listening to the pleasures of electricity again, this is so good... travel, what a song!

I haven't listened to 'The Pleasures of Electricity' in a while - will have to give it a listen tonight.

Today it's 'Tiny Colour Movies'

This morning, I had an old student-days tape on.

Joy Division (She's lost control), B.A.D. (Good Technology), the Cure (Funeral Party), D.A.F.(The Mussolini), The Passage (Something about Freckles?), Sisters of Mercy (After hours), and gawd-knows-what-else...

Who did "A new dark age"? and "Trapped in a maze of mesh and lace" (probably not the correct title..)

"Trapped in a maze of mesh and lace" if the chorus goes something like "I'll stop the world and melt with you" then it's 'Melt With You' by Modern English (4AD) - Nouvelle Vague did a cover that was on a mobile phone ad last year.

The Sisters! I loved The Sisters! 'Afterhours' just burns...

OMD did 'The New Dark Age' but not the one on your studenty tape methinks.

Both ace CDs from Wolfsheim, Spectators and Casting Shadows.

Currently listening to The Golden Age Of Wireless by Thomas Dolby. Some timeless synth tunes here.

Most definitely !!

that's so true, but why can't they reissue it with the proper tracklisting???

I have both vinyl editions of the album with the different tracklistings. What's odd about them for me is with just a few changes to the tracks and the running order, just how different they both sound in comparison to each other. The 'Fairchild' edition seems much more quiet than the poppier, punchy ‘Science’ edition. Silly I know!

Today I'm listening to 'Becoming X' by Sneaker Pimps; co-incidentally another album that got a poppier make-over and re-issue shortly after having a hit. I'm listening to the original version of the album as the band intended it to be heard.

No! NOT Nouvelle Vague again...
