John Scofield - That's What I Say

 

 
Cassie Taylor - 2013 - Out of My Mind

I cannot seem to stop listening to two tracks:

 

Kwoon, "I Lived on the Moon" and

Pulshar, "Nospheratu"

 

The former is pure icelandic shoegaze bliss a la Sigur Ros and New Order's "Elegia", with an epic, soaring climax and a gorgeous animated video

And the latter is a groovy dub techno track worthy of a 40 minute extended remix a la Orb's Blue Room...but it doesn't have one.

Listening to more Kwoon -- they range from borderline metal ("The Guillotine Show") to delicate atmospheric acoustic post-rock.  Dig.

For work, back to dub techno:

 

10CC - Im not in love

whatever knucks is spinning

180 gram vinyl

 

 

i think I'm realizing this is now my favorite music, loved even more than the Ellington Blanton album.

I had disc 2 on repeat all day, now enjoying the more regimented first disc.

 

I get goose bumps, swept away, transfixed the entire time.  eyes closed.

 

Besides the obvious musicianship, composition, there's just something about sparse albums that gets to me.

Just a piano, amazing.

Juno Reactor, The Golden Sun of the Great East -- you know, it's really sad -- "Juno Reactor" is such a great name, and yet I know that like me, mentally, a lot of people lump him in with all the other instrumental electro artists, but he really is one of the best.  And I would have no idea how to "rebrand" him so that he stood out more.  He's so much more melodic and lyrical than 99% of all the other stuff, which to me is what it's all about.
