Tortoise
Really surprising. Never heard of this band before. It's instrumental, something that wouldn't have spoken to me much when I was younger, but I find it excellent now. So much variety and interesting textural and atmospheric sounds. A deep surprise I'll probably find myself listening to again in the near future and maybe explore the band's other work. Djed is the 20min experimental, progressive wild ride that reminds me of Fear of a Blank Planet yet even better strung together. Just awesome find.

Kraftwerk
Another album where I appreciate the historical value. A lot of the songs I appreciate, but the repetitive nature of it does get on my nerves after a little while. Little no variation in the lyrics (mostly the title of the song on repeat.) Perhaps it speaks more of my modern failing attention span, an ailment of the 21st century. It really struggles to hold my interest. Not something I would listen to on my own I don't think. It's nice to have given it a proper listen so I understand the historical context of electronic music a bit better.

Tom Waits
After hearing the soundman of Answer me This banging on about Tom Waits for what feels like forever, this is the first time I'm listening to an album by this man consciously.
A lot of lyrics about girls and prostitutes so far. And that trademark smoker's gravel.
A bit too melodramatic for my tastes?
His "rough and rumble" songs are better than his cheesy love ditties.
1. "Heartattack and Vine" 4:50 - Good
2. "In Shades" (Instrumental) 4:25 - Great instrumental
3. "Saving All My Love for You" 3:41 - MEH too cheesy
4. "Downtown" 4:45 - Back to some of the gravel of the first track, good. Weird golem like screech lol.
5. "Jersey Girl" 5:11 - Back to meh cheese
Side Two
No. Title Length
1. "'Til the Money Runs Out" 4:25 - Back to gravel, nice hammond organ bits
2. "On the Nickel" 6:19 - BACK TO CHEESE
3. "Mr. Siegal" 5:14- Ok, too many refs to whores imho
4. "Ruby's Arms" - A christmas song. No.
Basically this album is a whiplash... Can only appreciate the more gravelly stuff.
