Thanks Ben. Khazad-dûm eh? I thought I was the only one who liked that album (although not many people have even listened to it!)

It's funeral doom...and Tolkien...how can that be bad?

Don't answer that Daniel.

Paradise Lost - "Gothic" (from "Gothic", 1991)

Neurosis - "Through Silver In Blood" (from "Through Silver In Blood", 1996)

Quoted Daniel

Seems like Neurosis have some key albums missing from Spotify as Through Silver in Blood isn't on the streaming service (at least here in the UK) along with Enemy of the Sun from last month.

However, the track Through Silver in Blood is on there as it is on the Relapse 30 Year Anniversary Sampler, so at least this month there is no need to change your selection Daniel.

Interesting. I have no problem finding both of those Neurosis albums on Spotify from Australia. They must have an alternate streaming service agreement in the UK.

Quoted Daniel

Yeah, Times of Grace isn't on there either. Seems strange that their highest rated albums wouldn't be available. Must be some sort of licensing issue or maybe Neurosis are protesting Boris Johnson (and why wouldn't they).

I'd be interested to know if any of those albums are on Spotify in the US or elsewhere in Europe.

Has anyone had any issues with playlist tracks not being available in their area?

In my country, all the Neurosis albums are available except Through Silver in Blood and Times of Grace.

Quoted Daniel

I have just come across a quote from an interview with Scott Kelly about a dispute with Alternative Tentacles and Jello Biafra over the rights to both Enemy of the Sun and Through Silver in Blood. I'm guessing this has something to do with why those albums are unavailable on Spotify.

Here's the quote:

"Alternative Tentacles ripped us off. That’s the simple version. They cooked the books and we called them on it. They accused us of all sorts of things and being greedy. And it was only about $3000!
It was basically an honor thing. There was no honor there. I don’t know what to say about it except that I was proud to be on the label when they approached us to do us records. We held them in high regard and it couldn’t be further from that now.
If he would rip us off for a small amount of money then he’d go after (the remaining Dead Kennedys) for huge amount of money. When is the last time he had to punch a clock or worry about rent? He doesn’t. Who lives in a house on the hill? He does. I live in a trailer in the woods. I have a day job and always have. What he did to his fellow band mates is all there in black and white."

Nice move Daniel. Much as I've wanted to, I've not dared put in such a lengthy single track, but I'm not complaining - I love that track.

Ben, do you have any suggestions for July's playlist as I would like to start work on it soon.
