May 30 - The Sky Is A Sea Of Darkness When There Is No Sun To Light The Way

This is obviously a post-rock title, so had to go with one of the post-rock royalty albums.

I saw these guys open for The Flaming Lips at Red Rocks many years back and Wayne was freaking out on the side of the stage watching them during their set. He came on and said he was blown away by their performance. Just a couple dudes standing on a rug in the middle of a huge stage pushing up against the heavens with their crushing tunes. The Lips were fun as always, but it was one of those shows where the opener completely blows the headliner away, and Wayne knew it because they blew him away too. A top concert memory.
 
May 27 - Enlightenment

The Appleseed Cast - Peregrine

Don't have this one on vinyl yet, though my pre-order of a very delayed repress is from April of last year... hopefully soon. Playing this for the track "Sunlit Ascending," which sounds very "enlightening"....
