Muslimgauze - several albums post-1998 - possibly (likely) the worst music I've ever heard in my life, and I'm neither exaggerating nor saying that without surprise - I hate Leo Sayer and Chuck Mangione, but they aren't completely lost on me why someone would listen to them. I cannot say the same for these Muslimgauze ideas, and really, that's all they are; just horrible ideas that play out even worse as music. And if he wasn't obsessed with the Beastie Boys, I'd be amazed. (Beastie Boys are great)
Analogy - s/t 1972 - great prog/krautrock with interesting female vocals.
Inquisition 2014-02-22 Chemnitz - not the best live recording, but I had no problems with it.
Grateful Dead 2014 subscription disc 1969-12-11 partial show - fantastic.
Comsat Angels - Sleep No More 1981 - I really like the music a lot, but I do not care for his vocals much. The songs feel longer than they are because they weave ideas so well. Great 80s psychedelia, too. I haven't found the BBC session yet.
Comsat Angels - Waiting for a Miracle 1980 - not very intersting at all - unless listening for historical reference, I'd see no reason to listen to this again - contains an EP, the demo, and some outtakes.
Niyaz - Nine Heavens 2CD 2008
Two discs, each with the same songs. One is contemporary with electronics, etc. The second is all acoustic. If you're interested in the Toward the Within vibe; heavy on percussion and an improvised feel, the acoustic disc is highly recommended. They're both top shelf, but I tend to listen to the acoustic more often. 13th and 18th century traditionals arranged with both electronic elements and then with all acoustic instruments. I'm surprised more DCD fans haven't taken to Niyaz and her.
