Vinyl

^ That vinyl looks OUTRAGEOUS !!
Crowded House = Neil Finn (and sometimes brother Tim), later Enz drummer Paul Hester (who sadly took his own life a few years ago.....) and non-Enz newbie Nick Seymour on bass.
Schnell Fenster = early Enz eccentric Phil Judd, Enz drummer/percussionist Noel Crombie, and Enz bassist Nigel Griggs (who replaced Jonathan M. Chunn in '77).
Both bands play sophisticated Pop songs, and Crowded House enjoyed massive popularity, SF not so much, bar the single 'Whisper', which almost disappeared as soon as it appeared.
But for now, I indulge in Iron Maiden.........Somewhere In Time onto the TT

^ No such thing as " listening to Maiden without moving " - I mean, your head is going most of the time
SiT is top-shelf Metal, and it's full of Prog traits.
Killers too, another I've neglected over the years.
Over the years, I've often reached for the excellent debut, Powerslave, and Fear Of The Dark onwards. The remaining ones I just haven't given much (if any) time for. Now, on the Maiden-fest..........I have 13 Maiden vinyls, most of the others on tape - Beast, Prayer, Real Live/Real Dead, Live After Death........and I don't have Maiden Japan at all. I just dug out an official VHS that I bought from K-Mart in the late-80's of a Di'anno performance from 1981. Must be over 20 years since I've watched it. Time to change that.

Some new albums I listened this week:

Quite a different album from them, but not bad at all. Squire's bass work is awesome I remember it's Argo's favourite Yes album, I wonder what happened to him


This one is not easy to listen: besides the lenght of the album, PG sings soooo much on this album and there are not many instrumental parts, it's exhausting


I bought the new vinyl reissue of Gilmour's "On An Island". I love that album, it's my favourite Floyd solo album, but didn't have a copy of it and this vinyl sounds great
It also comes with this really cool poster

Never saw him with a Gibson before

I also, while gone, received my Peter Gabriel box set of PG 1-4. These are the newly remastered editions cut to 45RPM and half-speed remastered. I just spun Side 1 of PG-1 and OMG, the sound is jaw-dropping...Clean, fluid and simply gorgeous! I am not a big fan of 45RPM LPs since the play time is only about 20min per side..but the sound quality more than makes up for that.

I finally gave it a listen, I was missing a great album. I love the raw energy and the awesome bass work

I received this week, this Portuguese Jazz Rock/Fusion classic album. It's the most expensive album I ever bought but still bellow the average price in its condition. It was worth it


I'll see Riverside tomorrow, I hope there will be some nice LPs there

Don't hate me, I'm not special like you!  It's the second time they'll play here, I think the first time was 5 years ago. Great, I'll have to get their best albums on vinyl then.

You could have stayed a few more days in Barcelona, they'll play there next Sunday

I will post pics over the weekend and more on the other albums.....too much fun!

I thought (and vaguely recall) the average time for an LP was 20 mins per side. Even though only going at 33 1/3.

heh, someone sometime is going to put one of these on at the, um, normal speed.... Moribund indeed...

:)

All the albums are fantastic sounding.....but so far III (Melt) sounds the best...
