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

Dedicated the afternoon to an artiste who by the law of averages I shouldn't like since I find both Dylan and Van Morrison bog standard and as dull as dishwater In addition to this I can't abide Springsteen OK Bruce your Daddy worked in a car factory and had a hard life , no need to take revenge on society with endless albums full of pedestrian lumpen rock which constantly harks on about the fact Anywat his music apparantly contains similarities to all three
In addition this guy don't do synth and yet I think he's excellent Step forward the prototype Elvis Costello who I saw supporting THIN LIZZY eons ago at Liverpool Stadium Ladies and gentlemen , please give it up for ...
MR GRAHAM PARKER and his first three albums
HOWLING WIND
HEAT TREATMENT
STICK TO ME
ADDENDUM Apolologies for not mentioning his sterling back- up band THE RUMOUR So Brindsley Schwarz and co if you happen to be reading this sorry boys !

Presently listening to Agnes Obels Philharmonics album and trying to decide if I should change me plans and go see her gig in Glasgow this coming Thursday (I was originally planing to visit that city this Wednesday) - dunno if I can face the late trip back or the hours involved - on that point, John's recent Glasgow gig should have seen me get home way after 2.30am, but the early finish got me catching all the last connections and home instead by half past midnight, so I'd only partially turned into a pumpkin!


Came across this last night, wow, I so want this music on disc, but a fruitless search online reveals that there's no CD distribution to our shores for the album, also there's supposed to have been a 2nd? album 'I'm The Little Bunnyman' out in September, its all very annoying indeed -

Sleep Party People (aka Brian Batz): A Dark God Heart (absolutely beautiful at the 1.24 mark) -

Its been quite a laid back evening for me, and its started raining outside which has added to the calm, think I'm heading for an early bedtime soon having just spent the last couple of hours with some appropriately hypnotic and trippy sounds -
Tim Hecker - Ravedeath 1972:

also, two other albums which both dropped through the post this week, Far East Family Band - Nipponjin, and I'm really digging (excuse the hippy vibe I'm channeling here) the obvious Pink Floyd and Moody Blues style of FEFB:

Ultravox - Ha! Ha! Ha!

Feelin' noisy :-)

Ultravox - Three Into One

Jean Michel Jarre - Essentials and Rarities

Spooky! I've just logged on here and I'm presently playing Jean Michel Jarre myself - Oxygene.

(earlier it was a totally different soundscape with Grimes - Halfaxa)

Top choice Tek lad ! The best thing Big Den has ever done music wise .
DISTANT SMILE still gives me shivers nearly 35 years on

GOOOORRR STEVE !

A good choice, an album I find both terrifying and relaxing, if that is possible.
