Day 17: Jack Planck - "Chom Chom Generator"

I think this chap only released one album, but it has the excellent title "To Hell With You I'll Make My Own People".

This track is his take on the Exotica genre of easy listening!

"170" - Kaizers Orchestra

Genre: Alt Rock

These folks are apparently one of Norway's biggest (non Black Metal) musical exports.

They have an album on the extended 1001 list, so I'll be listening to more of them in the future!

Day 16: Les Tigres Du Futur - "Le Jour de la Colère Astrale"

Fancy a 20 min long garage / space rock epic from France?

Some kind soul on youtube has cut together footage from bonkers 1979 flick "The Visitor" to provide suitably psychedelic accompanying visuals 🪬

"Evolution 169" - Nevermore

I did have something in my library for this number, but that's becoming the exception rather than the rule this far down the number line...

"168" - AU

Genre: New Age Electro

Had to go looking for this number - wasn't familiar with AU, but I am a fan of this kind of turn-of-the-millennium downtempo-plus-world-music-samples shiz! 🕉️

Day 14: Jazz Q Martina Kratochvíla - "Toledo"

Absurdly fun keyboard-driven jazz fusion/prog rock out of Prague.

Tell me you're not hooked after the first 30 seconds!

This week's albums!

A double album of Monks' covers - and I did not think it too many.

Cafe Tacvuba got recommended to me here on bsky not long ago - great & varied stuff!

Don't think I've listened to a full New Model Army album before and really dug it!

I'm luke warm on Marillion.

Greek punk rock yesterday - South African hip-hop today! Heavily on the electro end of things - I dig it!

Day 13: Hamell On Trial - "Choochtown"

He's a punk rock, anti-folk, spoken word musician, and he's a blast!

This song feels like an entire David Mamet neo noir movie compressed into a single song - give it a try!

Day 12: Shana Falana - "Heavenstay"

Gorgeous psych-shoegaze with layered female vocals. Plus the official video is a cat video! 😻

I thought they were fairly well known, but only 12.6k lastfm listeners?

Their album "Set Your Lightning Fire Free" is an all timer!

"Hypnos 164" - Cathedral

Genre: Trad Doom

I did have some Cathedral in my library, but not the EP this track appears on.

I am once again lamenting the fact the standard emoji set does not include the "doom claw" or "wizard hand" gesture.

70 seconds of gloriously furious Welsh punk about not getting messed up on a school night.

Or.... getting messed up on a school night, anyway.

"163 För Evigt" - Cherrie

Nothing in my library for this number, either. I found an experimental cello ambient track by The OO-Ray that would have worked, and is much more my usual groove, but look! Somali-Swedish R&B! 😄

Day 8: The Visit - "Offering"

If you like Dead Can Dance, you'll like this.

The cellist, Raphael Weinroth-Browne, is amazing! He does a lot of collabs with prog-metal band Leprous, and has a generally metal attitude - lots of metal covers on his channel!
