Something to get me ready for Tuesdays gig; Wonky Orbital

Can anyone recommend the best 'Best Of' album, theres 3? As all my vintage Orbital is on vinyl.

Dalis Car - In Gladaloneness

A fantastic end to Micks life.

Ever get that moment when for no apparent reason a tune just pops into your head from out of the blue and you cant stop 'hearing' it.
I just had to share this one:

Oh yes. I get that often.

Hence I have just purchased and am now enjoying The Boomtown Rats debut album more than I even did first time round.

Far better musicianship than I was able to appreciate as a teenager. And even better is that I know how good the follow up is a s well!

Nice one Mart Got me to revisit that fine album again What can one say about "The Ballad Of Joey " ? You could leave a thousand Bruce Springsteens in a room for a million years with instruments at their disposal and they'd never get anywhere near it I shall then listen to "TONIC FOR THE TROOPS" more sterling stuff I was in Dublin 3 weeks ago and Fond memories of THE RATS ans THIN LIZZY came flooding back Seen them both live back in the day and never less than excellent On the negative side the same city also produced U2 but never mind ...

Nice. I would love to have seen the Rats, but sadly I am considerably too young... ;-D

Picked up the first three albums for a tenner on the weekend and they are all quite superb.
On the debut, which is very much 'of its time' I can hear bits of Wide Boys in the Neon Heart

It's all swaggery, arrogant in yer face attitude - but cleverly crafted and squeaky tight. All prompted by an interview I just read with Simon Crowe in Vive le Rock magazine, recounting the well-known (?) story of how Rat Trap was added as an album filler when they only had 32 minutes of material recorded or something

Snow Borne Sorrow Nine Horses
Wonky Orbital
Don't Think Chemical Brothers

All on repeat, great albums.

I'm particularly enjoying the couple of free tracks that have been made available from Blue Nile frontman Paul Buchanan's debut solo album. Click the free download button on the link below to download.
