So, my local used shop has a very clean original US Tower pressing of this at a really good price. I was tempted, but held back since I had no recollection of this record aside from the two Relics tracks. Figured I should download it first.

So far: glad I held on to my money. Seriously, does anybody here like this one? What's the Kool-aid drinkers' take on this?

Wye Oak; If Children -- ButtAss played with these two up in Madison a while back and I've been enjoying this disk ever since. It sounds even better as Autumn approaches.

yeah, this stuff is pretty damn good... she sounds like Kim Deal molesting Azure Ray after giving them lemonade and cookies.

You pulled that description off their myspace page, right?

t.i. paper trail. and it's much more than an improvement on t.i. vs. t.i.p. this past month has been pretty great for rap. and still have big boi, andre 3000, kanye, jay-z albums to come. maybe even the new lupe. and i wouldn't discount a couple last minute surprise records. i'm so fucking pumped.

Sid, I like More alright. The hippy dippy instrumentals are only occasionally amusing, but all of the "actual songs" are awesome. "Cymbaline" and "Green Is The Colour," in particular. Some seriously pastoral "frolicking through the meadows" late '60s Floyd acoustic beauty.

Probably will never pay any sum of money for a hard copy, though, LOL.

Me, neither - probably. I might go for the used Ummagumma instead next time I shop there. They had a late '70s US Harvest that looked nice. That live disk is toasty, I recall.

I wanna believe in post-Syd Floyd.

NP: what I bought instead:


Seriously maligned in its day, wasn't it? I think it deserves a reevaluation.

Every morning and every day I'll bossa nova with ya.

[Sid Hartha]

Yep.

This one, too:



The new Pixies reissues not only sound great, but they're cheap. That's so punk.

Of course. Ummagumma, Live At Pompeii, some of Atom Heart Mother, Meddle, and Obscured By Clouds all contain great music. Even More is an essential piece of the puzzle. Awesome period for them, back when the live shows were all about "Echoes," "Set The Controls For The Heart of the Sun," "Careful With That Axe, Eugene," etc. That stuff is essential art-rock. Maybe may favorite period of Floyd, honestly. The Barrett years are great, but there's only one album and some great singles. The late '60s/early '70s stuff is just super focused while still being fairly out there.

I would say that '69-'72 is the period that truly defined them. After that, they channeled those ideas into much more accessible works, which are fine and all, but this band was moody, dark, heavy, and relied on improvisation. Nothing expresses that better than "One of These Days," "Echoes," and the other major concert staples from that era.

always been my favorite of theirs... so where is the best place to buy these Pixies re-issues?

[Sid Hartha]

Reckless has them.

Blueberry Boat is currently being played in winamp. I'm about to change it to Hissing Fauna, as I haven't listened to it in awhile and it rules.

[Nick]

For about a month now, if I don't listen to one of these albums during the day I feel like less of a human being.
