Exile252 Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 This week, starting from today, Tower Of Power, just downloaded afew of their songs, and damn thats funky! Quote
Wooks Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 I wouldn't normally want to listen to them but thought I'd give a blast and I'm listening to the new Coldplay album. And I'm pretty impressed. Quote
RussFM Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 Opeth - Watershed. Absolutely amazing album, this one's staying in the CD player til Christmas!! Quote
barneyg42 Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 (edited) Kim Mitchell and Maceo mainly. Oh and I keep playing bloody Kid Rock-All Summer Long!! Edited June 16, 2008 by barneyg42 Quote
Chris2112 Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 A lot of Weather Report, particularly the 1982 self titled album (their second self titled album). Quote
thebeat Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 SLADE!!!! and no, i'm not joking...I love Jim Lea Quote
BigRedX Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 Lots of esoteric electronica with no bass on it at all... Quote
paul, the Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 A bit of Sinead O'Connor. She doesn't have enough bass in her vocal to permeate my soul, but I do like the sound of her voice and her passion. I saw Malcolm McDowell's first film, "If..." a week or so ago, and have downloaded the 'Les Troubadours Du Roi Baudouin' Missa Luba album. enjoy... Quote
foal30 Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 The Blue Nile "Stay" must be feeling all soft like. Miles Davis "Blues by Five" solo transcription has nearly killed me. Equus "Tall Tress" working out the horn lines. Quote
Marshy Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 Cara Dillon, "Sweet Liberty" Karine Polwart, "This Earthly Spell" I'm a sucker for good folk. These albums have the slowest, most non-technical basslines going. But FEEL by the bucketload. Marvellous. I've been annoying the neighbours with it Quote

Today I have mostly been listening to [list] [*]Nik Kershaw - You've got to laugh [*]Presto Ballet - Peace among the ruins [*]a quick mix of a noodle to try to decide where to take it [/list] Quote
Stu-khag Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 I can't get enough of the imagined village album this week, they were on jools holland ages ago and blew me away lots of cool stuff on that album Quote
dabootsy Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 went to see a band supporting Craig David called Mamas Gun and i was knocked out by them Great bass player but great songs with plenty of feel [url="http://www.mamasgun.co.uk/"]http://www.mamasgun.co.uk/[/url] just a great band so waiting for their album in September Quote
thisnameistaken Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 I like one of the tunes on their Myspace site. Reminds me a bit of [url="http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=JSmZFBP3Nok"]Dag[/url]. Quote
Huge Hands Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 Mrs HH loved the bluesy feel of the Fiat advert (where the car disintegrates and then reforms when the bloke shows up) that she looked it up on the net and bought the album. The band are called the Sweet Vandals, and the track on the advert is called Beautiful. They appear to be Spanish, recorded in Germany, singing in English. Great advert for the EU. Most of the album is sort of James Brown influenced funky stuff - well played, but IMHO nothing new or different. The Beautiful track is the one that really stands out - I really like it. The bass player plays some nice grooves - especially on their version of Papa's Got a Brand New Bag, which appears to be the only cover on there. If I was being hyper critical I would say that he could have done with a bit of compression on his feed as you do a few weak spots and clipping now and then. Anyway, not too shabby. I keep playing a few tracks off it in the car, and to appease Mrs HH, I have even suggested to the band that we have a shot at a cover of Beautiful tonight to see if we can do anything with it. It's hard to think of the words without the Spanish accent on them though! Wow, I'm beginning to sound like a second rate NME review here! Quote
