#albumshuffle Day 393: Amon Düül II - Phallus Dei [Liberty, 1969]

Classic heavy psychedelic album that's pretty far out. Lengthy jams with diversions into tribal drumming, dissonant electroacoustic experiments and dark folk. The vocals vacillate between the operatic and ridiculous.

#albumshuffle Day 392: Plinth - Wintersongs [Dorset Paeans, 2001]

A suite of winter compositions, fusing ambient soundscapes with pastoral folk. Lo-fi music box melodies, glockenspeil with dreamy guitar, piano and the drone of a melodica. Dreamy atmosphere, if a tad melancholic.

#albumshuffle Day 391: Ground Zero - Null & Void [Tzadik, 1995]

Second album from Otomo Yoshihide's amorphous genre bending band. Driving noisy rock improvisations; halting sound collages of japanse & chinese radio, martial music, tv & film; dub; ambient soundtrack work and free jazz experiments.

#albumshuffle Day 390: The West African Instrumental Quintet - 1929 [Heritage, 1992]

Every extant recording of a string band for which there is zero biographical information. Among the first wave of commercial West African records on the Zonophone label recorded in Hayes, England in the 20s.

#albumshuffle Day 389: Yuka Ijichi - How To Make Paper Clay [Selection Records, 2018]

A collection of gentle songs with a simple piano accompaniment. You can hear every slightest movement and breath. Very much in the vein of Reiko Kudo. Delicate and pretty.

#albumshuffle Day 388: Leon Thomas - Full Circle [Flying Dutchman, 1973]

Jazz singer Leon Thomas' last album for Flying Dutchman. It's pretty decent. He takes more commercial orientation with a mix of r&b songs with soul-inflected vocals and a couple more substantial jazzy pieces.

Finally, somebody on soulseek appeared with a copy of Tiny Tim's Unplugged album. Been on the discogs wishlist for a year.

Back on the Doom stuff, returning to the Cacoward winning Blues Brothers 2025. I started it last month before life got in the way.

Love the snark-like gorefriends and the nuances to maximising their utility in locking down specific areas and lifespan. They're also extremely cute, which is a must.

#albumshuffle Day 387: Ki - Tearful Face Of My Cute Love (Is Begging To Me) [An'archives, 2022]

Chaotic improvisation from the trio of Saxophonist Tamio Shiraishi, co-founder of Fushitsusha; Takahashi Michiko from the No-Neck Blues Band percussionist Fritz Welch.

I remember first getting into these fellas through the mix tapes that Frank Gossner would make for his legendary Voodoo Funk blog around 2006-7. The thrill of hearing all this unearthed jewels floating on a sea of surface noise. Those were the days.

#albumshuffle Day 386: Orchestre Poly-Rythmo de Cotonou - Volume 1: The Vodoun Effect - Funk & Sato from Benin’s Obscure Labels 1972–1975 [Analog Africa, 2008]

Wonderful slabs of funk and vodoun sounds from one of the most prolific bands in Benin. Extremely funky, joyous stuff. Sounds like a party.

#albumshuffle Day 385: Nobuo Yamada - Vase Echoes [ABH, 2004]

Sound artist from Japan sticks a microphone inside a vase and makes recordings from various locales including a roadside, on the back of a motorcycle, hanging from the roof of a shop and in a sink under a running tap.

Some great stuff this year. I am ashamed to say I've still not played Gossip (or quite a few of the other picks listed for that matter) but Lonesome Road, Blues Brothers 2025 and of course, Lemoncholia were real fun.

#albumshuffle Day 384: Aube - Stratodive [Bandaged Hand Produce, 1996]

The single source used for this Aube cassette is a voltage controlled oscillator. With a bit of processing and overdubbing the end result is a howling wall of noise that's similar to standing outside in a strong gale.
