This time, it's a first entry for SL3, one of the four Tyrannosaurus Rex albums, much folkier than the electric 70s album. Not T. Rex, Tyrannosaurus Rex. The story goes that Tony Visconti, producing the album T.Rex in 1970 was fed up with writing the whole name on the tapes. Bolan was initially furi...

18. Bee Gees - Main Course: 4/10 I was going to be much more severe with this album initially. But after a couple of listens, there are some good moments in it. I abhorr the Bee Gees and their disco pop, falsetto, very nasal voice and didn't see beyon Saturday Night Fever as a result. Yet, Wind of C...

Chelsea Wolfe - Hiss Spun: 8 This is a very good entry. The atmosphere of this album is gloomy and sticky enough to swallow you whole, but the ethereal voice of Chelsea Wolfe lifts your head out of the impeding doom. All the elements of doom metal are there, courtesy of an impressive roster she enli...

I'm going to change the way I nominate...
Rather than pick through my "liked songs" on Spotify, I'm going to use the Last.Fm playlists. They curate from all sorts of algorithms and some of the songs are pure gems.

So here we go.

Spiritualized, curious as to why last weeks nomination of the Beach Boys’ Sloop John B didn’t make it to the list this week. It’s ranked 2699 AT AMF and does not appear on your 1000+ previously nominated songs. Forgive me if I’m missing something here. If it was purely an oversight I’d like to reno...

Did anyone else see that Mogwai are now poised to have the number-one album in the UK this week? I'm not positive, but I believe that would be the first time a post-rock band has scored a number-one like that in any country, period. Nope - but the single is VERY strong. Makes me want to lend an ear...

one of our most popular of our entries so far.

Powerful music, check Operatic, check, Sometimes dissonant, check Complex, check, Dark, check A very polarising piece this is. Even in my own taste or opinion.

Seriously People, one vote for Tool ? argh. Soon, I will put Pneuma's Danny Carey drumscam on as a mandatory viewing for everyone. Watched a dozen of "video" reactions to that video and all of them said they missed out on years of Tool. So, time to catch the gravy train !

CHAMPS - Vamala - 3/10. Not really my cup of tea. Tedious and this kind of pop (don't see what's indie about it) only works if the melodies are catchy as hell. Not the case here.

And voted for Grinderman, Dream Theater and Bert Kaempfer (nice variety there !!)

15. The Elgins - Darling Baby (1966): 7/10

Good collection of Motown songs, perhaps a bit formulaic in the sense that it doesn't surprise. But I do like the take on some classics with a female voice, and the singer's is actually quite a pleasant voice.
Something I would like to listen again.

Something completely unknown, which sounds pretty awesome to me.
Only 3k plays on Spotify, and what I could qualify as a Catalan Fugazi.

Nisei's 2007 Album "Continents" is really quite good. Full of polyrhythms which ring in my ear like a worm.
Best track so far : Una Setmana Sencera

14. Defunkt - Defunkt - 3/10 Not really a fan. Like others have pointed out, funk seems to be out of favour and this album can explain why.

Thirteen Senses | The Invitation (2004) - 6/10

I guess it's OK. Very reminiscent of Coldplay indeed, but too much to be comfortable. It's therefore formulaic, doesn't take any risks, but remains really quite OK. Not much replay value, though.
