#1036 Dirty Projectors – Bitte Orca

It seems to be have been some time since I have written that I have not heard of an artist or band, but today that changes with Dirty Projectors. They are an indie band, which mostly consist of singer-songwriter David Longstreth, who is the only real member. I have never heard of him either. Bitte […]

#1029 Portishead – Third

Portishead release their third album Third in 2008. It was their first album in eleven years and their last one to date. The band took the music into a new direction of incorporating krautrock, surf rock, and doo wop. It was rated by many critics as the best album of 2008. I found it hard […]

#1019 Radiohead – In Rainbows

Radiohead‘s seventh studio album In Rainbows was recognised as one of the best albums of 2007 and of the decade by many music publications. The released the album as a pay-what-you-want, which they claimed made money for them. I believe most band do not make much money from album sales. They make it from concert […]

#994 Liars – They Were Wrong, So We Drowned

Liars? I know many of them. I have never heard of the band. They Were Wrong, So We Drowned is their second album of noise rock. As of 2014, they have only one remaining original member, Angus Andrew. The album is loosely based on the Brocken legends. Rolling Stone magazine hated this album so much […]

#945 Wilco – Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

Wilco‘s third studio album Yankee Hotel Foxtrot was released online in 2001, but it did not get its physical release until 2002. The chances of me liking this album are pretty low. I have not be a big fan of their previous albums. I will be fair in my review! I actually liked this album. It was […]

#929 Radiohead – Amnesiac

Amnesiac is Radiohead‘s fourth album on the list of 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. It was included in the 2005 version, but it was removed from later editions. Some fans were disappointed that the band did not return to its former style. I prefer this Radiohead over the rock one. I like […]

#220 Can – Tago Mago

German experimental rock bands are not something you hear much about in the USA. Krautrock is not popular in the land of the free. It is a pity! Can is one of those bands I have never heard of and wished I had. I have been sitting here writing another blog post and doing some […]

#91 Pink Floyd – The Piper at the Gates of Dawn

The Piper at the Gates of Dawn is one of Pink Floyd’s album that I have never heard. I was a huge fan of them in my teen years. Even my mother listened to them when I was a child. I am really curious how this will sound compared to the albums that I know from Pink Floyd. This first album from Pink Floyd has […]
