I've had this album since like 91 or so, and can say that it isn't just a passing phase. Lamb is definitely the most mature Genesis album and really doesn't sound like anything else.

Apparently the split in the band came in part about because Gabriel was taking the material and just plastering his songs/words over them. In fact, there might have originally been more material but it just didn't fit into Gabriel's vision (who knows.) It might be nice to hear what the rest of the band was thinking, but it is too great an album to think about what might have been.

That said, mostly messing around with Sun Ra's Heliocentric Worlds volume 1 & 2 lately. Owned them for a long time, but it seemed it was time to revisit them.

I forgot to mention that I found a Nightstick fan page on Myspace. I ask, nay, DEMAND!, that anyone that likes seriously heavy, seriously fucked up psychedelic doom/rock should check it out. Pig in Shit has the solos ever.

Pink Floyd - The Wall

There are other albums out there that I like, but The Wall is my absolute favorite.

Nuke · Post by **Nuke** » Thu Jan 17, 2008 9:59 am

Hehe, The Wall is the album that jump started my Pink Floyd obsession, although I originally fell in love with them when I was but a toddler listening to Wish you were here (Welcome to the machine in particular) on my dad's stereo.

CMoon · Post by **CMoon** » Thu Jan 17, 2008 10:57 am

I just tried going back to the Roger Waters Pink Floyd (Dark side of the moon and later) and while I loved this stuff dearly in HS, I need to say I find it dreadfully boring now.

And as if by magic they have! Just listening to the re-issue now and it's pretty amazing stuff. Much poppier than I remember, more like groovy Sabbath than the more nihilistic modern doom like Atavist, but it's exactly what I want at the moment. Hoorah!

Been hooked on Prince's "Sign o' the Times" lately, thanks to British Airways' in-flight entertainment of all things. I'd forgotten how much I liked it until faced with 10 hours of travelling fun. There aren't many double albums I regularly listen to from start to finish, but it seems to fly past.

CMoon · Post by **CMoon** » Sat Jan 19, 2008 1:36 am

Just recently picked up the Davis/Coltrane 6 disc box

I'm not going to pretend to be a jazz head (my collection is in the 100-200 range, not thousands of albums) and my entry point was the wilder stuff of the 60's/70's. Somewhere over the summer I had a breakthrough however and I found myself listening to more 50's jazz.

That said, this set is bigger than all of us. I'd be lying if I said there weren't parts of it I found boring, but like a fine wine, there are subtle themes and moods that when discerned elevate the music to another plateau. Ultimately, there's a great sophistication here, and as I am slowly penetrating the music, I am finding that while this isn't the sort of thing I'd listen to every day, it is music that has something to teach me, and something more to say that I haven't heard before.

All that translates to 'great' for those who have the patience.

the Carbonas - s/t

Headcoats - Knights of the Baskervilles, featuring 'It ain't mine,' 'This Wond'rous Day,' and the Bo Diddley cover 'She's fine, she's mine'

Actually the whole thing is pretty good

Time for me to whore myself out again...

Two new releases on my label (one a reissue from 1992) that both easily qualify for me as 'favorite albums'.

The Terminals - Touch
Renderizors - Submarine

Links include sample tracks, if you want to know what I'm diggin'.

Rob · Post by **Rob** » Sun Jan 20, 2008 9:24 am

I saw some people talking about those at a music board I lurk at. Thread in reference.

Ghostface Killah - Ironman -- so good
