James Ferraro - Live 12/07/09

one 36 minute track, but i've altered it on itunes to start around 7

and a half minutes in . . . frankly, i just didn't get anything out of the

the beginning. you should be able to change this to your liking in itunes,

or whatever, anyway.

that being said, this is a nice piece that sounds like a slowed-down mix between

heaven's gate & marble surf -- less variation, but pleasant/calm sounds

Sun Ra - The Magic City

jazz that perfectly suits its album artwork.

B D - S O

Religious Girls - Open Your Heart To Fantasy

to me this sounds like a solid hybrid between animal collective

and dan deacon. fun and energetic.

Ian Hawgood - Snow Roads

"Ian Hawgood creates music with an effortless flow and intelligent, minimalist programming aesthetic . . ."

etc. etc. that's all that matters. best zome i've heard in a long time.

like a benz hitting the gullet

Bill Callahan - Woke On A Whaleheart

first release under bill callahan. i like this equally as much

as Sometimes I Wish We Were An Eagle, maybe more.

great stuff fer sure, be sure to scoop.

like sycamore ore re e

Of - The Infant Paths

this is a rad album. lots of sweet nature recordings and

other natural sounds from organic-made instruments

play in the woods

Zombi - Surface to Air

i got this around the time it was released in 2006, and every

once in a blue moon i feel a random urge to put it on --

sometimes for a few hours. space rock duo consisting of

synth and drums. sounds like the album art.

glaciers in space

Smog - Rain On Lens

of all the smog albums, this may be my favorite. top 2

at least. i love the music on here, very repetitive and

loop-based in a traditional smog-sound way. this is way amazing.

Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Live VPRO Radio Sessions

godspeed have really nailed what's become one of my favorite sounds in music, so i thought

i should share some tunes you peps may not have. this recording has a unique sound compared

to any other live recording of theirs i've clinched . . . all classic movements as well:

- she dreamt she was a bulldozer

- steve reich

- world police

- moya

godspeed you.

Avey Tare & David Grubbs - Crumbling Land

i wanted to hear this for a long time and i'm glad i finally

have .. 2 david grubbs tracks & 3 avey tare tracks. the david

tracks consist of a ten minute piano zome & a 4 min. ambient/noise

soundscape. the avey tracks are 2 short ones, one soft one heavy,

followed by a 13 min. zomescape.

let yr mind crumble, and forget for a little while

Terrestrial Tones - Blasted

if yr into avey tare & eric copeland sounds, then blasted is for you.

less layered and chaotic than Dead Drunk, but still fun in its

own way. plenty of heavy noisy sounds and some pleasant ones

too.

be blasted

The Drift - Ceiling Sky

i love the drift's sound. more ambient-jazz zomes

for the drifting post-rock fan. great stuff

mediafire

Wolf Eyes - Claustrophobic

there's so much wolf eyes out there, and i have almost none

but this recent scoop surprised me a little -

less noisy more drone and loop

mediafire

Burzum - Filosofem

awesome black metal sound followed by awesome dark ambience

listen to this motherfucker

mediafire

Pocahaunted - Gold Miner's Daughters

the only pocahaunted i have, but these tracks are great, and i love them
