I like ITTLWRW too. But for me, AMUSED TO DEATH will always tower on top. For a myriad of reasons (it's one of -- if not THE -- very first CDs I got).

Thor 7,602 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 For laughs and giggles, I've rehearsed the following APP songs for karaoke purposes: "Eye in the Sky" "Don't Answer Me" "Silence and I" "Old and Wise" "What Goes Up" Problem is, very few places have them, and they're not exactly party poppers.

Yeah, I've tried all of them (the ones I can find karaoke versions of on Youtube, that is). "Old and Wise" is a great song, but extremely difficult to sing. The high registers are almost impossible at times. I'm not Colin Blunstone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bespin 8,500 Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 A Masterpiece of the Québécois répertoire. Because of the long song "Un incident à Bois-des-Filion" on side two of the album "Où est passée la noce?", Beau Dommage has traditionally been classified as a progressive rock group since the 1970s by fans of that genre. Un incident à Bois-des-Filion (1975), a songcycle of 20 minutes 29 sec., whose three distinct points of view (and corresponding musical themes) fill the complete second album side before resolving, interwined, during the finale. "I am in love with a girl who drowned herself between two islands..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naïve Old Fart 9,675 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 What on earth is this "Ameruca". For one moment, I honestly thought that the man in the video was going to sink to his knees, and shout: "Damn them. Damn them all to Hell!". Sorry sunshine, our loved ones are not "with us in a different way". They are not watching over us, as angels, and they can't help anybody, because they are well and truly dead, killed by a lying, avaricious, bloodthirsty, organisation called the United States government.

Naïve Old Fart 9,675 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Difficult, Alex. The Mitchell sounds early, and hesitant. It lacks the sophistication of songs on COURT AND SPARK, THE HISSING OF SUMMER LAWNS, and HERJIRA, and there's a "Neil Young" quality to her voice. ON HORSEBACK is pretty, but it's definitely an add-on. I usually turn the CD off, after pt. 2. Still, it's better than fluff such as PICTURES IN THE DARK, and RITE OF MAN, and it does evoke the damp, and "brown" feel, of England in the 70s. All in all, a draw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 7,602 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I have all but four Oldfield CDs -- THE KILLING FIELDS, INCANTATIONS, HERGEST RIDGE and a BEST OF CD from the 90s. He's very uneven, IMO. Some things I like a lot, others I outright dislike (and that includes elements of all of my Oldfield CDs and beyond). But in a contest with Joni Mitchell, he'll win any day of the week. Never been a big fan of her or that particular genre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,363 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I was very much into Oldfield when I was a teen. Later, I only wanted his first three albums (his holy trinitry) on CD. However, I still have Incantations and Platinum on vinyl. I was a major Joni Mitchell fan when I was in my 20s and 30s. The Hissing Of Summer Lawns is a masterpiece. Back then I also liked Ricky Lee Jones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,363 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 From wikipedia: Quote Ommadawn is the third record album by Mike Oldfield, released in 1975 on Virgin Records.

Naïve Old Fart 9,675 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Officially, Alex, it's his fourth record. You'll accept this, when you're old and wise.

Bespin 8,500 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Ahum. The discography expert that I am (I think) will just add that we must say "Ommadawn is the third STUDIO album" of Mike Oldfield. The Orchestral Tubular Bells (1975) is considered a live album.

As a David Bedford orchestral arrangement of Mike Oldfield's first album. It doesn't get a place in his studio or live discography. Tip (so you don't embarrass yourself in the future): When fans of Mike Oldfield talk about Oldfield's first three album they refer to the Holy Trinity or: Tubular Bells (1973) Hergest Ridge (1974) Ommadawn (1975) Bonus tip: Never say that Platinum (1979) is his masterpiece. There are boundaries to being contrary, Richard, even amongst pipe smoking pop music connoisseurs with white long moustaches.

Naïve Old Fart 9,675 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Not counting THE SALLYANGIE, it was the third album released under his own name. That makes it #3, in my books. I bet you don't even count EXPOSED. Oh, the humanity! Of course I'm aware of the "holy trinity". I was listening to Mike Oldfield, when your grandfather was still in diapers, and, yes, I'm not ashamed to say that I love PLATINUM! It's my fourth favourite MO.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 I saw Portugal. The Man last night. It was an okay concert. I really enjoyed the first 30-45 minutes, but once they oddly played Feel It Still in the middle of their set list, the rest of the show became a real drag. Perhaps it was because the terrible opener played for nearly an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bespin 8,500 Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Two great Roy Orbison LPs today (that I reconstructed using the best CD sources we have yet). His first LP (1961), featuring pretty rare dubbed versions of his first recordings, and then a famous genuine compilation from 1972. CDs used for those reconstructions: - Roy Orbison Mono and Unprocessed Volume 1: Original Releases 1956-62 (2014, Inverse Label) - The Soul of Rock and Roll (2008, Sony BMG) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
