@Aetas great to find someone else into Efterklang on here. Great album and the live rendition was amazing (it featured Budgie as guest drummer). Probably the band I’ve seen most often and looking forward to seeing them again in October.

Also agree their album artwork is always top notch.

Picked up these 2 yesterday

I'm pretty sure @steelydan got this same release last year on RSD

This one is an oddball - sealed 1968 repress of what was originally released as a Cecil Taylor album until it was re-branded as Coltrane

Sealed in 1968 and left unopened till now @GraemeE ? What a find!

[GraemeE]

@Aetas I feel like I need to wait for a special occasion to open it.

Efterklang @ARNC !
Great you have seen them live with Piramida. Where have you seen them?

When I got father of three in 2008 there was a need for smooth music .
Was heavy into Nils Frahm with Felt and Spaces.
Not a long walk to explore Efterklang I guess…

But had this Piramida only on Cd until I was in Oslo (Norway) for a few hours a week ago.
Long story short, I had some time left.
Visited the National Museum and there was an announcement for an upcoming concert of Efterklang in the Munch Museum Oslo in December 2024.
Left the Museum and googled the next record shop in walk distance. Found what I searched for and was happy as ****!

Wish I had more time for Oslo and Norway!

This needs definitely the best occasion you can think of @GraemeE !!!!
Please post an essay about your first hear ;-).

@Aetas I first saw them in Hyde Park back in 2010 (Magic Chairs era) as part of the Serpentine Sessions and saw the Piramida tour at Warwick Arts Centre (a great out of London venue). Last saw them at the Barbican on 29 February 2020 just before you know what happened. Another one was cancelled, so October will be long overdue.

Worth seeing live if you can as the atmosphere is very special. They often try to involve local musicians in the show - last time they assembled a scratch choir to join them for some songs.

Upcoming Tour Efterklang …Feel Tempted!

@GraemeE How’s it sound? Solid band there but I’ve never been a fan of SS pressings

[GraemeE]

@J-IV good question.
I haven't cut the plastic yet but when I do ill give a report

now spinning

[68degreesorless]

Yall got me hooked on these obis so now I’ve broken down and bought plastic outer sleeves to protect the record cases. Not doing a big project at once but just slipping them on as I listen. Next, the records will be sleeping in my bed while I stay out here in the music room using my jeans as a pillow. “Sick pillow fades bruh ”

[GraemeE]

@68degreesorless personally the idea of a big project putting covers on all of them at once sounds super satisfying....that is if you don't have small humans distracting you every 90 seconds

Glad to know I’m not the only one around here who is willing to make sacrifices for uniformity and longevity

late 80s/90s BN

(I know Empyrian Isles and Speak Like a Child are older, but I got them then.)

[Aetas]

Cool set @endo !
Herbie H. is so much more than Rockit!

[J-IV]

@endo Those are solid! Ike’s record is the perfect late night, rainy weather, whisky sipper of an album. And Empyrean Isle is on my top of coolest BN album covers

The foil and velvet cover edition. Such a great album.
@mclaincausey did you get Ty Segall tix for the Gothic?
