the buff who fell to earthLB: Another new 1001 Other Albums post is up, now the 2nd new post that hasn't made its way from WP to the Fedi cross-posting account. Blargh. Last time I fought with WordPress support for, what, over a month? before they did something that made it work properly. I really don't want to bother with that again, I'd recommend following the @1001OtherAlbums account too/instead... 
1001 Other AlbumsAnna Thorvaldsdottir – Aerial / In the Light of Air / Aequa (2014-18, Iceland)
Continuing our journey through the epic Fedi-sourced catalogue of must-hear albums, our next spotlight is on numbers 932, 933, and 934 on The List, submitted by mimo. These three albums feature the works of Icelandic experimental modern classical composer, two being collections of smaller works and one being a single unified work. Unsure if you truly need to listen to not one, not two, but three albums of this incredible composer? Make sure you take a look at the full spotlight, in which I, umm, show that you perhaps should, for science.

Vinnum Sabbathi – of Dimensions & Theories (2020, Mexico)
Continuing our journey through the epic Fedi-sourced catalogue of must-hear albums, our next spotlight is on number 942 on The List, submitted by buffyleigh (myself). This is a concept album from the brilliant space/doom metal/rock band out of Mexico, Vinnum Sabbathi, following a storyline set in 2061 but feeling pretty relevant today given the current NASA mission and general state of the world, etc. While the music is primarily instrumental, the band makes use of various spoken samples including historical recordings from NASA to craft the story.

Elisapie – Inuktitut (2023, Inuk)
Continuing our journey through the epic Fedi-sourced catalogue of must-hear albums, our next spotlight is on number 1086 on The List, submitted by Yuki. This is a covers album like no other. Inuk alt-folk artist Elisapie chose songs that once were all over the airwaves - including in her hometown of Nunavik - songs that had a strong emotional connection to a person or memory in her past, translated them into Inuktitut, and then created intensely personal versions of those songs. I guarantee you’ve never heard these songs (originally by Metallica, Fleetwood Mac, Cyndi Lauper, Queen, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Blondie, Patrick Hernandez, Leonard Cohen, and Rolling Stones) like this before.

Future Pilot AKA – Salute Your Soul (2004, Scotland)
Continuing our journey through the epic Fedi-sourced catalogue of must-hear albums, our next spotlight is on number 393 on The List, submitted by platenworm. Future Pilot AKA is the pseudonym/project of Glasgow-based musician Sushil K. Dade. And this album – the 2nd LP under this project – is primarily chill, uplifting downtempo with a lot of mix-ins, from reggae and dub to gospel and baroque pop, plus appearances by the likes of Philip Glass, Mikey Dread, and a digeridoo. Methinks fans of Thievery Corporation will feel quite comfortable here, and fans of Holger Czukay may recognize a deep-cut reference.

Reveal Party – Favourite Person (2023, Denmark)
Continuing our journey through the epic Fedi-sourced catalogue of must-hear albums, our next spotlight is on number 0c on The List, submitted by eva. Reveal Party is the fantastically named indie rock/dream pop project headed by singer-songwriter Emily Holm Nyhuus. Nyhuus’ vulnerable vocals and achingly honest lyrics about her experiences with love and life as a trans woman go straight to the heart, carried by a sonic emotional delivery system that leans heavily on Midwest emo.

Ian William Craig – Durbē (2017, Canada)
Continuing our journey through the epic Fedi-sourced catalogue of must-hear albums, our next spotlight is on number 250 on The List, submitted by buffyleigh (me). This is a live album from sound artist, composer, and classically trained vocalist Ian William Craig, recorded in a small Latvian church at the end of his tour nearly 10 years ago for the brilliant studio album Centres. With a couple of tracks stretching past 20 minutes in length, the live format lets Ian experiment to his heart's content, magically looping, delaying, distorting, and further manipulating tape through various faulty cassette machines, creating a gorgeous bed of decaying, droning sounds for his vocals that are sometimes nearly operatic, sometimes also looped and distorted.

Esben and the Witch – Older Terrors (2016, UK)
Continuing our journey through the epic Fedi-sourced catalogue of must-hear albums, our next spotlight is on number 730 on The List, submitted by sentynel. This lovely moody album is the 4th from this post-rock trio, centering the fabulous, attention-grabbing vocals of Rachel Davies. FFO Mandylion, perhaps, and attempting to recover memories...

Nuuk Posse – Kaataq (1996, Greenland)
Continuing our journey through the epic Fedi-sourced catalogue of must-hear albums, our next spotlight is on number 414 on The List, submitted by Almoehi. Originally formed in 1984-85 as a DJ/breakdance trio, Nuuk Posse released their first single in 1992 and rapped primarily in Kalaallisut/West Greenlandic and Danish, making them both the first Greenlandic rap group and a very influential group in Greenland's hip-hop scene. This album is their 2nd and final studio album, put out by Belgian label Sub Rosa.

Desire Marea – Desire (2020, South Africa)
Continuing our journey through the epic Fedi-sourced catalogue of must-hear albums, our next spotlight is on number 216 on The List, submitted by platenworm. This is the solo debut from multidisciplinary artist and sangoma Buyani Duma aka Desire Marea, who is/was half of FAKA, a multimedia performance art duo and African queer liberation movement. Somewhat continuing the sonic work of FAKA in terms of using gqom (South African dance/house) and other dance subgenres as a base and some lyrics in Zulu, Marea's solo work is more personal and experimental, borrowing sounds from art rock, avant-pop, industrial, and jazz. Truly incredible.
