Fripp & Eno - No Pussyfooting

I must start by saying that this album is not what you would expect. If you have ever listened to a lot of White Rainbow or the more ambient Acid Mothers Temple/Kawabata Makoto releases, you will know what to expect. The album, though only consisting of two songs, is a true tour de force. Both tracks consist of a more or less droning, somewhat abrasive guitar accompanied by a more spaced out guitar. Though reminiscent of a common raga, the  tracks are more alaps than actual songs or compositions. This is highly recommend for all folks interested in ambient jammers!

Have Fun

Andrew Cauthen - Country

This album is perfect for winter time. I have a feeling the next couple of posts will be albums 'perfect' for winter time... This album discovered me a couple years ago. I was downloading a Stars of the Lid discography torrent and whoever made it seemed to have put a couple extra songs in there. I chacked them out, not knowing what it would sound like. To be honest, I was a little nervous, being young and the title of the artist/albums where very strange (take pills die/ there are better ways to kill yourself you know).
First time jamming to these were excellent! There is a crispness to this ominous, and at some times sinister  droner-jam. The suspense and stillness of this album make it a perfect snow-gazer. It is so easy to pop this on and just get lost in the flurries! If you enjoy this, please let me know to put more up!


Soy Loco por ti Sensimilla!

Orange Funk Company

This is a lo-fi funk tape from Ethiopia, I found it on awesometapesfromafrica, an online shopping center. The tape is in Amharic, the language of Ethiopia. Due to the language barrier, I have very little information on the band. The most I can say is that they sound as if Ariel Pink's covered Mahmoud Ahmed.  For anyone who couldn't make sense of that last sentence, if it were to exist, it would be mega-thrill... Recommended for any folks who enjoy funky world jammers!

Jambo!
