The albums thread - 2014

[Buzzer]

Don't know his name, but he had a really low voice. They had one hit in the late 80s, I think, called Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm.

Mariella Frostrup, wasn't it?



That Avi Buffalo album is very good. Sort of Santana meets Mercury Rev for a bit of shoegazing.

Well, if there was any doubt, I'm definitely getting it now.

Still have the Avi Buffallo on repeat.

Have had a 'forced' two day break from it ( just so I can listen to something else) but won't last much longer. Enjoy them/him live.

Ha. Love the second track, Memories of You.

To be honest I had given up on him after such a quiet period since album number one. One of those acts I discovered at The Great Escape playing in the Uncut sponsored Pavillion.

Brighton's own Gazelle Twin (pretty sure Theatre of Trees mentioned her earlier in the thread.) has done a brilliant second album - Unflesh

3 tracks to get your teeth into there. FFO The Knife, Fever Ray, Suicide.

Jamie T is back with his new album released today, Carry On The Grudge. 5 years after his last one. It's growing on me, and it's being rated quite highly by critics. But, it doesn't feel like him, but a few good songs nonetheless.

Anyone listened to this Thom Yorke record more than once?

Didn't realise he had a new record out

Have you been on a holiday to North Korea? Or does Germany just not give a toss about Thommy.

My personal review would be very similar to this but I think I need to listen to it more than twice. Very nice, very safe.

"The beauty of the scheme is that any tech-savvy muso with a laptop can do it. And the same, largely, goes for the record. "

Oh, so there's a reason why I have not seen it in my local record store. I am not sure I understand all this to be honest. I might have to get a youngster to explain it to me. What happened to good old shops?

Old, and veering towards obsolescence?
I might be speaking about shops, myself, or even you.

Yeah, whatever did happen to paying £16.99 for a CD? I miss those days!

[Pogue Mahone]

CDs are generally £10 - £12.

Which is much less than they used to be before you could buy music digitally.

This pleases me as I like to physically own my music.

Cant wait for this. Another live date on the coast would be great.

Baguette Dilemma For The Booker Prize Guy

I'd like to give Mark E Smith this song title and see what he came up with.

 

[spring hall convert]

CDs are generally £10 - £12.

Which is cheaper then they were in the late 90's/ early 00's. That's my point. Back in the good old days, we got ripped off.

 

[CorgiRegisteredFriend]

CDs seem to have been selling around the £10 price for about twenty years now. Totally inflation/deflation proof.
