.:sonorous - dulcimer music (2005, self-released)
A deliberately misleading title: Appalachian dulcimer is just the raw material and loose inspiration for what is, in fact, a lovely little album of drone experiments and shambling, shuffling beats. Reminiscent of those Japanese minimal electronics tapes Vanity Records put out in the early ‘80s.

Make Me! - It Only Hurts the First Time (2007, self-released)

Various Artists - The Golden Years of Yiddish Music, Vol. 1 (1994, Leisure Time Music)
A very fun compilation leaning mostly on lesser-known songs rather than standards, with even a couple comedy skits (Molly Picon has a good one on track 7). Generally good audio considering the age of the source material.

Various Artists - The Big Bang: In the Beginning Was the Drum (1994, Ellipsis Arts...)
Three jam-packed CDs of percussion (mostly world music, but the editors tried to cover as much ground as possible). The arrangement is uneven and haphazard, but with a compilation this big you are guaranteed more than a few gems.
Judging by the Amazon reviews, an artifact widely cherished among people who are slightly older than me.

Various Artists - Stilling Time: Traditional Musics of Vietnam (2006, Innova Recordings)
Although not clear from the title, this consists of recordings in disparate styles primarily from Vietnamese ethnic minorities (Ê Đê, Nùng, Hmong, Tày, Red Yao), along with 20th-century Vietnamese poetry, chamber music, and a couple miscellaneous other tracks. Very wide-ranging.

Various Artists - Songs of the Louvin Brothers (1997, Easydisc)
Self-explanatory, but these are all specifically bluegrass covers from bluegrass bands on a bluegrass label. Good for fans of the Louvin Brothers and/or bluegrass.

Various Artists - Music Too Good for Words, Two: A No Speak Sampler (1988, I.R.S. No Speak)
A compilation of deeply chintzy rock instrumentals, from the less-celebrated instrumental imprint of influential alt-rock label I.R.S. Records. Not without its charm, though - just listen to the Far Side Virtual-ass presets on this opening track!

Various Artists - Music of Central Asia, Uzbekistan (1987, Seven Seas)
Soviet Uzbek cultural ensembles, recorded in the late ‘80s for the Japanese market. The back half is quite strong; lots of showy solo instrumentals with drum accompaniment.

The (International) Noise Conspiracy - Survival Sickness (2000, Burning Heart Records)
I’ve been posting this latest batch of albums in alphabetical order by filename, so it’s an absolute coincidence that this was released the same year and on the same record label as Veni Vidi Vicious. The Hives and the Conspiracy ended up on fairly different trajectories, but put on this debut album from the latter and it’s immediately apparent they both came out of the same scene.
It’s frankly not a comparison that flatters this album, where T(I)NC are clearly finding their footing as a band and exhibit little of the sonic adventurousness that would eventually characterise their work. “The Hives - Introduce the Metric System in Time” is a more potent critique of capitalist society than anything on Survival Sickness; it’s faster; louder, and funnier. But it’s hardly fair to compare a band at its arguable peak with one just getting started.

The Hives - Veni Vidi Vicious (2000, Burning Heart Records)
I normally try not to upload things that can be easily found elsewhere (or are readily available for purchase in digital form), but it would be a betrayal of my teenage self if I ignored an opportunity to spread the gospel of Veni Vidi Vicious - The Hives’ best album and a stone cold classic of the 2000s garage-aissance. I didn’t listen to it for ten years, found a used CD copy, spun it up, and it still fuckin’ goes.
“Hate to Say I Told You So” isn’t my favorite song on the album (that’s probably “The Hives - Introduce the Metric System in Time”), but just look at all ten big, beautiful pixels in this music video. Kids these days don’t know how it used to be.

Torso - Percolatin’ With Lucifer (2005, 2 Headed Records)
This kind of music is “jazzy” in the way that Kraft products are “cheesy,” which is that Kraft is legally prohibited by the FDA from using the word “cheese” to describe what they make. Actually still pretty good, though.

LVX Nova - LVX Nova (1997, Miramar)
Actually way more engaging than the backwards newsboy hat and jorts on the cover would lead you to believe. It has the guitar noodling you’d expect, but I really dig the electronics.

Los Nena - Los Nena (2001, Nena Records)
Distinctively Mexican noise-rock freakouts. The lead singer of this band was Abel Membrillo (d. 2011), a well-known television announcer and voiceover actor.

Hen Party - The Heart Gallery (2003, Wild Goose Records)
A selection of traditional and contemporary folk songs, arranged for acapella trio and performed by three proudly middle-aged British women. Not without its awkward moments, but ultimately endearing; there's probably a track on here for everyone.
