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

Sounds good...I didn't know they existed.

Yep! I didn't bother with them at the time, but at 3.99 each (actually Sons/Sisters was 2.99) on hmv.co.uk, they weren't to be missed!

The sound level on NGD was always infuriatingly low and the vocals almost lost in places. The remaster sounds so much better, although the vocals are still quite deep in the mix - must have been how it was recorded. It's got much more punch and clarity overall.

And Sons/Sisters comes with the 2 tracks originally omitted (for reasons unknown) from the 1986 CD issue, "League of Nations" and "Sound in 70 Cities". It all sounds very nice and clear

Excellent.

ME? Listening to Pet Shop Boys Xmas thing .. :rolleyes:

btw, the dvd-audio edition of New Gold Dream is really awesome! a bit harder to get since it is out of print.

Bright Eyes "Letting off the Happiness" - the perfect way to unwind cathartically before tomorrow's travel chaos. I feel almost CLEANSED.

Jim White "No Such Place" - timeless, with wonderful track titles including "10 Miles to Go on a 9 Mile Road", "God Was Drunk When He Made Me" and "Handcuffed to a Fence in Mississippi".

Have I heard the last of Slade and their ilk this year? I do believe I have.

Mark, I do hope so. Though of all the tat, the Slade song stands above the rest.

Thanks for new names to look into, listen out for etc.

I'm currently going for the carols, with choirs from Westminster Abbey and Guildford. No excuses, its one of hose seasonal things I enjoy.
Gonna end tonight with Bill nelson's Crimsworth for no particular reason.

Signing out now until 29th, when I return to real life...

Happy Christmas sir, may your travels be rewarding
