bickster Posted July 15, 2019 Moderator Share Posted July 15, 2019 I bought this yesterday... though I'm currently streaming it in work not playing the vinyl. It's a remix album and again just like the Kruangbin one, I'm more interested in the remix album than the originals, it's the third such album I've biought this month (which is a little odd in itself) I first became aware of this artist as a result of Burn On - Mogwai Rework which is S1,T1 on this album. I listened to the original albums and wasn't much interested as I recall, then I heard Carry Me - Cosey Fanni Tutti Rework (S1,T2) and again liked the remix. So yeaterday i Bought this because it was only £13.50, had it been full price I probably wouldn't have bothered but now having played it a couple of times I probably would. Its all very ambient / post rocky type stuff, its great for working to in the office or a chill late night album. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted July 16, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted July 16, 2019 Tiny Changes - a Celebration of Frightened Rabbit's Midnight Organ Fight. Like all cover albums it's all over the shop, but the fundamental strength of the original songs carries it, even where they quite heavily change them - Daughter turned Poke into a dance track, Biffy Clyro (who I've not heard a note by in what most be a decade before this) turn the Modern Leper into a much heavier tune. Although it's a celebration of the seminal album, inevitably it's also a tribute to Scott Hutchison, song writer and singer for Frightened Rabbit, who killed himself last year. Midnight Organ Fight is an exceptionally personal album, recording his thoughts after an extremely painful breakup (that he never got over), and with that the songs have that extra weight to them that there's genuine emotion behind it. This is especially true of Floating in the Forth, a song about suicide that is particularly painful given how Scott died. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pointless trivia: I accidentally twatted Harkin in the mouth with her own microphone one time. Fortunately she is as forgiving as she is talented.

GarethRDR Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 The same. Was heavy into her old band Sky Larkin back when they'd just started out by virtue of spending most of the mid-00's listening to ¡Forward, Russia!-adjacent stuff and pretty much anything that was coming out of the Leeds music scene at the time. Ah, I miss Sky Larkin. They were great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Carwyn Ellis, usually releases stuff as 'Colorama'. This is just your typical Welsh language folk / Brazillian tropical samba mash up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then I really like Bill Ryder-Jones which is kinda in a similar ball park, It'sone of those musical impoderables, why you like one thing but don't like something else which is in similar territory, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
