Federico Albanese – Before And Now Seems Infinite
View attachment 162857

I can't even recall how I stumbled upon Albanese's The Blue Hour a few years back but he has fast become one of my favourite neo-classical artists. I'm still working my way into his latest, as it didn't hit quite as deeply or as immediately for me as his previous works so this is a great excuse to give it another spin.

You and @Ghost are killing me. Added to my queue....

Day 3

Makaya McCraven has become one of my
Most favorite artists in the last four years. This was my jumping on point, my love for International Anthem (through Jeff Parker) and the crew here talking it up got me to listen and then I bought it. It’s one of my most listened to records and I’ve become more fond of his work with each subsequent release. His work is jazz that is also archeological (even when it is his original work, like here)… he is taking the edge of music as presented by the hip hop producers and samplers and elevating it. I don’t think there is another artist working today who is as important. What he is doing is unique and will have reverberations for years to come.

Ash - Free All Angels





One could argue that there are moments on this third studio album that surpass 1977.

Day 1: Happy New Year
Raise a wee dram to see in the new year and pick a great album to accompany it.

Galactic - Carnivale Electricos

I'll also be joining the 40 y/o club this year. And even though I don't really drink anymore, I still wake up with hangovers.

Entheogenic - Animism

My wife and 2 of her best friends are also joining the 40 club this year - there's a lot of y'all!

Still 1 more full year of my 30s left.

In stereotypical form, the in-laws are staying over an extra day.

I'll start catching-up tomorrow when I get my man-cave back.

I kind of appreciate living in too small of a place to accommodate our families. Not that they'd ever come visit us, but still... Sometimes family love is best shared through a telephone.

An Autumn For Crippled Children - Only the Ocean Knows



My hangover pick was too mellow. So I'm spicing things up with this excellent third album by a sorely underrated band.

Live long and prosper my friend.

This recommendation of solo piano adaptions of Grateful Dead songs from @Yer Ol' Uncle D would be good for a hangover, and is a excellent start to a short work week too.

Disclosure - Settle

Sometimes the best cure for a hangover is to get the party started again. The 2nd worked better for me as hangover day anyways. I went much harder watching the Packers stomp the Vikings on NY day, then I did NYE. Worked til 10 on nye, took a gummy, and watched some Dolly & Miley with the gf, and passed out quickly after midnight.

Sugarman 3 & Co "Pure Cane Sugar" - third album from a band with the magic number 3 in the name! A nice mix of funky instrumentals and vocal tracks from a Daptone band that flys under the radar...

 

[Wicked Dreamer]

Day 3: Three is the Magic Number

While this is technically her 3rd album, I (and many others) feel like this should truly count as her 1st. This was the album where she found her style, independence and success. The album where she found… control.

Janet Jackson - Control

I love SO many third albums. So, because we just got back from the brewery and then got stoned, I'll go with Pretzel Logic. Zep III was a close second.
