Enjoying this Slow Burners playlist. Really like the Fishmans track/album(!), never come across them before and feels like a great discovery.

@jerkules wait until you the live version of LONG SEASON.

Lights off, eyes closed (and a touch of chemical enhancement if you're that way inclined) and it'll take you on an obsolete odyssey.

In fact the whole live show where it was recorded is essential listening, it's my favourite background music for a chilled vibe.

@jerkules Same here - entirely new to me
I dig

[Tago Mago]

My downvote for Layla is solely based on Clapton being famous for 30 years when his unplugged album was released. That and also Layla is one of his signature songs imo

[SKT]

Enjoyed that playlist guys. Time constraints, however, are gonna force me to bow out of this for now. Have fun leaguers!

[Matt]

I think same here. It’s moving a bit fast for me. Have fun everyone!

[ARNC]

@skt @Matt we’ll miss your contributions. I’ll try to keep up for as long as I can – should be easier with slightly shorter playlists

[jerkules]

@T4920 nice one man it’s really good stuff! And does NOT sound nearly 30 years old…

[chrisjohnnick]

ha think I misunderstood the "slowburn" category. oh well. on to the next round!

[GraemeE]

@chrisjohnnick I know that clapton bashing Is all the rage these days but I honestly don't mind him (the music that is, his beliefs maybe not so much...)

I just had to choose 1 down vote and since he stole george harrisons love interest back in the day I had to go with him

[T4920]

Awesome to see Sunn O))) make the playlist. I've been trying to find the right time to submit Between Slepnir's Breaths from Life Metal, but the right moment hasn't arisen yet... Almost was a 'guilty pleasure' in the last league, but I realized I have no guilt about loving drone metal (but maybe a little guilt about forcing my ex to listen to it as 'relaxing bedtime music'...)

[GraemeE]

@T4920 I mean this in a good natured way (giving you shit) but do you see any correlation between the "ex" status of that relationship and playing drone metal as relaxing bedtime music??

[T4920]

@GraemeE quite possibly, but I have no regrets.

[GraemeE]

@T4920 nor should you

[T4920]

@GraemeE all seriousness though, I stand by the fact that low frequencies and sub bass helps me sleep, I'll play Life Metal at low volume regularly if in ever struggling to drift off. Pryoclasts too, even more drone-cebtric!

[jerkules]

Totally with you @T4920 a lot of people nowadays listen to white/grey/pink/brown noise to help them fall asleep. I’ve also relied on Sunn O))) many times to drift off (but usually rely on earphones to preserve my marriage).

[GraemeE]

@T4920 I get it - my youngest 2 have a sound machine in their room for bedtime with low frequency ocean sounds and such

[T4920]

@jerkules great minds think alike with black midi! Honestly they're my favourite band of all time, and Marlene is just magical... I've seen them live 5 times and they've never played it though...

[jerkules]

@T4920 lots of crossover in music taste which is always great to find. And yeah Marlene is a really special song, gives me the chills at the “my shuddering neighbour…” part. Never seen them live, much to my shame…

[T4920]

@jerkules I'll holla next time I see them in London!
