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

Now and then I give Muse a listen but just don't get it. As an aside on Muse, they are opening for U2 at Giants Stadium.

Today I tried to listen to Jarvis Cocker but couldnt get through it.

Gary Numan Telekon Live in which Are 'Friends' Electric? has finally become the New Wave Bohemian Rhapsody it was destined to be! Superb.

Sounds like it was a great gig - I just wish he'd apply this sound (1980 souped up to 2080) instead of the Mickey-Marilyn-Manson-Mouse industrial that he's been (back)pedaling for the last 10 years or so, to new material then I might take more interest.

Kraftwerk - 'Kraftwerk 1' (Ruckzuck being classic early stuff).

I know what your saying Garry. A modern day 'Machine Music' Era.

Absolutely.

Many years ago I read of a rumour that Numan was to appear on an Underground Resistance or Aux 88 album - two artists who took what Numan did and really explored it in some brilliant and stunning ways.

It's an absolute shame that this never took off, I always hoped it would and that Numan could of realised the potential that his sound had even now, and perhaps explored it again himself.

he just heard "Songs of Faith & Devotion" and never looked back ... well, except for "nostalgia" tours, re-issues etc.

John Foxx - Metamatic 2 cd version. I haven't heard this album in it's entirety for over 20 years but it still sounds fresh. The 2nd cd has some great tracks too.

Later today: Green Day: Nimrod

Nirvana - 'With The Lights Out' (cd's box set of rarities, including a dvd too)

Quite a varied selection:

Stage - David Bowie
Nite Romantics/Carnival - Duran Duran
Rio - Duran Duran
The Ultimate Collection - Grace Jones
Wunderbar - Riechmann
The Singles - Japan
Ruido Blanco - Soda Stereo
Come Summer - Fra Lippo Lippi
Sulk - The Associates
Radio One Sessions Volume One - The Associates
