Travelogue remaster is excellent, Garry. Some people rate Reproduction higher than Travelogue, but I think Travelogue is a masterpiece.

My favourite double pack E.P. if all time is Holiday 80, which just pips John's No-One Driving dp/ep. Played it to death for ages when I bought it. The cover is brilliant also.

Been listening to, these on my Nanopod:

Siouxsie & The Banshees: Kaleidoscope
Dead Can Dance: Dead Can Dance
Aphex Twin: On ep.1
Miss Kittin: Requiem For A Hit/ Happy Violentine/The Masterplan/Neukoln/I Come.Com
Arcade Fire: Neon Bible

The track I Come.Com is jaw-droppingly out of this world astonishing brilliance!!

Arcade Fire: If you like Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, you may like this band. The singer sounds a lot like Ian Mcculloch from Echo & The Bunnymen & that's a good thing. This is a really strong album with great instrumentation. The mastering is really good on this. In a way that it doesn't sound loud, crisp & digitally clean. There's also a bit of a Tom Waits influence in there, too.

David Bowie has praised Arcade Fire, so he still has good taste in music.

'And futuristic sounds warbled off and oooo.on'

Agree: Travelogue remaster is excellent. Don't have the Sons & Fascination remaster tho..what's on it?

Siouxsie & The Banshees – I love that band – ‘Juju’ is my fave. Looking forward to re-issues of ‘Nocturne’ and ‘A Kiss In The Dreamhouse’ if/when they get round to releasing them.

I’ve not anything by Arcade Fire, I can recommend Klaxxons though – superb album. Haven’t heard Miss Kittin for ages!

Thanks Beach - seems similar to mine (non-remastered) off memory. The American... you can't get much better than that.

No you can't! Charlies wah-wah guitar solo near the end is better than eating ice cream!!

The drum rhythms are incredible, the keyboards sublime & the bass! THE BASS!! YUM!!!

What a unique vocalist Jim Kerr is, too. Love the way he wraps the words around each track. Is he a baritone?

Nice One Chris,I'm a huge fan of Billy's work,btw,you've got mail
Cheers

OK. I admit it. I got HIS surname wrong.
But I'm English. (ish). We don't do umlauts. So it's Brucken.

Similarly, we don't do French punctuation much either. So it's a Cafe, OK?

@ paul a.k.a. nervejam : i was only amused about the way u wrote paul's surname - that's all , m8 ! :-)

erm ... nope , not really ... as it has to be BRUECKEN to be correct ( & indeed very pedantic ;-) !

btw : my surname in german is JÜRß , but as it even contains 2 umlaute the international way to write it properly is JUERSS ! ;-)

i was once called in a hotel lobby in london years ago & the porter said "a phone call for mr. YOURB !" ... & i couldn't help myself & simply had to *lol* ! ;-)
since that time i always use the international way to write my name , when i'm not in a german speaking country ! :-)

cafe is okay , but i prefer cappuccino ! *hehehe*

cheers , m8 ! :-)

Shall we all just agree that’s she’s damn gorgeous and leave it at that?

Humphreys isn’t gorgeous but his ‘dancing-whilst-looking-over-the-balcony-into-the-distance’ in the Souvenir video is absolutely hilarious!

Speling alwais has and alwais will be a problem for Englishe speekers....can't even spel there own werds never mind forren ones.
