Wax Treasure (Vinyl)

[SKT]

@Inorganic well they sounded great for about 5 minutes then I got some god awful humming and popping. I’m not in too great of shape to track down the problem but will in the morning. But for those 5 minutes they were clear and l o u d

Can also confirm brown liquor does not pair well with trouble shooting audio gear issues

@GraemeE ha! Truth

@Aetas oh boy, down the rabbit hole you go ...

I'm gonna put Poly on now, haven't heard it full for a while!

[T4920]

@Aetas fun fact about Polygondwalaland: It was released under a creative commons licence, meaning that the public are free to create and distribute their own versions of the record.

There are a truckload of cool bootlegs out there for those interested in owning it on Vinyl.

It’s so damn hot and sunny outside but I’m just gonna keep pretending it’s fall.

[GraemeE]

It's that time of year again when the leaves change color and shoegaze gets more play than usual

[prpx]

@GraemeE - love that record

[prpx]

[GraemeE]

@prpx that's a great one as well

[popvulture]

Ooh love some BC

[GraemeE]

Similar fall vibes in my opinion

[GraemeE]

@popvulture bold Scott choice with climate of hunter

Also didn't see your post at first so I wasn't intentionally rubbing in the fact that the pacific northwest is cool and grey at the moment

@GraemeE it’s actually one of my faves of his. I’m a sucker for some 80s production. Granted sometimes it can be awful, but here it just works for me. Maybe I have an irrational love of fretless bass?

I was listening to a podcast recently and learned that apparently before he recorded this, he went out and bought all of the top ten records at the time because he had no idea what the musical zeitgeist was. Kinda amazing and hilarious.

[GraemeE]

@popvulture even though he tends to lose me after the mid 70s I wholeheartedly support his subsequent works.

I think maybe it was tilt? where he recorded someone slapping a side of beef to represent the execution of mussolini - glorious weirdness

[popvulture]

@GraemeE oh yep that’s on the Drift! So wonderfully weird. I remember the first time I heard that record and having no idea what I was getting into. One of the few times I can remember finding music genuinely terrifying.

[GraemeE]

Continuing fall vibes

This is still the only one of their albums I have

@Aetas or any other Germans have recomendations for which Bohren I should look for next?

[Aetas]

For me, it would be ‚Sunset Mission‘ @GraemeE

Hidden gem

PS I don’t know Bohren — le scoop?
