No luck around

Even when it's bad it's good to be alive.

The 90's were sweet in retrospect.

      Talkin' bout that late 90's melodic post-rock. This band practically paved the way for Thursday (Although, respectfully, Full Collapse was a breakthrough album.) and bands of the like. Water and Solutions was released in 1998 and we haven't heard anything from Far until just last April with their latest full-length release: "At Night We Live", which happens to be an excellent record. Far's new and old sound is reminiscent of the prior decade. Basically this band focuses on driving rock rhythms and vocal melody. Decent aspirations.

Mother Mary.

Colloquial Corner.

"That dog will hunt."

Bored.

Nothing going on.

The struggle for balance.

U.N.K.L.E. dropped a new album last month. It hasn't been the highest in my rotation, although a couple of tracks, namely On A Wire and Joy Factory, have really been hitting the spot lately. This track has all the elements of the ambient techno I inexplicably love so much, but rocks in it's own right.

Seasonal Features

 So I stumbled across this Swedish electropop duo a few months back. Although I figured it worthy of adding to the library back then, in the last few weeks it has resurfaced as something I'm listening to multiple times a day. It's the type of music that isn't necessarily "feel good" but definitely provides a sense of positivity or maybe even ambiguity that has lately been my salve of choice. Something about their use of synthetic flute and world-drum polyrhythms gives it a care free feel, while their thoughtful use of ambient sounds, which are often soft-voiced females, have a wonderful soothing effect on my troubled mind as of late. Would be excellent driving music if they would release a full-length : \ but has been working great for me around the house when I just want to get out of my "I'm-pissed-because-I-woke-up-late-again-and-my-life-is-in-stasis" funk.
