Liz Phair was a big pothead back in those days. "Guyville" sort of sounds like she recorded it herself on a 4-track, though I think it was a real band in a real studio. I've always felt there were a handful of excellent tracks, but it's not one of my favorites of that era.
Unlike the first two Breeders albums, which are timeless classics. How dare you lump Kim Deal in with those other posers!! ;-)

Old stuff:
Santana - Abraxas (head and shoulders above any other studio album they did, so great!)
Blue Oyster Cult - 1st Lp (they took the enigmatic symbology & cryptic song titles pioneered by Led Zep to their ultimate level. Though I strongly suspect all the mystery adds up to nothing -- nothing but killer metal riffs that is!)
Fleetwood Mac - Penguin (got "Mystery To Me" a while back and enjoyed it more than I expected, especially the Bob Welch tunes. But this one's pretty dull. Christine McVie is sooo "adult contemporary", bleah. The band did have a string of pretty interesting songwriting guitarists though: Green, Spencer, Welch & Buckingham.)
Chuck Mangione - Feel So Good (did you know the title track is nearly 10 minutes long on the album? His flugelhorn sounds very much like Miles Davis "in a pretty mode", but the band is so cokespoon smooth -- man does this suck! Got it for free, couldn't resist.)
New stuff:
Black Angels - Phosphene Dream (comes out officially in about a week; in terms of "growth" from previous records, I'd say this one's got a wider variety of 60's styles (one song even sounds like it's got an "electric jug") -- there is still nothing "original" in their sound, but the pallette is getting broader. And a bit "poppier" -- no epic drone-outs on this record, all shortish catchy songs.)
High Wolf - Ascension
Julian Lynch - Mare
Black Tempest - Proxima

Sin Agog wrote: Disco Inferno - The Five EPs (One of the '90s best hidden talents. They initially drew on groups like The Durutti Colum and Dif Juz, but ended up sounding like no one else. The Five Eps has been a pretty popular bootleg for the last few years, but it's just been officially released. Buy it now!)
Great band - anything on this that hasn't been released before?

What's Ascension like, Dave? I've been really enjoying High Wolf's Shangri L.A. CD the last couple of weeks.

But I'm starting to ease my way back out of the silence with the Amadeus Quartet's recordings of Mozart's String Quintets and their critically unsung Beethoven quartet box. Hopefully some harder sounds will follow.
my condolences
