@nessisonett I already knew the first two, less familiar with the second two, agree 100% that those are his two masterpieces. Ascension features Pharaoh Sanders, does it not?

@nessisonett Speaking of Pharaoh Sanders......

What do you think?

@TheBrandedSwordsman I absolutely loved Promises. Cool to see it up for the Mercury and it somewhat makes the other entries look pedestrian in comparison.

@nessisonett Yeah definitely, it's great that Pharaoh Sanders is still working to release material such as that, when many musicians his age are already long-retired.

@TheBrandedSwordsman If by long-retired you mean dead then sure 😂

@nessisonett 😂

@mookysam interesting. The ear thing. Otosclerosis is what I came up with. Not to minimize what it's like to live with but yeah kinda fascinating as I've never heard of that. If it's any consolation my son had scoliosis so bad he had to have a spinal fusion surgery that was both the scariest thing I've ever had to deal with and the coolest procedure I've ever known anyone to have (in terms of what exactly goes into a spinal fusion). But anyway, hope the hearing aids help.

Never listened to anything in spatial audio. No music anyway. Sounds like it'd be atrocious. Unless the artist went in with that in mind, like you say. Something Trent Reznor would do. Or Imogen Heap.

And yeah I'm with a new isp that actually has data caps standard. There's definitely gonna be a period of adjustment for me.

Probably the crunchiest song ever recorded. And also the reason that I believe that lo-fi production can add to a song. And by lo-fi, I don’t mean a student with a trust fund whining about how daddy doesn’t love them into GarageBand.

Former Slipknot drummer Joey Jordison died at 46.
I can’t say I was a big fan (in fact I prefer Slipknot’s albums he didn’t play on) but it’s shocking news nonetheless. So young 😧

@Voltan far, far too young...I know a few drummers who hold him in incredibly high regard, his impact is undeniable. Strength to his loved ones 💪

@Voltan @Jimmer-jammer R.I.P Joey Jordison. My former band covered (sic) or the song that comes directly after that on the first album, I forget if (sic) is title of that song or just the intro that comes before it, nevermind, I think our drummer did a great job on that one anyway, and it was great fun learning the guitar riffs, our vocalist didn't do too badly either! all-in-all, a successful cover, and he will be a much-missed legend.

@nessisonett @Voltan @Jimmer-jammer @render This is what I have been listening to today, after I heard a couple of songs from it on last night's Confidential show (Iggy Pop on 6music) In case the link doesn't work search Youtube for Delta Kream by The Black Keys - that's the title of the album.Tell me what you think?

@TheBrandedSwordsman effectively covering a Slipknot song is no small order (especially older stuff) so congrats on that! I can’t see the video for whatever reason but I do like Iggy Pop quite a bit. I saw an interesting film a few years ago called ‘Coffee and Cigarettes” in which Iggy had a part in. It is essentially a collection of short films revolving somewhat around coffee and cigarettes. Worth a watch if you’re ever in the mood for something a little different.

@Jimmer-jammer I'll check that out - the album is called Delta Kream and is by The Black Keys. If you search on Youtube for it and have a listen, let me know what you think!

Also thanks for the comment on the cover, I didn't find the guitar parts too challenging but I was in a traditional melodic death metal band prior to that so I'm sure that had something to do with my ability to play that song.

@TheBrandedSwordsman I quite like The Black Keys but don’t think I’ve heard that album. Thanks!

Edit: just to add to that, if you’re enjoying ‘The Black Keys’, ‘The Harpoonist and the Axe Murderer’ are in the same vein and might be worth checking out.

Hello. I wrote this

I’m also playing keys in it and singing some harmonies but unfortunately couldn’t be in the video

@Voltan sweet, man! I worked on a short film once about “the crossroads” in which we tied the 27 club into the narrative. Anyways, nice track. Rock on 🤘

@Voltan Awesome tune!! Can't believe you didn't make the video.

@render Unfortunately the distance mattered this time 🤷‍♂️

Kinda funny to see British Sea Power rebrand as Sea Power due to the connotations associated with ‘British’ these days. At least there probably won’t be a GB News meltdown over it given the crossover potential between Farage and BBC 6Music is rather slim.
