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

Blancmange 'Happy Families'

Thompson Twins - 'Quick Step & Side Kick'. Underrated one this. They're remembered in most circles as being frothy, but on this first album of theirs as a threesome the non-singles have a tougher edge and are all as good as or better than the singles.

Gary Numan - tracks from Jagged Edge, Exile, I, Assassin, Telekon, The Pleasure Principle.

Beastie Boys Paul's Boutique

It's Immaterial - Life's Hard and Then You Die

sort of midway between the folk/synth-pop of fellow 'pudlians China Crisis and the eccentricity of, say, The Associates. Many will remember the hit 'Driving Away from Home'. Best track: 'Ed's Funky Diner'

Muslimgauze - The Inspirational Sounds Of Muslimgauze.

Compilation put together by 'Zion Train'. I forgot how some of my stuff is influenced by the late Bryn Jones.

All of his tracks were recorded on reel to reel & then mixed to DAT. The sound quality is incredible.

Marc Almond "Stranger Things"
Billy MacKenzie "Beyond the Sun"

Both very welcome as the sun melts the snow.

The Best Of Blur.

Well . after this evening's events it will be
DAVID BOWIE: HEROES
and
GABRIELLE : DREAMS
plus
PERRY COMO MAGIC MOMENTS
and
THE MIGHTY WAH: THE STORY OF THE BLUES

on a continual loop !

On the snowy-trudge to work in the just-pulled the
buses Brum?

MIRAGE: KLAUS SCHULZE

(Wintery synthi-sounscapes abound)

Still listening to Biosphere: Dropsonde
and now along with Monolake: Cinemascope

(and having to travel home on the bus late last night with a wet foot when my shoe got stuck and pulled off twice after taking a short cut across a snowbound park, really makes me hate this weather :rolleyes: )
