Great album from great artist - one that I did not hear before. Nice to be reminded of her insane vocal! Great instrumentation as well - well played, but at the same time lets the vocals shine. Not the deepest lyrics, but they feel heartfelt and real.

Basket of Light
Pentangle
Mostly American folk ish. Not a biggest fan of that to begin with, but the instrumentation was nice enough. The vocals very heavy on the ups and downs as it typically is in the genre - and that is not for me! The female voice is beautiful. The male voice did not impress me, especially when dragging on notes - doesn’t sound good at all.

Kind of a genre blend, so a bit hard to place. Most of it feels like orchestra music with a musical/theatre vocal to be honest. Some tracks in English and some in German. Not my cup of tea, but the musicians and singer are good nevertheless. Not on Spotify in my country, so had to get a YouTube Premium trial.

The Avalanches
Sample based electronic music from the 2000s. Samples from vinyl with a fair amount of static. Some occasional scratching. Lots of loops. Some tracks seamlessly transitions to the next which is really nice with this kind of music. Not heard before, but a lot of the samples are recognizable. Pretty interesting even though it is pretty chaotic - could easily have lost a couple of layers. The production does not sound very good, but that might as well be a choice to make it even more dirty.

Expected heavy metal or prog from the cover art and was surprised to hear what sounds like some kind of partly acoustic drum and bass variation with vocals. Hard to decide if I like this. Not an instant hit, but there is something interesting to it! Too long for a re listen at the moment. Giving it a 3 due to the varying quality of the tracks. Would probably have given it a 4 if it was shortened down by curating the track list more.
