But it’s getting trickier to find stuff at times now. Like today, I was thinking Lee Scratch Perry, what else have I got of his, apart from his own stuff? If it was all under Reggae or dub…easy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugeley Villa Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 (edited) Didn’t manage to go into a record shop in Lincoln yesterday, but did go into an antiques and collectables shop, which had some records in there. Came out with 3 for £25 which isn’t too bad for what I got. Could have easily had bought more. Anyway this is one of them...Robin Trower , For Earth Below Edited August 31, 2021 by Rugeley Villa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingram85 Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 AFI - Bodies Not the weird different exciting band I loved 20 years ago during Days of the Phoenix and Sing the Sorrow but still damn more talented and interesting than most. While I wish they were still a bit more dark and gothic I get they aren’t the same people they once were anymore and are getting on a bit age wise. I really wish this band were more famous/popular than they are though, they never seem to quite push through to the top tier of bands. Davey’s voice is so unique and remains so here. The sounds the band creates are great though. One second they are on the verge of something poppy and upbeat before going all desolate and heavy. Bodies is a run of the mill modern day AFI album. A solid 6/10. Not as good as Burials but on a par with The Blood Album. 3 or 4 quality songs, a couple of good songs and the rest are solid filler. The best tracks are the opener Twisted Tongues which is just pure AFI and the closer Tied to a tree is a fantastic way to close an album out. While I hope one day they return to a darker punk sound I think those days are gone now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 (edited) I'm finding Senjutsu very, very hard going. For a band with such a magnificent back catalogue as Maiden's, it's hard to compete with the classics, so it suffers by comparison. Much the same as Book Of Souls, it has some good moments, but every song seems to be at least double the length it needed to be. Bit of a slog, and not a single song I'd be desperate to see live. Hopefully it's a grower. Edited September 3, 2021 by Davkaus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They bore me after a few songs . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted September 4, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted September 4, 2021 (edited) On 25/08/2021 at 15:01, Seat68 said: @mjmooney I listened to the new Sturgill Simpson album, the ballad of dood and Juanita, a few times yesterday and enjoyed it immensely. It's much closer to Tom Russell's, the rose of roscrae than any of Simpsons other work. You may not feel it as you are more aware of Tom Russell's work than I am, but definitely recommend giving it a blast. Yeah, I've heard it, it's good. Tom often namechecks Sturgill Simpson on gigs. I find SS's style is closer to Waylon Jennings (which is no bad thing, obvs). EDIT: Downside is that, like most concept/story albums, it's fun the first time, but doesn't really bear repeated listens.

bickster Posted September 4, 2021 Moderator Share Posted September 4, 2021 Today is apparently We Love Records Stores Day and there are special releases for it. Sounds rather familiar I think. This is one of them. A speculative purchase but based on the people involved Immersion are Colin Newman from Wire and Malka Spiegel from Minimal Compact. This is a double 10" album with three tracks per side. Each side has a different collaborator Side 1 - Tarwater Side 2 - Laetitia Sadier (Stereolab) Side 3 - Ulrich Schnauss Side 4 - Scanner Its experimental electronic downtempo post-rock I guess made up of bits of what you'd expect from each of the protagonists, it is very lovely but it does also seem to work as an album and has some cohesion across all the tracks and doesn't come across disjointed at all Immersion - Nanocluster Volume 1 (I'm hoping some other nerd will come along and stick it on Discogs this weekend, otherwise I'll have to) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
