Excuse me while I wallow in my current irrelevance. I'm not getting anything done. But here, at last, is another top 5. Wordless music again, perhaps symbolic of me failing to have anything worthwhile to say.
Julien Marshal - Insight XVIII
Let's start with where previous list left off, because I'm just growing more and more in love with this album (and its predecessor). So glad simple beauty like this still gets produced.Hannah Peel - Octavia
Listening to a lot of stuff from The Quietus' 2016-list still, that I can't quite get my head around. This album made no sense to me, until this fantastic interlude just clicked.Wu Man - Hangzhou Blues
Heck yeah! Play that... ..that... lute? !
The Comet Is Coming - Star Furnace
Notice a certain propelling chugging motion to the mid-three on this list? It's to make up for the fact that I'm going nowhere. Seriously though, this is punch-the-air-worthy weirdness right here. Undefinable.
Pèteris Vasks - Gramata Cellam: II. Dolcissimo
The benefit of having a top-class cellist as housemate is getting introduced to relatively obscure contemporary classical beauties like this, live in your living room. Heard Miriam rehearse this (with vocals and all) and it absolutely got under my skin. In a good way.
