Designer1 Posted January 16, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted January 16, 2014 The missing link between Brian Wilson and Steven Wilson - Jonathan Wilson. I think Rob would like this (it even has naked ladies on the inside cover). Great album - one of my favourites from last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blandy Posted January 18, 2014 Moderator Share Posted January 18, 2014 I'm listening to this Album. It's ace. Almost classical, just Violin music recorded in an underground car-park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted January 19, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted January 19, 2014 One of my periodic attempts to try and understand the appeal of music from after the 1975 watershed. The only thing I'd ever really heard by JD was "Love Will Tear Us Apart", which I thought was not TOO bad, so I thought I'd give this "classic" a go. Jesus, it's shite. Like someone's taken The Damned, Can, The Velvet Underground and The Doors (not the greatest set of influences to start with, TBH) and bled out all the tunes, talent and interest. Yes, it generates "atmosphere" - an atmosphere of claustrophobia and depression. Why would I want to experience that? Peter Hook: worst bass player ever (at least Sid Vicious had a bit of manic enthusiasm). Still, it's got a Factory Records hipster cover, so I guess it must be cool. Because when life feels that way it's almost uplifting to listen too. I adore UP, fantastic album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted January 19, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted January 19, 2014 Because when life feels that way it's almost uplifting to listen too. Not for me, it isn't. It has to be the stuff you grow up with. If I want to wallow in self-pity, I'll turn to an album like Blood on the Tracks or Late for the Sky. Melancholy, but not... irritating. For me, natch.

Yes, it generates "atmosphere" - an atmosphere of claustrophobia and depression.... I applaud you for leaving your self imposed pre '75 safety blanket. You picked the wrong JD album, though. I think you're largely right about it - it's a bit of a lumpy mess, though "She's lost control again" is (IMO) fantastic. Mind you I like all the "influences" and you don't. Closer, on the other hand, would have been the JD album I'd recommend to anyone. That's perhaps even more gloomy, though, but much, much better performed, written, produced and is a genuine work of excellence. I am actually quite shocked that I don't posess a single JD album. I love "She's lost control", so will be downloading Uknown Pleasures this evening. I think I'll also get Closer whilst I'm at it. Moody, depressing, introspective music I do love. I can't think why I haven't listened to them more. Plus Ian Curtis was from Macclesfield. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dAVe80 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Forgive me for going slightly off topic, but this is well worth an hour of your time. Not an album as such, but a mix on soundcloud celebrating 60 years of the famous reggae label, Studio One. https://soundcloud.com/scotchbonnetrecords/60-years-of-studio-one-walk-n 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Bruce Haack and Miss Nelson all on cassette because I just wanted to hear the music and the vinyls sell for too much money. The songs sound a lot like the stuff released on the Electronic Music for Children and The Way-out record for children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
