The Power of Zeus - The Gospel According to... 1970 - hard/heavy rock that I could not have appreciated to its fullest when I was younger - some cheesy moments, but a solid listen nevertheless - very good album that is both loyal to its thesis and to traveling distances.
Ashra - Blackouts 1978 - krautrock - a so-so album for most artists, and a weak album for Manuel Gottsching, though the final track, "Lotus Parts I-IV", is some quality cosmic psychedelia and close to vintage Gottsching - recommended for that track alone.
Ashra - Dream & Desire 1990 - krautrock - 3 tracks over 62 minutes - starts off strong with the 30-minute floating and traveling "Dream" - this guy can revisit high-quality cosmic guitar and electronic improvisation anytime he feels like it, so it isn't one of those cases when the artist just loses their mojo - pretty impressive stuff.
Tom Recchion - I Love My Organ 2004 - LAFMS - this really sucked me in - witty and playful and really engaging.
Bill Withers - Making Music 1975 - feels like he's really trying to relive his past hit formula, but without much success insofar as it all feels like an imitation of himself - kind of weird - felt like skipping every track, and then it was over.
Bill Withers - Naked & Warm 1976 - mellow album - nothing of note, but not a bad listen - eh.
Bill Withers - Menagerie 1977
Klaus Schulze - Picture Music 1975 - didn't care for this a whole lot in the past, but I really, really enjoyed it this time - usually prefer Black Dance, but it was the opposite this go.
Klaus Schulze - Mirage 1977 - don't remember it being this dark - great listen.
Klaus Schulze - Black Dance 1974
November Novelet - Heart of Stone 2012
Maska Genetik - Strada 2011
Moebius - Kram 2009
V/A Holy Mother Russia 2004 - solid comp, but Lunar Abyss Quartet is the one I'll investigate further.
