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

Yep, there'll be some Foxx for me too later.

I'm deliberately trying not to work this weekend. I have a 'day job' that keeps me busy week days, but then I find that I'm working on music for Spectral Response in the evenings and weekends -which I love - but sometimes you gotta have a break!

Yes, John Foxx blastin out of the CD player whilst I'm driving to town for a bit of retail therapy for me this arvo!

Yes, it is a sunday.
I am having my morning coffee now and listening to Billie Holiday: The Original Decca Recordings 1944-1950.

Good shout - some nice alternative early versions on there. Genetic Engineering particularly good

We have some music ground in common Maryann. I also got the same Billie Holiday collection from time to time I get lost in it.

Bosse: I believe that there is always a place for the blues and jazz, no matter what.


This afternoon I listened to Etta James.

Yes its a great album. And even though its session tracks, because its chrono order it reflects the progression of the first three studio albums.

Just to be a real OMD anorak Newvox it actually traces the first two albums, skips Arch & Moral (too "mainstream for J Peel) and then picks up again on Dazzle Ships (4th album). I'll never understand why they left off a great version of Bunker Soldiers done in the last session in 1983; I still only have a dodgy cassette recording.

Back on topic: listening to :
New Musik - Collection (I think it's a bootleg)

Very diplomatic!

"Audiofile six" sounds very like Plaza..

So it does. I thought there was quite a gap between dates.

So far today, Japan - 'Oil On Canvas' (live dvd with a few bonus videos, so i think virgin are saying there will be no 'singles dvd' release).

dead right ! ..what's so PC about it?
