Screaming Blue Messiahs -- Gun Shy (vinyl)

Screaming%20Blue%20Messiahs,%20The%20-%20Gun%20Shy.jpg

In 1986, I went on my first semi-date with my wife and her sister to see the Messiahs and the opener was The Celibate Rifles. I think I bought this record at the show. The Unitarian minister who spent 60 minutes learning our life histories in advance of marrying us was fascinated by this tidbit and actually recounted the story during the wedding ceremony. Funny moment.

Abakus - That Much Closer to the Sun

Fantastic ambient/dub. A lot like Kuba actually but not quite as free-form impressionistic when it comes to melody. Definitely more concrete melody and not just a bunch of motifs strewn about seemingly with random psychedelic abandon like Kuba (which can be great too). But the feel is similar - especially with the offbeat, driving dubby basslines.

Great find, this disk is rare as balls.

Anna Ternheim -- Leaving on a Mayday

This is a fracken great disc in my book. I've been enjoying the hell out of it since Al posted it a while back. Sort of in the same vein as Bat for Lashes.

^^^ Thanks for that (and Thanks Al). Lovely voice, great stuff!

Kinda reminds me of Emiliana Torrini.

Thanks for the reminder. I played that one a few times when I found it but forgot.

Now playing.
