They aren't an easy listen but once you get them, the rewards are worth the perseverance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted November 13, 2021 Moderator Share Posted November 13, 2021 Still in the '80s and an old (and current) friend. Bumped into Ian a few weeks ago which was nice The Icicle Works - If You Want To Defeat Your Enemy, Sing His Song It seems I actually paid good money for this album I can't fathom out why when Boots is a mate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted November 14, 2021 Moderator Share Posted November 14, 2021 Tribute albums are generally crap, this is one of the exceptions mainly due to the talent involved and the source material Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted November 17, 2021 Moderator Share Posted November 17, 2021 I know I said tribute albums were generally crap but here's another exception Bills, Aches and Blues. A celebration of 40 years of 4AD records. Current 4AD recording artists cover current and former 4AD artisits songs so you have the likes of... Aldous Harding covering Revical by Deerhunter Tune-Yards covering Canonball by The Breeders Future Islands covering The Moon is Blue by Colourbox You get the picture Some good and interesting stuff on here but there's a cover of Song to the Siren, which is clearly a cover of the This Mortal Coil Cover of the Tim Buckley song, the TMS cover being the best version of the song ever and all other versions pale by it's side, this ones no different 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
