Today I am Listening To...

[Clandy]

Listening to Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Red Right Hand.

Roger Waters trading as Pink Floyd - The Final Cut

I remain unconvinced of any Floyd album after "The Wall", and that was patchy.

There were only two albums after The Wall: Momentary Lapse Of Reason and The Division Bell both of which were very good (The Final Cut although containing some superb tracks, is really just leftovers from The Wall). What a lot of people (and Waters himself) fail to understand is that Waters was not Pink Floyd.

Well...I like Atom Heart Mother, and no-one else seems to

Sister Rosetta Tharpe - Hallelujah!

I only like Summer '68, Fat Old Sun, and If, from Atom Heart Mother. But then there are people who think Ummagumma is great, whereas I think it is a pile of self-indulgent crap. (and I'm a lifelong Floyd fan)

[Wowbagger]

Elias, in German, by Mr. Mendelssohn-Bartholdy.

[pcolbeck]

Thelonious Monk mainly with a bit of Sarah Vaughen thrown in.

I always enjoyed "Several species of small furry animals gathered together in a cave and grooving with a Pict", but I suspect that enjoyment lent much to chemical assistance  .

Nope, I do as well, old hippie that I am.  In fact I like all Floyd except The Wall and The Final Cut, as these mainly consisted of Roger Waters being angsty and gittish.

No surprise that Roger Waters' solo albums (Radio K.A.O.S, Amused to Death, The Pros and Cons of Hitchiking) all have Echoes [sic] of The Final Cut, and to a lesser degree - The Wall, in them.

That said, being somewhat prone to angst and gittishness myself, I quite like his angsty and gittish stylee.

Dark Side Of The Moog 8 - Namlook & Schultze

I like this, particularly the long opening track - very spaced/dubby. The full-on drum & bass track towards the end took me a bit by surprise though 

Live @ Awakenings - Wolfram Spyra.

Not sure about this one - getting too close to prog noodling/Vangelis for my liking

The final track of DSoM8 does catch you by surprise Apparently it was the 'encore' track rather than being part of the main set - definitely not the sort of stuff Herr Schulze is best known for

As for the Spyra set, I guess you really had to be there - despite there not being many people there (40 tops, which was quite disappointing) there was a really good vibe which matched the music perfectly.

As for me, I'm listening to the soundboard recordings from the 2009 Hampshire Jam - absolutely sequencer-tastic (and it helps that I was actually there too)

Ah, forgot it was live. Makes more sense as part of an encore.

American Indie folk rock   is probably the best description.
