Music

HAAi - Can't Stand To Lose

Arooj Aftab - Raat Ki Rani

Matthew Halsall - Mountains, Trees and Seas

Björk - fossora

Try as I might I cannot listen to a recent(ish) Björk album all the way through. I see the reviews giving thumbs up, and it makes me double check my own assumptions.

fossora (note the lowercase ‘f’!) has not changed this opinion.

Looking at the albums I have (not all of them) I enjoyed until Vespertine, in 2001. And then something changed. Volta, Vulnicura and fossora all come from the same place.

Chris Forsyth - Evolution Here We Come /// All Time Present

Lately been listening to Chris Forsyth, “Evolution Here we come” and “All Time Present” (which I ordered from Bandcamp). Pretty varied from track to track, and each of them is engaging and no impulse to switch songs. Some are long, some are short, a few have vocals, and many are very “prog rock” (which in this context is a good thing).

Particularly All Time Present sounds more like you’re attending a small intimate concert than lounging on your sofa; it grabs your attention and suddenly you’re tapping along.
