the whitey album

Digable Planets - Refutation

They only want you when you're seventeen......

You're on a David Sylvian trip Priest aren't you?Out of all of them the one above is not that good or is it?

i'm on an 80s kick.

It's kind of difficult to say. That one (Rain Tree Crow) is most of the members of Japan trying to fuse their own improvised ideas into one thing. Its sound is most influenced by what Sylvian had been experimeniting with, and is a precursor to what his career would develop into, really. It's a solid enough LP, with some standout tracks.

7/10

I think that album can't be used as a scapegoat for his more interesting(See Fennesz collaborations etc) music that much.It was pretty clear what the direction he was going to go to was even by the time that album came out.

I agree. While you were typing that, in fact, I was editing my post. No scapegoating intended - it's a logical step along Sylvian's path.

Sylvian is kinda a sacred musician in a way.I don't listen to him that much because i never go to church.But on the rare occasions...........

...his stuff can be magical, never better demonstrated than on the 'Approaching Silence' installation pieces.

Did you hear the Nine Horses project from last year? It's a David Sylvian, Steve Jansen, and Burnt Friedman collaboration.

Edited post above.

I haven't.He's one the very few musicians that i have real respect for because he really lives outside the radar and HE IS happy with it.My head says :'Do listen to Sylvian more' but then it gets turned around by other things.I got into him because my brother used to play me his records a lot and as much as i grew up to like his music and respect him (greatly),somehow i've drifted into other things.Still.....one to be behold.

listening to wolf eyes-burned mind
a friend of mine introduced me to them like a year ago, shes friends with the band and loves them, i finally got this a few months ago listened to it once, really liked it, then everytime ive listended to it since it hasnt done much for me. im giving it another chance to blow me away, so far im enjoying it...

did i put them on the "best of '06 so far list"? if no, i'm an idiot for forgetting it.

comets on fire - comets on fire

The Drones - Gala Mill

Awesome album.

As in the band from Kill Bill?

Yes.

HAHA. Alright then.

I'm listening to:


If you actually know who them two guys are, you're alright with me.

You think you're a man- by the vaselines
Then Teenage Superstars- The Vaselines

The Thing - Live At Blå

New vinyl. Some strange German import but with the regular Amphetamine Reptile logo and all. Strange. Great LP, though!

I had to ask the clerk, female, to look that one up for me the other day, for availability on vinyl and all that. Imagine how carefully I enunciated the title!

Haha. Great album cover.

It's a bizarre album cover. Not sure about great. Certainly eye-catching. I didn't ask for a bag, and I walked through the streets of downtown with this tucked under my arm. I could have been arrested or something.

The Doors-The End

What's that obsession about killing The Doors? I don't know them well but the little I heard was good :s

They're dead already.And they've always been dead...........inside.

That wasn't aimed at the Doors. :cool:

Like all distinctly original artists, the Doors have had to endure their unfair share of criticism, misunderstanding, and downright hatred. It's to be expected.

This one's good, too.

It doesn't make me say "Fucking A!" like Sexy Pee History. It makes me say something more like, "Oh, wow, that's really cool."
