Still buying CDs
I’ve admittedly moved largely to digital music purchases, in an attempt to stop cluttering up my house with more and more CDs (I’m also selling a bunch of CDs, of course, and will be adding hundreds more to the list soon). But I also like to support the vendors that have served so well over the years, so today for the first time in quite a while I placed a big order at Wayside Music.
- Jim Black/Alas No Axis - Houseplant
- Magma - Emehntehtt-Re
- Minamo - Kuroi Kawa~Black River
- Opus Avantra - Introspezione
- Alec K. Redfearn and the Eyesores - The Blind Spot
- Vidna Obmana - Legacy
- Wadada Leo Smith - Spiritual Dimensions
- Zevious - After the Air Raid
Yes, there’s even an Italian prog album on the list! Can’t remember the last time I bought one of those, ha.

That Eyesores album is eat.

Uh, it’s great.

Cool. That’s the only one I haven’t spun yet. I remembered liking the samples when it originally came out, but never got around to getting it. Hooray for Wayside/Cuneiform cutout sales! (But, no hooray for Wayside/Cuneiform needing to sell CDs at deep discounts.)

How’s the Zevious cd? I was planning on grabbing that one. I’ve followed Dysrythmia since they were opening for Scott McGill’s Handfarm at a local bar in Philly, so this seems like an auto buy for me.

The Zevious is pretty nice. It’s very… Cuneiform, if that means anything to you. Like, avant-rock that’s intricate and complicated but a little dry and academic unless you turn the volume WAY up. Then, it rocks.
