17/9 • Metronome - Take Down (2016)
Really wonderful and wild psychedelic stuff from pop avant-gardist Mikel Rouse. Likely to be a new fav of mine, very Jam-coded.

16/9 • Alan Lomax: Popular Songbook (2003)
A collection of some really good stuff recorded by Alan & John Lomax. It's very accessible and focused on stuff that may be familiar to a listener in 2003 in some other forms, e.g. multiple tracks here had been sampled by Moby.

11/9 • Harry the Nightgown - Ugh (2025)
An indie release with this nice quirky sound to it. Sort of reminds me of KNOWER but with this playful electronic edge. Recommended!

10/9 • Phill Niblock - Touch Food (2003)
Actually the only one I listened to today, and I did have a nap to it. That being said - one of my fav drone albums, I keep comin back to it. Very richly layered and captivating, does a lot of really cool things.

9/9 • Michael Atherton - Ankh: The Sound of Ancient Egypt (1998)
Would be curious if there's any historical rigour behind the choice of instruments of this one. Very meditative, soothing, intriguing. The arghul has this wild sound I love it

8/9 • Isaac Hayes - Chocolate Chip (1975)
Funky, sexy music from a mega confident mid-career Hayes. The title track is so nice they just play it twice. Livened up a dull train journey for me!

7/9 George Lewis - Chicago Slow Dance (1981)
Very cool, ominous, and firmly avant-garde record - I like the loud foghorns on this one. Truth be told it was between this and another album today but the fact that someone uploaded this with an anime background sells it to me

One of my favourite albums this year, and listened to it in da car today. Really great hard-hitting EDM stuff, nostalgic but doing something new and fresh and emotionally interesting with it.

5/9 • Miles Davis - Dark Magus (1977)
Some of the most intense, dark, chaotic stuff I've heard from Davis. It's almost noise rock stuff. Can you imagine hearing this live in 1974? Gosh.

4/9 • Aster Aweke - Hagerae (1983)
I find the way that Aweke's wonderful, rich voice comes up against the lo-fi limitations of this tape from Ethiopia super interesting... really adds to the melancholy of this thing. It's wonderful

3/9 • Kimbra - The Golden Echo (2014)
Overlooked this at the time but there are some wild pop swings on this thing and the more standard stuff is perfectly competent. The sort of pop album that will have a big reappraisal at some point. All the tracks are quite long tho

2/9 • Al Green - Gets Next to You (1971)
Man can you imagine being called "Al" these days. That must really suck. You can't use that at all because people will read it the wrong way. Anyway listened to him while out and about, really love his voice, very smooth.

1/9 • Serenader - Duststep (2025)
A. G. Cook's probably my favourite musician ever, but is purely random chance whether anything he releases is "it's so over" or "we're so back" - some of this microsound-inspired stuff sounds totally new, we're so back.

31/8 • Lee Konitz - Inside Hi-Fi (1956)
Not intending for this to be so jazz-heavy but that's just where the compass rests at the moment. I got these new speakers and I'm not yet used to how bassy they are, makes something like this sound real good and room-filling.

Think this has become my favourite album of theirs over the course of this month. Psychedelic and vibrant, this has a bit more of a focus on pop sensibilities than storytelling.

Full disclosure also the only one I've listened to today but it's a very nice one ... An early ambient work, very soothing with some strong texture work.

28/8 • Neptunian Maximalism - Éons (2020)
The drone metal stuff on this sounds great, but the middle section of this, "To The Moon," is this heavy, apocalyptic jazz work that stands on its own - that's my favourite.

27/8 The Dave Brubeck Quartet - Time Further Out (1961)
"Time Out" was an early favourite of mine, but I'd never heard its direct sequel until today. It's not as immediately striking but is more playful. "Unsquare Dance" is in adverts and that.
