Really like Bow Wow Wow - there was a BBC gig from Sefton Park (I think) back in the day that blew me away at the time. As I recall it a Wal bass was being 'strummed/slapped/picked/strangled' to within an inch of its life for most of the gig. Fabulous bass player. 1 Quote
Old Man Riva Posted June 10, 2018 Posted June 10, 2018 I remember a mate doing me a copy of this album on a trusty TDK D90 when it came out nearly 30 years ago. I couldn't stop playing it, and played and rewound it time and again. To this day it still ranks as one of my favourite albums - it's otherworldliness (?) put me in mind of how I felt hearing Bowie albums in the 70s or Prince in the early/mid 80s. It all seemed so far away from the traditional sound/production I was used to hearing. 1 Quote

I bought it on vinyl within days of it's release, that pic ^ was a free poster that came with it, still gets played regularly, though the copy now is on CD. Quote
Bigwan Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 For the last few days I've been flitting back and forward between Tesseract's new album "Sonder" and, wait for it, Deacon Blue's top 15 songs on my "play music" app. Amos Williams and Ewen Vernal are both total beasts... Quote

BreadBin Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 Fjokra, an eclectic mixture of styles from Ireland. Quote
Graham Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 The Greatest Showman soundtrack, I've had some of the songs stuck in my head for the last couple of days as the kids love it; some nice bass parts too Quote
Graham Posted June 13, 2018 Posted June 13, 2018 Zeal & Ardor's new record Stranger Fruit I wasn't convinced by the first album - Devil Is Fine - mixing black metal with black American slave songs seemed like a good idea which almost worked, but didn't quite; this new one is a belter though. Quote
timmo Posted June 15, 2018 Posted June 15, 2018 I am listening to a lot of Faith No More. I like Billy Goulds playing quite a lot. Never really took time to listen to him properly. 1 Quote
Bluewine Posted June 16, 2018 Posted June 16, 2018 Listening to this Bowie clip, I love the production and his performance. 1 Quote

I think this must require a very specific mindset to be able to sink into it and 'enjoy' it. I don't seem to have such a mindset. I also had great trouble trying to follow the lyrics. Not for me, I'm afraid. Quote
BrunoBass Posted June 28, 2018 Posted June 28, 2018 I stumbled across this earlier, never heard this version before. Holy moly... Quote

I think with Battles it is very much a love/hate thing, I have played this track to several people who I thought would dig it but really didn't.

Dad3353 Posted June 28, 2018 Posted June 28, 2018 Well, I wouldn't go so far as to say it's hateful, but no, I certainly didn't love it. Quote
