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

Been playing Numan all afternoon (while working)thank Appleness for Ipod. 'Berserker' and 'Strange Charm', okay only middle albums but well in need of being remastered.

Lol.
I'm so NOT with this whole Numan thing.

Lately I've been rummaging among the roots of electronica.
Post-operative psychedelia is a fascinating place:-

Tonto's Expanding Head Band
Bo Hansson's - Lord of the Rings (1972)
Amon Duul II - Made in Germany

And that...

Followed by a couple of 'oldies' -
The Man from O.R.G.A.N. - Dick Hyman
The House of Bamboo - Earl Grant

It's alright, my friend Jack's with me...

I'm ALWAYS playing Numan stuff.

But I'm a "born-again" Numanoid.
Lost touch around "I Assassin", then picked it up again with Sacrifice. Anything in-between doesn't count. I'm not unique, and Numan himself doesn't play stuff from THAT period either..
I love the later stuff, PURE, CRAZIER, HYBRID, JAGGED, ARTIFICIAL PERFECT....

Same thing with Foxx, I never really went further than METAMATIC (and it was years after it's release that I got the album: thanks Jill)
Then nothing again until Overpass. Then it was Foxx/Gordon ever since.

Maybe it's because both artists have returned to doing what they do best?

Today I'm actually listening to other peoples music again, after finishing my own album. Since that album is in swedish and ment for kids but still containing the best pop/rock/dance/synth music me and my co-writers can write, it will be something you lot will never hear.

At the moment I'm playing my favorite game (no not the song) but what three I should bring to a deserted island. Even though I'm not to fond on nostalgia (I don't diny my eightes teenage period either) after testing my three songs that I would bring if it happned today are

1 David Bowie - Heroes (Always)

2 Ultravox - Slowmotion

3 The Church - Unguarded Movement


What would you bring?

MARC ALMOND - STARDOM ROAD!!!!

No-one has ever done kitsch and melodrama as well as Marc Almond. This is a superbly crafted album of tenderness, passion and all things that sparkle in the dirt.
Listening to this in the dark for the first time last week, I must confess… I cried

The last track, Redeem Me is one of his own, a classic blend of despair and hope.

So, so good to know that he is still with us.

And the 'micro-site' is a good idea too:

Today it's 'Another Day on Earth' by Brian Eno.

My Desert Island Selection (today) would be;

1. The Garden

2. Brilliant Trees

3. Another Green World

Ask me tomorrow though and it'll be completely different!
