Also, all this talk about 2019 and not a single mention of Branca's THIRD ASCENSION. I am massively disappointed and my day is at least partially ruined.

But agreed, I have not harassed people into listening to it nearly enough.

Lmao oh it’s a live album? Sounds like maybe a pretty not great jumping off point for him,no?

Not a great jumping off point though the first track was good.

It's hard to pick a perfect starting point for Branca so I usually just default to THE ASCENSION - it's his most iconic, most groundbreaking, most memorable. (And my personal favorite.) But THIRD ASCENSION is probably more accessible, honestly, and it 'plays' more like a studio recording than a live album. The only real indication that it's a live album are the brief bursts of cheering when a track ends. I think THIRD ASCENSION is on most streaming services, too, whereas THE ASCENSION is not (for some reason). So I definitely wouldn't steer someone away from checking it out, even if it were their first Branca. It'll be a good indicator of whether you'd enjoy the rest of his catalog or not.

Yeah, when I say that it comes with a qualifier of ‘I ❤️ The Ascension’ / really dug ‘Symphony #1’ and literally heard Lesson no.1 for the first time the other day 😆



I should explore further

It’s downtempo ala Kruder & dorfmeister or Dzihan and kamien so it depends how hipster the pub is

Kruder & Dorfy you say? 👌🏻 will check…

I genuinely thought you’d made up the title for the attention tho ngl, seems as though it is actually called that 😄



(presuming you added it in the first place)

Yeah, but even taking that into consideration you wanted us to check something with one rating called ‘A Special Album’ (I mean you can see why my mind went there, no?)

The more ratings something has on Sputnik has the more likely that it is trash let’s be real
