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

on yesterdays sunny afternoon it was William Basinski
and the very lovely: Watermusic II

Sky's overcast this morning. Playing Windy & Carl: Drawing Of Sound

-edit- change that weather report to - foggy, it's certainly an atmospheric morning

96 degrees in the shade?

Lots of Joy Division and The Taverner Tape by The Human League...which isn't very summer admittedly

Over the weekend I had a great weekend doing up my garden & listening to

John Foxx - In Mysterious Ways
John Foxx & Louis Gordon - Shifting City 2cd
O.M. D - The Pacific Age

and then chilling out with Nanci Griffith - The Loving Kind & Joan Armatrading self titled album when the work was done.

Just bought a USB turntable and started going through some vinyl favourites to load on to my iPod. Arrrrggh - they are so scratched and worn from over playing and years of neglect!

First up was "This Jungle", then the 12" version of "That's no Lie" by Heaven 17 (love the intro), then "Strange Day" and "Hundred Years" by the Cure. No real order to this apart from JF first (see another thread for why that is - the B side one), didn't realise that my vinyl isn't A-Z sorted anymore! Ho hum, another task!

Shifting City... on headphones in the dark, hoping this will be my last night in hospital.......

Hope you recover well D!

And if you like Krautrock ...

'Elektro Guzzi' is an Austrian band who are interested in structure. They produce and perform like any modern electronic producer and performer wanting that every element of a track is exactly where it is intended to be. There is no computer backup material they prepared earlier, no loops and things, no overdubs. However hard it is to believe, what you hear is 100 % live.

thanks Lody! But unfortunately Shifting City didn't bring me luck and it's at least another day in .....Holby City!

Katie Melua - The House

After liking the single The Flood which was produced by William Orbit I was expecting a bit more from this album. I have her other albums & was hoping for a different direction with this one as she said that was what she was aiming for but to me it's just more of the same which isn't too bad a thing , I was just wanting that bit more.
