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

As un-Foxx as can be; despised by loads of fans and the band itself...Motorhead's Orgasmatron!

the cool summer sounds of Joy DivSion's "Closer"..

Too summery for yah?
Ok then I'm switching to
Bill nelson - The Summer Of God's Piano
&
Mike Oldfield - Ommadawn

Something unlabelled on a minidisc - but I suspect it is Four Tet's "Pause" (one day I will find out!)

Funnily enough, I first heard "Closer" in the summer so for me they go together well! I also first heard "Pornography" in the summer. Happy days ...

Aah... 'Pornography'... Genius in the drugged-up dark...

Bryan Ferry's Mamouna from 1994.

One of my life-shaping albums. An all-time favourite.

It feels like Ferry put everything into this album – every bit of experience gained from his days in Roxy music, right through to his continued obsession with the films and fashions of the 1930s and 40s.

And Eno's production is utterly outstanding.

periodically, friends and I exchange handfuls of CDs in a kind of 'reading group' sort of thing.

Last night I was handed a few albums etc, among them my first experience of 4AD's The Wolfgang Press in the shape of the 'Kansas' and 'Raintime' EPs.

While it's more than a toe in the murky waters of Gothic for my immediate enthusiasm, I am very encouraged by tracks like Bottom Drawer and Twister.

Am I OK to draw parallels with Bauhaus and The Cramps??

Another tick on my 'hitherto overlooked' list...

I totally agree with you Alex!

For me it's part of a set: Taxi / Mamouna

On Taxi it was Michael Brook (or: how close can you get to Eno?) who was very important. It's the best coveralbum I ever heard, every song is stripped to the essential and built up again in a complete different and tense way.
