Aquarelle - Leave Corners



Mediocre compared to other ambient titles in my library. This one is headed to Musique Plastique next month for a few bucks; got it for free when I purchased an Outer Sounds selection from the label's Bandcamp page for a bit cheaper.

Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin IV



It's a welcome sight revisiting oldies enjoyed by high school me every once in a while. Irrefutable classic rock milestone, for certain.

Jamila Woods - Legacy! Legacy!



I left this out of my top10 from '19, and that was a mistake. But that also speaks to how good that year was for music, and also the year that this forum was created! I wouldn't have found this album without this place.

I have loved this album for over a decade but I only ever had the CD version and have never heard the shorter LP version. How do you prefer it?

I'm a tad more partial to the CD/digital version due to it being similarly more familiar, but they're both great in my mind. I was actually just listening to this in the big work truck the other day!

The CD was all I had for years as well. It's been such a long time since I've listened to the longer version that I can't offer an honest opinion. I will say the vinyl sounds fantastic. I'm gonna have to stream it now for a different experience.

#29 Hooverphonic - A New Stereophonic Sound Spectacular

 

[Fleetwood-Matt]

#9
(All Killer No Filler #1)



Amy Winehouse - Back to Black

Inspired by @CAPacelli ’s post, going spend the weekend with the albums mentioned there!

First spin and this definitely fits the criteria, I always forget how impeccable this album truly is

(All Killer No Filler #2)



While I adore the first half of this album, the second half doesn’t do much for me. “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” is an all time favorite song for me though and the album is worth going back to for that song alone

Feist - Let it Die



One of the albums I got from the Bespoke Post promotion a few years ago. Deals like that don't exist in relation to VMP anymore though...
