A fresh top note is followed by a lavender that is never outdated and complimented by a woody amber drydown. It is a touch sharp initially to then settle down nicely. Average projection and four...
I got two blind buys on the same day. Annick Goutal Mon Parfum Cherie par Camille reinforces the blind buy. If I were to mistake my lucky randomness for logic I would never have to smell another...
Fourreau Noir makes me consider the possibilities of copying and repetition. Part of a series, variation on a theme? Uninventive, deliberate, derivative? ...
At first sniff I get cumin quite strong and maybe some nutmeg trying to cover up . . . no other way to say it, an awful stench of burning onions with some other odd camphor. Sounds strange and...
I had a long perfectly civil acquaintanceship with Duc de Vervins long before I elected to purchase a bottle. I tried it several times at Bergdorf's and passed on it thinking it is too strong;...
You ever get an album and as soon as you're finished listening to it you cannot BELIEVE that you almost missed listening to it? As if your life wouldn't have been complete, if you hadn't had the opportunity to experience this 'sound'? As if everyone else who had already listened to it had been 'in on the joke' and you were left out for some time, until now? That's how I felt when I listened to this album. Ultimately, it's a cohesive mixture of a whole bunch of parts (of electronic music) that I love: dub bass, dark ambience/drone, female vocals and a nice slow (but hard) groove. In fact I can't think of another album, since 'A Shocking Hobby' by Speedy J, that is so hard and yet so slow and dirge-like. In my teens, I cut my teeth on that slow, throbbing, 'gothic' industrial music (like Clock DVA, Test Dept., etc..) and this album, as dubstep and hip as it is, sort of evokes that mood also. I'm not sure if I want to stare off into the distance while it's playing...or move my hips.
Thanks for putting this link up N. I've been listening to it, on and off, all day yesterday & today. Some of tracks are deadly good. Nice way to close out '12.

No problem. I haven't been able to run through it all myself. As you said, there's way too many awesome records that just go on repeat for me. Blind by Christian Löffler is one of my favorites so far.
