Today was more spirited towards ARENA, Manzi Era
ARENA— The unquiet Sky, Double Vision, 7th degree of Separation. All are really terrific musically. All are pretty poor recordings, however they are all albums I truly like. Manzi will not be forgotten, but I just can’t wait to hear how Damian Wilson bonds with the band. I think it is gonna be huge. |

Amazing Steve. Nice plunge. I recommend 1990’s Last Rights and 1985’s Remission. You really get a terrific scope of what they are truly capable of.

@Nick - I actually know very little about Skinny Puppy, but thought I’d probably like them so I picked up that album when I had the chance. Definitely good stuff, quite dark, how I like it.

@Davidovich - thanks for the Van Jalen recs - I found a CD that includes your top 2 (Dragon/Hypothesis) in one package, so good value there! Re: Trad Gras och Stenar, what I listed was actually disc 3 of a 3 disc self-titled set I got. I’m not sure if it’s 3 albums packaged together or a bunch of unreleased stuff or what. Maybe you can enlighten me - I haven’t done my homework on the band yet. https://www.discogs.com/Träd-Gräs-Och-Stenar-Träd-Gräs-Och-Stenar/master/984708

I'm not that familiar with Vangelis massive catalog. I've recently got into his music, so far I own a copy of Heaven and Hell, Opera Sauvage, Themes, 1492 and Rosetta. The latter being a beutiful electronic album to get lost into, with many highlights like the TD inspired Perihelion. I'll definitely get more of his albums. |

I am also very very sick when I refrain from listening to any type of music...so yeah I know exactly what you mean Steve. Luckily it’s been a while...wheeew. Vangelis recs: The Dragon and Hypothesis. Probably a bit tough to find, but I’m fairly certain that you’ll enjoy some of the old Greek master’s more rambunctious material. The Dragon is pure Krautrock imho. As for his more widely known material? Get Earth, China, Beaubourg and Antarctica...see if anything clicks...and perhaps afterwards check out his comradery with Jon the bon I had to double check but it seems you own a Träd, Gräs & Stenar album that I don’t. What is this madness?!?

Re Vangelis, I’ve heard very little, but recently have bought & enjoyed 2 early-ish ones (Opera Sauvage & L’apocalypse des Animaux). Looking forward to getting more. What are the must-haves? Question 2: Jon & Vangelis -yay or nay?
2 days’ albums below. I was quite sick yesterday, the day after getting my 2nd dose of the Covid vaccine, but I’m back in business today. Only one of these (the first) was yesterday. You know I’m sick when I don’t even want to listen to music!

^Nice little trilogy there. How do you feel about Rosetta? I’ve been listening to a lot of Vangelis lately and kinda overdosed on Rosetta a couple of years back..but have been meaning to revisit it lately. I feel it is one of his finer latter day offerings and I really really dig the sounds of the synths.

^I do have a vinyl copy of Faith but it’s been ages since I last heard it. My apartment is immune to soundproofing...I can hear my neighbours fart and have the occasional wham-bam-thank-you-mam - the latter of which most often is carried out to the soothing sounds of Celine Dion
 Also part of why I got hooked by headphones....and well headphones and LPs generally don’t mix that well, at least not per my tastes. Not really sure what I’d call my fave Cure album. These days I’m head over heels in love with Kiss Me•3 and Wish. Yesterday: Kosmischer Laüfer - Vol 2 Stevie Wonder - Fulfillingness’ First Finale Exmagma - Goldball Klaus Schulze - Blackdance Beck - Odelay Aphex Twin - Syro Pulsar - The Strands Of The Future Dr. John - The Sun, Moon & Herbs Herbie Hancock - Mwandishi Edited by Guldbamsen - April 22 2021 at 01:56 |

Holy crap. Steve and Dave are killing it. Nice tunes my friends.
Dave. Faith is my favourite Cure album. I really look forward to your opinion on it. It is as old as me! ;) Steve: I had no idea you like Skinny Puppy. God. I’ll let you and Dave fight it out for who is the most diverse listener on the planet. :) Today was light. Queensrÿche— Live Evolution ( surprised how good this is. Really appreciate digging this one out. Very dynamic sounding live album. ) Arena— The Unquiet Sky ( God what a beautiful album, but man is it horrendously mastered. Hard listen but incredible music. 2015’s best for me. ) I also found out just now that Damian Wilson is gonna be Arena’s new singer. I think this is amazing. Only took me almost a year to find that out. I’m a poor excuse for a Prog head. ) |
