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

Continuing on with Tears for Fears.... the classics The Hurting and Songs From The Big Chair. Could do without the bonus tracks, though.

Queen - 'A Day At The Races'. Classic!!

Marvin the Paranoid Android, "Metal Man", genius!

It is certainly their best one.

I have recently acquired Hysteria, which is, well, hysterical. But there are some good tracks.

Crash is, well, a bit of a car crash, but still I like it.

I secretly like Secrets too.

I am presently in the middle of watching The Very Best of The Human League dvd.

What can I say ?

And I'm revisiting a less familiar Eno album Taking Tiger Mountain whereon he is pretending to be Julian Cope

I think it was during the sessions for this album, one of his most absurd 'lyrical' works, that Eno developed his Oblique Strategies.
It's certyainly bizarre enough and goes in many diferenet directions at the same time.
It's well worth bearing with because I too find the first three or four tracks a little ridiculous and then you play these again at the end because the album gets so good, and realise in fact that The Fat Lady of Limborg atc, and especially Mother Whale Eyeless bear the hallmarks of a creative genius.
Contains also the very wonderful Third Uncle, effectively covered and turned 'into their own' by Bauhaus

The first of Bowie's berlin trilogy 'Low' was on the spinner today.

Heaven 17: How Men Are

not so good as the other two

Quite a Sheffield evening in NY M.

I wouldn't normally do this, but I wanted to share a moment of magic with you all.

Two of my favourite artists together, performing my current favourite song, in Spain.
Baby Dee's song is stunning enough in itself, but Marc Almond gives it an indescribable beauty.
