I've been listening to it for days, even continuously for hours. I put it on before going to sleep and let it play in a loop all night because I love to wrap myself in this liquid ocean of notes and be cradled by this beautiful voice. Today's #buzz feature album is from last year and one of the most beautiful releases of 2017, thank you Mr @ALFAMA. I love Thrill Jockey Records anyway.

Colleen - A Flame My Love, A Frequency (Thrill Jockey Records, October 20, 2017)

An album of stunning beauty. The French artist and composer Colleen (real name: Cecile Schott) literally astonishes with the release of her latest album titled "A Flame My Love, A Frequency," which came out last October on Thrill Jockey. The album is a concept album she began working on just a few weeks after the events of November 13, 2015. Just 4 hours before, Cecile had been wandering around Paris, admiring the beauty and serenity of those places that would soon become sites of total terror and death. The album addresses this theme of how beauty and vitality go hand in hand with feelings of fear and horror. "A Flame My Love, A Frequency" is an album of electronic pop and minimal compositions, recorded using traditional instrumentation mixed with more modern techniques, including loops and overdubs. The creation of experimental electronic compositions and the crafting of sensitive soundscapes with an ethereal fragility are often accompanied by evocative vocal performances ("Separating," "Winter Dawn," "Summer Night (Bat Song)," "The Stars Vs Creatures," "A Flame My Love, A Frequency"). We might think of James Blake, Imogen Heap, even some songs by Radiohead, but none of these reach the same emotional power and especially the same brilliance of the sounds found on this album. An album that, more than aiming to be a memorial, expresses a certain suffering and darkness, yet also hints at a faint glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel.

Siouxsie and the Banshees - Cascade An album that doesn't blow me away like the others, but this one is stunning! The same goes for "Cities In The Dust" from "Tinderbox".

Metal from Rising Sun n.4

Anthem - Venom Strike

Formed in the early '80s in Tokyo, they are considered, along with Loudness and Earthshaker, one of the most influential and successful heavy metal bands of this period. After the first three albums, the subsequent ones were produced by the world-renowned producer Christopher Andrew Tsangarides (known for producing the Judas Priest album, "Painkiller"). In 1992, the band released "Domestic Booty," one of their best albums, but with the explosion of grunge in the United States and the Visual kei movement in Japan, they decided to disband. After a long break of eight years, Anthem returned in 2000 with the album "Heavy Metal Anthem," featuring Graham Bonnet (former singer of Rainbow and Alcatrazz) as the vocalist. The album is entirely composed of classic tracks from the band rearranged with English lyrics. Subsequently, Eizo Sakamoto, the original singer, returned to the vocals.

Thank you @[madcat] for not giving up. The page for adding a new artist DeBaser: autƩnticati! is fixed; starting today, it can be misused. Those who misuse it will lose their phalanges. #done

Honestly, Iā€™m not crazy about this type of sound, but after listening to this EP all the way through, I see no reason not to include it in the #zot2017 showcase, especially because the overall quality doesnā€™t seem mediocre to me (but de gustibus).

Hater - Red Blinders EP (Fire Records, December 01, 2017)

New release from Fire Records by this quartet from Malmö, who previously released their first LP "You Tried" in 2016. This EP is called "Red Blinders" and is made up of four songs balancing between indie-pop and shoegaze, with nods to more classic and vintage sounds. Right from the first song, we can recognize a certain pop attitude typical of the seventies. "Blushing" (the first single released by the band on Fire Records) definitely recalls the historic hit "The Year of the Cat" by Al Stewart and is certainly the most interesting song of the bunch. "Rest" and "Red Blinders" have more delicate tones typical of what is now called dreampop. The sound of "Penthouse" is a bit heavier, inspired by The Smiths, and surely brings back sounds from the eighties. It seems thereā€™s a lot going on in this EP, but honestly, itā€™s nothing astounding or exceptional: just a group with a good taste for catchy, nostalgic pop sounds. Thatā€™s how it is. If you think otherwise.

Big Black - Kerosene Steve Albini is a man who loves his work and has been busting his ass for over thirty years. Other people, on the other hand, would have just coasted on this one piece. I admit that Rapeman and Shellac donā€™t make me writhe, throw myself against the wall, and run around the room like a frenzied dog like this masterpiece does. Set me on faiaaah!

Oasis Don t Go Away Live Concert from the Be Here Now tour of '97. Oasis conquered the world in just a few years, and the third album is selling like crazy. Noel always remembers 1997/1998 as the best time, the best tour, and the best "escapades," let's put it that way. Don't go away, here performed masterfully.
