Been listening to every Cope solo CD I own in the last few weeks. What a journey of 40 years. My Nation wasn't that bad... Rome wasn't burned in a day and Dark Orgasm seem to have stood the test of time some 20 years later... Self civil war and to a lesser extent England Expectorates still show that Cope has got it in the 2020's. There's a bit of a gap in my collection between those last 2 periods mind you - which I'm not so convinced about. Then of course Fried,WSYM, Peggy Suicide, Jehovahkill and 20 mothers have always appealed.
Elsewhere it has been:
Clannad - Legend
The Comet is Coming - Channel the spirits. 2/3 of this band form Soccer 96 of course who are also great.
Comet on Fire - Avatar. Got there via Ben Chasny who doesn't do much wrong IMO
Clinic - Walking with Thee
Some selections from Spotify:
Ibrahim Maalouf - Illusions
I believe in my Mess - Do unto others
Blonde Redhead - 23, Sit down for dinner and misery is a butterfly. I have decided i don't much care for them. I had to be thorough though!
