Disco Stu 15,495 Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Revisited the entirety of Barrett era Floyd for the first time in a quite a while. Some brilliant tracks for sure, but a lot of it tries my patience. "Interstellar Overdrive" just plain sucks. I have no time for drug addicts noodling around aimlessly. At his best, Barrett shines (heh) when he lets his childlike sing-song qualities come forward. But an awful tune like "The Gnome" goes too far in that direction.

It was in all the charts, but I think it was a minor dancefloor hit as well, written and produced by Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards (Chic).

Sweeping Strings 2,358 Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Outdoor Stereophonics gig last night ... a good time was had but unlike Simple Minds 2 weeks ago I'm not off work today, and OW OW OW my poor old legs.

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 This album by a great underknown group called The Essex Green was one I was really into in 2006.

IMO, being a true "album artist" never fit Gaye as well as it did Stevie Wonder or Al Green. That said, I've always enjoyed listening to "I Want You" the most of his 70s albums.

The sources are baked together and using them as is would only allow a mono mix or the 2009 hard separated stereo that's a horrible fit for headphones - but now they can separate the instruments and mix it properly from scratch! Also they initially weren't sure they had enough interesting extras to include and were thinking of possibly doing it together with Rubber Soul - meaning that one's coming too!

Get Back had dozens of hours of material to train it until it could separate the 4 of them in the same noisy badly recorded mono track. Depends on how much material there is of them around that era I guess, it's not just a magic process, it has to be trained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faleel 5,347 Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 True. There was a 2 hour leak of some of the sessions from that album, so its possible there is enough material out there for AI training: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holko 9,526 Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Another win for Tidal Daily Discovery playlists... The track "Songs from the Wood" was enough to make me want to go through their discography, and fell in love with them once they developed their sound, enough to buy the 4 albums pictured, but after these my interest started wandering and didn't listen through everything. I really like their rhythmic, melodic and instrumentational inventiveness and their ever-changing blend of classic, heavy, progressive or folksy rock.

Naïve Old Fart 9,524 Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 I'm aware of that, dude That's why I differentiated between the Polygram stuff, and the Atlantic stuff. I hear no difference between the original '89 - '07 releases (with the obvious exception of the VAPOR TRAILS remix), and the material in the 2013 box. SECTORS 1, 2, 3 are chock full o' goodies.

GerateWohl 4,365 Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 I just realised, that there is a new album of The Godfathers. Surely something the world didn't need. But I have a lot of good memories of their live shows in the 90s. At last one, that I visited, they showed up with their brand new lineup and played just five songs, because they hadn't rehearsed more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
