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

Kate Bush - Aerial.

I feel strangely drawn to this album now, having 'liked' it but never been truely convinced.
Just shows how much mood and circumstances and time effect one's appreciation of music

That's a great album Martin. Not as good as The Red Shoes though & hopefully we won't have to wait as long for a follow up.

Sparks No.1 in Heaven

Japan - Quiet Life first thing this morning, then Conrad Schnitzler - Conal, followed by Imogen Heap - Ellipse, now it's Telex - Neurovision from 1980 (including a track called Tour de France .. mmmm)

Oooooooh! Telex! Nigh on impossible to find any Telex stuff over here (believe me I've tried)

Moskow Diskow...and..er...that's about it...

Used to have 'Neurovision' + another one called 'Birds & Bees', I think.

Spinning Numan again today: -

Tubeway Army - 'Tubeway Army'

Three of Kevin Ayers's from the mid-seventies:

'The Confessions Of Dr Dream'
'Sweet Deceiver'
'Yes We Have No Mananas'

And...

Simple Minds - 'Empires And Dance'. Easy to forget what a bloody interesting band they once were because of their stadium rock years.

quite!
this morn it's been:
Heaven 17 - The Luxury Gap / remastered
Royskopp - The Understanding
John Lennon / Yoko Ono - Double Fantasy

Saint Etienne Foxbase Alpha (Deluxe Edition), The Sound of Water (Deluxe Edition), Leftfield Rhythm & Stealth...and an unhealthy amount of New Order, Donna Summer and Sparks

Apollo Four Forty: High On Your Own Supply.
and, Gravity Wheel: Bulldogtunawasp, (rock/electro, Big Beat style group who made a great debut album, and then promptly disappeared)
- Haven’t listened to either of these CD’s for many years, both were languishing for a while in a bag due for a trip to a charity shop, but giving them another spin I found that I still get quite a lot from them, and they are now rescued.


Howard Devoto: Jerky Versions Of The Dream
Luxuria: Beast Box
