A bit of David Sylvian before work all last week.

Everything & Nothing
Gone To Earth
Camphor (disc 1)

In the car

Marilyn Manson - Mechanical Animals

I've just bought Instinct by Swedish band Niki and the Dove. Lots of interesting production and electronic pop with a wonderful Kate Bush style vocal.

Tangram by Reso

I'm sat here in me "Maillot Jane" with a string of onions round my neck and smoking a Gauloise ciggy , thinking about Le Tour De France and listening to
TRUST TRUST*
TRUST TRUST*
MARCHE OU CREVE TRUST

How do I describe these gallic cats or chats even ? Les Precheurs Maniques de la Rue ? Basically as if Nicky Wire and James Bradfield had translated their lyrics into French and got AC/DC to supply the riffs


They are "Le Clash" It's ok to like as Bernie Bonvoisin and his "Amis" come from the sink estates of Nantes unlike fake Mockney agit prop rock merchant Joe Strummer

*in terms of lack of imagination they are worse then Queen and Led Zep Even the other two bands remembered to add the number 2 to their respective second albums
Anyway don't take my word for it , listen for yourselves (I've probably written similar before Apologies if so I can't be bothered trawling back Warning to non- francophones some bits of interviews in the middle of the song)

French Rockets

just come across this band (seemingly no CD album release for them yet). I would have put this in the 'new(ish sort of) music you've found' thread but I've tried searching with no luck (I'm sure we had such a thread?)

love the promo, cheesy foreign TV show meets daft punk video effects -

John Foxx & Louis Gordon - The Drive EP

I've gone far too long without listening to this little masterpiece. One of John's finest moments.

I'd agree with that.

Thanks - I need to play it again.

Underwater Dream Sex usually gets in my All Top Foxx Top Three

System 7 - Power Of Seven

Great band.

Been listening this week mostly to Norwegian producer Lindstrom's retro disco meets lounge-style dance 2008 album 'Where You Go I Go Too'. Influences throughout include Jean Michel Jarre, Kraftwerk, and Space's Magic Fly, with some cheesy preset handclaps thrown in for kitsch effect.
Final part from this continuous 3 track album, The Long Way Home:
