What Album Are You Listening To Right Now?

Hmmm interesting, I've only had time to listen to disc 1 so far (saying that, I've listened to it 3 times, I'm trying not to just rush through it and tick it off). But Neu! and Faust are currently my two stand out groups that I'll do some digging around. Disc 2 this evening, unless I get way laid by some dub I also bought!

I do suspect, that given the date of the tracks, they were considering how long a side of vinyl was when going off into a trance like state. One of those trance with an eye on the clock type moments I get at around 4:00pm on a weekday.

I totally get why people don't like Dylan's voice, but I disagree, I love the way he sings. Same with Neil Young and Tom Waits, who also have a negative effect on some people.

I do like some Dylan stuff but generally his voice is a fingernail and blackboard voice, it becomes unlistenable in a better of a few songs

Neil Young rarely makes a bad album

Tom Waits, depends on my mood, sometimes I love it, sometimes its the same as Dylan, can't listen to more than a couple of tracks

I had a tour of the BBC* on Saturday. They said that you need to take raw information and check against two credible sources before accepting it.

Well, I'm just going to accept that Xann has spoken stone cold fact there. That doesn't strike me as needing second source checking.

The second Neu album is a bit of an oddity. They'd only recorded a fraction of the intended final product when they were informed that the record company had run out of money.

Neu were understandably a bit miffed at this, as they would only receive a fee on handing over the finished article.

So, deviously, they took the tracks they did have and mangled them up to make a whole albums worth of material.

There's lots of fast, slow and backward on there.

Challenging is a good word to describe the whole.

dylan's voice does not do it for me but neil young's voice i love. if im honest im not that keen on vocalist who are considered proper singers, take osbourne for instance although not so much these days but in the 70s and 80s i absolutely love his voice and tone but as we all know hes not what you call a singer.

anyone else think jimmy page was a brilliant riff writer, ive heard people say his riffs are a bit meh but i think he was brilliant and although not as good as iommi he was definitely up there with him.

Page a bit meh? Who on earth says that?
