Scat-O-Logy

Scat-O-Logy, did you get the silver or white cover of Sources Of Power From Another World?  Not that it really matters, but you didn't see either pressing pop very often prior to Discogs.  Strange album to have more than a single pressing.
I got the one with silver cover. Ordered bunch of stuff from Silentes who has always been very trustworthy seller and when I was ready to pay, I decided to check his selection once more, spotted that record and grabbed it immediately. So happy that I purchased it, can't think of anyone who would sell it for 20€ (shipped).

Gore Beyond Necropsy - Demo #1 I Recommend You... AMPUTATION! (1992) - thank goodness for those who rip their shit - sorry I sold almost all my Japanese demos when I had a distro; missing that feel a lot the last few years.
Wellington - discography (2000)
Unruh - Misery Strengthened Faith (1997) - for my money, maybe the only band that could give His Hero is Gone a run for their money, and Ryan Butler was one of my favorite HC guitarists of the 90s.
Structure of Lies - demo 2002 - from just after the switch from Unruh, so they still sound more HC than death metal, which is not the case by the time they were on Deep Six.
Led Zeppelin - live shows because I ran into The Song Remains the Same movie, and I cannot get some of it out of my head.
Fire + Ice - Hollow Ways (1994) - the better of these two albums.
Fire + Ice - Gilded by the Sun (1992) - some surprising 80s indie rock tracks.

I only buy vinyl, d00ds.

Fire + Ice - Hollow Ways (1994)

Always was my favorite, sometimes fighting for the place with Birdking.

Sick Seed - Helsingin synagogat 7"

Title track is absolutely great, best SS track I have heard. Keep playing it over and over again. B-side is a bit more tougher one to swallow but neverthless good. This 7" really took me by surprise. Highly recommended!!

Since the deluxe vinyl reissue of Black One is just around the corner, I have been spinning a lot of Sunn O))) records. Last night listened to Dømkirke and today warmed my ears up with White1 before going to my all time favorite, Altar, which is a collaboration between Sunn O))) and Boris. Dømkirke and Altar are among my favorite records of all time but White1 have been left for lesser attention, mostly because I haven't been able to buy the vinyl version yet. I was seriously turned off by the drum machine on The Gates Of Ballard but other than that it was quite good. Not amongst my favorites but still very good and entertaining album. The closer of White1, A Shaving Of The Horn That Speared You, is seriously amazing track, really enjoyed that one. Should spin Monoliths & Dimensions soon. That one is also amongst my all time favorites, hah. Sunn O))) simply is awesome!

Now spinning: Earth - The Bees Made Honey In The Lion's Skull

I always thought Earth wasn't nothing too important but their discography from 2005 onwards is really interesting and please, don't get me wrong, Earth 2 & Phase 3 are definite classics and really powerful albums but not just for me. Just like the back discography of Sunn O))), it doesn't really do much for me. It's nice to blast them from huge speakers but they aren't something I would play that frequently.

Playing in my office at the moment... Salt Marie Celeste by Nurse With Wound.

I don't listen to Sunn O))) as frequently these days but I still thoroughly enjoy them when I do. They are reliable, when I want to hear a very certain thing.

Earth are very good too, though my interest waned the more "desert"-y they got.

In the dying days of summer with the excellent weather still intact I enjoy ULVER - Shadows of the Sun. Still their best album in my opinion. Lazy days...

I was kinda disappointed by "Rehearsal Demo Nov 11 2011" which sounded pretty much like their older stuff. After albums such as "Altar" and "Monoliths" I was expecting something more even though it was just a rehearsal demo.

Yeah, I must admit being a little turned-off by the "western feel" in their sound but composition-wise I can't but worship the band even though they started to pretty much repeat themselves on their "Angels Of Darkness, Demons Of Light" series. There are some really nice atmospheres and cool vibes in their sound that I find very fascinating. Don't own any of their records yet but have been thinking about ordering a few when my financial situation allows.

In the dying days of summer with the excellent weather still intact I enjoy ULVER - Shadows of the Sun. Still their best album in my opinion. Lazy days...

Always loved that album but for me it always felt like the sound wasn't right. Their latest effort, "Messe I​.​X​-​VI​.​X", on the other hand has very good sound quality but lacks composition wise. The opener is kinda nice 12min pure classical piece and I absolutely loved "Glamour Box" but other than that it was quite dull album. Maybe it needs a few more spins, can't tell... How about you guys, what did you think about the new Ulver album? Would really appreciate some comments because I don't know if it's just me and my high expectations or does the album really suck?

Now playing: SUNN O))) meets NURSE WITH WOUND - The Iron Soul Of Nothing

This album never really opened to me because when I listen to Sunn O))), I want something loud and heavy with the touch of something beautiful, yet haunting. This album is leaning more towards ambient soundscapes and not just that but to boring ambient soundscapes. Sunn O))) and NWW are both UNIQUE bands yet this sounds like it could be made by any kid with his MIDI keyboard. I haven't purchased the album yet but I have decided to give it one last chance and finally order it. Hopefully I'll enjoy it more on wax.

Last I Heard from Ulver was Wars of the Roses which I also really liked. Will catch up on the rest soon.

I thought SUNN were excellent until they decided to go jazz art bollocks. It ends somewhere after Black One for me. Them and NWW...I can only imagine what an art wanque excursion that would be. Pass!

ditto.  "black one" is a masterpiece; to me, it's THE sunn 0))) album-- the albums before it were just them "warming up", so to speak..  they peaked with "black one".  it's all been relatively uninteresting/rehashed crap ever since.

I wish they'd persued Black One further into the abyss but they wanted art, horn sections and other boring crap. I can respect the decision but I've left the vessel.

ULVER - Wars of the Roses

Better than last time I listened. Much better. Actually very good. Possibly excellent. It only lets itself down on the last track with a very wooden narrative by their most recent member. The guy from the impressively boring Guapo. His name escapes me. They should have picked David Attenborough or someone with a bit more fire in his voice for the narration. Brian Blessed perhaps.
