Also seems to be a few reasonably cheap copies on Discogs in the UK so it may go on my want list 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having most of the Can / Neu! that I want to own it was time to move onto another so between you and the radio this morning providing nudges today I'm listening to PV. That comp will also help The Soundtrack album's guitar work reminds me very much of Brum's own Lawrence's first Felt album Crumbling the Antiseptic Beauty from 1982 When this sountrack finishes I'll move on to that compilation Much appreciated! EDIT: Where is that streaming btw? Not on Spoty or Bandcamp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bielesibub Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 I don't want to bring down the tone of this thread, but I'm experiencing a bit of a goth music renaissance - much to the annoyance of my family (which is why I treated myself to some new headphones). I'm listening to Fields of the Nephilim - Elizium at the moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted October 15, 2022 Moderator Share Posted October 15, 2022 Not a full album but a 10" 8 track compilation on Virgin from 1978 Called Guillotine, I'm not sure if this label sampler was intended as a series, it has all the hallmarks of it but there were no more Some absolutely classic tracks on this though. Poet and the Roots is Linton Kwezei Johnson. The track by The Table was the track that Boy Azooga covered and got them a much higher profile. Rocky Erickson was the singer in the 13th Floor Elevators and the Penetration track is a classic teen-angst anthem The Motors– You Beat The Hell Outta Me Penetration– Don't Dictate The Table– Do The Standing Still (Classics Illustrated) Avant Gardener– Strange Gurl In Clothes XTC– Traffic Light Rock Roky Erickson– Bermuda Poet And The Roots– All Wi Doin' Is Defendin' X-Ray Spex– Oh Bondage Up Yours! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted October 18, 2022 Moderator Share Posted October 18, 2022 Another compilation from the archive. This time Hicks From The Sticks from 1980 A compilation of post-punk, some of these bands went on to have some success, some split up and their members had success elsewhere and others just faded away into the void I love a good obscure post-punk compilation. A lot of what is on here is really archival material for the forgotten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not their usual field, yet it has their production values. I like it a lot. The bands are not as wasted as their West German contemporaries. It quite suits the intricacies of the Proggy stuff, they're on it. BF have a four volume regular Krautrock comp set as well. I'd quite like to listen to them vs the versions I have already now. Not quite enough to buy them though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 arctic monkeys the car more of the same after the last album so a lot of people including their fans won't like it, I think it's better than the last album but it's still not a barnstormer, its deep and heavy littered with good bits but in isolation rather than flowing all the way through, it's still a development of their sound but again taking it in a more mature direction that for me isn't as good as where they've come from, AM is a masterpiece and they're still on the comedown, will take a lot of listens to appreciate it but its good enough to deserve the time, I'd say it's a 7/10 on first listen there's some proper bond theme tune stuff in there at least they've added that's where you're wrong to their setlist, love that song its one of my favourites by them, same as the last album im expecting this to play really well live, body paint for example the guitar hits harder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 my mate messaged me that after listening to it he can't work out if turner is a lyrical genius so deep in complex metaphors that it takes several careful listens to understand the context or if he's gone to red hot chili peppers level of making nonsensical shit up because it sounds cool 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
