Metamatic Forums Socialising The Green Room What Music Are You Listening To ?

Agree with you Rob an excellent series of shows, 3rd show now available.

Prompted by a feature in the Mojo Pink Floyd special edition I've been inspired to check out the Psychedelic Rock Sound of Shin Joong Hyun: Beautiful Rivers And Mountains -

OMD Live In Berlin CD, really excellent!

I've recently discovered a band called Epic45 who have a lovely album out called "Weathering" at the moment. Their press release sums it up neatly thus;

"There is a long tradition of pastoral music capturing a quintessential Englishness, running from Vaughan Williams through the English folk tradition to more recent names like Robert Wyatt and Talk Talk. Further down this line you’ll find Epic45.”

Have a listen to the stand out track here;

David Bowie's 1.Outside. Again.

I rate 1.Outside as his best album.... well it's certainly my favourite Bowie album... closely followed by Earthling...

I'm afraid to say I haven't heard these albums yet. None in fact since Black Tie White Noise with the exception of the odd single. They keep getting mentioned here especially by Alex. I think a trip to the shops is in store this weekend.

I think you might be impressed Scott. I'd have a wee look on Amazon if I were you as they're both currently going for about 4 quid each...

Me too. I haven't actually played anything yet but I really like the artwork and anything that mentions Talk Talk gets my attention immediately! Some of their CDs seem to be limited/rare/expensive but downloads are available at normal prices.

Cheers Church Puddle, will be investigating this album, and right now listening online to and liking Your Wings Make You Fly:

Thanks for posting Herbert, I really enjoyed the track, so much so I've forwarded the link to a friend. The suggestion of a popular/alternative music with an elusive 'Englishness' conjuring up a faraway avenue of a pastoral land has captured my imagination since my youth, its an ideal that really strikes an emotional chord, not sure why its so potent, seeing as I'm Scottish, and nor was I exposed much to either classical or folk music while growing up, but in that passage from youth to adulthood John's Garden album was entirely to blame for consolidating forever a deep-rooted feeling for some lost green place.


Came back on a long distance bus journey last night and treated myself to a listen of the new Wooden Shjips album West, no secret that I'm a huge fan of both this band and mainman Ripley Johnson and his other band Moon Duo, and West is another winner for me. Was posting a youtube link to a friend and I spotted an amusing comment below the video by someone called 'cubangigolo' -
