Welcome to the Space World: February 2011
http://welcometothespaceworld.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, 24 February 2011. I Am a Lake of Burning Orchids - Summer in My Veins [2011]. Artist: I Am a Lake of Burning Orchids. Album: Summer in My Veins. I Am a Lake of Burning Orchids' debut release, Summer in My Veins. Shows the artist taking an interesting musical route, residing somewhere between the cathartic harsh noise at its most soul-crushing, dream pop at its most fuzzed out and experimental music in its most tightly structured form. I found out about this through the Y ū. While the longest of...

Welcome to the Space World: Tuva, Among the Spirits: Sound, Music, and Nature in Sahka and Tuva [1999]
http://welcometothespaceworld.blogspot.com/2011/08/tuva-among-spirits-sound-music-and.html
Monday, 29 August 2011. Tuva, Among the Spirits: Sound, Music, and Nature in Sahka and Tuva [1999]. Album: Tuva, Among the Spirits: Sound, Music, and Nature in Sahka and Tuva. Label: Smithsonian Folkways Recordings. The resultant sound is unlike anything else, and in many ways like an imitation of the harmonics of the wind. I personally prefer this compilation to the one I previously posted, Tuva: Voices from the Center of Asia. 1) A Reverberant Valley. 4) Fantasy on the Igil - Kaigal-ool Khovalyg. 10) A...

For me, one of the most eagerly awaited releases of the year, Regret, Love, Guilt, Dreams. Regret, Love, Guilt, Dreams. The final track of Regret, Love, Guilt, Dreams. 1) All My Friends. 16 January 2012 at 02:55. This comment has been removed by a blog administrator. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Welcome to the Space World: October 2011
http://welcometothespaceworld.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 18 October 2011. Os Mutantes - Os Mutantes [1968]. As of late, I've been listening to a lot of MPB, Bossa Nova and Tropicália, and when I think of Brazilian music, Os Mutantes are usually the first band that come to mind. The group's first, self-titled record Os Mutantes. And while this is obviously a simplification of what is a beautifully varied, joyous and at times naïve record, the whole 60's sunshine vibe is omnipresent alongside buzz-saw guitar work. 1967), The Beatles' Revolver. As propon...

Welcome to the Space World: Curren$y - Pilot Talk [2010]
http://welcometothespaceworld.blogspot.com/2011/11/curreny-pilot-talk-2010.html
Saturday, 19 November 2011. Curren$y - Pilot Talk [2010]. And deny that they form one of the strongest openings to any album, then you are on a very different page to me musically. I suppose the first point to talk about with any hip-hop record is the lyrical prowess of the MC behind the project and Curren$y consistently delivers pure quality on Pilot Talk. And ideally his other mixtapes) as soon as possible to unravel the complexity of the Jet lingo. During his already long career, Curren$y has been inv...

Welcome to the Space World: April 2011
http://welcometothespaceworld.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, 2 April 2011. 水晶の舟 - 祈り / ちびへ [2008]. Artist: Suishou No Fune. Album: Prayer for Chibi. Probably Suishou No Fune's definitive work, Prayer for Chibi. Like all great psychedelic rock records, Prayer for Chibi. Psychedelic music's tendency to delve into the ethnic music of other countries to create a sound. Steeped in ancestry and history, almost like fake ethnomusicology. Continues to astound me with its heart and soul. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). 水晶の舟 - 祈り / ちびへ [2008].

Welcome to the Space World: March 2011
http://welcometothespaceworld.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, 26 March 2011. Mark Fry - Dreaming With Alice [1972]. Album: Dreaming With Alice. Mark Fry is an English folk musician who has only released two albums in his time: this, his debut in 1972, and his second, entitled Shooting the Moon. In 2008. A 36 year gap separates the two, and this is noticeable in both albums' respective sounds, his second record being a huge departure from the first. Highly recommended for English folk aficionados and fans of the lighter side of psychedelic rock music.

Welcome to the Space World: July 2011
http://welcometothespaceworld.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, 28 July 2011. Marlena Shaw - The Spice of Life [1969]. Album: The Spice of Life. Whenever summer comes around, I inevitably go to listen to big summer albums, and that usually means Motown, hip-hop, soul, funk, etc. Marlena Shaw is a soul singer, perhaps most famous for her version of the song "California Soul", which itself features on this record. The Spice of Life. It's pretty much impossible to discuss The Spice of Life. 1) Woman of the Ghetto. 3) Where Can I Go? 8) Go Away Little Boy.
