The rebel spell - last run |

CaimanJesus

tacos n stuff
02.19.18 | id say by .1 is fine |
tacos n stuff
02.19.18 | damn idk what to choose for mine lol |
Papa Universe
02.19.18 | Are you gonna assign us what to listen to next or do we do it on our own terms? |
tacos n stuff
02.19.18 | on own terms i suppose, kinda just cherry pick what looks interesting to you and just shoutbox me/post rating in comments, nothing hidden like secret santa |

02.19.18 | "I understand this requires dedication so if you dont think you will get through a lot of albums/dont think you'll really get anything out of joining, dont join."
Still working on my year-end lists, unfortunately, so that's a good piece of advice to throw in. |
tacos n stuff
02.19.18 | i was gonna originally do 3 if like 4 ppl joined but we're already at 11 lol
i just hope everyone's really game to jam 22 albums |
bgillesp
02.19.18 | Yeah, three each now is way too many so I understand |
Aberf
02.19.18 | If you don't mind this taking months, I don't mind joining.
|
tacos n stuff
02.19.18 | its totally up to you abe, if you think you can do it within a semi timely manner the n go for it
i def expect this to take *at least* a month or 2 anyway |
Winesburgohio
02.19.18 | oh shit true! can u sub it out for Toshiya Tsunoda's Somashikiba??? i feel like i want to keep that album cover aesthetic |

granitenotebook
02.19.18 | i'll join although it might take me a bit to get through all those albums
my two would be Disruptive Muzak by Sam Kidel (4.8), and heat.wav by Amherst (4.2). |
Frippertronics
02.19.18 | wait
am i too late for this???
i seriously thought this was a james bond list, not gonna lie |
Papa Universe
02.19.18 | You're not alone in that, Frip. |
Frippertronics
02.19.18 | If I'm not, I'd probably choose:
Ryuichi Sakamoto - Thousand Knives of (4.4) (electronic, modern classical)
Everything But the Girl - Temperamental (4.1) (trip-hop, drum and bass, house) |
Papa Universe
02.19.18 | 10 - 4.8
11 - 3.7
13 - 4.6 (but I haven't jammed this in a while, so it might change) |
Frippertronics
02.19.18 | Also, I've heard none of these so I'd be definitely interested in doing this. |
bgillesp
02.19.18 | I think capping at 30 is fair. That would let one more person join after Fripp. I'm okay with up to 40 but I bet most people want it to be smaller |
tacos n stuff
02.19.18 | ill cap at 30 picks (15 ppl)
ill update stuff in a bit guys |
tacos n stuff
02.19.18 | got rid of favorite in title so its easier to read on front page lol |
Frippertronics
02.19.18 | thanks! |
tacos n stuff
02.19.18 | Alright fellas! Thats the offical line up
jam whenever you want/can and just come back here, post rating in comments, and ill update the listtt |
Frippertronics
02.19.18 | I may do two a day, starting today. |

02.19.18 | I'm gonna do 2 per week, bois.
|
bgillesp
02.19.18 | thats 4 months |
Aberf
02.19.18 | Should put the length of the album tbh. |
bgillesp
02.19.18 | 2 tries to be Mos Def and actually doesn't do bad. A little repetitive on the beats side but I'll throw it a 4.1.
Tl;dr
2- 4.1 |
bgillesp
02.19.18 | Shoot, 2 was out way before Mos Def, Imma give it a little bump then.
2- 4.2/5 |
Papa Universe
02.19.18 | 6 is more of a 4.7 to me. |
granitenotebook
02.19.18 | oh i forgot genres sorry. disruptive muzak is ambient and heat.wav is future funk |
CaimanJesus
02.19.18 | 9's probably gonna average pretty low, only reason I chose it is because I knew the guy before he died, so it's more personal. |
granitenotebook
02.19.18 | 5 - 2.5/5 too much for me, overwhelming wall of sound that doesn't really meld into anything really good for long |
granitenotebook
02.19.18 | 2 - 4.2/5 really fun listen |
CaimanJesus
02.19.18 | 17 - 4.1, reminds me a lot of a band that is escaping my mind rn, might be bright eyes |
oneups
02.19.18 | Really like this idea. |
CaimanJesus
02.19.18 | It's capped off at 15 people |
oneups
02.19.18 | Alright thanks for the heads up. Probably will still listen and rate a fair chunk of these but I'll delete my comment if I can :/ |
CaimanJesus
02.19.18 | 18 - 3.7 |
CaimanJesus
02.20.18 | 2 - 2.6 holy shit that was too long, would've enjoyed it if it was shorter |
bgillesp
02.20.18 | Jamming 10 again now. Probably gonna hold my rating. If the tempo/time signatures were so dang constant through the whole record it would be a drop dead, stone cold 5/5. 4.5 will have to be it the way it is though |
50iL
02.20.18 | 30 is a 4.5 for me, and 31 is a 4 |

02.20.18 | caiman and bloon going at light speed rn |

tacos n stuff
02.20.18 | i may be boring and just go in number order here
will get started on this tm, 1 or 2 a day should be good for me |
Frippertronics
02.20.18 | That's probably what I'm going to do, since I covered 50iL's today |

CaimanJesus
02.21.18 | 27 - 3.6 |
Archelirion
02.21.18 | Would you kindly slap a CHEEKY 3.8 on 13, please? ^ ^
And actually, exactly the same on that Gowns rec, if you will. |

02.21.18 | How does Caiman keep finding the time for an album? |
CaimanJesus
02.21.18 | I think you missed my rating for 7, but I put 3.6 |
CaimanJesus
02.21.18 | I listen to an album at my lunch break, then when I get home from class I rip through a bunch of albums back to back so I can get back to jamming 2018 releases |

Papa Universe
02.22.18 | 25: Life on Venus - Encounters:
I decided to start my listening odyssey through this list with directly facing my arch-nemesis as of late, the wretched beast of mildness and washed out sameness, shoegaze dream pop. And much like in the past I had difficulties with this style, this album changes an equal amount of nothing for me. Sorry.
2.5 |
bgillesp
02.22.18 | So caiman didn't really love anything here except his own recs. That's a shame |
Papa Universe
02.22.18 | and they call me a meanie |

Rigma
02.22.18 | "So caiman didn't really love anything here except his own recs. That's a shame"
he gave gowns a 4.4 tho |
granitenotebook
02.22.18 | 3 - 3.3, wanted to love it but just couldn't |
Archelirion
02.22.18 | 2 - 3.9, really neat boom-bap stuff. Surprised that it came from the West Coast :] |
bgillesp
02.22.18 | 5- 4.0: I liked the concept and how free the whole thing was but it got lost in its own freeness a bit too. Great stuff though |
Drifter
02.22.18 | dred scott is a 3 |
Frippertronics
02.22.18 | Tacos, i goofed
The Gowns is a 4.2, the Red Burns is a 3.5 |
bgillesp
02.22.18 | 6 is a 3.8 for me. I get Chumbawamba vibes from this Papi (which I like) |
Papa Universe
02.22.18 | 20: Rainbow Kitten Surprise - RKS:
In preparation for the ever anticipated 2018 album of theirs, I decided to have the next stop on this list be this album, which I don't think I gave enough of a deep listen to, now regretting it, since I could have been the one going around and telling folks about it. If there is anything this band does well, it's the song-writing and the generally playful atmosphere of the album. It is indeed a cute little effort with a lot of personality. Highly likeable. As if Landlady fused with Menomena and a dose of overexcessive flamboyance.

bgillesp
02.22.18 | Hooray for RKS hype!! |
CaimanJesus
02.22.18 | I already knew gowns. I loved the collection and anything but the girl |
Frippertronics
02.22.18 | Everything But the Girl's prior album is similar
Just a heads up |
CaimanJesus
02.22.18 | Will check sometime |
tacos n stuff
02.22.18 | heyo, will update later |
bgillesp
02.23.18 | 7 needs to be a 4.3 from me. A few more listens gave it a bump up |
tacos n stuff
02.23.18 | i dont even know how to rate cooper clarke, did i love it, did i hate? idk but ill give it a 3 fuk it |
tacos n stuff
02.23.18 | okay maybe its like a 3.5 |
bgillesp
02.23.18 | 8- 4.1, this was so cool and unique but some of the transitions between songs or with songs but between styles were kinda rough. How did you not fall in love with the latest Cobalt if you like this so much Caiman? |
bgillesp
02.24.18 | 9- 3.5 |
CaimanJesus
02.24.18 | Eh, main problem with slow forever was length |
granitenotebook
02.24.18 | 4 - 4.3, very powerful stuff |

02.25.18 | 11- 3.2 |
tacos n stuff
02.25.18 | got it, thanks guys |
bgillesp
02.25.18 | 12- 3.8, it's really great but every song is the same.
Also thanks for being a good dude and updating all this crap Tacos |
tacos n stuff
02.25.18 | nah its all good bg, as long as we got some people to find new cool stuff im happy
it sucks being like the only one hyping an album and no one jams it when you rec lol |
bgillesp
02.25.18 | Yeah, I know what you mean. Been reppin RKS for so long and only like 8 ratings |
bgillesp
02.25.18 | Can't find 13 anywhere. On to 14 |
bgillesp
02.25.18 | 14-4.0 |
bgillesp
02.25.18 | So 15 is really great. So many awesome moods and sounds spread out, but the fact that it is so spread out makes it drag a little for me. I'll still throw it a 4.1 though |
tacos n stuff
02.25.18 | ayyy fuck it ill take it lol
im jamming electric president now, pretty sweet so far |
bgillesp
02.25.18 | I edited as soon as I posted, I like 4.1 better for it (The Necks) |
tacos n stuff
02.25.18 | lol ill update |
bgillesp
02.25.18 | 16 comin in at 3.9 |
bgillesp
02.25.18 | I'm pretty sure 17 is by Typhoon. Not the Collection. I'm kidding, but their another 12-piece indie folk band with horns and a female vocalist and another vocalist who sounds like Kyle Morton. So basically its the same band. I wouldn't rate this up there with the best of Typhoon since the songwriting is a little less creative to me, but because I love Typhoon so much this is still very enjoyable.
17- 4.1 |
bgillesp
02.25.18 | 18-3.2 |
bgillesp
02.25.18 | Also 4 was a 4.0 from me, not 4.3 |
Papa Universe
02.25.18 | 18: Irezumi - Endurance:
My next stop on this journey is something related to a tradition I hold annually. Every year I ask local patrons to choose me a genre of my disliking (various levels thereof) and for the year afterwards I will closely observe all the newcoming releases that genre has to offer, in order to attempt to sway me into liking it or tolerating it somewhat more. This year it is Ambient, hence my next stop on this journey.
I cannot say that Endurance floored me with some kind of atmospheric beauty, but it certainly piqued my interest enough for me to carry on listening to its staggering runtime. If anything positive can be said about it, it definitely engulfs you with calm and sense of satisfaction, as ambient music -to my knowledge- should. Certainly not a revolutionary record, it still holds up well and as a means of seeking out a calming musical shelter, it serves well.

02.26.18 | 27- 3.4
Some great tunes but also some ones that I didn't really like |
bgillesp
02.26.18 | 28- 3.8
Liked the more chill trip hop section and some of the more "club" sounding music (forgive my ignorance of electronic terms), but some of those like the first song were a bit grating. |

Quite an entertaining listen this was, even if slightly overlong for its own good. I have to admit, as someone with rather vague understanding of hip-hop and a therefore apparent lack of appreciation for many a release, this did surprisingly well.

03.01.18 | I've decided to slap a 4.2 on 26. Heck it was probably just that I happened to be bored doing computer work while listening to this but it struck a chord. It had me swimming with ideas on social commentary. It had me laughing. It had me mondering what would happen next. But it's also not even music and I can't bring myself to 4.5 a... Well I won't spoil it for the others. |

03.02.18 | 5: Standing On The Corner - Red Burns:
I wanna get all of my negative ratings out of the way. And next up is the most pointless album on this entire list, no doubts about that. This is just purposeless noise, random sounds and semi-developed tunes splattered around a boring-to-death emptiness of a record. Nothing nice to say about this.

03.05.18 | I intend on getting through it, although not at a lightning fast pace (bgill can attest to this) |
bgillesp
03.05.18 | Haha, yes. Hey Fripp, is the rest of Ryuichi's Discog more like this, like async, or completely different? |
Frippertronics
03.05.18 | It's a lot of very different albums, although if I were to suggest the next step after this to go listen to Yellow Magic Orchestra's stuff and Ryuichi's B-2 Unit and Left Handed Dream
For stuff like Async, his collaborations with Alva Noto as well as his works with Taylor Deupree will suffice although I personally feel like Async is and will be a unique record in his catalog. |
bgillesp
03.05.18 | That's cool. Even though I liked async, it's not something I'll go to often since the mood is very specific for me, so I'll check his other stuff sometime in that case |

03.17.18 | 8: The Lion's Daughter and Indian Blanket - A Black Sea:
Having been a fan of TL'sD before and having been intrigued by the idea of the album, I was looking forward to this. I deeply enjoyed the atmosphere and some of the song-writing and arrangement, but the production was a little too off-note and drowned some of the grander musical moments. Highly enjoyable nonetheless.

03.21.18 | 21: Ray Lynch - Deep Breakfast:
bgillesp rarely misses with good recs for me, but this was more or less a miss, indeed. I did like the overall ethereal vibe, but I doubt I am capable of voluntarily putting this on to jam. Background music like no other, though. Makes everything seem whimsical.

Papa Universe
04.10.18 | 9: The Rebel Spell - Last Run:
To a certain extent intriguing and definitely far from boring, but this album just didn't really strike me as anything all that outstanding. Indeed, I did not expect the guitar solos, but they don't change the fact that the album overall is far from an essential listen.
3.3 |
Papa Universe
04.10.18 | 17: The Collection - Ars Moriendi:
Admittedly a bombastic Collection (heh) of songs with some incredibly catchy and pleasant hooks and instrumental palette. However, the album ends up being slightly indulgent with its runtime, where it eventually overstays its welcome. You just don't need 13 songs that have the same thing to offer, no matter how ambitious and explosive.

04.30.18 | 30: Blood - O Agios Pethane:
Oh boy, the atmosphere here is so dense it's tangible. If the intro doesn't make you feel like in preparation for some Lord of the Rings battle, then only an orc-cosplayer stabbing you might. I do wish the rest of the album was as epic and overwhelming. It is still a fairly decent collection of enjoyable grind with some decent tunage every now and then, but nothin particularly special.

Papa Universe
05.08.18 | 27: Amherst - heat.wav:
Is this sample-based? It feels sample-based.
Rather unexpected musical discovery here, I really did not think I will enjoy this kind of music, because I rarely am fond of remixes, reimaginations and samples, but it was all done fairly tastefully here. Still, perhaps my lack of experience with the style and therefore also lack of patience is what kept me from actually truly, fully enjoying it.

06.13.18 | 16: Electric President - Sleep Well:
A welcome surprise. Song after song, this just clicked, in spite of the lackluster vocals and seemingly not-my-type genre. Almost every song here simply managed to crawl its way up my spine and progress to a point that every significant issue I could have possibly had with it just *poof* diappeared.

14: Stephan Micus - Implosions:
A somewhat patience-testing album, but in the right mood, in the right setting, in the right situation, everything just *snap* clicks.

4: Gowns - Red State:
Pretty much mesmerising for both all the right reasons and all the wrong ones too. It goes on for so long that it bends your mind into liking it, but when dissected, it kind of falls apart.
3.6 |
Papa Universe
06.18.18 | yo, what about my Rebel Spell rating. also this:
12: Spiritualized - Live at the Royal Albert Hall:
I suppose this could have had an impact on me, were I at all a fan of the band or even had any level of knowledge about their music outside of a few albums and songs I heard a long time ago (I think, I really can't tell at this point). So sitting through 15 tracks of this album tailor-made for the fans was quite a tiring experience. But I went away as intrigued as ever. I feel as though all teh essential parts of their work were exposed to me and I now am a few points higher in my knowledge of just what they might be.

06.21.18 | 32: Yugen Blakrok - Return of the Astro-Goth:
Though it is a little longer than perhaps necessary, this album still holds no punches when it comes to biting delivery and driving beats. It feels oddly aggressive, but simultaneously sorrowfully dim. Quite a great album.

Papa Universe
06.21.18 | 3: Toshiki Kadamatsu - Sea Is a Lady:
Is this what started vaporwave? I swear this album is the ultimate definition of "feel good" and "warm and breezy". Goodness. It wears thin by the end of it, but chop it up into pieces and play it randomly throughout the day when you're happy and everything will be just fine.
3.5 |
Papa Universe
06.21.18 | Why y'all bailed on this? |
Papa Universe
06.24.18 | 15: The Necks - Open:
Minimalistic from head to toe and so, so, so tiring to listen to. I am rather amazed at how much effort I had to put into something as effortless and undemanding, because the lack of anything happening truly did exhaust me. It got so ridiculous that even if a cymbal as much as gonged ever so louder than before it threw me out of the trance that the rest of the album put me into. It is the background music to some surreal David Lynch-ian arthouse film about paranoia and isolation. Yeesh.
3.5 |
Papa Universe
06.24.18 | 19: Tierpark - The Moment Two Worlds Meet:
I really like the cutesiness of this, because while it is undoubtedly adorable and cute, due to its mathy, chaotic instrumentation it never quite falls into the pit of obnoxiousness. There are a lot of catchy and intriguingly progressing tracks here and I ended up having a great time, even if the album overall hardly presents anything above just "good time vibes" and danceable tunes.

06.24.18 | I do hope you will start this tourney in 2019 too. |

06.27.18 | 24: Aimer - Midnight Sun:
Sprinkled with almost sickening sugary pop synthetic production and mixing, this album is quite excruciating. Yeah, not really all that much more to say. This is horrible.

Papa Universe
06.27.18 | Cannot find 23 and 26 anywhere.
Also kind of hope (in spite of this year's low attendance) that if there will be a second instalment next year, it will take three recs from everyone. |
Papa Universe
07.20.18 | still looking for 23 and 26. other than that, I'm done.
31: Shorty - Thumb Days:
This album is ugly and difficult to swallow, but for all intents and purposes. I admire the band's insistance on being off-putting and crafting a sound as disjointed and unsettling as this, but no matter how purposeful it was, it is still difficult to sit through. That means it is not my thing.

07.30.18 | 26: Sam Kidzel - Disruptive Muzak:
I am not sure, whether what I listened to is the actual album, because all I could find online is a 20 minutes long album with the same cover as Disruptive Muzak, but different title, DIY Version. So I'm now describing that. It is, I believe, what drove me off the ambient music in the first place: uneventful. I just can't pen down what am I supposed to listen for. It is the very definition of background music, even if as such it is acceptable.

Papa Universe
07.30.18 | nevermind then, I won't bother. d'you know where to find Toshiya Tsunoda - Somashikiba? |
bgillesp
07.30.18 | Nope. And also, the album was meant to be both the one I listened to and he one you did. Side A side B kinda deal. I'm guessing the point was for you to call random businesses and not talk but just let the album play into the phone to see what they say and make your own version of side A different every time |
Papa Universe
07.31.18 | yeah, I'm not gonna do that. |
bgillesp
07.31.18 | Yeah me neither. If I had checked both I probably would have given a lower score but Side A was pretty trippy |
