This week album:
Alien
by Strapping Young Lad
Django Django is a British rock band I had never heard of before, although they seem to be quite popular, with songs featured in video games and all that.
Wikipedia classifies them as "Art rock, neo-psychedelia, electronic rock, electronic, indie rock, progressive rock." I think calling them progressive rock is a bit far-fetched, but I’ve only listened to a single album, so what do I know? They have five.
This album, Marble Skies, starts with some kind of indie electro-pop, but as it progresses, the psychedelic rock aspect slowly takes over.
It's a good album. Each and every song goes in its own distinctive direction, which is great.

This week, the randomly selected album was not new to me. I’ve listened to it a hundred times before. Or did I?
In fact, I might have listened to the titular song a few hundred times, but this is not true for all the other tracks on the album.
This is the soundtrack of a TV show from the early 1970s. It sounds EXACTLY like the soundtrack of a TV show from the 1970s. Not a single surprise to be found here.
But is it good? Well, the titular song is a blast and worth listening to a hundred times. The rest is okay, I guess—music to study or code to...
Shaft - Isaac Hayes
Cette semaine, l'album sélectionné au hasard ne m'était pas inconnu. Je l'ai déja écouté des centaines de fois. Ou bien… ?
En fait, j'ai peut-être écouté la chanson-titre quelques centaines de fois, mais ce n'est pas le cas pour les autres morceaux de l'album.
C'est la bande originale d'une série télé des années 1970. Ça sonne EXACTEMENT comme la bande originale d'une série des années 1970. Aucune surprise ici.
Mais est-ce que c'est bon ? Eh ben, la chanson-titre est géniale et mérite d'être écoutée des centaines de fois. Le reste est correct, je suppose. De la musique pour étudier ou coder...

*Gettovetts - Missionaries Moving*
Gettovetts is a sub project of an artist otherwise known as RAMM:ΣLL:ZΣΣ who specialize in "Avant Garde" industrial experimental hip-hop.
Although I am no big fan of Hip-hop, the "Avant Garde" industrial experimental part tickle me more and I enjoyed this album. At least in part like "Go Down! Now Take Your Balls!". But not in other like the boring and overlong "Battle Call".
Overall an interesting sound. There is definitely something there. But this is too gangsta hipopish for me...

✨ Morning Star by The Prisoners is a British psych rock album with cool sounding keyboards thanks to the very cute Vox Continental! (see below)
At first, I thought it was from the 1960s, but they’re actually a retro band from the mid-1980s. Some tracks are more inspired than others, but in the sea of bad new wave back then, this must’ve been a refreshing breath of fresh air!
I’ll definitely listen again and dig into their other stuff. 🎶
