Late to the Alcest train.  Really like Blackgaze, thus my love of Deafheaven.  But these guys do a lot more melodic stuff.  The Apple Music Alcest Essentials playlist is a nice 22 song, 2 hr 42 min way to enjoy music across their catalog.

I love Alcest.  Enjoy.

Check out Holy Fawn when you get a chance.  Their latest album, Dimensional Bleed, is pure, unadulterated bliss.

this - from another thread - thx Ric. 

 

Nice.  I love that album.  If you like that sort of thing, also check out Alleycat by Nucleus.

And if you want a rabbit hole to go down, check out T-Square and Casiopea.

^^ very cool - I thought it might be outrageously priced. But it is not that bad out in the market, thanks DG for not making it too exclusive. I am not familiar that recording. But thanks to discogs and a little research there is a version of this on TIDAL that I can at least check out (not saying it will be anything like 180g release) the performance. 

And it starts me thinking of various DG recordings that I would like original source versions (hello Karajan).

Cheese and rice, didn't I tell you about them back mid-COVID?  That's the shoe on the other foot, me telling you about music you haven't heard about already.

They were on a track grime Kælan Mikla from their latest that I loved, and I grabbed Spiritual Instinct. I remember liking it but never really circled back. I listened to Hvítir Sandra again and it made me dig deep.  Needless to say, it grabbed me this time.

I’ll check that out. I do have Realms, which I like a lot, and Death Spells, which hadn’t clicked the same way.  But I’ll remedy that ASAP.

Oh, okay, at least you're already familiar with them.  They got more gazey, but while retaining the metal.

Catching up a bit on the notables. I have of course been listening to music, but just not posting. So a few things I liked.

All Your Life: A Tribute to the Beatles

All Your Life: A Tribute to the Beatles
Al Di Meola
2013

https://album.link/i/1564096794

Example:

So to answer the question, do we need another Beatles tribute album? AbsaFuckingLootly. 

When it is our Friend Al. It is more like you are just sitting down with him and he is just jamming and picking on some Beatles tunes. Which I guess he is. Very enjoyable. And not too many demands on the royal ear.

 

The Dharma Wheel

The Dharma Wheel
Howlin Rain
2021

https://album.link/i/1574474906

Example:

Need some 70's rock in a modern package? Have I got a deal for you. New to me, and I want to explore. Pretty straight forward, other than some monster works that rock hard. 

 

LIVE

LIVE
Chick Corea Akoustic Band
2019

https://album.link/i/1548821481

Example:

Not much to say - it is just so good. Just a killer set. 

 

Hodges: Front and Center, Vol. 1

Hodges: Front and Center, Vol. 1
Owen Broder
2022

https://album.link/i/1689273550

Example:

New to me - but put together a really nice set. Ears and eyes open for me.

 

Reckless

Reckless
Morgan Wade
2021

https://album.link/i/1578973602

Example:

I first heard Morgan in December, and I was hooked on her voice. Well her first album backed that up. Strong vocals, and some powerful messages. There are a few more mainstream in there, but it was a rewarding album. 

Okay think that I am caught up. - Back to listening.

Listened to the latest Death Spells yesterday and I liked it.  A lot.  Thanks for letting me know it was out!

The Tourists (1979)

Never available on Compact Disc. Yes, that's Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart.

Patricia Kopatchinskaja is one of my favourite contemporary violinists, I've listened to her live like 3 times in the last years, and always is fun and rewarding (which I can't say of Yuja Wang for instance).

This album is available on most streaming services including qobuz, but Odesli must hate them.
