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

I love this album too. One of the better 'best of' collections. And a good title too
Manson is seriously underestimated and I agree about the covers. His version of Tainted Love especially is one of the few to rival soft cell's own interpretation. Thanks for the reminder
I've played "Holywood" and "Smells Like Children" this year too.

Another musician who's discovered the future is in film-making I think?

I got the cd/dvd combo but I was disappointed that the video for Personal Jesus was not included.

Funny you mentioned about film making. His videos are what got me to pay attention to his music. Great images( in a grotesque and unforgiving way) that stay with you.

I have The Smells Like Children one but have not played it in years. Thanks for reminding me.

MM is not really my cup of blood, but i liked that last single whatever it was called. Heard it blasting out in Virgin, and remember thinking 'this is the first MM song i instantly liked'.

Was that the Heart Shaped Glasses song ?
The one that was heavily promoted with his girlfriend Evan Rachel Wood. Video with her in it also.

Dave Gahan - Hourglass

It was indeed


Now playing, Ultravox - 'The Collection' dvd

Currently playing a Ha! Ha! Ha!

Confirmation that I really don't like early 'vox!!

That one took a long time to grow on me as well.

Have to be in a really punky mood to listen to it.

Hmm. My general hatred of punk gets in the way a bit there!

I only think of Johns three Ultravox albums as some of the most classic and important albums ever recorded. With SOR being on a par with 'The Garden' and 'Metamatic'.

Played today Gary Numan - 'Fragment 1' dvd
Not a classic release but great performance though.
