Been listening to this a lot. Really top drawer - proggy/arty/jazzy. Reminds me a bit of Love and Money/Cafe Jacques, that kind of thing. Absolutely in my top albums of 2024.

The new OpethâŚ
It took some time to digest. I love Opeth, but my relationship with grunting is âdifficultâ 
Anyways, after some time (the weekend) I came to a conclusion: this is a brilliant piece of music from a band that is at its peak height when it comes to creativity.
I mean, how can you combine (death) metal with jazz influences and make it coherent? Opeth just did it. And the grunting is of a form I can manage
Very much looking forward seeing them live in February!

I was going to post this here now, but I will merely comment on what an excellent album this is.
Even my wife can cope with Opeth level grunting, (she refers to them as the Growlers).
Though I have a bit of a penchant for Death metal growling, although most bands donât make it to the living room
Either way this is an exceptional album

Although never released until recently, Jazz Sabbathâs music has been finding its way to millions for over 50 years. Through a vicious cycle of personal tragedy and plagiarism the songs intended to change the jazz world ended up giving birth to a much darker sound. Now a third recording from the Sixties has resurfaced, perhaps their most important one.
In 1968 Jazz Sabbath were an instant hit on the UK jazz scene. It wasnât long until they were offered a record deal. They spent weeks in the studio recording the tracks that got the heaviest reactions at their shows until they captured their live energy on tape. Unfortunately, the label manager told them the album was far too experimental and there was no hit potential. Ordered to play some of their âeasierâ tracks instead, they reluctantly gave in.
The 2 albums that followed still are classics in their own right, but they were not mistaken in thinking they had recorded their best work in 1968. Like the tracks from their 2 albums, these tracks were also blatantly presented as âoriginal songsâ by that band from Birmingham a few years later. Whether they copied them from live bootlegs or if they got their hands on the mix, it doesnât really matter. Their lasting popularity, even in the crude way they were covered, only proves just how monumental these songs were and how record labels are often wrong.
With the truth now finally out there and that Birmingham band exposed as the musical charlatans they are, Jazz Sabbath have finally mastered the 1968 tapes to present their best work to the public.
Released today on Bandcamp.

Metal and electronic genres would really benefit from an addition like this.
