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

Having something of a Bowie phase this weekend:

Lodger, The Buddha of Suburbia, Station to Station - I don't know any of these that well but I am certainly enjoying them. Young Americans is next.

Mike Oldfield: Tubular Bells

I'm having tissue-pop afternoon.

Excellent 'disposable' tunes from The Darling Buds and Transvision Vamp

Good call. 'Disposible' but brilliantly trashy.

Reliable 'Three Into One' was my choice this morning.

.....And how did you find the Bell's M?

I'm keeping my fingers crossed.


It's Engineers today. Quite a good concert, very entertaining from start to finish.

Gary may still have a few other live albums from his hey-day to release. There're still the concerts he did in 1982 and the Warriors Tour of 83. BB could call them Living Ornaments 82 and Living Ornaments 83.

Quite good given the year (1973 ) ; however the talking points I could have done without.

I have a feeling you wont need to, too tightly.

Well that was the first and regarded by most as hes best album M.

Im pleased to say that i got the new one on saturday, but its taking some getting used to.
Very Mike Oldfield in the arrangement etc but i cant get my ears round all this orchestra only stuff yet. Early days though......

Just watched the dvd which comes with the Jean Michel Jarre rereleased Oxygene cd, not the 3D one no...otherwise I wouldn't be typing this now
Really nicely done as well.
Great to see all this gear standing around...the non-action makes it a entertaining thing to see for me.

Finished Bowie with "Black Tie, White Noise", incredibly inconsistent, with IMHO an awful cover of "Nite Flights".

Made what feels a major discovery in Savoy Grand's "Burn The Furniture". Bed "The Newton Plum" is also a must-listen for Mark Hollis fans. Reviews seem to suggest The Blue Nile are also worth investigating. I have generally steered clear up to now but I will probably change my mind.

Marc Almond "Jacques" (thanks again Martin ).

And I cannot recommend Hayden's "In Field & Town" highly enough - a beautiful drawl of a voice singing beautiful/funny/sad lyrics. Album of 2008 so far for me.
