An mp3 site has given me free downloads for a year. So my aim is to at least download one album a day and broaden my music horizon...or just stick to old faves... This blog is my day by day album by album musings

Decoder Ring - They Blind the Stars, And the Wild Team
Holy Freaking Shit! this album is good. it's a friggin work of art. to be absorbed not listened to. Much like their amazing Somersault Soundtrack this is an epic journey through a musical universe of distorted caressed guitars, strings, piano and percussion, of soaring highs and intimate lows, of exhilarating crescendos and torturously beautiful lulls. Decoder ring are Australias answer to Mogwai, Sigur Ros, and Explosions in the sky all rolled into one. Sorry for waxing lyrically about this but, i'm just so excited by this album that i'm ready to burst. This really just makes every other album i've listened to this year seem like a giant dog turd in comparison. I'm speechless. I am without speech
Remind me to pick this up when I'm in Oz next month.
