ooh the eighties .. I'm back again! (Altough technically ETS is 90s!)

"Many Happy Returns, Many Happy Returns!"

yup ! . .although actually I prefer Valentine's Day

"If you gave me a pound for all the moments I missed / and I got dancing lessons for all the lips I shoulda kissed / I'd be a millionaire / I'd be a Fred Astaire!"

...sheer poetry.

Found myself playing a lot of Suede over the last few weeks, Dog Man Star, Coming Up, Head Music but annoyingly I can't find my CD of their first album!



In one of those win some lose some CD buying situations I managed to finally get a cheap and not over-inflated (new) CD of Harmonia: Musik Von Harmonia, good stuff (been wanting to get it since Garry alerted our attention to the Krautrock programme on TV a few years back), it arrived same week as Royksopp: Junior, oh boy what a bad sounding album, the mastering on this is really terrible, no perspective at all, and draws attention to the weakness of many songs, after a few plays I couldn't bear hearing the dullness of it anymore.

Yes, the prices have come down somewhat - the vinyl editions also. For years, I wanted to get Cluster's Zuckerzeit, but the prices were eye-wateringly expensive back in the late 90s. The quality of the reissues is still murky though - especially the Neu! stuff - I've seen bootlegs of the first album resurface again - even though it's readily available as an official vinyl release with proper mastering.
