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

Good call M, still a regular on my playlist too.

For me today, just one album Japan's - 'Very Best Of'.

All the albums from Bill Nelson's 'Trial By Intimacy' box set.

The Summer of God's Piano
Chamber Of Dreams (Music For The Invisibility Exhibition)
Pavillions of the Heart and Soul
A Catalogue Of Obsessions

plus my all time favourite album of Bill's:

Sounding The Ritual Echo

John Foxx : 'Mysterious Way' - my own compilation of 'the best of' the three post-metamatic solo albums...

Foxx/Gordon - Shifting CIty

You wouldn't say that if it was the ONLY tape in the car, and you'd been listening to it for a year..

Ulrich Schnauss :Goodbye

Long drive home last night and a chance to indulge in some volume and cathartic 'shout/singing' with

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds remarkable album Dig, Lazarus, Dig!

It's edgy, twisted, sophisticated, odd, lewd, rude, psychotic, fierce, old-fashioned, quirky, tender and utterly brilliant. New songwriting partner Warren Ellis has bought a whole new dimension to an already impressive canon.
If only everyone could age with as much inspiration, elegant determination and immature confidence as Cave (and Foxx).

Album of the year for me, bar none.
Stand out tracks in particular are the opening title, We call upon the author to explain, the sermonic(??) Jesus of the moon and the wonderful, haunting closer More News From Nowhere which must be among the best tracks Cave has ever written.

Amen

Ladyhawke's new album arrived yesterday so I have that on

Roisin Murphy - Overpowered

Midge Ure: Answers To Nothing
