Stub Mandrel Posted November 6, 2019 Posted November 6, 2019 Twelfth Night live at Reading Rock 1983. It's a DVD that arrived today. I have ahd an image in my mind of the singer dressed as a WWI offcier in my head for the last 34 years, so confusion when he was dressed perfectly normally... Then song 2 he has a labcoat on, and goes off stage for song 3. Last song, Sequences, he comes on in full WWI kit exactly as I remembered. Amazing that a memory of such a detail can last so long! Good DVD too! Quote

Good DVD too! Remember taping their album from my mate around that time. Twelfth Night on one side and IQ on the other. Great albums from both bands. Pretty sure they also played my local venue The Heathery Bar in Wishaw around then too. It was the biggest bar venue in UK holding 200-300 if i remember right. Lot of the big bands played there incl Marillion, Iron Maiden (very early years), Jack Bruce, Pallas, Frankie Miller, to name a few Dave 1 Quote

Genius : Genius indeed, Monk is one of my favourite musicians simply because sometimes he sounds so disjointed and dissonant but it always swings like a really big swing with a heavy thing swinging on it. What a dude. 1 Quote

NancyJohnson Posted November 6, 2019 Posted November 6, 2019 American Hi-Fi, first album. I think this was one of the first albums I downloaded on Napster (don't get your panties in a twist, I've bought it). It's a very strong debut...haven't listened to it in yonks. 1 Quote

I remember liking that album too, I thought they were destined for great things but they seemed to fizzle out quite quickly if I recall correctly. Quote

They (to date) have done six or seven albums, there was a bit of a hiatus period while they all seemed to be doing other work. Sadly, much a case of diminishing returns though; first album was brilliant pop/punk, the second had a couple of terrible tracks, and so on. Quote

Not sure I'd want to listen to a whole album of this type of thing but the odd tune now and again, 👌 Quote

Twigman Posted November 7, 2019 Posted November 7, 2019 The rumble of the jet engine of what can only be flight KL1064 from Cardiff to Amsterdam although flightradar says it's at 33,000feet...it sounds lower to me. Quote
dave moffat Posted November 8, 2019 Posted November 8, 2019 Superstrings CD, Seven Mondays. Far from my usual taste but interesting and definitely worth listening to, Trevor Britton on DB. The David Soothill original 'Raffles' lightened my Friday morning mood Quote

Barking Spiders Posted November 8, 2019 Posted November 8, 2019 Not that this'll be of much interest to 90% of BCers 😏 it's mostly been the sampler CD for Underworld's upcoming Drift box set which compiles tracks that have been released digitally at a rate of one a week over the last 12 months. If the tunes on the sampler CD are owt to go by the 7 CD box set 'll be a monster. Quote

Useless trivia; my mate did Karl Hyde’s drive a few years ago. A very nice man, I’m reliably informed. Quote
odysseus Posted November 9, 2019 Posted November 9, 2019 One of my favourite Keziah Jones songs. Great playing from Otis Williams on bass! Quote
dave moffat Posted November 10, 2019 Posted November 10, 2019 Have lost myself down YouTube rabbit hole, probably not a popular choice on here but Ennio Morricone, Hans Zimmer...... 1 Quote
Bassfinger Posted November 11, 2019 Posted November 11, 2019 On Every Street by Dire Straits. Some wonderful delicate tones, beautifully restrained...I'd forgotten how good it was. Quote

Making Movies and Love Over Gold are two of my parent's albums I listened to most growing up 👍 1 Quote
