I think it is Bandcamp Friday when this comes out. I hope so. Last time I mentioned Bandcamp Friday in post it was only month of the year when there wasn’t Bandcamp Friday. Speaking of Bandcamp I start to put Bandcamp links in this list for albums I got from Bandcamp. Saves me time to search for the videos and helps you finding and buying the album from Bandcamp. I assume some of the albums don’t have videos.
Before getting any further this list doesn’t albums I have mentioned in previous post. Hiemis good. Kuutanic good. Rivers of Nihil good. Archspire good. We Butter the Bread with Butter good. Now we can move on.
Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe: Candyman
It has been a while since I bought movie soundtracks. I got few good ones during these two months. First is Candyman soundtrack. Haven’t seen the movie and not going to. There was Bandcamp post about album which made me check it. Weird interesting electronic music from horror movie.
Halloween Kills OST
Another horror movie soundtrack from movie I am not going to see. If you like John Carpenter’s soundtrack music this is as good as it gets. His soundtrack for previous Halloween movie is also good.
The Art and Soul of Dune Official Soundtrack
Latest Dune movie got three soundtracks. Real one, sketch version and one for companion book. I got all of them. I think one for companion book is best of them. Sketch version have tracks with themes which have moments of silence between them. Soundtrack is made to work with moving pictures. Companion book music is best one for background music. Even when I bought all three albums I think there could have been better artists for this kind of music. But Hans Zimmer wanted to do this and he has done some good soundtracks.
Planet Supreme: Creation of a Star
When I said I could think better artist for Dune soundtrack than Hans Zimmer most of them release music on Cryo Chamber. If they make God Emperor of Dune movie they should ask Cryo Chamber collaboration to make music for it. I don’t have much to say about Planet Supreme. This album is just album I like.
Beyond the Ghost: The Desolation Age
Another Cryo Chamber release I just like. Don’t know much about the artist. If you listened Dune video and these two albums don’t you think these two do the other worldly sound better?
The Bridge City Sinners: Unholy Hymns
I had hard time waiting for next Bandcamp Friday after I learned about The Bridge City Sinners. They have excellent videos but I got this Bandcamp so Bandcamp link. Gothic americana with punk attitude. Found them when I was looking for similar bands to…
Heathen Apostles: Bloodgrass Vol. 3 EP
Gothic americana with little less punk attitude. It has been a while since Heathen Apostles released full length album. Releasing first two Bloodgrass EPs as one album doesn’t count. But at least we get new music every now and then.
Enji: Ursgal
I might be weird but I get Blade Runner & Cowboy Bebop feeling from this album. Found this when saw Bandcamp post about the album. If I remember correctly these songs tell about her life as outsider in big city. That is what Blade Runner and Cowboy Bebop tell about. I guess jazz and subject matter connects this to those.
Wytch: Exordium
I might have mentioned Cryo Chamber before. Ripple Music could became similar label for stoner and doom for me. I am trying to limit my music purchases. I had hard time doing that when I checked few albums from the label. Everything just seemed to work. Wytch is good example.
Steve Von Till: A Life Unto Itself
Went to check this because this was name your price record for one week. Steve Von Till is member of Neurosis. I like the band but have never checked his solo material. Based on this album that has been mistake. Man and guitar with some supporting instruments giving weird feeling. Loving it.
Lana Del Rey: Blue Banisters
I usually limit these lists to ten entries. This time I have to go to eleven. Blue Banisters is Lana Del Ray’s second album of 2021. I remember waiting for new Lana Del Rey album for ages. Now we have got three albums in relatively short time. Both 2021 albums have songs which could have been easily dropped but both are mostly solid albums with some really good songs.
That was it for this time. I had to drop Kadavar, Lucifer, Heldom and many Ripple Music artists from list. I think two months was too long period for the list this time.
