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

listening to Yonderboi: Shallow And Profound, and presently its Road Movie - a track of really lovely ambience.

I'm with you guys on Talk Talk, and for me its the haunting Spirit Of Eden album, with I Believe In You being on my all time favourite songs list, in fact this is an album I'd love to hear filtered into John's work should he ever go in a more electro/acoustic direction.

This weekends listening has mostly been The Doors first album, and Suicide 2nd album. And lots of nightime lying in bed with headphones with Celer: In Escaping Lakes, best way to experience this album is to immerse yourself in it, great for dropping off to sleep, and also, Close Proximity And The Unhindered Care-All, (bit of a mouthful title that ), the music of the last 10 minutes of part 3 of this album - Tended Pouring is really beautiful in a kind of Cathedral Oceans way, with a rippling musical sweep.

Shifting City remastered.

More Current 93 this evening.

The 1999 2xCD compilation release Calling for Vanished Faces which is really where I started once I decided I wanted to learn more about the terrifying madman that is the genuis of David Tibet.

It's a truly uncompromising collection of dark, industrial and chilling pieces on Big themes, presented at an awesome scale. The stuff of nightmares - and at the same time, contains more than a few moments of haunting beauty, delicate guitar-and-piano tunes and guest vocal appearances by the likes of Björk and Nick Cave.

Defies description, but the term 'industrial folk music' has some relevance.

Do not listen to this album in front of a mirror...

the sun was shining here today, so it was Duran Duran's Rio

You lucky man!

No sun here today, but tuning into Saint Etienne's perfect summer album Foxbase Alpha nonetheless

Yup, after my recent sojourn in the capital London belongs to me too, a bit .. so it's St Etienne and

Didn't know where else to post this little anecdote.

I was at Mottisfont Abbey on the Bank Holiday, and during a tour round the house we came upon A Woman On A Stairway - posing in an elegant long white dress being filmed for something.
I thought that was quite cool, until we were outside (in The Garden) half an hour later and a girl walked pasted wearing a T-shirt with the phrase "Dance With Me" written on it...

All true. Kinda 'foxxy'

Currently listening to Ken Freeman's superb soundtrack to The Tripods...

Shimmery springy into summery sort of music..
China Crisis - Working With Fire & Steel
J Foxx & L Gordon - Sideways
