I’m not sure if I have been hiding under a rock, Graham, I have not heard of any of the bands or albums you have listed over the past few days, are they all of a certain genre ?

I've been listening to the Whitesnake 1978-1982 CD boxset 'Little Box O Snakes'.

 

Always appreciated Neil Murray's playing but had never realised quite how much he sounds like Andy Fraser! That staccato, farty, low mid pumping tone is quite something....

My tastes are a little niche and from the heavier end of the metal/hardcore spectrum - if post-rock/hardcore, mathcore, black metal or grindcore are your bag then you'd probably recognise the bands I'm listing, otherwise they will probably be completely unheard of :)

 

Speaking of which, yesterday was the last day of my holiday and I listened to the below - I've tried to give some description of what they sound like

 

Lingua Ignota - Sinner Get Ready (hard to categorise, but think Diamanda Galas dealing with an abusive relationship through the medium of Catholicism and American folk music. It's actually a brilliant record even if it sounds conceptually odd)

The Dillinger Escape Plan - Ire Works (mathcore - chaotic, abrasive hardcore/punk in complex time signatures)

The Dillinger Escape Plan - Option Paralysis

Bossk - Audio Noir (post-metal which is exemplified by (often instrumental), music which slowly builds to crescendo with lots of textures, often quite cinematic. Bossk though are like that, but with big, fun, awesome riffs)

The absolutely phenomenal  "Sea Song" by Robert Wyatt, from his 1974 solo album "Rock Bottom" :

 

 

You look different every time you come
From the foam-crested brine
Your skin shining softly in the moonlight
Partly fish, partly porpoise, 
Partly baby sperm whale
Am I yours? 
Are you mine to play with?
Joking apart - when you're drunk you're terrific 
When you're drunk I like you mostly 
Late at night you're quite alright

 

But I can't understand the different you in the morning
When it's time to play 
At being human for a while,
Please smile!
You'll be different in the spring, I know
You're a seasonal beast 
Like the starfish that drift in with the tide
So until your blood runs to meet the next full moon
You're madness fits in nicely with my own
Your lunacy fits neatly with my own, 
My very own

 

We're not alone
