MUSIC: What are you listening to ? ?

[D Halgren]

OMG I hadn't thought of Today is the Day since their first album, and I'm pretty positive I first found out about them through the old Relapse catalogue (late 90s I think?). Very cool band.

Geez, you guys are really getting me into the good stuff! Played the classic "Focus" last night, Cynic is just chockful of incredible musicians.

First two albums ( Supernova and Willpower ) were on AmRep. I think they went to Relapse on the third one. Here's the band that became TITD, Alien in the Land of Our Birth. You may like them as well.

Apparat’s typically-amazing new album, LP5. If you want to hear how one successfully combines electronic and acoustic instruments, where the whole is greater than the parts, look no further:

I've been absolutely blown away by the S Korean folk/electronica/??? artist Mid-Air Thief recently, the production is just bafflingly inventive (check the below from 1m10 to 1m30s as it morphs from Brazilian sounding bossa/folk into a sort of explosion of pyschadelic chip tune-ness) and the songwriting and performances are beautiful:

Chick Corea & Gary Burton together again after a few decades...

There is a TON of great stuff that has been published on YouTube recently on Glenn Gouid. If you were into Gould way back when, it is worth revisiting. Holds up well over time including his interviews and ramblings.

The opening to this is explosive. Try to listen to this work every few years.

Oh yeah, I love Haxan! Bobby is amazing and his production chops are second to none!

Jon Anderson, Ian Anderson (From Jethro Tull), Billy Cobham, Chick Corea, Jean Luc Ponty and many others on this album. It’s just nuts! Prog with jazz players! There’s no link to the track “Come Up” but it’s the perfect mix of jazz and prog.
