Janjuggler Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Hi All, The Universe Smiles Upon You by Khruangbin, Review from www.tahoeonstage.com The album truly has a universal feel to it as it is not grounded to any particular time period or style. Guitarist Mark Speer and drummer Donald Johnson played gospel music together in Houston before incorporating bassist Laura Lee into the fold. As a trio, the band continued to search out interestingly good music, and they fell in love with the musings of Thai-funk from the 1960s and 1970s. Thai-funk by the way of Houston gospel is certainly a psychedelic concoction, but you can hear how well the band has blended those two influences together on the serene closer “Zionsville” or “Two Fish and an Elephant,” which breezes by with the calm of the ocean at sunset. But reducing this music as combination of gospel and Thai-funk is a disservice to the elegant creativeness of this band. This music really is its own unique, vivid world and its meditative undertone allows one to really let go and explore where the music can take you. “Mr. White” sets a perfect tone for the album as you’re tethered to the Earth on Johnson and Lee’s hushed but direct rhythm while you float along in the atmosphere to Speer’s warm, buzzed tones. “Little Joe and Mary” is tender and innocent, Speer’s high-whistling flourishes on his guitar playing with Lee’s bubbling bass line. “The Universe Smiles Upon You” has that rare quality of being able to be played in a loop without it growing old. It just spins with the tranquility of Earth in the quiet vastness of outer space as time becomes indefinite and we become connected to the farthest reaches of universe. It is impossible to hang that art neatly in frame in your house, so you gotta go out and experience it for yourself. JJ 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candyflip Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Washing and vacuuming records, while listening to.... Eskimo Joe - Inshalla - good Aussie stuff, and so under-rated. Wifey likes this one. Eskimo Joe - Ghosts of the Past - these are the recent represses. Various Artists - Lost In Translation - RSD Violet vinyl - so happy to finally have this on vinyl Powderfinger - Internationalist - dbl on purple vinyl Alanis Morissette - Jagged Little Pill - Newbury multi-colour vinyl. Great lot of singles. Michael Buble - It's Time - lovely Sunday morn tunes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monk Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 (edited) Okay, I'm gonna cheat and include the two albums I played yesterday as well. Whatevs. Tool - Undertow. Been getting, and listening to I suppose, a lot of Tool cover versions recommendations on Youtube again lately. Acoustic, jazz, that kind of thing. Some of them are pretty cool actually. But felt like I needed the real deal. Sober was the song that got me into Tool back in the day. Just not the day/year it came out ha. Then onto something completely different with the Eels. Not a bad album actually, he's back to going all fuzzy with the guitars. And onto today's listening. Felt like something laid back this morning, albeit still with some energy, and somehow A Perfect Circle got that gig. Cool album really, even if it's not my favourite. Wasn't sure what next, but went with Mamiffer for some more laidback...ness. But with an edge. I really do like her sound. https://mamiffer.bandcamp.com/album/mare-decendrii Then, after hearing a snippet of an R.E.M. song in something, kind of wanted more. So Automatic For The People was spun. Nice. That did sound good on the stereo. And then a bit later, a new Bandcamp purchase With Monkey3 - Sphere. A kind of proggy space rock stoner psych album. Can definitely hear some Pink Floyd in there, particularly the first couple of songs. Well, I can, doesn't mean it's there though I guess. I wouldn't say a huge psych kind of sound, but it's definitely pretty stonerish/fuzzy later on. Not bad. https://monkey-3.bandcamp.com/album/sphere And finishing with, probably, or not, with The Myrrors - Lunar Halo. Another new purchase. This one is definitely a psych/jam album. Yeaaah. https://themyrrors-slr.bandcamp.com/album/lunar-halo Edited April 21, 2019 by Monk 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dilettanteque Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 OST - Until The End Of The World Probably my favourite OST collection. Interesting mix of the U2 "Until The End Of The World" track that downmixes some of the intensity 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me2also Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Hi there. I've been listening to LPs through an old MM setup, due to a loose cantilever in my MC. It sounds really nice anyhow.I just listened to some Prince. I'm currently listening to Damn The Torpeedos. What a fantastic damn LP. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesrc Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 I imagine I am pretty late to this party, but have just discovered then Late Night Tales compilations. Have bought 2. This one as a digital download from Zdigital and the Agnes Obel as a CD. Both fantastic mixes of interesting and at times a bit off the wall stuff. Will be looking for more. Any recommendations? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
