Today’s Random Album of the Day is Aum from Divers On The Moon. They are a math rock band out of Italy. Their music is instrumental. No vocals.
I’d say that these are pure math rockers. And they are quite good. No finger tapping nonsense. Just good orchestrations! I don’t always did instrumental music. I tend to lose interest in instrumental music after a bit. The first couple of songs on this album are really excellent and it’s overall a good album. I lost interest once or twice but not much.
Rating: 9.4
Favorite Track(s): First off “432fm” is a great album intro. “Sugar in the Morning” is excellent. “Florea” is fantastic. “Yrgen” I liked. “Scallops” is pretty classic instrumental math rock.
Keep or Trash: Keep. They are good.
Background
Every day, or nearly every day anyhow, I will randomly select an album from my collection of digital music, listen to it, and share it here. – Jayne
My wife and I are board gamers and we gamify nearly everything in life. This includes our music listening. We use a dice catapult to roll dice and then use the dice results to pick our vinyl listens. So why not do something similar for the blog?
I have made the randomizer table I use for picking the album of the day available! What? It’s a simple table but uses some weird dice. If you are not familiar, if you say D30 that means a 30 sided die. These are the dice the randomizer table uses: D30, D4, D8, D10, D12, D14, and D20. The D14 and D30 are unique but you can buy cheap packs of dice with those in them off the internet.
The basic steps are to 1) roll the D30. That picks the starting letter or if it’s a number. 2) Then use the chart roll the die associated with the first letter to pick the second letter. If you get “Other” that means numbers or some other weird character. If none of those exist re-roll. 3) Once you have the second letter you can use that to roll for a third letter if needed. 4) That should get you down to a few artists and from there you pick dice based on the number of artists. 5) finally for the artist selected you roll a die for the number of albums listed. Then you have your Random Album to listen to….
