VA – Voodoo Rhythm Records: Records to Ruin Any Party, Vol. 3

This has been sitting on my Play Later list for quite a while because I needed to relisten it a few times. There are too many tracks to absorb at once and the selection is just all over the place, meaning there are so many things to notice and bands to look up that it needs some attention. As for the ridiculusly (and wonderfully) wide range of genres I just quote the official notes: “from ye ye garage beat over to blues trash cajun to string arrangement funeral music over to Chicago boogie blues to psychadelic garage blues then way down to outlaw country… and much much more” – so yeah, there’s a lot. Anyway, it’s awesome. Both the variety and the tunes, too.

Peggy Gou – Moment EP

Awesome disco house. Among friends we’ve been talking about two parties that would be great to go to: banger but intelligent tech-house and a cool easy-going disco. Starry Night is exactly the kind of disco I’m wishing for.

Evigt Mörker ‎- Krona

For the first listen I was hooked on this. For the second listen I found it boring. It’s totally up to mood and state of mind, but it’s a good minimal techno album. Also it shows that it’s a debut, some way to go, but worth keeping an eye on.

Elbow – Giants of All Sizes

I keep saying that I’ve never liked indie rock, and yet, I always stop to listen to any new Elbow record and I don’t think there’s been one I didn’t like. It’s the perfect laying on the carpet and watching the ceiling music.

Korn – The Nothing

I haven’t been expecting a Korn album this good in this lifetime. Well, in full honesty I also haven’t been looking for it. From their debut up until the turn of the millennium I was all up for everything Korn, then probably life just moved on. Interestingly some same-era stuff, like Deftones for example, stick with me way more and longer, but I never really got into a Korn relistening frenzy. And this time this new album came, and it has some of the same sound that is Korn in a very original way but also I see how it’s new and relevant. It has its hooks to cater for different audiences but still it’s completely true to its own roots and sound. I like this a lot.

In a way I have this feeling lately that I’m reliving an era of my childhood. Looking at the news it’s new Tool album released, Diablo 4 announced, Rage Against the Machine reuniting, watching a Pet Sematary remake, etc. But at the same time, some of these things are truly good output, at least as for the music part (and even D3 haters are optimistic about D4). I hear so much whining about the music industry being shit, music review media going down, and all that, but I love how so much great new music is being released. Well, whiners gonna whine.

Orlando Voorn – The Best of Orlando Voorn

It’s a mishmash of things around the house-electro-rave globe from a lifetime catalog. Two random notes. One: Playboy – A Paco Di Bango’s World goes to my hilarious house tracks playlist, right after Big Fat Head. Funny house is a thing, I’m slowly getting this. Two: Format – Solid Session is my favorite dancefloor anthem on this one, and it’s from 1991, gosh.
