MIND BLOWN!
Happy new year! Happy new decade! 2019 was a load of shit for me, but not as bad as 2018. Here's hoping 2020 vision will restore some sort of meaning to the world. But at least there was a SHIT TON of amazing musix to be had, so...
Here it is! The Spacerock Continuum Top Ten of 2020:
Tool 'Fear Inoculum'
Is Bliss 'Strange Communication'
Black Mountain 'Destroyer'
The Spiral Electric s/t
American Football '3'
The Claypool Lennon Delirium 'South Of Reality'
Highlands 'Wish You Were'
Ride 'This Is Not A Safe Place'
Black Midi 'Schlagenheim'
Jay Som 'Anak Ko'
I've chosen 65 songs for the annual best of 2019 playlists, divided into two THREE HOUR sets for easier digestion. Songs from the albums above appear in one or the other playlist, and this is the first, for January 2020. Most of it fits the niches of psychedelic, experiMENTAL, kraut rock, post rock, stoner rock, shoegaze, dream pop etc., all under the blanket term SPACE ROCK. And, as is my wont, I included plenty of the just plain WEIRD noisy avant garde shit (witness the last three albums above, but there's MORE!), just to keep you on your toes and your head in SPACE.
DIG IT! And see you next month for Part 2!
