So Justin Broadrick, of the fabled noisy soundscapes fame with Godflesh and Jesu, has made a collaboration album with Mark Kozelek, of glorious plaintive slowcore fame with Red House Painters and Sun Kil Moon.

I love both artists, and they also enlist guest appearances from a host of other people that I love, including Will Oldham and Rachel Goswell of Slowdive fame, although I'm not entirely convinced by the album which feels uneven, and I'm not sure about Mark's choice of conversational Sprechgesang delivery (or the slowed down vocals in a couple of the tracks), which admittedly he uses at times to great effect as an occasional line here or there in Sun Kil Moon material, but here it is almost the main delivery method.

My favourite track is Exodus, which revisits a lot of his favourite lyrical topics - love, loss, the life of moving from town to town, memories and boxing (obviously explored in great depth on Ghosts of the Great Highway, but it crops up in a few songs either directly or indirectly on this album) - with the additional heartbreaking twist, and also reflecting back on intensely personal song topics covered throughout his career, from Katy Song through to Carissa.

I'm a fan of MK, but this doesn't sound like my cup of tea.

I don't like the collaboration, Kozelek's Sprecchgesang doesn't really fit in, it feels pretty odd and in my humble opinion the vocals don't really fit the music. I have to agree, Exodus is probably the best song on the album.

A couple of great picks there. Personally, my favourite Mr Bungle album is "Disco Volante", but California is probably the one I listen to most, I think you have to be in the right frame of mind to sit through the other two. Ever tried the Cardiacs or the Residents?

However, in the coolness stakes, I think it's patently clear that unless you are Tom Waits, you are not as cool as Tom Waits. There are only two types of people in this world: people who love Tom Waits and people who are wrong.

Here's a live version of Lucky Day which is more plaintive and imo superior to his original.

Halfway through Disco Volante, so similar yet so different from California. I like it but think California is slightly better. Never listened the Cardiacs or the Residents. Will click on the first albums that appear on YT.

A mix of different genres I guess. I very much like the sound of Spanish music altho I don't understand it too well and I like a lot of Kid Cudi and Flume's music in general

I'm in a soundtrack mood at the moment:


El chucho, quien sabe? (Tema per chitarra) Luis Bacalov 1966 Argentina https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cp1ypnSZoKg
Il grande duello (Parte decima) Luis Bacalov 1972 Argentina https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQB2VJYIrbE
Fiesta en San Miguel Luis Bacalov from El Chucho, quien sabe? 1966 Argentina https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3OJ9z5N_vs

2015 was really the year I discovered the genius of Luis Enriquez Bacalov. Though I'm not too fond of his work for Italian romances or poliziottesco, his work for spaghetti westerns really have glimpses of Morricone's greatness. "Il Grande Duello", there's so much variety in that tune.

Now listening to The Main Theme of "L'oro dei bravados" and then another track for the same film called "Ricordi"
