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

Okay, but believe me, he would understand.

Today has been A-Ha - 'Headlines And Deadlines', and Midge Ure - 'In New York' doddgy sounding boot.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cluster_(band)

Krautrock electronic band;

"Cluster has been widely influential, not only to ambient and electronic music artists, but to techno, electronica and popular music as well. Artists and groups who cite Cluster as an influence include Robert Rich, John Foxx (formerly of Ultravox), Alex Paterson of The Orb, and Coil."

Albums were recently re-issued and are now after some lengthy time, easily available

Yes, its felt like crawling on broken glass for years just to get to 'Sacrifice' onwards.

If you make a 'Best Of' cdr from '81 - '07 though, its surprising just how many great tracks are from this period. Now Foxx on the other hand, you would need a 50 pack of blank cdrs.....

There are a lot of fantastic tracks hidden away on albums such as I, Assassin, Berserker and The Fury. Especially the Fury.

You can easily choose 2 or 3 excellent tracks from everything after Dance, up to Outland.

Then once you get to Sacrifice and beyond, you're completely spoilt for choice.

So what do you all think? Should I go for one?

It's very ambient stuff, so if that's up your street - then yeah! 'Cluster & Eno' is a good place to start, or either of the compilation albums; ‘Begegnungen’ or ‘Begegnungen II’

Okay, thanks much Garry.

some eno tracks remind me of japan, especially "julie with".

as for numan, i've always liked 'dance' and 'i, assassin' is another excellent album. i even like 'warriors' although that's a bit different style...

Listened to DM: Enjoy the Silence (single mix, hands and feet mix and ricki tik tik mix) on the commute before.

Listening to Numan's Dance right now.

You just could'nt stop yourself from playing it, could you!!!! :rolleyes:
