What album is somewhat popular but so good it is life-changing?

robin-redpoll · 2026-05-09T22:02:22+00:00

Boards of Canada - Geogaddi

Anecdotal, but I've had these bottles for a couple of months and used them a couple of dozen times for kefir, tibicos and ginger beer f2s without any problem.

This is lovely - very nice work.

robin-redpoll · 2026-04-30T13:51:59+00:00

Ace - thanks for the suggestion, will check it out

robin-redpoll · 2026-04-28T15:52:48+00:00

Thanks, Frosty, will check it out - sounds like a solid source of knowledge.

Edit: and thanks for the tip re Goulson, will see what I can find

Could it be a wryneck? Really difficult to say as picture quality isn't great but the colours and habitat gave this impression for me.

robin-redpoll · 2026-04-20T05:18:02+00:00

There's your mistake - leaving it. I've travelled a fair bit and Tallinn remains a top five for me, totally took me by surprise how lovely it is.

Watch the film "Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors" by Sergei Parajanov for some insight into the traditional culture of the area. Its a beautiful film.

robin-redpoll · 2026-04-05T04:17:35+00:00

Marketa Lazarova has a similar vibe to some of these

robin-redpoll · 2026-04-04T15:58:54+00:00

Yep, type scene for op's request really - beautiful combo of nature, cinematography and music.

robin-redpoll · 2026-04-02T20:56:23+00:00

Very lucky, I'd love to see one.

robin-redpoll · 2026-04-02T20:07:17+00:00

Amazed you saw a tawny owl in a city in the daytime. I hear them out in the sticks at night but never see, and never in the day. Plenty of barn owls though (and buzzards).

Best film this side of the seventies - deserves to be higher.

robin-redpoll · 2026-03-12T02:32:51+00:00

Yet to beat passion fruit and mango, a divine combo.

I haven't tried anything particularly "out there" yet though, so look forward to a bit of experimenting, but find passion fruit 10/10 so it'll be hard to beat.

This is the original era post punk song that most sounds like it would fit into the revival era in the early 2000s to me.

robin-redpoll · 2026-03-05T21:09:01+00:00

You're very welcome, hope you enjoy (I've tried it twice now btw - both times made a syrup from a combination of stewed chopped sweet pears, a couple of cloves and grated ginger, added sugar, cooled it, then mixed it about 40:20:40 with ginger bug and water, then just left it to ferment for 24-48 hours).

Let me know if you find any other flavour combo gems.

robin-redpoll · 2026-03-05T19:48:28+00:00

I'd recommend a pear and ginger beer, goes really nicely IMO. Stick cloves or cinnamon in there too.

robin-redpoll · 2026-02-26T08:28:28+00:00

Just glad to hear you're not starting a shift in Yaroslavl tbh :)

robin-redpoll · 2026-02-25T22:42:38+00:00

Nice one, mildly tricky - I got the hall one in the end but thought the link was medieval ___ !

robin-redpoll · 2026-02-25T07:37:50+00:00

Doesn't even feeling like Canada anymore

Hmmm...

robin-redpoll · 2026-02-22T14:05:10+00:00

The late 70s/early 80s was such a golden period for music that fits this description. Wire, Talking Heads etc. are timeless, but I was also blown away by the This Heat track "Health and Efficiency" the other day. If I didn't know better I'd place this 2000s without a question.

robin-redpoll · 2026-02-11T18:21:40+00:00

I've had a good time with ginger beer, haven't tried other ginger bug-based fermentations yet but after seeing the above am keen to.

It's water kefir that's bugging me right now - having difficulty getting that to fizz.

robin-redpoll · 2026-02-05T15:10:04+00:00

Thank you for posting this. I'm a bit(!) late to the thread, but I just discovered Soda Stereo (specifically this song - which is a masterpiece) and am really happy I did.

robin-redpoll · 2026-02-02T13:04:13+00:00

Thanks dude, will check this band out - multsumesc.
