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

30th anniversary week of The Garden and we've had the most rare and amazingly beautiful weather today - warm, so very warm, blue skies and birds singing long into the evening, I was outside in a local park and could not believe that I was actually in Scotland and not transported to Italy or Spain, and amazingly tomorrow is the first day of October! So this evening I quickly put together ten tracks for listening to as it got dark (in no particular order):

Bibio's Cherry Blossom Road: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ng023HVmZXo
John and Benge's The Good Shadow
Odawas Song Of Recompense (came across the back catalogue of this band back in the spring, really fantastic, best find of the year)
Pocahaunted Time Fist
Mountains Add Infinity: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vBZrc4ZEYM
Neotropic Closer To The Sun
Tara Busch Third Speed Of Light
Lush Scarlet: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WabqpoziLbA
Alps Le Voyage
Sleeping Me Bleeding Riverbed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1u7je7XBPxg

I'm working my way through Pink Floyd's discography since picking up the Discovery boxset. I've only really been familiar with 73-78 era Floyd up until now, and it's really nice to be able to track the growth of the band through their music. I think the remasters do improve slightly on past releases, I'm currently up to Animals and it has never sounded so clear!

So much for the weather eh, we had the great sunshine one day and next day as soon as we got into the 1st of October we've had fog and heavy rain for 48 hours!

No relationship to the climate, but I'm in the mood for more Kraftwerk robotic aerobics:

Courtesy of Gary Hunters podcast thread I've been following up on his links, enjoying some late evening listening to a few artists featured on his show.
I'm particularly enjoying these, sweet at heart, and very enjoyable -

David Bowie - Hours

Steven Wilson - Grace For Drowning. Got Steven to sign my copy when he appeared in Glasgow last Thursday.

Erasure - Tomorrow's World. Agree with Gary. A poor album & to last just over 31 minutes made it even worse. Erasure have only made one good album in the last 20 years & that was the excellent "Cowboy". All the others are ok & have some good songs on each of them but I'm struggling to find one here.

Glad my shows are proving interesting especially for discovering new bands.

By the way the link has been put in this thread now to download the show, which should be ok now.

Scott Erasure have completely lost the plot with their new album. The new single didn't even make the top 100, not surprised as it is as awful as the album!!

David Sylvian - "Everything & Nothing". Got my ticket through for his Glasgow gig. This must be one of the best compilation albums out there.

Anathema - "Falling Deeper". This is close to "Interplay" for album of the year.

Tenek - EP2

A new release which has just arrived from Toffeetones. Tenek seem to be a band on the up.
