[wuntbedruv]

Oh, have I ever mentioned the best Live Album Ever? Certainly the best start to a Live Album. Earth Calling, this is Earth Calling...

Loved the live performance in Worthing (74?/ 75?)

[MENTION=409]Herr Tubthumper[/MENTION]: it appears I'm not even capable of reading a thread title. Saw the word jazz, and I was off. This might indicate that I'm better versed in the contemporary stuff.

It’s all good! No worries!

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

Did you give it a proper listen? There is more to 'music' than sweating over six stringed lump of wood or puffing into a piece of twisted metal through a reed.

If not, at a stroke you have just flushed Pink Floyd, Kraftwerk, Hawkwind, Depeche Mode, Georgio Moroder, The Glove, The Fix, Duran Duran, Gary Numan, Ulrich Schnauss, Frontline Assembley, Skinny Puppy, Diary of Dreams, Assemblage 23, VNV Nation, Icon of Coil, and countless others down the plughole of history. Boo. BOO!

Not forgetting Tangerine Dream

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

A post Rock classic is Hex by Bark Psychosis
A post Punk classic is Vs by Mission of Burma
Arcade Fire's debut is a modern classic
Spiderland by Slint was a big record for me that is undoubtedly a cult classic

When it comes to Arcade Fire The Suburbs is the album of theirs imho. I have this term “complete albums” which means everything about it, from the songs, the lyrics, themes, the art work, the zeitgeist and also the bands narrative and trajectory; The Suburbs is one such album. It’s a masterpiece.

I recently worked backwards from Black Country, New Road which took in Spiderland…agree and I now have it on vinyl.

Straight shooter 1975 by bad company.

This is excellent post work Friday spring sunshine just poured myself a beer music. I might have to turn it down when the missus arrives home.

That first The For Carnation album is good too. Must dig that out ...

That's not music! Anybody could do that (etc etc etc)

[boik]

I'm sure the op will have heard most of what I would recommend, but how about "Black Market" by Weather Report. Top, top musicians including Pastorius and Zawinul but funky and listenable.

 

[AmexRuislip]

Wow, I'm enjoying this.

Have you heard New Jersey Kings - Party to the Bus Stop? I reckon it would be right up your street.

Will listen tonight
Hope your stuff wasn't too jumbled up

Corinne Bailey Rae's late husband Jason Rae, was a member of the Haggis Horns.

 

[Weststander]

Their debut album of 1981 is still raw and great.

 

[Nitram]

Trying to keep off the obvious classics

Time out - The Dave Brubeck quartet
Grieg - In the Hall of the mountain king
Nasty Gal - Betty Davies
Darkness on the edge of town - Bruce Springsteen
Made in Japan - Deep purple
Layla and other assorted love songs - Derek and the dominos
Dire Straits - Dire Straits
Dusty in Memphis - Dusty Springfield
Gene Clark - No other
At Folsom prison - Johnny Cash
Link Wray - Link Wray
Transformer - Lou Reed
Nancy and Lee- Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood
Obscured by clouds - Pink Floyd
Piledriver - Status Quo
Argus - Wishbone Ash

 

[Binney on acid]

You need to listen to Jackson Browne's 'Late for the sky' (1974), and 'The Pretender', (1976). Gene Clark's 'No Other' (1974) is also beyond belief. 'Late for the sky' is probably the greatest album ever made.

Not necessarily. It is quite possible to like some of the work of, say, Pink Ployd, Hawkwind, Kraftwerk, Gary Numan - even at a pinch Depeche Mode, Georgio Moroder and Duran Duran - without in some way grouping them with Fraunhoffer Diffraction (Let alone having to like what I just listened to!)

The context was the contention that programming isn't music, not that FD isn't to your liking

Yes, programming can do music, but it often does something that sounds like a relaxation tape that's gone horribly wrong...............


.......but do carry on enjoying it!
