Hymns Just been listening to KD LAngs Hymns from the 49th Parallel - and it was a very enjoyable experience. She sings other Canadian artists songs with a sincerity and freshness that draws\ me back, time and again to this album. There are so many fantastic songs on it and each done in a different way from the original - excellent, higly recommended to Neil Young, Leonard Cohn and Joni Mitchel fans
Hendirx - are you experienced Familly all out , neighbours on holiday, cats cowering upstairs , and I am listening at volume levels that would impress and possibly frighten Jimi. Is there any better way. Alby :guitar:
Firebird - Deluxe Classic 70's style retro rock, with Bill Steer, who is more famous for extreme metal bands, such as Napalm Death and Carcass. For those lucky enough to be south of the border (and interested), a few dates in December. Rock on!
Talk Talk - the Colour of Spring (vinyl). Been having a bit of a Talk Talk couple of days actually - yesterday was The Spirit of Eden & It's My Life. In fact the blurred lp label in my avatar is It's My Life
here's one to show off a good system; otto by fluke- (electronica) should be in everyone's collection when making tunes this is what we aimed for.....the best production i've ever heard, huge soundstage, nubelievable bass (sic) and just so clean and crisp. funky techno, industrial dub funk, call it what you like cos it's one of them that falls between the usual (and even the unusual) catergories they had talent aplenty and a desk to die for. apparently it's in use in nw london somewhere if you want to show your partner/friends where all the money's been going, this ought to do it good for the odd out of body experience too.........:MILD:
Was: The Immortal Lee County Killers II - Love Is A Charm Of Powerful Trouble. Fantastic rip-roaring scuzzy blues. Is: Peter Gabriel - S/T. It's been 28 years since I last heard this (I lost interest in Genesis and co. at the time). Pity, it's a very good album. Thanks David.
for the gabriel noobs i recommend gabriel four, and the music for the last temptation of christ- another hi-fi odyssey you'll be picking the sand out of your carpet after that one!
Another dcathro cast-off - Blondie - Parallel Lines. Cracking end of seventies pop/rock album. Debbie certainly had a great voice for the material and there are some good guitar tones there as well.
After seeing Paul Buchanan this week rediscovering 'A Walk Across The Roof Tops' & 'Hats', superb. Also Aretha Live At The Fillmore West, now if only Warners would get their digit out from their rear end and get the RHCP 'Stadium Arcadium' out
The Doors - Waiting For The Sun Not one of their best, but one I didn't have previously. Some good stuff on there though.
Bizarrely enough, Quo - Live Although perhaps not bizarre at all, as pre-Rocking All Over The World, Quo were a barroom boogie band par excellence! My first gig was seeing the (at the time) mighty Quo at the location of the live album recording, the long gone Glasgow Apollo, when they toured the live album. My recollection as a fifteen year old who had barely heard any rock music outside of tv shows, was WOW! this is goooood. Things change, you grow up, you move on, but you never forget how good your gig was (unless it was crap). This album kind of brought some of that back.
Slipped on Annie Lennox – Diva, last night. Why and Walking on Broken Glass, are my favourites. I love the way Walking on Broken Glass projects itself, the beat, the rhythm and the way in which Annie Lennox sings really makes for a wonderfully written song. It is fast then slow, leaving you in anticipation for the next beat before it explodes again.
