I bought that on vinyl some time ago. Great album.

Vinyl's probably worth a bit now too I would assume.

[hellboy]

Yeah, I expect it's worth at least $30

Maybe, posting a price on Ebay is one thing, actually getting someone to pay it is entirely another. Anyway, good luck with it!

Interesting year in music. Some general thoughts...

The new Meshuggah was terribly disappointing. They really need to go back to their normal machine like perfection when it comes to their recording approach. The new album simply doesn't sound good. Way too muddy not to mention some of the execution is a bit sloppy for a band of that caliber. Clockworks was the only real mind bender on The Violent Sleep of Reason.

Blown away by how good the new Opeth is. At first I had reservations but when you hear all the songs together they flow beautifully. Sorceress is a masterfully executed piece of work.

Top 15 albums of 2016:

1. Opeth - Sorceress
2. The Dillinger Escape Plan - Dissociation
3. Swans - The Glowing Man
4. Russian Circles - Guidance
5. Aesop Rock - The Impossible Kid
6. Deftones - Gore
7. Animals as Leaders - The Madness of Many
8. Mogwai - Atomic
9. Sumac - What One Becomes
10. Gojira - Magma
11. Cult of Luna & Julie Christmas - Mariner
12. Tim Hecker - Love Streams
13. Conan - Revengeance
14. Bossk - Audio Noir
15. Beastwars - The Death of All Things

Thanks for reminding me M0g - I'll be getting the top 10 of 2016 survey up on Fourtheye today hopefully.

I think the Meshuggah album was better than many on that list, in fact my favorite album of theirs since Nothing. I expect my top 10 will include a bunch from your list, but there are a few you regard pretty highly that I felt weren't overly great (Opeth, Swans and DEP mostly).

A O R T A - Vicky Chow

Salome - Marriages

[bonebroke]

Chain of Keys
Joy in Repetition, North Sea Jazz Fest 2011
Something in the Water (Does not compute), Louisville version
In The Court of the Crimson King
Tomorrow Never Knows

I had these two songs on a mix recently and noticed a similar theme/connection:
Annie Christian
Cricket and the Genie (Movement 1)
In the late 70's early 80's, Prince wrote:

"Annie Christian was a whore
Always looking for some fun
Being good was such a bore
So she bought a gun
She killed John Lennon..."

And then Sean wrote:

He decided that he needed some fun
Went to the store, and purchased himself a gun.

Checked out both the new Sepultura and Code Orange albums this last couple of days. Both are really good, especially Code Orange.

Solid contenders for the best of 2017 (i might finish my best of 2016 post later tonight)
