The Other Side of Life

Try Family Entertainment next then. It's maybe a bit more polished and while not as wild still very good. Have you heard the United States of America album yet? That's really strange. Lol.

To me "The Chase" sounds rather like if Peter Gabriel tried to swallow a goat, but he couldn't get that goat down his throat. Well, I guess you do have a silly side. Peter Gabriel in the studio singing while trying to swallow a goat!!! That's f**kin hilarious!

The mental image does make it funnier. :) Silliness is my dominant trait. Amongst my various silly sides (inside, outside, top-side, left-side, right-side, front-side etc.), my bottom-side may be the silliest of all. On second-thought, I think my backside is about the only serious side I have.

I like the United States of America, not sure how much you'd like it. It is an interesting slice of 60s experimental psychedelia. I tend to be into that kind of stuff -- reminds me of Silver Apples in part.

Totally enjoyed that. The only song that was a little boring imo was 'The Breeze.' And I was getting a bit of a Krokodil vibe from songs like 'Old Songs New Songs' and 'Hey Mr. Policeman.' Most interesting album I've listened to in a long time.

Great to hear! Music In a Doll´s House has been one of my biggest faves in last ten years (it was 2010 or 2011 I listened it first time). Family Entertainment is great follower, it has some country or more folk music influences than MIaDH, but anyway it has also many really great songs! And if you like it, then just continue with a Song For Me, Anyway and Fearless. They´re all really great!

Hope it's as memorable as the one tonight! And no I haven't heard this 'United States of America' deal. I guess if it's strange but also good I might have to check it out as well at some point. Well, it has a 4.16 rating on here if that means anything to you but yeah I definitely recommend it. At this point I think you can handle it. I haven't heard Silver Apples though(apart from a track here or there on college radio). I won't throw too many more suggestions at you though(right now). Stick with Family Entertainment for now.

Yeah man, that was good! Several good songs on that. Second Generation Woman was a pretty good rocker and Face in the Cloud was just fantastic. I liked that a lot.. right on.

So you will like their next three albums, they´re on the same level as Entertainment.

If you like the more rocky-bluesy type tracks you may well like some of the (Chapman-Whitney) Streetwalkers albums though i'd say just listen to 'Red card' for now. And don't miss out on the various songs that Family put out as singles which didn't feature on their (original) albums (but have probably been added as extra on subsequent CD re-issues) such as 'In my own time', "No Mules fool' and where it all started (before they recorded Music in a Dolls House) 'Scene thru the eye of a Lens' their debut single which is very Psych. Enjoy the other Family lps; they're the best thing to come out of Leicester since the Cloth trade!

Alan Parsons Project is not my music at all, Kansas is not also my biggest faves, but I like it anyway. You can start from their first album, it´s already really good, but of course Leftoverture is their greatest album.
