Needles & Grooves AoTM /// Vol. 7 - January 2020 /// Clarence Clarity - No Now

For those of you looking to explore further (if you haven't already), I highly recommend Clarence's follow-up album Think: Peace. It's much tamer than No Now and is much easier to digest on first listen. Unfortunately as of right now there isn't a vinyl pressing so you'll have to stick with streaming, but it is a really great sophomore album that takes a lot of the craziness of No Now and puts it a more accessible context.


Also highly recommended is this playlist he compiled of non-album singles and early versions of songs released between No Now and Think: Peace, which has some real 🔥🔥🔥 stuff in it


Clarence has also been producing for Rina Sawayama the last few years, resulting primarily in this mini-album where you can hear his influence pretty profoundly


Also, just for kicks, here are two bonus tracks from the Japanese version of the album if you're interested

 
Also, JQBX peeps - as @Teeeee suggested a few days ago, I'd like to try to have a listening party for the AOTM in the JQBX at some point in the near future. I just need feedback from y'all on what time/day/etc is good for everyone. I know with all of our different schedules and whatnot that it will be almost impossible to get everyone in there at the same same time but I would like to include as many of us as possible.

Basically - let me know when y'all will be free and we'll try to work it out from there ^_^

right now.
 
Discogs lists 3 versions of BELLA481V. One of which is identified as including a CD. The other two are separated by country of origin and a Limited dénotation on the U.K. one. The EU entry has sufficient info to confirm the one I bought was listed incorrectly as the limited version. I am curious if anyone can confirm a limited U.K. version actually exists or if there are duplicate entries on Discogs. The EU is specified as gatefold and includes the MP3 download hype sticker.

Well since I've asked a few times for this, I hope that "right now" didn't occur. Or if it did, that it was wildly successful and Gap will want to do it again! :)

If it's a weekend or xmas, please just DM me. Since I take breaks from here on the weekend, I would still get the email and can hop onto JQBX. I really want to have Gap escort me through the album.

I said that mostly in jest, it looks like it will be occurring during it's *official* month in 2020
