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

I once sold a turntable to Pete Wiggs.

Currently listening to: Satan Loves You by The Photographers

yesterday it was a bit of:

Add N TO (X) - Loud Like Nature

Japan - Gentlemen Take Polaroids

Today it's been:

Simple Minds - Empires And Dance

Savoy Grand "People and What They Want" - this band is rapidly becoming one of my all-time favourites.

Some wonderfully loopy A-Ha demos.

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds "Your Funeral My Trial"

Paul Berry - Slow Motion Pictures

I have just noticed that Paul's first album (Parallel) is now available on the Amazon MP3 site for £3.99, which I think is less than elsewhere. I'm tempted

All this week I’ve been rediscovering Dead Can Dance.

I mostly ignored them first time around, but I’ve now splurged out on three remastered excellent 80’s albums: Spleen And Ideal, Within The Realm Of A Dying Sun, and The Serpents Egg. They really play well together, and have unexpectedly become a fantastic gothic soundtrack to this week of snow and frozen atmosphere while I'm passing through the historic parts of the town here.

Now you need to buy 'Aion', 'Into The Labyrinth', 'Toward The Within' & 'Spiritchaser'. All wonderful albums. I can never pick a favourite DCD album, although their first album is a bit ropey, production wise.

Brendan Perry has a new album released this year called 'Ark'.

Our very own Robin Harris & Birdsong are DCD fans too.

Im a big DCD fan too. Serpents Egg and Aion have gotta be faves. I also have a live album which is a bit good. You know those limited run ones they did a few years ago?

Yes indeed - although I found the 'best of' Wake really didn't cut it for me.

Spleen and Ideal is one of my all-time favourite albums, and The Serpents Egg is up there too.

Less convinced about Aeon personally, as it is verging into 'world music' territory which is where I start to lose interest.
Excellent, innovative band nonetheless with a worthy Foxx connection via John Bonnar

Didn't know that! What is the connection, Martin?

I've probably missed something really obvious here.

Not obvious at all.

But then John Foxx never is
