This is the first official album by early drone ensemble The Taj Mahal Travellers, documenting a 1972 homecoming show at Sohgetsu Hall in Tokyo, following their second tour of Europe. I think this group is deeply underrated and has a small but wonderful discography, which consists […]
Exit Planet Dust is the debut studio album by our favorites and yours, psychedelic/dance legends The Chemical Brothers. It’s probably become their most underrated record over the past few decades. Even people who don’t know the music know the name but not enough folks know this […]
