The uninvitable has happened...some one had to start this topic, so why not me starting out with an album that came in by post today:

William Fowler Collins - Perdition Hill Radio

(i hope this time it's not 90% me posting :p )

Flying Luttenbachers - Incarceration by Abstraction  ....very very harsh, but quite amazing!

Yesterday :

Sonic Youth - The Eternal 2LP (Matador)
Plone - For Beginner Piano LP (Warp)

COLD CAVE - Cremations (Great dark wave!)

VARIOUS - Konkani Songs - Music From Goa - Made In Bombay (had no doubt thi would be superb!)

BURIAL HEX/ZOLA JESUS - Split (still to listen but been loving Zola Jesus recently...sits nicely with Cold Cave)

I'm waiting for the vinyl version of Cremations, but I must confess I have the CD too (thanks Dominick). Such a fucking good album.

This album has everything i long for in pop music. so incredibly good.

Will definitely pick up that Cold Cave. When and where's the vinyl coming out?

Some totally awesome Gamelan thing I forget the name of....

Remember the name then!! We need to know. And buy! :)

yeah, sorry... that wasn't very helpful was it.

Keluarga Karawita Surakarta: Javanese Gamelan Variations, it's called. Amazing.

where the crack did you find that? there's one single reference on Google! imo if something isn't on Emusic, it shouldn't exist. hehe :D

It is on emusic!

I asked Charles Ardisson for a load of gamelan recommendations as he's well into that- he's been building some kind of crazy generative Gamelan software for yonks. There's about another 20 links on my facebook somewhere... I've downloaded about 5 of them so far and they've all been brilliant.

there we are *splurges more credits*  - right, must leave internet alone now and do something!

I got it too! Wahoo.

Once again, leave it to me to get the stuff that everybody knows:

Dirty Projectors - Bitte Orca

Sonic Youth - Murray Street

Low + Dirty Three - In the Fishtank 7

Diamondhead - Corrective Action (cassette)

Don't worry I already bought Bitte Orca!! First day of release. I fucking love it, one of the albums of the year and a truly awesome pressing.

Keluarga Karawita Surakarta: Javanese Gamelan Variations - SAVED FOR LATER!

i actually forgot about emusic....so if we're including digital release ;)

TERRY RILEY - Descending Moonshine Dervishes / Songs for the 10 Voices of the 2 Prophets

RON GEORGE - Bergamo, Johnston, George: The Floating Bubble

CARRIER BAND - Voice Coil

Eliane Radigue - Chry-ptus & L'île re-sonante

I have tried to, but for some reason just can't 'get' Dirty Projectors. Saw them at Maximum Black last year and left feeling I should have liked it a lot more than I did. Same on record really. I am ashamed to say it but it kind of makes me want to listen to Vampire Weekend *hides*
