Ed Robertson is a fine songwriter, but it was the two of them together that made it work. I still love their music, but it's not central to my identity the way it was when I was in high school. When the bands we liked were a shorthand for personality. Ah ... I was doing a gag about the other sort of 'Barenaked Ladies'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Guernsey 2,286 Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Graceland is probably my favourite rock/pop album by an artist I'm not otherwise into (no slight on Paul Simon at all). Probably help that Terry Wogan used to play Call Me Al, Graceland and Diamonds on the Souls of Her Shoes on almost constant rotation when I was at uni (I like Prefab Sprout for similar reasons). I nabbed Graceland from my dad's eclectic collection and have loved it ever since. I enjoyed the follow up, Rhythm of the Saints but it doesn't quite capture the lightning in the bottle of Graceland. I even got the anniversary re-release which is mixed a bit hotter than the original and sounds great to me. Naïve Old Fart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,339 Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Well, whaddayaknow?! I like a very recent pop/rock album. Oh wait! Even though it's all new songs, it's a nostalgic and old throwback album to the melodic folk/pop/rock music of the late sixties. Heck, even some of the songs could have been Carpenters classics. Anyway, 7/10. And thank you amazon music for suggesting it to me. MaxMovieMan and GerateWohl 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 8,200 Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Not sure where to put this - a soundtrack thread, a Disney thread, maybe even the jazz thread?

A24 4,339 Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 The last time we talked about Richard Wright's first solo album, it wasn't available on CD, but it is now! Remixed by Steven Wilson. Both the original mix and remix only available on the Blu-ray release.

I wasn't aware it had been reissued on CD. Need to get it, then. I think the Zee/Identity album (which is very uneven) was also recently reissued on CD? I wish Rick had written a solo film score, as his style would be very suited to it. But alas, that never happened. Only film scores with Pink Floyd.

Naïve Old Fart 9,543 Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Are you partial to any other Steven Wilson mixes, Alex? His work with XTC, King Crimson, Tears For Fears, Tull, Marillion, The Dukes Of Stratosfear, Yes, and Gentle Giant is remarkable. I really, really want to hear RAGE IN EDEN, and QUARTET in 5.1, and I can't wait to hear what he does with WHO'S NEXT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are interesting but I'm too used to the originals so I'm constantly missing 'something'. I didn't have that problem with Richard Wright, but then again, that recording isn't etched in my memory as much as the Yes albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
