Art School Slow Down Away From The Numbers Sounds From The Street Non-Stop Dancing Takin’ My Love Just an absolute barn stormer of an album. Then of course there is The Gift. Now you remove the 4 minutes that make up The Circus and Planners Dream Goes Wrong and that album is also superb. Don’t get me wrong, Mod Cons and Sound Affects are great albums. Settings Sons? That’s got Thick As Thieves and Saturday’s Kids, but in my opinion, a fair bit of filler. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Moderator bickster 16,727 Posted February 15 Moderator Report Share Posted February 15 In the City - Fun youthful exuberance This Is the Modern World - meh, too soon after ITC All Mod Cans - Maturity Breakthrough Setting Sons - The Peak, genuinely love every single track on it Sound Affect - Brilliant but Milking It The Gift - Bits and pieces album, hints of the future (meh), some good stuff some bad.

chrisp65 29,840 Posted February 15 Report Share Posted February 15 C’mon now, do yourself a World Cup of Jam songs. Nothing on that album gets in to the semi’s. Maybe, Thick As Thieves or Saturday’s Kids if they had a lucky run through the quarters. I have done the best Jam album thing many times, this is no talking shit off the top of my head like I’d usually engage in. Link to post Share on other sites

My personal taste, I’d prefer: In The City - Away From The Numbers and/or Slow Down The Gift - Precious and/or Ghosts All Mod Cons - Down In The Tube Station Sound affects - Boy About Town and/or Scrape Away Like I say, it doesn’t make the semi’s.

Moderator bickster 16,727 Posted February 25 Moderator Report Share Posted February 25 The Grid - One Way traffic A 6 Track affair on the Moog Record Label. Yes that Moog! The Grid (and all other artists in the series) were given 4 days access to the Touring Moog Studio (with vintage and modern Moog intruments) What the Grid came up with is in the sort of Cabs, Chris & Cosey, Tangerine Dream ballpark - analogue soundscapes. It's rather out there. Link to post Share on other sites
