New and Kind of New Releases!

[Davey]

I'll jump on Davey's Woovenhand bandwagon if there's still room. I can't get enough of this album.

Don't mean to busy your balls there Jimbo, but Woovenhand? Sure you're on the right bandwagon? Hehehe, cool story about the local record shop. I did try to turn our old buddy unleasHell onto this one, but not sure how successful I was. Seemed like that dark sound would be down his karma path, but maybe not. Gave a copy of this and that Lilium disc to a friend recently but haven't heard back yet. Hard to predict when something is so powerful. Apparently turns a lot of people off. Just the opposite with me when it comes to that 16 Horsepower "Folklore", or any of the Woven Hand albums, but especially this one. Very compelling. I was hoping the latest Scott Walker album would be more like this, but it's just too cold and distant for me. Scary, to be sure, but just not something I connect with. "Mosaic" though is like good cinema, it's an experience, an adventure, so tangible, so passionate, so spiritual. And that coming from someone who isn't a religious person. On vinyl too at Sounds Familyre Records in the USA, or Glitterhouse in the EU. There, did my part

I type too fast... occasionally : ) X-tra "o" not withstanding, my copy clearly says "Wovenhand" on the cover. Maybe I should start my only little band wagon now that gas has come down a bit. Being the newb on this front, however, I will of course defer to your judgement on the matter. It's just a darn good album that will be get ignored. The perfect title for this one would be "Ancient Melodies Of The Future". Too bad it wasn't available. I guess Mosaic covers it sufficiently.

I worked my usual 8-3 on Friday and then had to go back and work 5-10 since I had to fire one bloke and had another quit with no notice (why is it never the same person?). Didn't give me much time to spend in front of the PC and visit with what I'm hoping turns out to be a lovely thread. Going to spend some time checking out some of the other recs on Sunday. Hopefully there's another gem or two buried in here at some point. Personally I think that the Dears are either unexplored yet or vastly under rated this time around. Not sure which.

Yeah, I was just kidding you about the two o's since I call them both Woven Hand and Wovenhand as you can see in my previous post ...

Woven Hand - Blush Music (the only one of the 4 Wovenhand discs I'm missing, a cinematic reworking of the great debut by one of my favorite artists, and part of a very noteworthy family, be it the original 16 Horsepower and their Denver posse, or the branches of Lilium and Wovenhand)

But never Woovenhand yet

I don't own it, but thought the first Dears disc was pretty nice. Dark, but maybe just not quite special enough to pull the trigger, can't remember now. Aren't they from Canada? Sound very British. Know nothing of this new one. Which is best?

Yeah, they kind of have a BSS thing going on. Both are good, critics are going to like No Cities Left a lot more than Gang Of Losers. But why let someone else decide which is better when it's so ez to get a chance to hear them both?

Don't mean to busy your balls there Jimbo

Since we're bringing up typos...I sincerely hope you meant 'bust' and not 'busy'...two completely different things...totally. (not that there's anything wrong with that)

I can't believe no one called you on this one...

Hmm, short memory, or short attention span, or short something

OMG, bookmarked?

I was kind of hoping that that particular episode would fade away and become something of RR legend with nobody remembering if it really happened or not. Guess I need to wait a few more years for that to happen now. Thanks for trying 3lock.

I will mention once again that "y" and "t" are side by side on the keyboard : )

I'm not a guy, but I'm pretty sure I'd rather have someone busying my balls than busting them!!!
