FSOL- ISDN. The Longest Record I Own

Not including locked groove records, I think this, the original pressing of ISDN, is the longest single piece of vinyl I own. It's quiet, but still sounds pretty good.
Side 1: 38:37
Side 2: 36:20

I know there's some classical music that is longer, but I wonder how much non-classical music packs this much onto one disc.

My Second New Album of 2018

Open Here by Field Music. Blue Vinyl. Very good.

Sunday morning listening: Open Here by Field Music

My First New Album of 2018 is...

The Thread That Keeps Us, by Calexico. Deluxe edition double vinyl with a pack of 10 Calexico postcards that, let's be honest, I'm never going to send to anyone am I?

Scott O)))

Relaxing on a Saturday morning to Soused, the baroque doom metal album by Scott Walker and Sun O))) . It also might well be his most accessible album for 30 years.

The best way to review it is by taking the words from the "Album Moods" section from Allmusic:

Austere     Cerebral     Cold     Harsh    Indulgent   

Insular     Intense    Menacing    Sprawling

Weary    Meandering    Tense/Anxious

Anguished/Distraught  Atmospheric     Complex 

Dramatic     Gentle       Uncompromising
