Atlas Sound - Let The Blind Lead THose Who Can See But Cannot Feel + Another Bedroom EP (2 LP)

 

Albert Ayler - Holy Ghost (9 CDs!!!)

 

The latter I bought becuase I was stunned to find it in my local record store at the absurdly cheap price of £34 (and becuase it's completely amazing, obviously). The former I picked becuase I needed one more item to fill out my loyalty card for a discount, it's a great cover, and I liked Cryptograms a lot. So overall those 2 cost me a very slim £19 with my discount. Nice!

this is my last album i bought: just have two parts of one composition - guitar trio - played live in several cities the same piece sound always different in the 10 performs of this album (divided in three cd's)
who knows Chatham and love minimalism is a good album.

Oh man, do I love this album. I don't think ANOTHER BEDROOM holds up quite as well, but the album is incredible.

I largely agree about Another Bedroom, but 'It Rained' makes it worth it. One of the best songs on it. I also wish they'd kept the whole of the EP on side 4, instead of having the first track of it close out side 3, because it means you have to race to the turntable to stop it at 'Let The Blind Lead..." if you want experience just the album.

As for the album proper, yeah, it seems excellent. I've yet to listen to it enough to judge whether it ranks higher than Cryptograms, but I feel it may well in the end. It just has a really wonderful vibe to it. I've played it through 3 whole times in less than 24 hours, which is a lot when you consider it's competing with the Ayler set (which, incidentally, is, aesthetically at least, possibly the most beautiful musical item I've owned. The music obviously needs no talking up)

[Hip Priest]

SYR8. Finally.

Okkervil River - The Stand Ins

I'd rank them almost equally. Though they are very different beasts. But they both hit me the same way which was FIRST LISTEN: eh, it's okay.. wht's all the hype for? think I'll listen again. SECOND LISTEN: yeah. it's good. not great. I want to hear it again. THIRD LISTEN: I can't stop listening to this.
