One of my favourite records.
This has become one of my favourites.
Would it be feasible? 🤔
I wrote about Brian Wilson's brief return as the Beach Boys' creative leader in the 1970s for Skug magazine (in German). 🌊

Four years later and I'm still playing this all of the time. Timewave Zero is everything that ambient music should be - mysterious, otherworldly, and relaxing.
Just to try to help illustrate the kind of thing we’re talking about, here are some stock photos we found of two tapes.
The music of Igorrr is so impressive it sounds like a music software demonstration. Can I have some air to breathe please?
These German men with the long hair are skankin' it up!
I wrote about the coming end of my favourite thrash metal band, the sometimes brilliant, sometimes problematic Megadeth (text in German).

"Hallogallo" cover art from Museum of Science and Technology, Vienna - never seen this before.
Love the new KMRU / Fennesz tracck, Blurred - beautiful, super slow build-up, almost like a delicate vision of harsh noise.
I like the more delicate songs, like Sunday Morning. Stuff like Heroin is not for me.
I missed this when it came out six years ago on Sub Pop - the way this track by clipping. morphes into grainy harsh noise delight with a little help from The Rita is a fantastic music-noise crossover moment. 🙏

The No Nukes Concert is some of the most amazing concert footage by anyone, I was crying tears of joy when I first saw it.
Fantastic and inspiring selection by Tracey Thorn, one of my top 5 favourite vocalists in this world.
Heard it many, many times in the past of course but I'm rediscovering Kind of Blue right now, playing it all the time.
Yes, it's very Sabaton. They'd done some leftfield stuff in the 1990s but despite their flaws these albums felt a lot more natural and more interesting to me.
lol
I love the backing track of I Just Called to Say I Love You ☎️

Song with No Words, like David Crosby's entire first solo album If I Could Only Remember My Name, is the ultimate jazzy freak folk hippie music - desert island material.

WowWowWow parts of The Meatles were seriously intense!
Finishing the last stretch home with Chill Noise by @phirnis.bsky.social

The Sun Ra album for people who think they don't like Sun Ra, but also for people who do already like Sun Ra

Sun Ra's There Are Other Worlds (They Have Not Told You Of) remains one of the most mysterious sounding pieces of music by anyone.

Automat's Droid is one of the most forward thinking pieces of music of the entire decade - and a precursor to the glorious sounds of Italo disco.

The music of Yes had a big impact on me and I love the craziness of Rick Wakeman's The Six Wives of Henry VIII, exemplified in Catherine of Aragon.

If you ask me about my favourite heavy rock band from the 1970s, I'll go with the Scorpions, when Uli Jon Roth was the driving force behind songs like the mysterious Sails of Charon.

From Harry Nilsson's wonderful crooner record comes Lazy Moon, a magical tune originally sung by Oliver Hardy (!) - what a way to open an album.

Dom's Edge of Time is a unique and beautiful one-off mixture between folk music and musique concrete - the title track speaks for itself.

Never knowing where inspiration might strike, this post from @phirnis.bsky.social prompted a listen this #CDFriday

Never stopped to wonder why
Then I saw black and my face splashed in the sky”
