Whats the last record you bought?

Local thrift store sold me these for $5. Said nobody was interested in them. Not an awful score.

Picked up a nice copy of Power, Corruption and Lies last week which I then proceeded to leave on the train home, never to be seen again.

However, I do feel I’ve increased the happiness in the universe by gifting that to someone😚

This came a week or so ago but I was away and Mrs J_C had a major tidy and put it somewhere and couldn’t remember where, so I only just got to play it!

100% silk is starting to turn into one of my favorite labels. this one was just too good.

https://www.discogs.com/release/26568134-Akasha-System-Phytopia

why not, if you’re ordering one akasha system record from bandcamp, might as well order two. apparently this guy used to live in portland but moved to florida. portland’s not for everyone!

https://www.discogs.com/release/13593446-Bartosz-Kruczyński-Baltic-Beat-II

a long time want, the first baltic beat was so good. found one at a good price and bit. so evocative of a time and place, one i can listen to repeatedly and find new things every time.

https://www.discogs.com/release/33127794-Mytron-Zongamin-Congregate

i was late to the multi culti bandwagon, but i’m here now. like akasha system, sort of the child of those 1992 sounds and vibes. roland machines for akasha system, world percussion sample cd’s for multi culti.

https://www.discogs.com/release/35069345-Quiet-Village-Vanessa-Daou-Naked-Hunger

been a fan of vanessa daou for a long time so this was an easy purchase, but this really holds up. fuckin’ deep. i like the ā€œspoken wordā€ mix best. long, but doesn’t feel long.

https://www.discogs.com/release/33531555-Ron-Trent-Lift-Off-Part-One
https://www.discogs.com/release/33531600-Ron-Trent-Lift-Off-Part-Two

i had a bunch of credit at further, so i used it on the extremely too expensive ron trent album. i streamed it a bunch of times, and knew i’d be mad at myself if i didn’t buy a physical copy. all told, this was an $80 album, but i know i’ll get my money’s worth out of it in the long run.

https://www.discogs.com/release/125-2nd-Shift-Featuring-Heather-Somethin-Else

a nice lil’ cheapie found at daybreak. i loved these 2nd shift records, and heather’s dry spoken voice really is a chicago house subgenre of it’s own.

https://www.discogs.com/release/33607779-Lexx-Into-The-Stream

lexx can do no wrong. his records always sound thick & luxurious. lol i sound like a shampoo commercial.

https://www.discogs.com/release/34170811-Simon-Herody-Hard-Lounge

i don’t remember where i first heard this, but i love it. jazz, but like a jazzier layer over some classic roland boxes. one i streamed so many times, and finally had to buy it.

https://www.discogs.com/release/34646266-Ocean-Moon-Shimmering-States

i didn’t expect to like this as much as i did. atmospheric, but in a compelling way, and more than just washes of sounds.

https://www.discogs.com/release/34267066-Stephen-Vitiello-with-Brendan-Canty-and-Hahn-Rowe-Second

sort of post-rock, sort of kraut, sort of neither of those things. i like the balmat label - i’m not yet at the point where i buy all of them, but the ones i have, i’m enthusiastic about.

https://www.discogs.com/release/34171507-Space-Dimension-Controller-Six-Beginnings-EP

another one that didn’t grab me the first time, and then i gave it another shot and fell in love with it. again, 1992 b12 vibes and catchy motifs that make it one to go back to.

https://www.discogs.com/release/320972-Torch-Song-Dont-Look-Now-P2e-Remix

another used find, and a mix of P2E that i didn’t have yet.

more stuff on the way, too!

oh yeah, a couple more that arrived today.

https://www.discogs.com/release/31808615-Alan-Sparhawk-White-Roses-My-God-

haven’t listened to this yet but i’ve been a fan of low since ā€œi could live in hopeā€. i like it when al goes a little lo-fi electronic, like he did with his hospital people side project. i’m sure i’ll like this too.

https://www.discogs.com/release/31908625-Dawn-Richard-2-And-Spencer-Zahn-Quiet-In-A-World-Full-Of-Noise

got this but it’s warped to fuck, so it’ll get sent back. dawn has such a lovely voice - this is a sort of unusual pairing, it feels like a rare thing to have that textural ambient/jazz/modern classical paired with someone who can belt out r&b bangers with the best of them. loved the record before this one and i’m sure i’ll love this one too if i can get a nice flat copy.

and then this one arrived today:

https://www.discogs.com/release/15932526-Global-Communication-7614

really wish i would have bought this when it came out, loved it forever and was holding out for an original with the embossed cover. but a NM one of those would set me back quite a bit. so, i went with a repress and it sounds lovely. felt like a ā€œmust haveā€.

Its a beautiful record innit

Took me many, many years to track one down! A portal to another space.

It’s one of those records that I used to walk past, knowing it was there but figuring I’d get it some other time. But then it wasn’t available. Ever!

Meanwhile I was tracking down tunes from old Mix Morris sets that I loved - which has taken me a lifetime- and eventually the penny dropped that 2 or 3 of his staple tracks were actually from this album. Doh! But, we get there in the end!!

More subdued than The Ecstatic Music Of Alice Coltrane Turiyasangitananda, but just as good. Deep, warm, and infinitely playable.

Popped into inverted audio in Peckham yesterday for the first time. Some great dubby techno bits on offer.

Picked this up without listening beforehand. Very pleased so far.
