I listened to three albums today. Brian Eno - Film Music 1976-2020 ,MGMT - MGMT & La Roux - Supervision, MGMT was the best of the lot @ShaiHulud is it mostly rock and metal you listen to or do you enjoy other genres as well? I'm not really a big metalhead any more. I think you mentioned enjoying jazz such as Sco elsewhere on this forum?
@nessisonett In the mood for some heavy rock meets classical music? If so try J G Thirlwell and Simon Steensland's Oscillospira record and let me know what you think. @ShaiHulud you might enjoy this too, it's quite soundtrack-y but gets quite Meshuggah-y in places. The album features what are really very concise and organic, simple structures, but the melodies they utilise are often laden with just the right kind of sinister tropes and overtones so that heaviness wins out over all, very much a djent-iccal record. (If I just coined that term, I deserve full credit - it goes down here for posterity.)
Edit: @ShaiHulud You may also enjoy Divide And Dissolve.
@nessisonett I know about Ariel Pink, but what's the deal with John Maus? Are his views mostly nonsense in addition to Pink's? What have you been listening to over the weekend?
@colonelkilgore I know you don't really like music, and I am fast losing interest in it, but this guy still captivates me, as a fellow former musician and now non-musician I thought you might enjoy the work of a man who is a self-described "non-musician". He has worked in production, film and composed pieces of music for art installations, of which this is one, let me know what your thoughts are!
Very interesting stuff... playing it as I was doing a few bits and bobs around the house was like having an internal original-score to my life playing in my head... rather than the internal narrator that my neurosis usually provides 😉
@colonelkilgore Excellent, do you think you will try more of his work? (Eno says his ambient records are designed to be background music, so you listened to it in the ideal way, anything from his ambient works should be up your street if you liked that).
@Jimmer-jammer I'm very into obscure music and often listen to Late Junction on BBC Radio 3, ever heard that? It's where most of the obscure records in my collection are derived from.

@Draco_V_Ecliptic I probably will try a bit more actually... it has triggered a bit of curiosity. I figure that I'll pretty much always be a podcast guy when I'm doing something but it doesnt hurt to mix it up every now and then 👍
@Thrillho Thanks, checking it out on BBC Sounds now. First track is pleasant but none of it compares to the mighty Brian Eno, I can tell that even fairly early on in the podcast.
@Draco_V_Ecliptic They’re nice playlists to work to and they’re curated by different people so have different vibes. I’ve listened to some of the classical ones for similar reasons as I quite like modern classical music to work to as well.
This is from an album I picked up recently from one playlist;
@Jimmer-jammer I'll be sure to check out CKUA, I love classical music and admire the philosophy of the DJs being able to play whatever they would like to. I hope you enjoy Late Junction, you can stream it online, you just need to sign up for a free BBC account, give it a try and let me know what you think of whichever episode you decide to listen to.
