Amor Loreena - Las Viejas Costumbres

And now for something completely different...


Amor Loreena - Las Viejas Costumbres

I've been meaning to post this for weeks now but due to NbBMN was unable to. This is Amor Loreena, and chances are, this is the only place you will find this, unless others were as lucky as I was and happened to be there as well.

Long story made short, the lead guitarist of this group was asking for thoughts on her bands recently recorded album on a particularly popular image board. As things tend to go, she was driven off due to trolling. Much to mine and many others dismay, she had already left before we could offer our praise.

And so I am posting this here. This is some beautiful flamenco style guitar with kind of new agey elements I suppose you could say. Very beautiful music and very good guitar playing.



Give this a listen, and if you do like it, please pass it on. I'd someday like to google this band and actually find something. As is, there is no website, no myspace, absolutely nothing.

Highlight tracks would be Piloto Azteca and Sin Titulo 1 but hell, they are all pretty damn good.

Sir Richard Bishop - While My Guitar Violently Bleeds

You know that feeling you get when you listen to something for the first time, and it completely floors you? I had that last night with this album.


Sir Richard Bishop - While My Guitar Violently Bleeds

This is admittedly my first time listening to Richard Bishop, former guitarist of the Sun City Girls, another band I also have not listened to though am no stranger to their large level of influence. So with that said, I was completely floored when I first heard this. I honestly had no idea of what to expect, and was immensely pleased with the resulting sounds.

What we have here, is some very middle eastern, gypsy, Arabic etc acoustic guitar playing, and it sounds beautiful. If someone happens to know the exact term for this, I would love to know. The second track however, is quite different from the first. It is in fact an experimental track, almost psychedelic even in that really dark Japanese psychedelic sound of bands like Kosoukuya. 3rd track is a cross between the two, with the acoustic playing, and faint noise going in and out.

Will everyone enjoy this? Well, I think everyone will enjoy track 1 and 3 at the very least. Track 2 does require some tolerance for more experimental forms of music. With that said though, give it a listen. This is wonderful music well worth it.

Tracklisting:

1		Zurvan (6:46)
2		Smashana (11:06)
3		Mahavidya (25:20)

Highly recommended
