Suggested by @ALFAMA, I have once again walked in the footsteps of "Kuba" Ziolek and his project Alameda.

Alameda Duo - The Luminous Guitar Craft of Alameda Duo (Instant Classic, August 31, 2017)

The latest chapter from Alameda (released under the name Alameda Duo), the project of Jakub "Kuba" Ziolek and his long-time collaborator, guitarist Mikolay Zielinski, is titled "The Luminous Guitar Craft of Alameda" (Instant Classic). Recorded in an evangelical church in Ziolek's hometown of Bydgoszcz, in northwestern Poland, the recording benefits from the exceptional acoustics of the venue, utilized at its best only during the nighttime hours to avoid external interference. The recording sessions took place exclusively at night, a characteristic that has clearly influenced the sound of the album, which is practically a kind of journey into the culture of Greek musical tradition that Kuba was introduced to by Rafael Iwanski (his collaborator on "Duch Tornada," 2015) through listening to an audio cassette of "Music of Ancient Greece" by Christodoulos Halaris (1946), a contemporary musician dedicated to the study and reconstruction of compositions from the classical era. Ziolek mentions Robbie Basho aka Daniel L. Robinson Jr and explains that the roots of his works are the same that have driven him on this adventure to recognize traces of American primitivism in the very sounds of ancient Greek music. Recorded exclusively in acoustic and with the Greek-Turkish bouzouki, the album consists of four tracks in which the two musicians demonstrate their great technical skills and build ecstatic harmonic compositions that resonate with light like crystals lost in time, where details such as the use of synthetic instruments and winds, in addition to the sung parts and the use of choirs, clearly make a difference and further enrich a work that reveals new aspects with each listen. I think I will listen to it for a long time to come. The fact is that in front of an artist like Ziolek, one must take off their hat for how talented he is.

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - Gumboot Soup (Flightless, December 31, 2017)

On December 31, the work was completed, and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard hit five for five by releasing the last album of 2017: "Gumboot Soup" (Flightless). It’s been an unprecedented year for the band led by Stu McKenzie, who has certainly written one of the most significant chapters in the psychedelic rock genre of recent years, apparently before taking a break (as it seems...) to rest after the super-productivity they've demonstrated up to this point. In summary, out of five albums, I would say that "Flying Microtonal Banana" and "Sketches of Brunswick East" are two little gems, but the quality level is still very high, and this album here is no exception, even if it was received more lukewarmly by listeners and critics who may have unjustly felt they had had enough after listening to the previous four. Instead, this album is not only very beautiful, but it also offers additional insights that don't come so much from the more typically "freak-psychedelic" tracks ("Greenhouse Heath Death," "Muddy Water," "The Great Chain of Being," "All Is Known") or from jazz fusion moments similar to those of "Sketches..." like "Superposition," "The Last Oasis," or "The Wheel." I think instead of this almost pop-soul psychedelic sound of songs like "Beginner's Luck," "Barefoot Desert," the funk of "Down The Sink," and the groove of "I'm Sleepin' In," the most interesting moments of this last chapter in this great and incredible epic journey of this crazy yet brilliant band that continues to expand its horizons with positive results. It will be difficult to ask for more in the future because with these records they have truly gone beyond every possible and impossible expectation.
