Every so often, there's a short section of a song that I find mesmerising. It'll get stuck deep in my head, I'll replay it over and over for days or weeks. I've wanted to share them; here's the place, now's the time. We're starting off strong.
CHON - live Puddle solo, 2017 (~valravn/mus/sotw/current.mp3)
This is one of my favorite drum solos ever. It has such an incredible feel, difficult to describe - jazzy, breakbeatish, but with an extreme metal edge; fitting perfectly within a math rock track in 5/4 time. This is an iPhone recording of the live version of the song's outro, with Nathan Camarena playing his own solo instead of Brian Evans' original. It's a feat to have written one I enjoy more.
I intend to post and share a few thoughts on each of the notable albums I decide to listen to from now on. For now, here's a few of my favorites, limited 1 per artist.
