Giving them a try now! Never heard of them before, but from the samples so far, its a good feel. If it was not for John's C.O. trilogy, i would never of listened to 'ambient' style music. These guys seem to take it in what id call a traditional direction, but its good stuff though.

I can understand that. I was addicted to that album for years, when it was released.

In contrast, I only picked up Metamatic years later. [/b]
Ahhh! laugh
These two albums will always be linked together in my memory.
Bought them as a pair, after reading reviews about them.
It was the BOMB for me. cool Never heard popmusic that sounded so velvet and strange yet familiar. Butter ...

Yes, know what you mean, you can't compare them to Biosphere for example. I've got one album of BOC that's called 'Music has the right to children'. It's a bit weird and I'm totally hooked on it! smile

Systems Of Romance in the car earlier. I must admit, I haven't played it for a while. I'd forgotten how brilliant it is! Perfect for a sunny day. cool

Glad you like it Newvox - The Campfire Headphase is probably the easiest BoC album to listen to, however many reckon Geogaddi is their best, most of it was clearly recorded around the same time as Music Has The Right To Children.

Today I'm kicking off with Geogaddi and then moving on to The Chemical Brothers Surrender.

Simple Minds' Graffiti Soul. Worth the money for "This Is It" and "Moscow Underground" alone!

Ryuichi Sakamoto - Playing The Piano Live Tokyo 29th April 09


Going to see him in Edinburgh in December. Thanks to Paul I managed to download this from itunes Japan to get me in the mood. It's great. I think the man is a genius on the piano & Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence still sounds excellent. Lay out in the garden sunbathing this morning listening to it. So relaxing. Can't wait for the concert now.

Yes, BoC and Biosphere are two of many groups ive not listened to before, at least not to the degree i should have. Heard their names but never the music much. Interesting how the Biosphere track 'Ballerina' has signs of Human League's - 'The Dignity Of Labour'.

Yesterday it was A Secret Life, on a beautiful and very hot day, I was inspired to play it as all morning at home I could hear the faint clanging sounds of construction work going on in the distance, not played it for some time, so it was great to hear it again, still a close favourite for my top album release from John so far this year.
I’ve moaned in the past about its 36min duration, but it’s Just the right length for listening to at lunchtime before shooting off out to work, so ASL really is the audio snack you can enjoy between meals smile

Today it was a Can compilation sent to me from a friend, so I’ve been enjoying the Suzuki years, and thanks to the forum members for mentioning the albums in previous posts, got me wanting to hear more.
