Stephen Barton - Music From Apex Legends (2021)

At long last, my two worlds collide.

In late 2018, I went through the worst depression of my life, for various reasons. It didn't stop until March 2019, when Apex Legends released. Up until then, I was not a "gamer". I didn't play any major titles, or really anything aside from Guitar Hero and Lego Star Wars. Apex Legends changed that.

This game made me want to grow as a gamer, both in terms of what games I played, and my skills at said games. This game's characters inspired me to be myself, and to love myself. This game's setting and mechanics spoke to the sci-fi loving child in me. And, yes, this game's riveting score hyped me up before every match and inspired me to get better. Not to mention the friends I've made along the way in this game.

Now, the same songs I've been hearing for over 2 years, before and during and after each match with my friends, are on vinyl. Very impressive sound quality on this too. Black/red swirl, limited to 500 copies, pressed by Enjoy The Ride.

Happy birthday Robert Fripp.

If you have the very valid impression that Robert is a starched shirt, you're probably not familiar with the "Toyah & Robert's Sunday Lockdown Lunch" series. They're a hoot. Examples...








King Crimson - Red

I really don't know why, but I've never listened to this album until now. I really liked Mellon Collie And The Infinite Sadness, but I don't know why I never got this one when it came out.

One day I’ll have this.

Me too. Ordered the pretty one last Halloween and it was estimated to ship Feb 21st. Still no sign of it even being pressed.

I've talked to them a couple times. The whole American shipment went awol.

[cross-post from the No-Buy Challenge thread]

Figured I'd celebrate not buying the new Sons of Kemet album this weekend by playing all the Sons of Kemet stuff I already have, starting with this solo release from Theon Cross.

Henri Guédon – Cosmozouk Percussion (Superfly Records, 2012 Limited Pressing)

I haven't played this album in ages and it's such a shame as its fantastic. Afro-Cuban jazz with some tracks having french vocals. Guédon also painted the artwork for the cover. Fantastic.
