What are you listening to?

[Dave_]

Some Norwegian alternative/psychedelic rock with elements of metal,jazz and pop thrown into the mix.

Motorpsycho-Black Hole/Blank Canvas

Ahh Motorpsycho, brilliant stuff.

Presently with Danish folk, orchestral, post rock with choral harmonising vocals sung in Danish and English. Very hard to define, but it is quite mellow and haunting or floaty and very thoughtful. Best of all, they are touring in the UK and I am may get to see my first Scandinavain band, yipee! They are called Efterklang and the album is 'Parades'.

It's Friday night after all.

And now some Danish alternative pop/psychedelic pop/acid-jazz.....Not sure why,but kind of reminds me of Duffy crossed with Finlay Quaye-But in a good way!

From Belgium, some alternative rock/punk/electro/dance in a similar vein to Simian Mobile Disco/LCD Soundsystem.

Soulwax-Nite Versions

 

[Lost Angeles]

Led Zep, Wishbone Ash, Thin Lizzy and Grendel by Marillion all off vinyl.

Power post rockers Jakob, from New Zealand. Hard drumming, deep bass and heavy riffs produce a powerful soaring sound.

More Soulwax,

this album concentrates more on rock than electro/dance sounds of the previous album Nite Versions!

Soulwax-Any Minute Now

Just so as to include Austria, the band is called Gandalf and is primarily the work of this chap...

who is called Heinz Stobl. He describes himself as a 'painter of musical landscapes' and he has benn bringing out numerous albums since 1980. This would appeal to fans of Enya and people who buy relaxation music from craft shops.

Not sure whether this is going to be one of those albums that grows on you,or whether i just plain don't like it!

Either way, it's no Mezzanine......

I think it's a grower, though there are a few weak tracks compared to the other albums. Babel, Girl I Love You and Atlas Air are instant favourites.
