terrytini Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 If I may plug this as I am currently genuinely listening to it. Its by my Son. He wrote all the words and music, played every instrument, did the vocals and designed the album. But the bugger won’t promote it or perform it. I think it’s great, but it’s possible I’m biased. His heroes are Pink Floyd, in particular Roger Waters, so, if anyone has a spare hour, please have a listen. If I can send him even one positive comment it would be nice. ( it’s pretty miserable though, as people who know Roger would expect) ...he doesn’t know I’ve done this.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted March 31, 2020 Moderator Share Posted March 31, 2020 I've played A Smiths compilation(The World won't Listen), Dark Side of the moon and an album by MGMT called congratulations, which I thought was very boring Then I played this, remembered their name but that was about it. From the name I expected something vaguely loud and possibly punky, I did not expect Trip Hop Pleasantly surprised. Its not as good as top drawer Portishead or Massive Attack but it's a decent listen Sneaker Pimps - Becoming X 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So moody and dystopian. If the rozzers question anyone, just say you’re a pimp from out of town, settling old scores.

Seat68 Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 I saw Curtis Mayfield on BBC4 on Friday and it was a track from his Roots album. That album has been on non stop since (not really but you get what I am saying) just about to order it. Excellent album. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 That’s actually one of the Boom Bip CD’s that I picked up, and you know what, it even annoys me that its got that fake coffee cup ring on the textured paper cover. I know that downloads and the youtubes are a safer way of operating, but hey, I don’t gable, I don’t drink and I don’t do drugs, so it’s my one bit of living on the edge to spend folding money on a punt on a record. I’m right more often than I’m wrong! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xann Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 I just like that track. He didn't even write the best bit. It's from a Zelda game iirc? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 You know what, I’ve never known what iirc meant. I’ve actually just bothered to look it up for the first time ever. At least some good has come from all this death and economic destruction. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paying for the product at least means you give it a chance I do stream, I do it to discover new things too but that really doesn't stop me making speculative purchases either. Streaming will never replace the sheer excitement of a first play on a physical format. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xann Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 I'm talking more about acts that didn't sustain a whole album's worth of material. I like 'Raspberry Beret', but don't like Prince, I like 'Crazy Horses' but don't like the Osmonds. Gave up buying albums for one track years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a bloke with a market stall in Llanidloes that sells 7" singles for a quid for that kind of stuff. It's where I buy my ABBA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
