Only2McInallys Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Like others here I have listening to some Neil Young After the Goldrush and Harvest are certainly some of my all time favourite albums but I have struggled to get into his other stuff. Just been listening to Comes a Time, not bad title track reminds me a bit of Fisherman’s Blues 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A personal favourite of mine but if you like Harvest and Gold Rush, you may get on with that Edit: Also a good primer is the 2 cd / 3 lp Decade compilation which will lead you into a lot of other albums 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you only have one Neil Young record, that one does the business. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 (edited) I don't think I own a single thing of Neil Youngs, despite liking him. Maybe a CSNY seven inch, at a push, but definitely no albums. Yes. I own the Woodstock 7". Edited November 19, 2021 by Seat68 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard Cortez The Killer on Iggy Pop and it appealed to my ‘not perfect’ sensibilities. It sounded real, not produced to fake perfection. So I asked my local Neil Young obsessive record shop owner what they had in stock and the two I got were picked out for me. I don’t normally ‘do’ live albums, I think Rust might be the third one I own, but I rolled with it, and it’s excellent. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Young stopped doing overdubs decades back, that's why even his studio work sounds live. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the info I need. ’Live’ without that nuisance background crowd ‘roar’. Something where you can distinctly hear individual instruments and glitches, that’s what I’m after. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I've got about 35 of his albums on vinyl. Best thing about Neil is he changes genre by album so you don't know what to expect. Personally I love his rock/grunge stuff. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted November 20, 2021 Moderator Share Posted November 20, 2021 Bought ages ago, for amusement more than anything. I paid no more than 50p in a charity shop. IIRC I bought it as a test record for a new amplifier There were plenty of cheap samplers released for buttons in the late 60's to encourage people to upgrade to the exciting world of.... stereo. This is for the Columbia Label and specifically its EMI Studio 2 Imprint This is was Radio 2 used to sound like in the evenings in the early 70s The Stripper - David Rose and his Orchestra, Stranger on the SHore by Acker Bilk, hell there's even a Manuel and his Music of the Mountains track on here (A Man and a Woman), this is the sort of shit my dad would have bought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the ones where they tried to make groovy, futuristic, exotic or otherwise quirky tunes that are most interesting. This is reality but better, your favourite tunes with reverb, delays and compression. Would like this one. Everyone should own this one Unstable pitch and massive reverb combine in this to recreate the ambience of waiting for the curtain to open in a 70s cinema, whilst just coming up on acid Edited November 20, 2021 by Xann 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted November 21, 2021 Moderator Share Posted November 21, 2021 Mind Over Mirrors - Bellowing Sun (2018) Essentailly an art peice commissioned by The Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago to accompany an art instalation of the same name (I think). Experimental electronics with elements of drone, psychedelia and ethereal vocals. It's really quite trippy. Features members of Tortoise, Iron and Wine and others.
