chrisp65 Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 I know of Panic At The Disco! Its what gets put on in the car when my teenage nipper finishes drum practise on a Saturday. Not allowed to play it loud in mum’s car the rest of the week, apparently, so it gets some volume on a weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 I saw Panic! At the disco, they were on the same bill as Fall Out Boy and Gym Class Heroes at the Academy I think in 2006. I would say all bands were a let down but it didn't stop me loving that debut Panic At The Disco album. So bloody good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didn't hit much bigger than that in the US. 5 years before LOTGC Sinatra went leftfield. He recorded a contemporary orchestral concept album using the best arrangers around, 'Tone Poems Of Color'. It doesn't seem unreasonable that Cash wanted to take his own concept to a different market. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted December 29, 2019 Moderator Share Posted December 29, 2019 In a kind of simlar mood track, I'm onto The Boatman's Call by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds I'd obviously graduated to CDs by this point in my music collecting, I just looked at the vinyl price of this and WOW! £70 odd quid or more for a good copy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted December 30, 2019 Moderator Share Posted December 30, 2019 Something of an oddity from the On-U Sound catalogue The tragic figure of Andy Fairley's album System Vertigo, he has another posthumously released Album of early non On-U singles which I also have but this was his only solo album release when alive. Fairley was a somewhat oddball figure, even for Bristol's underground scene, which was full of oddballs. AMS was clearly a fan and used him in the early days of Tackhead and for various other assorted one off tracks, usually released on the Pay It All Back series of label compilations. You got the impression that AMS planned more for Fairley than just one album It's an oddball spoken word / poetry? set of lyrics set to an AMS Downtempo Industrial Dub backing with the usual Tackhead crowd of Skip McDonald / Doug Wimbish / Keith le Blanc (AKA The Sugerhill studio band prior to all this madness) and AMS at the controls I guess his voice can be described as a more masculine Quentin Crisp I used to play this quite a bit when i'd get in from DJing at a club, a great album to unwind to after a night of madness, quite probably with one of those funny herbal cigarettes The Election Pt 1 should give you an impression This is the CD version which oddly is valued at about £4 where the vinyl is valued at about £2. There are loads of the vinyl album on Discogs for that silly price so, I think I may be hunting down a copy sometime soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted December 30, 2019 Moderator Share Posted December 30, 2019 Another On-U Sound product. This time a debut solo album by label mainstay, bass player Doug Wimbish (original Sugerhill gang studio musician, Tackhead and Living Colour) Downtempo bass driven soundscapes in the main. Usual suspects in the main supporting him here but notably the legendary keyboardist Bernie Worrel (Paliament, Funkadelic et al) and Talvin Singh on Tablas My version is a release on CD issued by Dude Records in Germany but I've again just spotted some decent vinyl copies of the On-U original release for a fairly decent price, again it may be on the shopping list. This was another of those after hours wind down albums Glorification Chant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
