The Album Leaf and 13 & God
Yesterday I decided it was about time to explore a little outside of my usual tastes so I picked up The Album Leaf - In A Safe Place (LP) and 13 & God - s/t (double LP). I dunno, you Notwist fans think this stuff might grow on me? I found them both to be a little boring. I much prefer The Album Leaf and not just because Pall Jenkins appears on some of the songs, but rather because it is more percussive and therefore is easier for me to latch onto. Maybe I'll change my mind after some more spins but I'm definitely gonna have to burn 13 & God to CD-R in order to do that. The LP sounds very good but it's kind of a PITA to flip the record over every two or three songs.
