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

Dick Hyman - The Age of Electronicus



Some Earl Grant too and other cool wax.
Nancy Sinatra earlier too :p

My kids love this kind of stuff.

What a scary cover image!!

Isn't it great

The music is just the same...

Brian Eno & David Byrne - My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts

Joy Division: Closer

Joy Divisions' Heart and Soul box set. Pleasant to find an early version of Atmosphere titled Chance.

Some early Duran Duran concerts and a compilation of b sides Besides Ourselves . Up to 1984 their b sides were quite impressive.

Also got a copy of Erasure's Abbaesque in time for Christmas and some ABBA stuff. Wife's persuasion here! :rolleyes:

Radiobeach mentioned that box set also. I have never seen that one in the stores. I just purchased the box sets of Closer, Still, and Unknown Pleasures.

Duran Duran - Red Carpet Massacre

Best DD album since... 'Rio' perhaps.

Really? That is good to hear since Rio was my fave DD album.

Rio is a really good album, although I prefer their debut.

I thought Astronaut was probably the best, or at least the most Duran Duran album since Notorious.

Liberty and the whole load of varied and somewhat unusual, and very unsuccessful albums they released in the 90s were getting gradually less Duran-like. I think they got it back together with Astronaut, and the majority of Red Carpet Massacre kind of follows on from there.

Personally I prefer Astronaut, but it didn't offer anything new, which is what RCM does. It is a very modern, contemporary sounding album, and Simon LeBon has never sounded better!

I downloaded bonus track "Cry Baby Cry" from iTunes and it's a killer.
