[b]Jon Hassell with Brian Eno "Fourth World, Vol. 1: Possible Musics"

Eno's contribution is interesting enough but the foreground trumpet is a hideous sound that should have been left off the mix. Like a violent wasp with a personal grudge spoiling another almost summer day.
eek eek eek I can't believe you just said that! [/b]
Hmm, maybe you're right. Not a violent wasp, not even with a personal grudge. But a wasp nevertheless. I'll try it again - I will know more what to expect. I usually give everything at least two listens. wink [/b]
I think I know what you're saying guys!

The first time I heard that record (when it came out), I had several Eno albums in my collection.
But I didn't know who JH was.
At a first listen his playing sounded very nervous to me.
Almost in contradiction to the electronic ambience Eno provided for the album.
But later on, after hearing a few JH albums, I understood and felt the magic of his playing better.

Recommended listening:

Jon Hassell: Power Spot

... produced by: Eno / Lanois wink

The Beatles - Abbey Road

the thing about Beatles albums is that I always think the tracks are in the wrong order ..I mean "Come Together" is hardly a good opening track, but on this album I do like the sort of 'suite' of short songs on Side Two, works really well .. anyone know if this sort of thing has been done on more "modern" albums?

Certainly not on Heat The Soft Cell remixes that I'm currently enjoying.

Some of these go... on... for... ever...

Jori Hulkkonen - Errare Machinale Est

Not a bad album at all - maybe tails off a bit with the last couple of tracks

Gary Numan - Jagged


My first Numan cd. I was quite surprised at how much I liked it. The single In A Dark Place , Haunted & Pressure were the stand out tracks for me. Also went digging in my collection of 7" singles & found This Is Love & Your Fascination. Can't actually remember buying these just The Live ep. Maybe bought them on the back of the ep. After a few listens again to them I'm wondering why I stopped buying his work though reading earlier posts in the Numan thread , the mid 80's - mid 90's wasn't his strong point.

A Night at The Opera - Queen

I saw a funny review for Peter Andre's latest album, on iTunes someone has written 'I'd rather nail my nose to a tree' Hilarious!
