That's a good collection of music you've listened to there...

I have to admit I haven't been listening to much lately (mostly because it's been so hot...) but I have been playing this album by a German band called Obskuria called Burning Sea of Green which I dunno if Cope's really picked up on yet... But he probably should 'cos this is great futuristic heavy psychedelia. It's my next review on musiquemachine.com...

And something else I'm gonna have to review pretty soon I just heard now -- a Japanese "post-rock" group called Minamo has a CD called Durée. And it's, well, pretty minimalistic musically. I was gonna give this a bad review but it actually stands up well with repeated listening. It's not too showy and it's rather unassuming at first, but for ambient music it's not too shabby. Not saying it's the greatest I've heard, but...

Silvery - Railway Architecture

The Coral - Magic & Medicine (Andfurthermoreagain's recent Unsung review has had me playing a lot of Coral this week. This is the album of theirs I find most satisfying)
The Coral - Nightfreak & The Sons Of Becker (this one is the most fun, proving the virtues of spontaneity and definitely worth its inclusion in Unsung)
The Coral - The Invisible Invasion (I always remembered this to be a bit of a disappointment after the first 3, but it has much of the same spookiness and invention. Excellent appropriation of a Tago Mago drum pattern on the opening song)
The Coral - Roots & Echoes (sadly this is as bland as I remembered. Opening song is good but is a bit too Ocean Colour Scene for comfort. Only the closing song has any real resonance. Just got Butterfly House, so will be hoping to have the mooted return to form confirmed this week)

The Beach Boys - Today (the first really rainy week of what has been a surprisingly hot summer seemed a good time to gorge myself on Brian's journey into melancholy)
The Beach Boys - Summer Days (& Summer Nights!) (still can't get over the majesty of the instrumental breaks on 'Salt Lake City' and 'Help Me Rhonda': spine-tingling walls of sound)
The Beach Boys - Party (this broke the spell somewhat, but has some decent moments amongst the faked revelry)
The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds (no need for an Unsung review for this album)

The Beta Band - The Beta Band (the album the band themselves described as 'fucking awful' before it was even released, I much prefer it to their more streamlined later albums)

The Monkees - Head (how this cut'n'paste masterpiece didn't give the prefab four instant credibility is beyond me)

Yes - Close To The Edge

The Bees - Free The Bees (couldn't really get the fuss around their debut album, but this one is packed full of instant classics. Funnily enough I didn't think they could top it so didn't bother buying the follow up)

The Move - Looking On (my favourite Move album)

A correction regarding the Bang 2 on 1 I listed. It IS 2 on 1 but the albums are the self titled "Bang" album and the other is "Mother/Bow to the King." This Mother/Bow album was a sort of concept album with a Mother side and a Bow to the King side.

Van Morrison : No Guru , No Method , No Teacher



I had both of those on this week, as well.

No Guru... is one of the great unsung albums by VM, ever.
Tir Na Nog makes me want to soar off a mountaintop ;-)

Also in the Paeony Playpen were,

Kiss: First Album (that one's for you, Mooncat. I'm gonna see them at the end of this month)

Noel Gallagher: Teenage Cancer Trust (The Dreams We Have As Children)
I've played this on my iPod ad infinitum for the past two weeks. I know he gets alot of stick round these parts, but these are some beautifully crafted pop songs, and sound even better semi-acoustic. I like his voice better than his goofy brother.

The Damned: Machine Gun Etiquette

Peter and the Test Tube Babies: Mating Sounds of South American Frogs.

Harmonia: Musik Von Harmonia

Swing low, sweet heads...

Minamo definitely have their moments for sure. I was playing their 'Shining' album the other day, 'Crumbling' is an amazing track. The 'Beautiful' album stands up pretty well too, but it's not as good as 'Shining' IMO. It isn't the kind of ambient I'm much into either, it is a bit tame, but there is definitely something going on it to grab you. I've not heard 'Duree' but I'll give it a go soon,
