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

Will do! I'm embarrassed to admit that it wasn't that long ago that I found out that King's Lead Hat is an anagram of 'Talking Heads'! I'm also stuck on 'Taking Tiger Mountain (by Strategy)' at the moment as well -

We are the 801!
We are the central shaft!

Looking for a certain ratio
Someone must have left it underneath the carpet
Looking up and down the radio
Oh, oh, nothing there this time
Looking for a certain ratio
Someone said they saw it parking in a car lot
Looking up and down the radio
Oh, oh, nothing there this time
Going back down to the rodeo
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, here we go!

Bliss!

Klaxons: Myths of Near Future

finally got around to getting this one (it was on the cheap-ish ).

I love this period of Eno.

Before and After Science has the very wonderful 'Backwater' on it too, if I remember? My son loves that song!

Ooh what to do
In my tiny canoe...

or something. :rolleyes:

Playing some US rock from Gretchen today.

I've just picked up the first and last Morrissey albums in the local HMV sale.
The first I have on vinyl, but this is the 1997 re-issue with bonus tracks. Should be good.

As for the latest album Ringleader of the Tormentors (the Tony Visconti production) I have heard good things but remain to be convinced.

In common with Björk, the almighty Moz has a unique place in my collection. I look forward to each release and faithfully buy them all, telling myself that the last album was 'OK' but this one will be better. They always somehow fail to meet my expectations and I experience familiar disappointment every time.

Why is that? It's only these two artists I think that this applies to.
Neither has yet released an album that I am as impressed with as I want to be, but I still have to have them. Exceptions are probably Medúlla and Vauxhall and I.

So actually, this music-I -haven't-listened-to-yet-but-will-in-a-minute... :p

Hi Gavin

Sadly (for us) it seems Mark Hollis retired shortly after releasing "Mark Hollis". It would be great to see him do another record but I think it is unlikely. I don't think he needs the money or the hassle (or even the credibility).

Luckily, his influence lives on in all manner of bands, from Radiohead to Bark Psychosis to Bed(some French guy mainly, but singing in English) to the whole post-rock scene.

Other Talk Talk members are still active, including Mark's songwriting partner Tim Friese-Greene as Heligoland. Paul Webb made an album with Beth Gibbons (Portishead), Lee Harris appeared on the last Bark Psychosis record. Webb and Harris also made a couple of (very interesting, out there) records as 'O'Rang.

Thanks for The Blue Nile recommendations - I will start with these.

cheers
Mark

Heh! I wouldn't put it past EMI to do something so shady - ask Talk Talk! Their back catalogue is a nightmare! Hopefully though, they'll leave the god-like genius of Sylvian & Co well alone.

I'm currently listening to the all singing, all dancing, gigantic, transatlantic remaster of which finally turned up yesterday
