Plux Quba
Tim Story -
Threads
Sarah Davachi -
All My Circles Run
Hans-Joachim Roedelius -
Tape Archive Essence 1973-1978
Fantastic selections from Outer Sounds, as always.
Plux Quba is probably their biggest get yet; I was able to find a copy elsewhere for $19.99; what a steal for a landmark avant-garde piece!
Thank you
@dropsonde so much for recommending Sarah Davachi. I found
All My Circles Run to be enticing and bewitching. This electroacoustic style is fairly new to me and I hope to dive deeper with similar artists. It will be paired eventually with a copy of
Pale Bloom whenever Superior Viaduct get their shit together with a shipping notice.
This album by Roedelius reminds me a lot of the ambient side of Brian Eno's work, especially the earlier days. I thought my initial listen was quite comforting and joyful.

Quiet Music 3
Got these all by redeeming my Musique Plastique gift certificate purchased back in mid-April last year. Picked these up in person at the owner's (formerly co-owner) house and had a nice ~25 min conversation with him. He seems to be ambitious in getting a new brick & mortar boutique shop sometime late this year, and I am absolutely happy for him
Unfortunately, my copy of
Quiet Music 2 is warped significantly. However, an amusing story in that I shared these pickups on IG and tagged Musique Plastique in it. The label, Telephone Explosion Records (who follow MP), reacted to my story and dared me to play them all in succession
. I commented back in saying that I was planning to, but with the second entry being warped, I had to skip it. They claimed that they wouldn't be able to replace it initially but ~3 hours later commented later by replying "Actually, fuck it. I'll send u a replacement" then asking for my address. Soo...I've got that going for me! That's how you get me to be a fan of your label.
Current Year pickup:
Xiu Xiu - OH NO
Not a fan of this one. Sitting in the "to sell" crate awaiting offloading.
Miscellaneous pickups:
Kids See Ghosts -
KIDS SEE GHOSTS [Target exclusive]
Lianne La Havas -
Lianne La Havas [indie exclusive]
Kelly Lee Owens -
Oleic (EP)
Lingua Ignota -
All Bitches Die [Hello Merch limited repress]
Wrekmeister Harmonies -
The Alone Rush
Got a few color editions coming in to replace standard black LPs (KSG, Lianne, Lingua Ignota). I have offloaded the previous standard KSG, gave the standard Lianne as part of a gift to a friend, and still have the standard
All Bitches Die still sitting in my "to sell" crate, but with the sleeve swapped out as mine is signed + personalized by Kristin in person.
Deeply in love with Kelly Lee Owens' electronic craft, and saw the EP from
@Bluecloud777 (thank you!!!) in a previous post here and decided to nab one. Sound quality on this is as excellent as you'd expect from a 45RPM cut. Looking forward to whatever she puts out next!
As for Wrekmeister Harmonies, if you are in the mood for brooding and rather obscure post-rock with a dark classical shade, I would give this a shot. I enjoyed it (although some in the JQBX did not LOL).
