Just here to say that this is the album of the year for me. I'm struggling to believe that what is going on on this album is not something I'm dreaming & maybe it is that too. But also something that is clearly part of the present awaken reality. Just...wow. budtapes.bandcamp.com/album/like-a...

Day 4 of 10 in a row at work. Can't believe I got this together. Explanations to follow or maybe not. Listen for free or pay what you can or want or whatever christinacarter.bandcamp.com/album/carrie...

Thanks a lot. Very honored!

New Edena Gardens album is out today. Stream it here or elsewhere: soundcloud.com/edenagardens...

Been living without internet at home for two weeks now & I can honestly say that I don't miss it. The days feel so much longer and I feel less urge to buy stuff. It also feels lonely of course, but spending a lot of time online does too. The realness of my life slowly starts to appear.

Another untitled album is up: nicklassorensen.bandcamp.com/album/untitl...

Turning 39 today. Feels okay so far. Weather is mixed, hot, but rain and thunder is coming soon. I made a little guitar piece for no one, everyone, someone and perhaps myself. nicklassorensen.bandcamp.com/album/untitl...

Some releases, artists & labels I think you should consider supporting on bandcamp friday: joncollin.bandcamp.com/album/live-0... budtapes.bandcamp.com/album/like-a... sunburnedhandoftheman.bandcamp.com/merch unifactor.bandcamp.com/album/maltha azurevistarecords.bandcamp.com/music

So this is apparently what you look like when you have just packed down your stereo and is somehow ready to move on and out, ready for a new beginning, a new phase in life ect.

Thanks a lot for the nice words!

Long awaited package from @flowerroom.bsky.social came in the mail the other day. 6 cassettes & 1 LP. Great stuff. Now listening to this "Lilac of the Valley".Blissful loops+Matt's inspired guitar playing on top-just what I needed in a period of feeling extremely far away from my own guitar playing.

Afternoon listening. Six Organs of Admittance - "School of the Flower" Yes, I already have this on CD & I usually don't buy albums on more than one format, but I suddenly saw this LP for a ridiculously cheap price & simply couldn't resist buying it.

New Papir album - "IX" arriving in fall 2025. Coming out on Stickman Records. More details soon.

Sometimes this is the only proper way of saying goodnight: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZzQe...

Music for a Thursday evening. Steve Tibbetts - "Life Of". One of the albums I listened to the most in 2018. Some of Tibbetts' later albums may sound boring/directionless on the first listen, but once you get beneath the surface,the music opens up in a slightly introspective and highly alluring way.

Afternoon listening.Mauve Sideshow - "Dark Flowers". Perhaps the strangest record in my collection. Not strange as in "just weird",but strange in a profound surreal way that has a dreamlike quality to it.Almost like Schoenberg making noir new age music.Soft, but subtly lunatic, intimate & spacious.

Haven't played guitar in nearly 3 weeks and I haven't been longing for it. Just had a weird thought of - if it weren't for concerts booked next month and albums coming up, I'm not sure I would be playing guitar for a long while. It's never been that far away in my mind/from my body before. Weird.

When I started diving into the Sab-discography years ago I realized like so many others that Sabbath had already made all the great guitar riffs. But what actually really hit me first was hearing Ozzy's singing on Sabbath Bloody Sabbath - it moved me in a way that rock singing rarely did/does. RIP.

Music for a Tuesday afternoon. I've been thinking about getting more into Holger Czukay's solo music lately. Besides "Movies" I've never really checked his solo stuff out. Love his collab-albums (and Can obviously) a lot though including this gem with Jah Wobble and The Edge.

Music for a Monday evening. Fripp & Eno - "Live In Paris 28.05.1975". Well, we all know that the studio work Fripp & Eno did together in the 1970s was and still is amazing and kind of ahead of it's time. That they were able to pull it off live and not giving a f*ck is pretty impressive too.

Evening listening. Harold Budd - "The Pavilion of Dreams". An early ambient classic and an all time favorite of mine. Somehow the perfect soundtrack for a summer evening, where it's too hot to move and you are forced to sit and just chill and dream away for a while.

Evening listening. Loren Connors & Jim O'Rourke - "Are You Going To Stop...In Bern?". The sounds/music on this record was, I believe, my first ever acquaintance with both Connors and O'Rourke. Also some of the first recorded improvised music I remember hearing.

Getting some strong Göttsching/Grosskopf-vibes from this track from the forthcoming Sam Prekop album: Really nice. samprekop.bandcamp.com/album/open-c...

Music for a late Tuesday afternoon. The king doing his thing.

Sounds for a late Monday afternoon. Flying Saucer Attack & Roy Montgomery - 'Goodbye / And Goodbye / The Whole Day'.

Why not start the day with "Ragas & Blues - Fantastic String Music" by Matt Valentine & Erika Elder?

I was just listening to On Land thinking that this track could easily sound like something from Biosphere's Substrata album or an even more recent/modern ambient release. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cznw...

Afternoon listening. I've been revisiting these two records lately. It's interesting, although I love Brian Eno for his ambient albums and views and philosophies on art/artists/music/ect. and it's role in society, I never connected 100% with his art-pop records from the 1970s.

It's been a while since I listened to this album. And yup, it still sounds pretty good.

Starting the Sunday with this great LP. I really like this album. Meditiative and peacefully circling around, it obiviosly buys into the whole hippie/pre-new age fascination of eastern philosophy, I mean look at the cover art...it literally screams 1968! In other words - hard not to like.

Two new albums out. Might be that last ones for some time. These are a bit different from the other ones, but you have listen (or read the album notes) to find out why. Oh, and thanks so far to those who have listened to (and bought) the other albums! nicklassorensen.bandcamp.com/album/untitl...

Spending some time on this very hot day with a new release from Houston trio Chrome Chasm. This is a pretty great listen. Raga inspired drone/underground improv transforming into a rather tranquil new agey territory - not far from the auditory excursions of the late great Ariel Kalma.

Here is another one: nicklassorensen.bandcamp.com/album/untitl...

Starting the day with this great CD. Easily the best ambient record I've heard this year. If you like well-crafted (ambient)music based on ideas of obvious timeless beauty, look no further. Perhaps the closest the duo has been to letting the elements unfold in a Steve Roach-like pace of deep time.

One thing that is interesting about putting out music yourself only based on your own individual initiative & motivation is how less ambitious, but still somehow exciting it feels. At least for me. It is probably due to the underlying process of it all, cause in a way it's about something else.

Starting the day with this splendid LP. Still one of my favorites from this year. It's hard to think of a duo that navigates more effortlessly and convincing through modern improv/ambient zones than Gunn - Truscinski Duo.

New album out. It's called 'Untitled 2'...still trying to figure out what it's all about. nicklassorensen.bandcamp.com/album/untitl...

Summer vacation listening. In a way Boards of Canada seem to embody the soundtrack for the summer vacations of my childhood. Not that I was aware of their music back then, but their music has this strange psychedelic quality - a potential of strecthing the now into eternity, that reminds me of

The new Heavy Lidders LP is pretty great. Perfect music for the start of the vacation. Stoned out jams and magical noodling as we know and like it.

Evening listening. Lungfish - 'Artificial Horizon'. This album was played the last time I was recording in the El Paraiso Records studio. I didn't know the album or the band, but the music immediately clicked with me and reminded me of a certain type of 1990s rock sound,

Music for a Wednesday evening. Flying Saucer Attack - 'In Search of Spaces'. While my favorite FSA albums are probably the self-titled and Further - albums that combine harsh shoegazy guitars with melodic sensibility and deep loopy ambiences,

Evening listening. Tape's "Rideau" from 2005. Still a fantastic album. The Swedish Gastr del Sol? Not quite, but they carried on and fullfilled some of distinctly melodic, well-considered experimental, gradually minimalist and compositionally ambitious potential of that late 90's post-rock.

Sunday zones. Don't think anyone has ever made a better guitar/synth/loop-record. The music realized by Fripp & Eno is somehow still ahead of our time. There's timeless beauty & soundwise mastery here, but also the opening of an auditive portal to something completely new, yet to be fully explored.

The band. Looks like it brings out some kind of weird confidence in me & confident weirdness in the other guys. Maybe it's the suede vest?Not min though. Being in a band is cool & hard work too. It's not about me & at the same time it is. Being in a band is about being in it (for over 20 years now).

Evening listening. Great new album by @sonofbuzzi.bsky.social.

Back on listening to Zappa again. Damn,FZ was a great guitar player. I mean we know that of course, but I can still get amazed by his playing & endless inventiveness, often just soloing over one or two chords. On this album he does pretty much only as the title says- "Shut Up 'n Play Yer Guitar".
