Last two weeks, without counting this one. More roulette stuff, this week's (which I'll post tomorrow) it's the last one concerning those albums:
Hergest Ridge: Dunno, so far exploring Mike Oldfield's discography has been quite a disappointment. I love Ommadawn and its sequel, but other stuff I've tried to far hasn't really grabbed me. This one is the closest I've come to like from those. I'll give Amarok a try and be done with him for now.
March of Ghosts: Didn't expect much but this is a very solid Gazpacho record. Loving the celtic influence here. Atmospheric and lovely as usual.
Hounds of Love: Dunno why I didn't give it a fair chance two years ago, because this is some excellent music, very well-crafted pop. Smart, creative, catchy, and very enjoyable. Love how it avoids most of lame 80s pop clichés and produces something very unique.
The Underside of Power: This is better than I expected, and I probably like it more than their debut. A bit more electronic this time, a little heavier too. I'm into it.
As a side note, some roulette stuff from these weeks has been very good and surprising - found myself really enjoying Deftones' White Pony and Fair to Midland's inter.funda.stifle. Still have to give them a third listen but they sound promising so far.
