bickster Posted May 28, 2022 Moderator Share Posted May 28, 2022 Wire's second album, Chairs Missing from 1978. A big change from debut effort Pink Flag. This is the post, that was the punk. Everyone says how massively important and influential Pink Flag was but this to my mind is just as important an album. A true post-punk trailblaizer I used to have an original of this which is long gone but I was in the dreaded HMV today and this was a penny less than £18 so home it came.

But I did listen all the way through and I’ve stuck it on again today, so it’s got something about it, even though its obviously a bit basic synth. It’s on Finders Keepers so has the inevitable two sides of rambling liner notes from Andy Votel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted May 28, 2022 Moderator Share Posted May 28, 2022 Not out until August on vinyl and with 6 tracks less. I might buy the vinyl when it's out but the CD is out now The next in the now legendary On-U Sound Compilation series... Pay It All Back Volume 8 New Lee Perry tracks from the Rainford sessions that were held back for this before L$P passed away. New African head Charge, New Creation Rebel (Only 40 odd years!). Never before released Andy Fairley tracks and F*** Me two new Tackhead tracks (must be at least 20 years). New Mark Stewart There's an awful lot of recently deceased people on here aside from L$P. George Oban and Wayne Nunes, two bass players, Oban in particular is all over this album and some Andy Fairly tracks from the vaults (Failey has been deceased a considerable time now) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Yep, I’ve got a vol. 8 on order… apparently! Got a DM asking if I wanted the CD whilst I waited for the vinyl! Bloody buggers, that’s pressure selling that’s what that is. Anyhoo, Colorama, Cookie Zoo just sublime gentle song writing from the genius that is Carwyn Ellis. It’s rare i go to the pub, but when I do, there’s about a 33% chance I go to this one up the road… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted May 29, 2022 Moderator Share Posted May 29, 2022 Haven't played this in a while but I'm off work tomorrow, have a bottle of red opened and I'm in the right mood to play it from start to end swapping 12" to 10" and back again as I go Godspeed You!

PieFacE Posted May 30, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted May 30, 2022 Just Mustard - Heart Under Personally I think they're the most interesting band going at the minute and was very pleased to see this album review very strongly, even though it is quite weird and probably isn't everyone's cup of tea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted June 4, 2022 Moderator Share Posted June 4, 2022 I've played this a few times in the last couple of days. I might need more albums like this as I'm really enjoying it. Library Music, an homage to the BBC Radiophonic Workshop and other makers of film and TV music for the BBC in the '70s Really well put together package, the insert is a fake Radio Times style TV listings magazine which is amusing in itself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Silva Screen Radiophonic album box is a really good purchase, if you don't mind CD? Had a few Radiophonic CDs from over the years, but somehow avoided all these. The extras are an eclectic mix of turds and gems, and exquisite examples of both 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had Pye Corner Audio on my imaginary list for a while but there are others I'm now looking at on Castles In Space and seeing what else comes up from there 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted June 4, 2022 Moderator Share Posted June 4, 2022 This satisfied my current mood a little bit, took me a while to remember who the artist was so I could find it. Alphabetical only works if you can remember their name Mark Peters - New Routes out of Innerland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
