I must confess, it’s the 2005 remastered CD
Todays music has been Chrome:
3rd From The Sun, and yesterday saw JMJ:
Oxygene, followed in the afternoon by Taylor Deupree:
Weather And Worn.
Most of the earlier part of the week was about giving air to two albums I bought last year but have maybe only played once, so lest they end up going into that other thread we have on the forum - (can’t remember what its called, ‘what music aren’t you listening to’ ? or, ’albums you’ve got but don’t play’ ?)–
Boozoo Bajou:
Grains.
I have/love their 2001 album
Satta, but wasn’t keen on their 2005 follow-up album
Dust My Broom, and promptly forgot all about them, so I was surprised last year to come across
Grains their third release. Of the 11 tracks, 7 are pleasantly atmospheric in a classic Thievery Corporation kind of way (and made for very good ‘hangover’ listening last Tuesday morning after a night out before), but for an album with a mostly lounge/trippy style I hate it when you get up to 4 tracks peppered throughout that sound out of place, spoiled by vocals that feel like they belong to an entirely different album, which in this case is a man trying to sound like Paul Weller, and a woman attempting to be Sade Adu.
Pocahaunted:
Island Diamonds.
I recently got this years release (
Make It Real), but I’ve mostly ignored listening to this previous one since I got it. Of the two albums the latter one definitely clicks for me, more melody seems to have crept into the musical jamming, and the tribal wailing of the vocal duo is a little less 'taxing' on the ear and has taken on more form, but of course they’ve split up now as a band!
