blakeyboy Posted April 25, 2018 Posted April 25, 2018 Never heard of him. Must investigate, based on that first listening. Very quickly off the top of me yed: Thomas Dolby Buzzcocks The Planets esp. Venus and Neptune Debussy Solution pre-1980 XTC Alan Parsons Project Bonzos Alan Holdsworth Jeff Beck Donald Fagan Freddie Hubbard Jean-Luc Ponty Kraftwerk Soapkills 10cc 1 Quote
Peckris Posted April 25, 2018 Posted April 25, 2018 Can't believe I also missed XTC and 10CC off my list 1 Quote
blakeyboy Posted April 25, 2018 Posted April 25, 2018 Just started playing them again. The early 10cc stuff is so well recorded, too... I had to look in iTunes under 'recently played' to find out what I've liked lately!! 2 Quote
Paddy Posted April 26, 2018 Author Posted April 26, 2018 Yes I keep thinking of things I have missed off - 10cc is definitely one, the How Dare You album is my favourite. Then there is Joni Mitchell and Joan Baez (Diamonds and Rust track appeals to me particularly at the moment). If, like me, you enjoy Tangerine Dream and the obcurer Pink Floyd you may find The Orb enjoyable - space age prog weirdness. 1 Quote
blakeyboy Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 Ah yes- so difficult to recall favourites- (such a strange concept there...) Early Joni Mitchell!!!!! I bought Rubycon on cd last year. Orb- I played "Towers of Dub" to a friend of mine who loves Reggae- he'd never heard it and couldn't believe what he was hearing.....everyone should have Victor Lewis-Smith and a dog on their album... 1 Quote
blakeyboy Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 Mind you- Dub is easier on this system that I built for the Studio last year- ghastly lamp for scale!! 2 Quote
Paddy Posted April 26, 2018 Author Posted April 26, 2018 Just listening to "Towers of Dub" now through Facebook. I like - I will have to get that album... Quote
Peter Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 It's Alive by the Ramones...the only band to give me temporary deafness...1234...boom. Quote
blakeyboy Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 OMG...I forgot the Ramones!!!!!! 1 2 3 4 then 17 tracks in 29 minutes and off. Cretin Hop will live forever. Mind you, if you think about it, The Ramones is just Buddy Holly speeded up....... 1 Quote

Michael-Roo Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 I always thought them more as Surfing music on speed. I stood no more than a few feet from the amps at an Eric's show in May 1977. Small club. Low ceiling. Peter's quite correct. LOUD! 2 Quote
Peter Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 I saw them at the Cambridge Corn Exchange...many bands during the 70/80's.The biggest toilet of a venue....or one big toilet. Quote
Michael-Roo Posted April 27, 2018 Posted April 27, 2018 (edited) We lived in Cambridge in the early 1990s. I went to a few coin fairs at the Corn Exchange. Bootleg CD fairs too, I think. Edited April 27, 2018 by Michael-Roo 1 Quote
Paddy Posted April 27, 2018 Author Posted April 27, 2018 I don't know how many people here enjoy the Gorillaz as a group - I find them very refreshing. This song - Manana - has a particularly powerful video with it. I often find a feel like the star of this animation - the "powers that be" are out to get me, and even when I am defeated they keep on at me! Quote

That's like talking about The Pink Floyd, The Genesis, or The 10CC! 1 Quote
blakeyboy Posted April 28, 2018 Posted April 28, 2018 Except, of course, that between being 'The Pink Floyd Sound' and 'Pink Floyd' there was 'The Pink Floyd'...:-) 1 Quote

Paddy Posted April 29, 2018 Author Posted April 29, 2018 Anybody else listen to Jamie T? I am surprised to find how infectious and memorable his stuff is. First bit I got into was "Salvador" after it was mentioned on some BBC4 documentary on musice. The video is mesmeric too: 1 Quote

Paddy Posted April 30, 2018 Author Posted April 30, 2018 How about a little "Desert Island Discs". You are stuck on an Island for the foreseeable future - you have your coins (life would be unthinkable without them) - what six tracks would you need with you? Mine change as time goes by, but for now: Pink Floyd - Shine on you Crazy Diamond (in full - dreamy) Led Zeppelin - Trampled Under Foot (gets me going when I am being lazy) Tangerine Dream - Cherokee Lane (dreamy) Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells (such variety) Meatloaf - Paradise by the Dashboard Light (memories of teenage years) King Crimson - The Court of the Crimson King (endlessly entertaining) How about you? Quote
Michael-Roo Posted April 30, 2018 Posted April 30, 2018 Desert Island Discs? Eight tracks, surely? Quote

It is so many years since I listened to it that I have forgotten. So add: Moody Blues - Nights in White Satin (long forgotten memories) Steve Harley - Sebastian (off the wall but entertaining) Quote
