Holko 9,499 Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 It's great! I did play it at least that same amount since that post, so I'm kinda catcing up on a couple years of listening Really my Beatles fandom past knowing about them and knowing the classics started in 2016 with the play (or rather musical mayhem as they put it) Beatles.hu at the local theatre, which comprised of loosely connected reenactments of their interviews/TV appearances/changing points and of course song numbers. Then I picked up "1" in the shop in 2017 along with the Spielberg/Williams collection (my first Williams purchase!), then the remastered anniversary Pepper, and from then on I made it somewhat of a goal/point to wait for these lovingly done 50th anniversary White Album and Abbey Road releases (plus whatever may come) instead of making do with older, less pleasant stereo (or even mono where the separation is too painful for headphones) mixes.

A classic is a classic, whenever one hears it. @Holko, what do you think of ABBEY ROAD? It's much more than a classic, Richard. It's the template of the music of the '70s.

Sweeping Strings 2,344 Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 I'm going to see a-ha tonight ... it's one of those 'hits set, interval, then an album played in full chronological order' gigs (in this case, it's their debut 'Hunting High And Low'). They were my first gig ever back in '88, so tonight will have a 'coming full circle' feel I expect . SteveMc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweeping Strings 2,344 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 TLD was their last song, and it sounded more akin to the original single version than the stubbornly different one they recorded for 'Stay On These Roads'. Guess they've made their peace with it down the years. As I mentioned, they were my first gig 31 years ago ... and now at the age of 60, Morten Harket is still an annoyingly handsome bastard.

Jay 37,281 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Quote "One Slip (2019 remix)" from the box set, The Later Years 1987–2019 was released as a single on 24 October 2019 on Spotify and 25 October 2019 on YouTube and iTunes. The song contains newly recorded drums by Nick Mason and organ parts by Richard Wright lifted from 1987-89 live performances, replacing the song's original drum and keyboard parts. Interesting.

Naïve Old Fart 9,493 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Agreed, @Boom Tss. Have you heard TERMINAL FROST DYOL? It's my third favourite PF record (sorry, Alex!). It says more to me about the Summer/Fall of '87 than just about any other record. For those precious few months it was AMLOR, and GO ON, by Mr. Mister. Glorious! 1 hour ago, Alexcremers said: What an impressive career! 1. A New World Record Has anyone heard the new stuff?

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Eldorado through Time is one hell of a run of just super fun pop records. I love every single album! It's not that I hate the albums before Eldorado or after Time, but between those two is what I'd identify as the golden age of ELO. But I'm with you, Richard. Time is up there for me. I've always thought "The Lights Go Down" sounds a lot like Lynne's production style on Full Moon Fever/Traveling Wilburys later in the decade. It's great.

SteveMc 2,674 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Couple of oddities from Kate Bush's The Red Shoes sessions. It is, what it is. Very Prince-esque. It is too much. I like it spots, but in others I can't stand it. In general, The Red Shoes is probably her weakest album. As a follow up to The Sensual World it is puzzling. That album sounds more '93 than The Red Shoes, which seems rather stuck in 1988 maybe. I think that to follow up the aggressive artistry of Hounds of Love and the enveloping eroticism of The Sensual World with an all out bonkers pop album was the bold and right way to go for her. But, Bush's long album gestation times and the fact that she really was not in a pop album state of mind at the time conspired to make for an underwhelming and dated album. Rather a pity, since I actually think her voice peaked at this time Though, nothing on there is quite as dated as these two numbers.

Joyride was the first proper music album I ever owned in original form - I got it for Christmas in 1991. I lost track of Roxette when I turned to film music in 1994 and didn't pay a lot of attention to them until they had their comeback with Charm School and I started seeking out the rest of their catalogue and discovered that most of it is really good. It's not deep music, but as far as plain pop goes it doesn't get much better. With just the kind of style (and lots of catchy hooks) to easily attach itself to all kinds of sentimental memories. Shame I didn't bother to get a ticket when they came to Vienna on their reunion tour. SteveMc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
