Right, we haven't had one of these for a while.
1) Kirstie, did you enjoy all the cds that got recommended last time?
2) Any recommendations - I am enjoying: Mirrored by Battles and End Note by Enablers at the moment:
Battles - math rock weirdness, a wonder to see live - change time signatures every few bars, have a vocalist who is made unrecognisable by more effects that you can shake a stick at, but still make absolutely incredible tunes.
Enablers - San Francisco 'power trio' with a beat poet as a vocalist. The music crescendos around the poetry and builds up incredible songs which are deeply visceral.
I also like this website: Free albums galore!. This is one of a massively expanding series of blogs that offers open licence music (download for free), or deleted music: in certain cases the artists do sell the cds too, so do buy one and support their work. But still free albums, which is beautiful. A good one, near the top on the site is a jazz album by Tom La Meche, a French guitarist, who offers up Pat Metheny style music but far more accessible to the casual listener. Good stuff.
Let's get a resource library going.
