bickster Posted July 8, 2021 Moderator Share Posted July 8, 2021 OK opinion for @theboyangel Snapped Ankles - Forest of Your Problems. Third studio album from the Eco warrior post-punk, krautrock and garage outfit I've listened to it a few times now and tonight it was the first album I put on when I got home and I nearly just flipped it and played it again. It's definitely a grower, I really like it now. I don't know if this makes sense, it's a little less punky and a lot more Krauty and the beats seem to be at a slightly lower tempo. Its easy to let the first listen just wash over you and think it's not as good as the first two. Even though it sounds just like Snapped Ankles it's definitely a jump in a different direction and that is a good thing Also it has closed grooves at the end of each side which is also a bonus for me 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to hear it gets better with further listens 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Was just mentioning to someone else over on twatter, perfect proof you can pull off the 10 minute track without it getting all prog or too clever for it’s own good. Should have bought this years ago. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have bought this years ago. If I was ever to have to reduce my vinyl collection, Marquee Moon would always be in the keep pile. Such a great record on its own and then with what its influenced after it, if someone does one of those 100 most important albums in the world ever lists and they don’t include it, the list isn’t worth reading 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted July 10, 2021 Moderator Share Posted July 10, 2021 Interesting factoid as a result of listening to this. I was just dicking about of Discogs and looked up what the members of The Age of Chance did after they fizzled out. Now Geoff Taylor is a mate so I know he didn't do anything after AoC but it seems that none of them were ever in another band. That must be fairly unusual I'd have thought? Anyway C86 the second great NME Compilation of the '80s and great snapshot of indie music in 1986 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted July 10, 2021 Moderator Share Posted July 10, 2021 The album cover to this is a triumph of style over practicality. Gatefold but you have to open the gatefold to get the albuum out as it only slides out from the middle. Tis great though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 1986 and its the last album by The Prisoners Either 4 years too late to catch the mod revival, or 6 years too early to latch on to Britpop. So they were in the dead zone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
