Any idea which album Brilliant most resembles? Or is it a mix of the "first" four (I'll assume it doesn't sound too much like U-Vox ...).

Just been given a heads up on Plushgoolash - Soup Tennis

http://chinstrapmusic.blogspot.co.uk/2011/07/chin25-plushgoolash-soup-tennis.html

Which is new to me and rather good

Difficult to break down but here goes:-

0% Uvox
5% Lament on the slower tracks
30% Vienna
30% Rage
10% Quartet
25% New/other/Kraftwerk :-)

I only got my copy yesterday so early days.

Brian

I think you've nailed it pretty much, I'm on my 3rd listen. Trying not to describe it as its title!

NORTHERN DREAM BILL NELSON Me brother's birthday present ( Alongside ESSENTIAL YELLO and LATE NIGHT MOVIES ALL NIGHT BRAINSTORMS ; DOCTORS OF MADNESS) has arrived a couple of days early and after 37 years I've finally gotten to hear it It's interesting to hearing The Admiral nailing his statement of intent and (futuristic) manifesto to the mast On first hearing I recognised many riffs , hooks and chords from AXE VICTIM the most obvious being JET SILVER(AND THE DOLLS OF VENUS) and what would become ADVENTURES IN A NORTHERN LANDSCAPE the incredible SISTER SEAGULL (from FUTURAMA) end sequence is there too
Many happy memories flooded back listening to it
Well that's my monthly contribution and a musical one to boot Fear not I'll be back with a Tour de France update next month Au revoir Les Foxxheads !
Btw Where has everyone disappeared to of late ? There's more life in a Mexican desert pueblo !
