Antlers - "Hospice"

Wonderful music even though I could not give it my proper attention.

I'll keep the must-look-into for now.

Boy Robot - "Rotten Cocktails"

Listened to the whole album, but except for "Live in Vanilla" it's rather boring.

Removing the must-look-into on the original post.

U.N.K.L.E - "The Answer"

feating Gavin Clark, the Lumerians, Sleepy Sun

Found through "must_look_into" of the Lumerians, but this is mostly an U.N.K.L.E project.

Their typical sound, nice.

• "country tune" featuring Gavin Clark: interesting repeated-hiccup effects at the end
• "follow me down" featuring Sleepy Sun. well known song, but in the remix. The Björk singing .. is that ms Sleepy Sun?

Muse - "The 2nd Law"

I hated "Madness" - and listening to it right now, it hasn't grown on me yet, oh no, not at all - but I heard "Supremacy" the other day which does have a good old fashioned Muse sound.

Giving it another try.

Nothing fancy, no song catches my attention, except for "Unsustainable", which is quite Skrillex-ish in its dubstep (?) beats.

Also, there seem to be instrumental version of this album, which is probably the reason I thought most of the album was. As it stands, perhaps the instrumental version is better.

"Isolated System", mostly instrumental, is catchy too. So it seems the best songs on this album are the ones without voices. Which is rather... unusual, for Muse.

Appaloosa (2008)

Western with Ed Harris (directed by, and written by) and Viggo Mortensen.

Music by Jeff Beal, which is how I found this (after listening to Carnivàle)

Good, though no crowd pleaser: the story is fast, and a bit jumpy at times, the character development good.
