or recommendation, and if I publish it I'll I forget it, so it's just stuck in limbo. Hopefully I'll be able to burn through them all at some point soon if I ever have a life again.Track listing:
1. Africa
2. Tse'lane
3. Electric Freedom Colors4. Eriee
5. Zip
_Life dance of is_

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 2020 KENICHIRO ISODA (磯田健一郎) - クラムボンの瞑想 (1990) Absolutely breathtaking new age from Japanese composer Kenichiro Isoda. I'm still buried way too deep in schoolwork hell to feel anything but mildly anxious at best, but this is at least reminding me that tranquility still exists, and I'll probably get there again atsome point.
Track listing:
1. クラムボンの暝想 (with Stream) 2. 青い幻燈 (with Stream) 3. 水車小屋について (with Stream & Birds) 4. ゴーシュの夜 (with Raindrops)_Good morning_

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 2020 THE BIBLE - WALKING THE GHOST BACK HOME (1986) British indie/pop rock that's somewhere in the same sophisticated new wave realm as Prefab Sprout. Jangly guitars, fretless bass, bittersweet vocals, and a lonely saxophone echoing from around thecorner.
Track listing:
1. Graceland
2. Mahalia
3. Walking the Ghost Back Home 4. Kid Galahad and the Chrome Kinema5. King Chicago
6. Sweetness

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 2020 KÄLTETOD - LEERE (2005) Melodic German depressive black metal. Drawn-out riffs; distorted, mid-range shrieks; narcotized drumming; and some barely-there synths. One of those bands who ultimately don't do anything new with a style, but the feeling is just so goddamn genuine, it doesn't matter. I can't find a quality rip of the original release, so here's the reissue, which replaces the original last track with two "appendixes." I honestly think this version's better.Track listing:
1. Untitled
2. Wiederhall der Leere3. Kältetod
4. Von Vertrauter Vergänglichkeit 5. Appendix: Talwärts 6. Appendix: ...Treibend _Eine wirre flut von erinnerungen_You'd also like:

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 2020 MEMORY GARDEN - TIDES (1996) Way-too-obscure Swedish traditional doom. Mid-paced headbangers with killer guitar work and vocals that would sound right at home on apower metal record.
Track listing:
1. Genesis
2. Dream Horizons
3. The Rhyme of the Elder 4. Trapped at the Pharoes5. Judgement Day
6. The Innocent Sleep7. A New Dawn

FRIDAY, JANUARY 31, 2020 YEAR OF THE RABBIT - YEAR OF THE RABBIT (2003)Related:
Castor - _Castor_ (1995) Year of the Rabbit proved that it's possible to do something great and artistically viable with virtually any style of music, even early-aughts radio rock. It doesn't hurt that, at the end of the day, they're essentially a reboot of the great Failure, but I know a lot of you still aren't gonna be up for it, so thanks to the rest of y'all for coming with me on this journey.Track listing:
1. Rabbit Hole
2. Lie Down
3. Last Defense
4. Strange Eyes
5. Absent Stars
6. Vaporize
7. Let It Go
8. Hunted
9. River

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 29, 2020 FUKPIG - SPEWINGS FROM A SELFISH NATION (2009) Heavy-as-fucking-fuck d-beat with buzzsaw guitars and an impenetrably dense sound that, along with some melodic tendencies, dramatic choral keyboards, and general studio weirdness, suggests industrial blackmetal.
Track listing:
1. The Horror Is Here2. Necropunk
3. Switchblade Romance 4. As the Bombs Fall 5. As Millions Suffer6. Bombs of War
7. Cunt Hive
8. Mother Nature's Fears9. Millions Dying

MONDAY, JANUARY 27, 2020 DANIELLE DAX - INKY BLOATERS (1987) My favorite of Danielle Dax's solo records. Driving, forceful, psychedelic, and all-in-all weird, but relatively accessible art rock by an artist that never quite picked up the same kind of fan base as some of her like-minded peers -- Kate Bush and Siouxsie come to mind. Possibly because she's also the kind of artist who writes songs about American slavery called "Evil-Honky Stomp" that prominently feature the 'N' word. Whoopsy-daisy.Track listing:
1. Flashback
2. Funtime
3. Inky Bloaters
4. Sleep Has No Property5. Bad Miss 'M'
6. Big Hollow Man
7. Brimstone in a Barren Land 8. Where the Flies Are9. Born to Be Bad
10. Fizzing Human-Bomb 11. Yummer-Yummer Man _All you gotta do is pray_ _And furnish his house with silver_ You should also listen to:Lene Lovich -

FRIDAY, JANUARY 24, 2020 TOKYO BLOODWORM - TOKYO BLOODWORM (2007) Beautiful ambient sounds made up of glitchy, downtempo beats, glistening guitars, synths, dialogue samples, and murmuring vocals. Makes me wish the indie kids were still interested in making sad,pretty music.
Track listing:
1. Fluid After Thought2. Tick
3. Hayan
4. Speicherverlust
5. Found Memories of Nature6. Still Passage
7. Essential Construct8. Saturn Shrine
9. Discord Hymn

THURSDAY, JANUARY 16, 2020 NOT BREATHING - TIME MUSIC OF QUAZARS (1995) Dark, heavily layered ambient techno from American musican David Wright. Pulsing beats, droning synths, field recordings, and more map out a vast, assumedly stoned inner landscape. The booklet notes that the album was recorded "at home late at night with the lights out."That checks out.
Track listing:
1. The Amoebic Sea
2. Space Between
3. 3-Legged Beetle Eater4. Dhyana
5. No More Rainbows
6. Combustion
7. Birth of Rotorhead8. Aether Traveler
9. Cloud Modulation
10. Darth Vader Disco Luv_Mindsweeper_
