>
>*Phish ~ Farmhouse - They made this album for people who love albums.  Some

>over six minutes.
>
>*Luna ~ The Days of Our Nights - Very melodic guitar rock.  Perhaps their

>*Belle and Sebastian ~ Fold your hands child, You walk like a Peasant -
>Another good album from this hard working band.  They try some things with
>vocals and fall a little short.  Besides that, it's a worthy listen.  They
>sound like a modern day Nick Drake to me.  Just not quite as depressing.
>
>*Nick Drake - Way To Blue (an introduction to Nick Drake) -  This is a
great
>compilation of some of Drake's best songs.  He amazes me with what he can
do
>with an acoustic guitar.  And he has the voice of an angel.  I couldn't
>imagine that there's an OTR fan who wouldn't love Nick Drake.
>
>*Galactic ~ Late for the Future - Some funky jazz from the heart of New
>Orleans.  The guitarist steps up some on this one and they experiment a
>little as a band.  And man, they are something live.
>
>*Madeski, Martin, and Wood ~ Tonic - Free form acoustic jazz at it's best.
>Recorded live at New York's Tonic.
>
>*XTC ~ Wasp Star (Apple Venus Vol. 2) - I'm curious as to how people are
>going to react to this album.  It's more polished than any of their
previous
>efforts.  But I like this album.  Some really catchy tunes.
>
>*The Catherine Wheel ~ Wishville - This is one highly produced guitar
driven
>album.  I really dig their strong harmonies with his Peter Gabrielesque
>voice.  Probably not as strong as "Adam and Eve", but more consistent.

>
>I'm gonna pick up the new Ozric Tentacles that comes out Tuesday.  They've
>never let me down before.

>That's all for now.  I hope someone can find a treasure here as I have
>before from you.

>>what is everybody listening to lately?  i don't have much OtR-related
stuff
>>to share other than the OtR gig at Canal Street in Dayton on Friday is
>>gonna be cool... geez, it's been 6 months since the last time i saw OtR
>>(that's a long gap compared to 1998-1999)...
>>
>>well, i haven't bought much new music this year...yet.  so i decided to
>>binge today... border's books & music is a bad place for me to be.  a VERY
>>bad place.
>>
>>--> ON - SHIFTING SKIN : techno, keyboard pop.  reminds me of kevin moore/
>>chroma key (whom i adore so much).  in fact, i heard of ON (aka ken
>>andrews) after i heard that kevin moore toured with him/them in the recent
>>past months...  a little bit more poppy than chroma key, btw.
>>
>>--> CALIFORNIA GUITAR TRIO - ROCKS THE WEST : really cool guitar
>>instrumental stuff.  i had heard some of their other stuff on a discipline
>>music group sampler that i got with a king crimson cd.  CGT has some very
>>nice textures.  tony levin also guests on some tracks.  i bet Chris Emery
>>and Rick C would dig this cd a ton...
>>
>>--> PLANET X - UNIVERSE : i haven't listened to this yet.  i saw it on the
>>shelf, and just had to buy it, though.  it's derek sherinian
>>(keyboardmeister who had a 4 year stint w/ dream theater after kevin moore
>>left and before jordan rudess took over).  anyhow, planet x is his new
>>L.A.-based jazz-fusion, instrumental outfit.  i liked their first one a
>>lot; so i didn't really have to think too long about picking this one
up...
>>
>>--> BT - MOVEMENT IN STILL LIFE : techno, house, whatnot.  lately i've
been
>>getting into the whole d.j. thing.  i don't know what's getting into me.
i
>>normally can't distinguish the different styles in the whole "club"
>>scene... this might be what people call a progressive dance cd, i don't
>>know.  i first heard of bt when he did a remix single with the ever-lovely
>>tori amos (who's better than alanis, btw, Brucie).
>>
>>--> GALACTIC COWBOYS - LET IT GO : their final cd for a while.  haitus, or
>>something.  new musical ventures, mumbo-jumbo.  solo-albums, perhaps.
>>maybe getting back together later down the road.  whatever.  the 7th and
>>final cd by this houston rock band is a good one...
>>
>>also this week...
>>
>>--> DJ SPOOKY - RIDDIM WARFARE : cool d.j. cd... scratching and some cool
>>sound effects.  plus good rap.  it's like all of the good beastie boys
>>songs, but with rappers who aren't white, and don't sound like they're
>>white. :)
>>
>>--> FATBOY SLIM - YOU'VE COME A LONG WAY, BABY : i bought it used.  other
>>than "praise you" (which i hate), this is a pretty cool cd.
>>
>>--> BUSTA RHYMES - E.L.E. : busta is the man...
>>
>>--> MOURNING WIDOWS - FURNISHED SOULS FOR RENT : serious wallet gouging
>>going on with this cd, just like the last mourning widows cd.  it's on the
>>japanese polydor label, only.  i can only get it from a japanese cd store
>>online.  28,000 yen or something... like $40US after it's all said and
>>done.  but the last one was well worth it, so i figured i'm gonna do the
>>same for this one.  i'll pay anything for a cd by nuno bettencourt... :)
>>
>>--> CHROMA KEY - YOU GO NOW : this is gonna be my favorite cd of 2000,
>>hands down.  the new OtR might come in a close second (or third, depending
>>on my diggescence of the mourning widows cd above).  i'm hoping this pops
>>in my mailbox soon... kevin's 1998 cd was my fav cd of 1998.  his 1999 cd
>>was my fav of 1999.  i've heard 8-9 song clips of the new one.  i love it
>>already just based on soundclips.  chroma key is like the piano of tori,
>>the moodiness of pink floyd, the artsy-new wave cool-techno-saavy of peter
>>gabriel, the avante-garde of a david bowie meets radiohead.  chroma key is
>>a band that i'll never get sick of... http://www.chromakey.com/
>>
>>--> BILL MALLONEE and the VIGILANTES OF LOVE - AUDIBLE SIGH (v. 3.0) :
this
>>is the third issue of this cd... it includes a special EP entitled "Room
>>Despair."  that's a cool title, i must say.  nice play on words.  this'll
>>complete my VoL collection with room to spare... :)
>>
>>--> PETER MULVEY - DEEP BLUE and RAPTURE : both scored used on an ebay
>>auction.  cool stuff.  i love his newest, "The Trouble w/ Poets."  these
>>two are really good also...
>>
>>anyway, i think that'll hold me over for a few... so, what stuff has
>>anybody out there gotten lately?  anything good, gripping, and worthwhile?
