That Kind of Blue vs Bitches Brew, thread from a month or so ago, got me thinking about some Miles albums that i hadn't listened to in a while. And Tutu was one of them...And i still think it's a pretty funky album.

Vektor is a kick ass, technical, death/thrash/speed metal band from Arizona. They have three full length releases. And their latest album (Terminal Redux) was voted by many, as being the best metal album of 2016.

I played it in full because I think the album is very good and well produced. Good songs, great vibe and cool production.

Nice stuff, you guys. I was on an Anderson .Paak kick last autumn. Was really digging his tunes. I also listened to his previous album Venice, and found a lot on there to enjoy as well. The funny thing is that I probably wouldn't have given Venice a chance if I had just listened to it as is, without getting into Anderson through Malibu first.

.

My personal favs on Malibu are 'Put Me Thru', 'Am I Wrong', 'The Season/Carry Me', and 'The Bird'.

On Yes Lawd!, I really like 'Suede', 'Link Up', 'Get Bigger', and 'Starlite'.

The last non-Prince I listened to was Whitney Houston's "I'm Your Baby Tonight." I listened to it from beginning to end because I had just bought it, and I bought it on CD.

RIP Whitney

Porcupine Tree - Tarquin's Seaweed Farm

Early tracks from the late-80s by "modern prog god" Steven Wilson. I listened to it because I've been on a "Steven Wilson kick" lately. I got into his stuff about a year ago and there's like 30-40 releases to wade through.

Tarquin's Seaweed Farm sounds like a bunch of home recordings, but I think it's a very charming collection of music. It's rather jokey, in overall. The album cover seems to have been done with a home printer from the time (!).

Funnily enough, it happens to have a cover of Prince's "The Cross" on it. I find the "production aesthetic" to be somewhat reminiscent of Prince's "sketchier" tracks from the time in general. He seems to have been an influence on Wilson.

Control- Janet Jackson

Cocteau Twins-

Garlands

Head Over Heels

Treasure

Victorialand

Rufus- Rufusized

I like Malibu; though I prefer Yes Lawd! NxWorries remind me a bit of an R&B Madvillain, my favorite Stones Throw artist.

You listed 3 of my faves, "Kutless" is still my fave for now.

A Seat At The Table - Solange

To hear what the buzz was about. I bought it on vinyl and it's a really good listen.

Apocalipstick by Cherry Glazer

and before that Loyle Carner's Yesterday's gone

both good new albums

The other day I listened 2 Voodoo by D'angelo cuz I've been in a mumbly funk mood, revisiting Black Messiah also (1000 Deaths = n ). Both very good. Voodoo is a classic. 1 2 many songs up there (I can give or take One Mo'Gin altho I like it more now n in the grand scheme o the album), but I wouldn't change it 1 bit
