Two tracks in, the record company told the band the studio budget was finished. Deviously, to pick up their fee, Dinger and Rother made an album's worth of noise out of the tracks they'd got in the can. Fast, slow, forwards, backwards and generally squished. 19 minutes ago, rjw63 said: Whoooooooooooooooooooooooo? Have you heard the term Motorik? They're the archetypal Motorik band. You know the Germans made absolutely mental music through the late 60s and early 70s? These are amongst the most influential. There are loads of bands that sound like these guys now. This is 'Fur Immer' from the second album. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blandy Posted April 3, 2016 Moderator Share Posted April 3, 2016 NEU '75, prompted by seeing the posts above. All that talk of vinyl, but all I had to do was stay sat here, click command+ space, type "Neu" and my iTunes opened and another click and I picked which album I wanted. I didn't even have to go to the CD shelves to fetch the actual discs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 yeah people get snobby about formats which is silly I've got CD's in the car, downloads on laptop. But I enjoy the palaver of a record when I'm relaxing and listening. If I listen to stuff on the computer or from youtube or soundcloud it's fine, but I'll invariably do something else at the same time. If I go out the other room, twiddle with an amp, and stick a long lead on the headphones, well then I can have a proper listen. Like a proper middle class clearing in the woods. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like a proper middle class clearing in the woods. in my head you cant have a MP3 collection, i'll still buy a lot of CDs and then try and pick up a couple of vinyl records a month too, vinyl record shopping to me is about taking your time looking for bargains and gems, its not about going down sainsburys and picking up a £20 beatles album thats been relaunched by back to black, missus hates record shopping, theres no such thing as popping your head in a record shop picked up this on a cool white with red/green splashes vinyl yesterday - if you dont like morrissey then forget it but i love him and i cant stop listening to this! there's only 5/6 songs on it plus then some live tracks, all in spanish but for me at least instantly recognisable as morrissey tracks, hopefully they're going to move on to the smiths, there is a version of boy with a thorn in his side and ask doing the rounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugeley Villa Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 he looks and sounds like another hendrix, although hes probably as good if not better? randy california and santana are both superb too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the first time I heard Maggot Brain (the song), and the guitar blowing my mind. I love that album, yet I only got round to buying a proper copy of it the other week.

Apparently George Clinton told Eddie Hazel to imagine his mother had just died when he recorded the solo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dAVe80 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Had it on tape (a copy, which I think is probably in my parent's loft), and I have a digital copy on my old laptop. CD was going cheap, so it was a no brainer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
