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

Tim Friese-Greene "10 Sketches for Piano Trio", Tim of course being the other half of the Hollis/Friese-Greene partnership within Talk Talk. I do not know how seriously this new record is intended to be taken. I laughed a couple of times and enjoyed it immensely.

Big Audio Dymanite - e=mc2

Forgot I had it, was browsing through my vinyls in the vague hope of actually sorting them!

My CD copy of Editors In this light & on this evening has finally arrived.

Listened to half of it & love it.

Quite a lot Influences of Joy Division/New Order and one track something that reminds me of a bassline from Rage in Eden.

Brian

Undecided if I should get Jacaszek: Pentral, have heard some samples online, but maybe one for the wish-list, and I'm still feeling some unexplainable compulsion to play the selective tracks from Manafon that work for me.
Earlier this evening playing Jacaszek: Treny, then later on Burial: Untrue on the night-time bus journey home, both of these albums went unexpectedly really well together, lots of ghostly atmosphere for these darker nights

Mick Karn - 'Titles' & 'Dreams Of Reason Produce Monsters'

Gary Numan's Jagged Edge, and in a bizarre move, the new Robbie Williams single, Bodies!

An unhealthy amount of early New Order 12"s back-to back. Had almost forgotten how good some of the less well-known tracks (Procession, Lonesome Tonight) are

Alex S, there's a cure for a headache like that, just take New Manafon*.

"Two tracks taken just before bedtime contain a powerful combination of pop music relieving ingredients.
Manafon tracks are coated and specially shaped for easy swallowing, the slow-release formula is suitable for all the family in the fight against the common music ailments that can intrude upon our everyday musical sensibilities."

*Before you take Manafon

Do not take this album if any of the following apply to you:

• You are allergic to Improvisation, Polwechsel, Cello, Foxes, or any of the other ingredients listed on the back of the album or in the album booklet

• You have or have ever had a stomach ulcer, perforation or bleeding

• You suffer from haemophilia or from gout

• You are in the last stages of pregnancy

• You are breast-feeding

The Quiet Man . I just love listening to the piano background to John's prose.

The Pleasure Principle (30th Anniversary Limited Edition) - Gary Numan. It is a remarkable album and the demo recordings are great insight to how the synths sound without the studio treatment. The live EP tracks are pretty good featuring the one and only Billy Currie.

Penthouse and Pavement - Heaven 17 . Another one of my favourites and the closest to the Human League sound. Martyn recently mentioned that side two of the original LP were tracks earmarked for the third Human League album before he and Ian parted company with Phil and Adrian.

Red Carpet Massacre - Duran Duran . It's taken me two years to buy this one and it turns out to be quite a good album. The problem with me and the general public is that by 2007 the novelty of a reunited Duran Duran wore off after Astronaut. Always ahead of the game, they should try and release a follow up now that all 80s music is back in fashion. Just the wrong timing.
