The Needles & Grooves May 2024 Omniversal Spin Challenge Arkestra

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

Jóhann Jóhannsson - IBM 1401 A User's Manual

This album is, as the title shows, inspired by an IBM user manual. The closing track has the title "The Sun's Gone Dim and the Sky's Turned Black," which definitely vibes with the prompt title.

Day 28 - The Lady With the Golden Stockings



Kate Bush - The Kick Inside

Maybe the stockings that fell in this song were golden

 

[Fleetwood-Matt]

Day 29 - Nuclear War



Tears for Fears - Songs From the Big Chair

Surprised no one did this one. One of my all time favorite songs is about Nuclear War

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



Gorillaz - Demon Days

Didn’t own either of the albums that came to mind from this prompt so this is a bit of a stretch

Thanks for the great month @avecigrec ! Really enjoyed the different approach to the challenge thread resulting in a little more variety in my choices than the usual monthly challenge.

Day 31: A Farewell Theme
Jeff Buckley - Grace

Sayonara!

 

[TenderLovingKiller®]

It been a splendid challenge this month @avecigrec . You did one heck of a job putting things together.

@Wicked Dreamer is up next for June. Looking forward to seeing you folks on the other side.

Simon and Garfunkel - Bridge Over Troubled Waters

May 31 - Farewell Theme

David Bowie - Black Star
Seems like a perfect segue from my play yesterday (Paul Bowles - Black Star at the Point of Darkness). Hearing a leak of this album a month before David’s death, it felt very much like the wonderful goodbye gift that it became

May 31 - A Farewell Theme

Café Tacvba - Cuatro Caminos

Album closer "Hola Adiós" will be my farewell theme to this great challenge. I think less than half of my plays were actually vinyl, but music is music! Thanks @avecigrec , I'm going to be grabbing some of these recommendations on Bandcamp soon!

Day 30

Cold Sun - Dark Shadows

The title is apropos, but I also think old Sun Ra would have been down with crazy ass electric autoharp psych.

 

[Wicked Dreamer]

I spent the last week cramming for this medical terminology course I'm taking so I haven't had time to complete this challenge but you did a great job this month @avecigrec !

the June thread will be up later tonight (might be after midnight EST).
