Love that track and Øresund Space Collective, btw.

Pulled an old thrift store find off the shelf - a DJ 12" of Cassius - "Feeling For You (Les Rythmes Digitales - Dreamix)"

Love that French touch.

Psykup - Cooler Than God

I liked that Psykup track. I think I recognised the backing sax player, Ferdinand Doumerc, who has played with all sorts of bands in the Toulouse area, for instance with Stabat Akish, who released a album under the Tzadik label (John Zorn). A bit jazzy experimental.

Stabat Akish - "Troide", le 20 sept 2014 au 7è "R.I.O"

I've started a new method of generating playlists.  100 random albums, sort by date, album title, then track #.  The idea is to spiral them but each spiral lasts 2-7 days at the most. 

If you wish to see it, here's my scrobbles.

The one in front looks to me like Aurelio Voltaire.  I have this thing about him.  He's unbelievably hot.

My wife thinks Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins sound similar. I'm like.. do they really? 🤔

Well, they both sound sick.  Peter Gabriel sounds like he's going to cough up his lungs at any moment, and Phil Collins desperately needs an antihistamine.  I feel like I'm listening to a wall of boogers when I hear Collins, whom I've nicknamed Charlie Brown.  I can't forgive them for that horrible "Illegal Alien" song (that's right knock 3/4 of my heritage, guys), so they've been cancelled for 40 years. 

Out of all the singers that sound like they're going to be sick right in front of you, I think I would rather Roger Chapman more than any others, because his is the voice that reaps the most long-term listening rewards for me.  Bonnie Tyler croaking Mike Oldfield's "Islands" at the top of her lungs, sounding like that voice is going to go any second, is a long-term favourite as well. 

David Thomas wins the award for unique singers.  There is something about his sense of space and timing that puts even Sinatra in the shade.  Yes he does sound something like a fat baby goat but that only adds to his charm.

I find Peter Gabriel's very nasal voice acting in Genesis to be more or less grating, but then really like his vocals once he gets into his solo career. It's weird.

To my ears, he sounds great on that above track and elsewhere, like on So.

Phil Collins' voice doesn't do much for me. I much prefer Gabriel.
