Carl Stone’s “Mom’s” is a record that makes me want to claw my eyes out in a good way. My brain feels itchy after it just because it’s a sorta experimental electroacoustic deal. Pretty indescribable to be honest, each track is distinct but I’ll drop in Shing Kee. Don’t be afraid to cut through it to get to the gist of what’s being done here, it’s 15 minutes but you’ll absolutely understand why my brain wants someone to go in and stimulate it directly with a f***ing taser. Impressive in that respect and I really do think it’s great, just sort of also a method of torture. The fact it’s from ‘86 is wild too.
@nessisonett Listened to some of it, cutting through it to get the gist, as you recommended. I liked it and It reminded me somewhat of Eno's ambient works. Are you familiar with them/do you like those too?

@BlAcK_SwOrDsMaN Yeah, Eno’s a legend for a reason. I think I actually prefer his traditional music to his ambient stuff though, Roxy Music are great and his solo albums are just as good. Plus I do love the collab albums with John Cale and David Byrne.

@Yousef- With regard to putting Killer Mike in the top 5, as I just said over in The Chit Chat Thread, this is the album that sold it for me.

@Yousef- I created this Playlist on Spotify, it's Nas' King's Disease/Magic Albums in chronological order, I believe, I believe these six albums represent the pinnacle of his career, thought you might be interested.

@Yousef- Did you check out the Playlist? If so, what did you think?

@Jimmer-jammer What music have you been listening to, recently, my friend? I have been listening to a lot of the jazz guitarist, Julian Lage, the world's leading jazz guitarist right now. This album with him, another guitarist (from an avant-garde metal band) and the bassist from Faith No More and a drummer, written by a free jazz composer is about as close to metal as you're gonna get from jazz, really intense, hope you can find a couple of spare moments to listen and let me know your thoughts!

@Jimmer-jammer Thanks, man! I'd appreciate it if you let me know what you think!

Lacuna Coil - Swamped
Amazing rock track from the Italian heavy metal band. The lead singer has one of the most amazing singing voices ever. https://youtu.be/nOuxOUYycoU
Magic Dirt - Plastic Loveless Letter
Great 90s Aussie rock band with one of their most iconic tracks. https://youtu.be/KQMK5izEtHI
Fabulous free jazz/avant rock music with some incredible guitar playing. Guitarist's work in this band seems to be a spiritual successor to Mingus' legacy.
