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

I have also come to appreciate "Drift Music" more and more over the years. I first played it the morning after my first Foxx gig (Bristol 2003), walking back through a strange city to catch the first train to eventually go to work. An intensely sensual experience in the pre-dawn but I only heard the first five tracks or so that morning and on subsequent plays I tended to "drift" thereafter. Nowadays it still has that first memory but also so much more besides.

School of Seven Bells Alpinisms (Special Edition) . I’d heard about this album but not heard it and so I picked it up last night on the strength of its beautiful sleeve design alone.

A suprising and recommended purchase, I can only describe it (as someone else described it) as ‘Prog Synth-Pop’ – Imagine the girls from Marsheaux mixing it up with Neu! and Tangerine Dream and you’re somewhere towards where the heart of this album lies.

thanks for posting the link RadioBeach, its a lovely title, and certainly got me interested, maybe theres some samples on itunes that I'll be able to check out later.

Hi Core,

They really are worth checking out - you can listen to some stuff on their MySpace site - http://www.myspace.com/schoolofsevenbells

Enjoy!

The Future & The Human League - 'The Golden Hour Of The Future'

Cabaret Voltaire - 'Methodology - The Attic Tapes'

Yep. My head is stuck in Sheffield, 74-79...

Its on my wish list now! (having checked out myspace/itunes).
The singing’s just a tad girly at times, but I love Alpinisms dreamy electro/lounge/shoegaze beat, it’s certainly welcome at my home any time.

I think its now going to turn into a Goldfrapp: Seventh Tree meets Thievery Corp: Cosmic Game kind of morning for me, just need the birds to sing and the sun to come out, followed by the arrival of Spring

Good call on School of Seven Bells.Liking it.

Yesterday was Radiohead:In Rainbows. Ive had the since last year but only realised what a brilliant album this is.

Today its BoC:The Headphase Campfire.

...again! I really must move out of there soon myself! PS - Will PM you soon - HONEST!

Hi guys!

Glad you’re liking SVIIB! Sadly the sun didn’t come out for me today – I’ve been listening to Saint Etienne’s Tiger Bay and now I’m off to visit My Lost City

I visited My Lost City this morning. I Crashed and Burned after that and it left me with a Jagged Edge.

This morning started off with Thievery Corporation: Versions.
Haven’t played this for a very long time, it quickly dawned on me why, although there’s a few atmospheric/lounge songs here and there, many tracks are just bland café background, and the album never really takes off, and without wishing to offend any Nouvelle Vague fans on the forum the NV cover on Versions of ‘This Is Not a Love Song’ is dire, we should start a new thread called ‘Worst Cover Versions’.

All of this soon gave way to more serious stuff and a mystical album double bill of Dead Can Dance: The Serpents Egg, and My Lost city.

Now playing the Cocteau Twins: Heaven Or Las Vegas album, great poppy tracks and beautiful songs: Road, River, And Rail…
