Damn I can’t believe we’re back to Friday again already. I need this weekend to shut off my email and focus on chillin’ with customers at the shop, that’s for sure. Adam’s picks for the week LET’S GO…
NEW JAMS (got a couple this week!)
Nine inch Nails “Tron Ares” soundtrack! The bulk of this album is actually a lot of cool atmospheric electronica stuff and it’s really sick. The big singles that are more standard composition with vocals are cool of course. Go into it expecting a cool soundtrack/score, not a traditional NIN album, and you’ll dig it.
Paradise Lost “Ascension.” After emerging as one of the founders of the doom death scene PL return In their 35th year(!!!!) with a powerful new record. It’s amazing to hear one of the originals return with a record this solid after all this time. An hour of suffering!
REISH
Oh my god this ASHRA reissue is incredible! “New Age of Earth” was originally released in 1977 and is effectively a Manuel Göttsching solo album (hence the lack of Tempel). Wonderful Ambient/New age-y stuff. Some of my favorite Göttsching material. HIGHEST RECOMMENDATIONS.
The Litter “Distortions” is finally officially reissued! 60s Garage/Psych legends. Reissued by Sundazed!

Atmosphere “Jestures”
Sarah McLachlan “Better Broken”
