Godspeed You! Black Emperor - G_d's Pee AT STATE'S END!



What a strange package. An LP + 10", but also discs with Side A/Side C and Side B/Side D characteristics. Leave it to GY!BE to make a bizarre physical package. I suppose a 10" does save resources.

Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers - Just Coolin'



Just realized I haven't spun this since the day I brought it home last year.

The Cure - Disintegration



Pleasant sounding 2020 MPO repress. I see why many adore this... listening in full for the first time.

Does it count as buying if I trade in stuff and get stuff with store credit??

Broadcast - The Noise Made by People



This band has been a great recommendation from TLK last year. He was absolutely right about how they are recommended for fans of Stereolab.
I've been listening to the acquisitions from last month + the random stack curated for me in my first four plays so far.

Ornette Coleman - The Shape of Jazz to Come



Free jazz standard. This 2xLP 45RPM reissue sounds immaculate.

Babe Ruth - First Base

Alvin Curran - Canti E Vedute Del Giardino Magnetico



A truly unique avant-garde escape very in line with the genre. Glass chimes, flugelhorn, synthesizers, and amplified cymbals are all interspersed together here to put forth an esoteric wonder of sound display. If you have curiosity, check it (certainly not for everyone):

Harmonia - Musik Von Harmonia



Krautrock supergroup composed of Rother, Roedelius, and Moebius. Happy to have this one in my collection, but will it be a permanent mainstay in my curated 500? We shall see in time...

Raul Lovisoni / Francesco Messina - Prati bagnati del monte Analogo



Absolutely breathtaking release that treads the line between minimal and avant-garde. The first track (sidelong) is a 23-minute utopia of spacious beauty. If you liked the Floating Points x Pharaoh Sanders collaboration album from this year, I can vouch for this being a stellar recommendation.
