An indelible part of my formative years. I like Era and Deep Forest too, among the worldbeat groups that came out at that time. But Enigma most of all. It was very popular to dislike them back then, but thankfully - like Enya - they're starting to get the kudos they deserve these days.

Thor 7,494 Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Sort of a follow-up album to TALES AND MYSTERY that the late Woolfson released in 2003. This is more in 'musical' territory, which is where he went after leaving APP - but the type of musical I can stomach, often very close to the already theatrical music they did in their heyday. I think it's excellent (although obviously not on the level of the original classic). There was an actual musical version too, which I also have, but I prefer this studio album recording.

Thor 7,494 Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Wild 80s, über-produced prog rock that is not for everyone, but I just love the combined forces of this "super group". Extremely sophisticated arrangements. This is the kind of stuff Alex will hate, but I think Richard will like. I love it! bruce marshall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 7,494 Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 This is all Rabin, basically. I love it. Those expansive chords that Rabin does so well. I talked a bit about it in my interview with him here, especially a link between "I Am Waiting" and the theme from ARMAGEDDON. And then you have Roger Hodgson (of Supertramp fame - my favourite band) involved as well. Cool. bruce marshall and Naïve Old Fart 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I've been digging OK Human a lot this year. Weezer continues to hit it out of the park for me with every album since the EWBAITE reboot. A band that really isn't in my usual wheelhouse, but Rivers' (metaphorical) voice in middle age just clicks with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bespin 8,480 Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 Born in 1936 on April 23, Roy Orbison would have turned 85 years old.

I like Let Forever Be but Setting Sun is the better of his two songs with the Chemical Brothers. They also did a remix of Falling Down much much later so I guess that’s a trilogy of songs of Noel trying to write Tomorrow Never Knows! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CC @His Royal Noelness https://pitchfork.com/news/noel-gallaghers-high-flying-birds-to-release-greatest-hits-share-new-song-listen/ He’s got his own record label so the staff there need paying and it’s not like he can make money from touring at the moment. It’s 2cds but it’s only 18 tracks. Two of which are brand new so that’s cool. And it’s basically 4 albums worth of material to pick from because since the third album he’s released 3 standalone EPs so there’s about 9 songs there not including remixes. Then there’s a bonus disc full of brand new goodies which is what the fans will be buying it for, including a 3rd unreleased track. But I don’t see the issue with an artist putting out any sort of release. If people just want the new tracks they’ll be able to stream them or just buy them individually on iTunes.

Thor 7,494 Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Oasis, Shmoasis, let's get back to some REAL music! This 1983 album is the latest one I own of 10CC (I own 8 in total), and it's obviously not on par with their earlier albums. But it's still Godley/Creme goodness without that actual dynamic duo, IMO.
