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

I did say it was a break from the norm.
This week I am bored with ALL my albums.

Didn't Foxx once say that he could only dream the music he wanted to hear, nobody was actually making it...?

Listening to these two albums also. Going to see him in concert in a few weeks. Really looking forward to it.

Good for you Scott! Quite an experience I can tell you.

Little Boots.

This is really, really good. Most enjoyable and uplifting album I've heard in a while.

Today I've gone from Sting to Fleetwood mac to synthpop!

"Long Live Pere Ubu" by Pere Ubu

A noisy and challenging adaptation of Alfred Jarry's play "Ubu Roi." There are a few good tunes and lots of dark humor. Tom Waits fans may like it. Little Boots fans will recoil in horror.

Here is a song from the album with the background animation that was used in live performance:

Well it's been a David Sylvian week of listening for me.

Starting off at 5.15am Monday morning with a drive down the M40 to pick my boss up from Heathrow, listening to 'Gone To Earth'. There was a moment during 'Wave' than took my breath away. Watching the sun slowly light up the horizon in a shimmering golden glow whilst in the rear view mirror I could see a full moon shining in a sky of darky dreamy blue, as David sings "open the door to life & let it go". It was almost an epiphany.


For the rest of the week I've listened to:

Camphor
Everything & Nothing
Approaching Silence

Lindsey Buckingham Go Insane
and
Fleetwood Mac Tango in the Night
