Dark Tranquillity – The Gallery
2010/03/30
Good morning. The Gallery by Swedish death metal band Dark Tranquillity is generally considered to be one of the best metal albums of the 1990s. I’m pretty sure it was added to Spotify yesterday, but since I haven’t checked their profile lately I can’t be 100 percent certain about that. Anyway, enjoy!
(Note: This is the reissue with five extra tracks!)

Spring Cleaning: part 5
2010/03/28
Good evening. It’s time for the fifth and final part in my latest project. In part one I wrote:
“A couple of days ago I began tidying up among my Spotify playlists and in the process I found plenty of albums from 2009 that I had either ignored or forgot about. After some intense listening I narrowed it down to 20 releases. Many of these albums have probably been mentioned before over at On The Spot or at some other sites, but I still think it’s great to give them another spot in the sun.”
The genres here: Caroline Herring = folk/singer-songwriter, The Soundcarriers = psychadelic folk pop/rock, When I Was 12 = folk/pop and Withered Hand = singer-songwriter. Enjoy!
(Spring Cleaning: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 )
Caroline Herring – Golden Apples Of The Sun
The Soundcarriers – Harmonium
When I Was 12 – Dear Eskimo
Withered Hand – Good News

The Irrepressibles

The Czars – Before…But Longer
2010/03/27
Hello. It’s time for another late night blog post. Many weeks ago this brilliant album by alternative rock band The Czars was added to the Spotify library. Recommended listening. Enjoy!
