A Guy Called Gerald - Radio 1, One in the Jungle (May 17, 1996)
i don't generally like any newer jungle stuff but these old jungle mixes by the masters like Gerald & Mill & others are always worth hearing. almost a different world at this point, ~30 years ago now.

Nondi_ - Bonus Nondi...
great weirdness in the melodies & offkilter grooves from Nondi_, as she so often does well. love how these flow in & out of different states of mind & body in some way.

Hum - Inlet
6 years later & still feeling this one out. not that i don't love it deeply but it's still settling, growing? so much hidden in the cacophony & quiet moments alike, really rewarding for focused listening. really emotional album.

from Zabte Sote, pulling at threads from a number of sounds but mostly on the ambient-ish lean. always a refreshing listen. maybe a little long tho.

hellocatfood@tsrono I absolutely adore this album. I like that they went for longer songs. I'm also surprised I could find three minutes of the same slow riff at the end of Desert Rambler actually enjoyable!
My partner ordered the vinyl to the UK and it took nearly two years and two different attempts to order.
@hellocatfood ah, always awesome finding out someone's a Hum fan! the longer songs definitely felt like a good move - they've done them since the early days of course, but the extra time on almost everything here seemingly lead to some different choices for song structures & overall vibe. DR & the other long chug sessions on here are so meditative & full of such gravity. nothing new to just playing a riff to extremes but they're doing their own Hum take on it in ways they'd only touched before.
sellanraa@tsrono the transition from space rock to stoner zones makes sense, but wish there were more hooks and more singing. Still love the production and texture/layering and that's what makes it feel like Hum. Just feels weird, like it's almost a different band after such a long break.
@sellanraa hm, there's definitely stoner rock influence in here, it took some getting used to but i started to hear the Hum in it - like you said, it's still got that texture & layering! i can't say i've ever thought of them as a 'hook'y band but they've had their moments ofc... singing's always been on the sparse side so i don't see that as a big change really. maybe is more prominent in these longer tracks tho, can see that.
the ~20 years is there, no doubt. people change, bands adapt 🤷♂️
