Stuff I've been listening to lately:


Can - Future Days
I love this so much. The slow building percussion of of the first track is mesmerizing and it hardly lets up from there. The 20 minute closer, Bel Air, is some kind of pot smoking sci-fi jam, and it's beautiful.

The Sugarcubes - Here Today, Tomorrow Next Week
Wasn't sure about this but decided to take a chance, and I'm glad I did. The first 30 seconds of Tidal Wave were enough to render the recieved wisdom on this album dead wrong. A spazzy and misunderstood classic, but obviously an acquired taste.

Kraftwerk - Autobahn
Very good, if not the revelation it's promised to be. But then how could an album from 1974 be a revelation? I suppose it's supposed to conjur up images of driving, but I just feel as if I'm in an Atari video game, and that's better anyway.

Boredoms - Rebore Vol. 0
A remix of tracks from Vision Creation Newsun that often manages to be the equal of that album. Whatever vestiges of rock/pop structures that remained in VCN (and there were very few) are now completely gone.
