Fleetwood Mac tribute posted earlier today -- this is outstanding. Starts off with the obscure back catalog gem, "Albatross", includes my personal favourite early Fleetwood Mac track, "Oh Well", slowed down. And that's as far as I've gotten.

Beirut: The Rip Tide (Folk-rock, Dream pop, folk-rock)

Godspeed You! Black Emperor: F# A# Infinity (Post-rock, modern art music)

Purity Ring - Shrines (Electronic, Indie, Electro-pop)

Tanlines - Mixed Emotions (Indie pop, Electronic)

Recommend all of them. Might as well give them a listen. If you like the genres they fall under they're really great. If not, well, how can giving them a listen hurt?

F# A# Infinity is one of my favourite post-rock albums of all time. Definitely my favourite by GY!BE.

I definitely agree, it's probably actually my favorite post-rock album. I still enjoy Mogwai and other post-rock bands, but there's just such a special feeling with F# A#. I feel like it transcends the genre, and despite whatever the artists themselves may think, it gets close to the level of classical music when it comes to music as art.

Was listening to Shiina Riingo in the car (or however you pronounce/spell it). Now listening to Ravyn's station, Radio Obscura. She said she did the programming for the site, but that was the other day, I don't think she programmed what I'm currently listening to, I could be wrong, though.

Art Lande | While She Sleeps

Otis Murphey-Fantasy

Going back to some of my classical saxophone roots.

A truly memorable recording of the Chopin Fantasie-Impromptu Op. 66; and a world reknown interpreter of Franz Liszt.

If you haven't heard Georges Cziffra you should check him out - the youngest person ever admitted to the Franz Liszt Academy which he entered at age 9.

His interpretations are primarily in the older Romantic style tending towards the daring, dramatic and emotional.

Stunning technical prowess, and a giant among the greats of 20th Century piano.

Sucks to see that indeed. How is the music?

pretty good otherwise... need to study it a bit more.

That's funny, they were just in Stereophile or Absolute Sound -- are you sure it's that bad? They certainly learned their lessons from Vapour Trails on Snakes & Arrows -- although it was compressed, it wasn't brickwalled, it was just compressed. Which is appropriate for a rock & roll record, IMHO.

Delain - 2012 - We Are The Others

Good album...I especially like the 4 live tracks at the end.

agreed - that was a nice plus

Mazzy Star - So Tonight That I Might See

This is all kinds of wonderful, particularly her covers of "Mother's Talk" and "A Criminal Mind", but I really like everything, including the single for "The Art of War".
