jacko Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 Just been spinning Yes' second offering 'Time and a Word'. Haven't listened to it for 10 or 15 years but it still sounds fresh and most definitely 'Yes' music unlike the last 2 albums which I found truly boring). What is really remarkable is just how inventive Chris Squire was back then - His playing comes across really prominently on the original vinyl (apparently due to the sound guy having the bass turned down in his headphones so he kept turning chris up) so it's really easy to make out every note. Unfortunately Pete Banks guitar takes a bit of a back seat but there's still plenty of wonderful music on there. 1 Quote
Graham Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 Been listening to the new GoGo Penguin and Witchsorrow records this morning; both great, if quite different albums. Quote
Barking Spiders Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 Of late and as I work right now it's all been back to back Future Sound of London, their entire From The Archives and Environments series. 1 Quote

Daz39 Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 Blind Melon - Soup: meh The Amps - Pacer - not bad, could have tried less hard at trying not to care, but it was ok. Quote
LegateNaarifin Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 Ever since their newest album came out I've been really digging TesseracT. There's some really cool bass playing in there, if prog/metal is your cup of tea. Right this moment I'm listening to Juno, which has a wicked bass line in the first verse 1 Quote
Graham Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 Bass-less grindcore this afternnon - Insect Warfare followed by Wormrot 1 Quote
lowdown Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 The Joni Mitchell album, 'Both SIdes Now'. Oh my word, terrific big boy arrangements from Vince Mendoza.... And top, top playing from the musicians from both sides of the pond. 1 Quote

It's superb, I'd not heard that one before this afternoon, but it's got to be one of my favourite grind albums. Quote

When I listen to the From the Archives series there's so many quality tunes FSOL must be ultra picky guys not to have included them on their albums proper. Quote

Frank Blank Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 (edited) Just going to see this band in an hour or so, very excited... ...they were superb. Edited June 1, 2018 by Frank Blank Quote
