NancyJohnson Posted June 28, 2018 Posted June 28, 2018 Today has been all about Band On The Run and Wings Over America. I suspect that seeing McCartney on that Karaoke thing with James Corden might have seeded this. 1 Quote
bartelby Posted June 28, 2018 Posted June 28, 2018 Saw this guy at the Supersonic Festival on the weekend. He was bloody marvellous: Quote
Frank Blank Posted June 29, 2018 Posted June 29, 2018 Just because a) I’m watching TOTP reruns and b) because Leigh Gorman doesn’t get mentioned on here often, it at all (I think) and he’s a great player... 1 Quote
Old Man Riva Posted July 1, 2018 Posted July 1, 2018 If there's a finer track to recline to on a steamy Sunday afternoon I'd love to hear it... Quote
DaytonaRik Posted July 3, 2018 Posted July 3, 2018 Italian pianist/composer Ludovico Einaudi's In a Time Lapse Quote
Frank Blank Posted July 3, 2018 Posted July 3, 2018 The least dissonant and atonal track on City of Glass, bonkers nonetheless. Quote
Leonard Smalls Posted July 4, 2018 Posted July 4, 2018 Some ridiculously good young 'uns from Japan... Quote

Still one of my faves along with Images and Words & Octavarium. Full of melodies and hooks. They have lost the plot these days but really hoping the new one, currently being written, will bring back the melodies I loved them for. Quote

Like they were trying to be Yes or Rush of the 70s. I loved some parts of eponymous and Dramatic Turn of Events, but the last excellent release was Black Clouds (I got the 3 disc version with the covers and the instrumental versions). One consistency throughout DT is that any track written mostly by or featuring a lot of Portnoy's 'I'm a Metalhead' growl gets skipped most of the time. Quote

The metal growls did get a bit too much, I agree. The Astonishing was astonishingly bad. Just awful Listened once, tried again but put the CD back in the case and stuck it in the rack. No idea what they were trying to do. I do wish Portnoy would return because I do feel they are lost without him. Let's hope they come back with something amazing. I have followed them all their career and seen them on every tour but the last time I saw them in Cardiff, I very nearly fell asleep. A downturn is always inevitable but hopefully, they are the way back up again because I do love this band Quote
Leonard Smalls Posted July 4, 2018 Posted July 4, 2018 With working audio! https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1437867522979834&id=676053449161249 Quote
Dad3353 Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 An old one, but has an innovative approach to bass playing. J. Casady, Jorma Kaukonen, Spencer Dryden playing freely. Needs a little time to get going, but it's worth it ... 1 Quote
Barking Spiders Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 Biosphere's recent reissues of Patashnik and Cirque. Top notch ambient electronica, something Scandinavians excel at, Biosphere being a Norwegian geezer. Also the newie by The Orb, No Sounds Are Out of Bounds, which is mostly dub-heavy electronica with some bass ting by Jan Wobble Quote
burno70 Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 Sigur Ros () again. Love this album. Don't mean it as a criticism at all but it's great to drift off/sleep too. Quote
