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.

@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 ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

@tsrono fascinating, I find them one of the more timeless bands from that era because of the actually thoughtful songwriting and hooks ๐Ÿ˜ so many other bands I loved as a teenager haven't held up as well...
