Metronomy - English Riviera

Hard to classify, but the first vid, 'The Look' is kind of a mix of pop and a dark haunting carnival organ sound, dunno why but it works for me. I would never have thunk it, but the organ 'solo' works too!
The female drummer works for me too ;)
The third vid 'She Wants' reminds me of Gary Numan a bit.

Well i don't know if you guys would know but when im outside looking at the stars I put a bit of Hardstyle music (Dance Music) quietly even though it is a loud type of music. Im 15 so you guys that are older probably would think what the hell is up with this kid.:lol::rofl::D

Some of the songs have a dreamy feel to them. Thats why i put it on hahaha

If you want to see what type of music i listen just look up this song : 2 Best enemies-Phases (TBY Romatic Mix)

Ahhhh, hearing that reminds me of the old days (haha, was only the early 90's) when raves were illegal and you would only find out where it was hours before and then drive to some remote farm or warehouse or similar that was hosting it and it was very likely to be shut down by dozens of cops.

[AstralTraveller]

Snap!! :thumbsup: I listened to some a couple of hours ago. Before that was Bigfoot and the Prehistoric Dogs - Prowess. I hadn't heard it before and it is very good; modern but mostly sounds like it could be from the 70's. Recently I also rediscovered, in my vinyls, Fischer - Z 'Red Skies Over Paradise'. It's one of those lost classics - songs like The Writer, Battalions of Strangers and the title track (about the H bombing of London as seen from Brighton) have been going round in my head for days.

[acropolite]

I'm partial to Fischer Z, one of out local bands used to cover a lot of their stuff. Might have to dig out my CD.

After Doug mentioning Ricky Lee Jones on FB, I've been enjoying her Self titled album from 1979.

[AstralTraveller]

Last night I watched B.B. King live at Montreaux back in '93, when he was a sprightly 67 year old. Perhaps he was past his best then but still a class act.

Just listened to Pampered Menial by Pavlovs Dog and now Animal Notes by Crack the Sky. I put both in much the same category - basically 'so-so' bands that produced one classic album. Worth a listen every year or two.

[astroboof]

Titanic Requiem - track 5 'sub-astris' (under the stars). Very evocative music well suited to deep sky pursuits I reckon.

Ooh, nice to see a fellow Klaus Schulze fan. I'm sure I've left a few droppings in this thread with links to some classic KS.

H

[Eratosthenes]

That particular album in the 1980s (Tonwelle) is a classic IMO. I have driven on country roads with that CD blowing out the speakers,

Do you know who the actual guitarist is on that album? - he is listed as Karl Wanhfried - Rumour has it that he is a famous guitarist playing under a different name (perhaps Carlos Santana or the Ashra Tempel guitarist). Mike Shrieve (ex Santana) play superb drums on this album

[Octane]

I'll have to do a bit of digging around to get to the root of it!

I can't pick a favourite Klaus Schulze album, or series (such as DSOTM with Laswell and Namlook). I love all his work. :)

have you heard of The Necks? An experimental 3-piece acoustic group out of Sydney. Just saw them a few months ago. Very unique group - cant really put them in any musical genre - maybe they have their own with only them in it.

They started off playing together in the late 1980s and would not allow anybody else to hear their music - it was purely for the 3 of the musicians.

They improvise most of their live performances and CD releases - usually one track on each CD. A recent CD is called "Open" (patience is needed with this lot)

Was watching foxtels music channel Max with a segment about Sia, powerful voice , her video for the song breathe me is great I thought.

You should hear Ulrich Schnauss' remix of Breathe Me. I don't know if there's a proper version, but, I'll go take a look.

I love Ulrich's music, he's amazing. Of course, him giving me permission to use his music in a slideshow of my landscape photography has nothing to do with my appreciation of him! :P

Sadly, this is as close as I could get; the proper version is 7-minutes long: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VlHgjQMd5cE

Gong sounds cool, might have to get a copy for in the car.

I was listening around the 18 minute mark on the second link and thinking the drumming reminded me of Bill Bruford in Yes. So I googled it! Funny that he was not on that album but the drumming style sounds so much like him.

[AstralTraveller]

Great band aren't they! I like them in both their phases; the older space-rock outfit when Daevid Allen was in the band and albums like 'Floating Anarchy' and 'Angel's Egg' and the latter more jazz-rock period you mentioned when Pierre Moerlen was leading the band. I've also realised there is a lot of stuff by 'Pierre Moerlen's Gong' which I must get around to hearing.

Paul, back in the 70's I used to reckon that the three best drummers getting around were Bill Bruford (Yes and King Crimson), Carl Palmer (ELP) and Pierre Moerlen (Gong). I'd add a few more names now but those three are still right up there IMHO.

Many and various. And Tinnitus, which is a bugger. The best part of a decade working in a noisy environment (RAAF RADAR equipment halls) plus the last 15 years driving to and from work (Up to three hours a day) is catching up with me!

You would think that driving to work in a quiet car would be OK, but then when you add it up, 70% of my trip is at highway speeds and even a quiet car is probably near 90db which adds up to around 6000 hours or more of significant exposure!

Bowie's last album "Blackstar" (love it), David Lynch's "The Air is on Fire" (bought this post his exhibition and chats here in Brisbane a few years ago - a dark, brooding soundscape) and, at the instance of my 6 year old daughter, the Moana soundtrack (saw the movie a few days ago). Listening mostly in the car on trips to Moogerah.

[sharpiel]

Great songs Paul. All deep and meaningful.. "On the Turning Away" in particular is profound. And aren't many of us "Comfortably Numb"?

For me right now after a hard day doing what I do "Rocket Man" by Elton John. Sometimes I really feel I'm ..."burning up my fuel out here alone..."

[AstralTraveller]

I just spent the weekend at the Illawarra Folk Festival and feel thoroughly recharged. It's amazing how much talent is out there and how wide ranging 'folk' is these days.

My 'band of the festival' goes to The Northern Folk from Albury with Sissybones (Brisbane) and The London Klezmer Quartet as runners up. As it happened TNF were the first and last act I saw. I arrived on Sat a bit tired and grumpy after enduring the stinking hot night before but they picked me up and got me smiling. Then, on the Sunday afternoon when my energy was waning, they actually had me up and dancing - something that rarely ever happens when I'm sober. The average age of the band is 22, so I hope they have a bright future.

My bravery award, though, goes to Harman and Hellens, a five piece straight ahead bluegrass band, who were playing in an old stable, under a tin roof, when the heavens opened on Sunday morning. Very quickly, the band couldn't hear each other (they play without foldback) and then the audience could hardly hear the band. The musicians had to move closer to hear each other. They played 'Cold Sheets of Rain' when it started but then had to play their most foot-stompin numbers.

The festival is very well run with a friendly atmosphere. There are 11 stages plus a kids venue, so there is always too much to chose from; the biggest disappointment is always the acts you miss. That's why I go every back year!

[The_bluester]

I have taken a bit of a liking to these guys (Walk Off The Earth)

They do "Unusual" covers but there is some real talent through the group.

HRH is at work, the only chance to blow the wax out of the ears with some "wierd" (HRH's words) music..... Listening to Prazsky Vyber II live, on DVD, Aussie Glen Proudfoot on Guitar. Michael Kocab of Prazsky Vyber also has some excellent clips on youtube from the collaborative album Aftershocks with Aussies Virgil Donati and Glen Proudfoot.

I miss being home which has an iron roof and a huge open fire ...about as good as it gets.
Alex

[pfitzgerald]

How true - my current home has tiles (:() and no open fireplace (:().

If ever I have the opportunity to leave the city for country life, a tin roof and open fireplace are very high on the priority list!

Paul

[Larryp]

I had my tile roof replaced with an iron roof a couple of years ago, and with all the insulation they put in it, it is sadly no more noisy than a tile roof.

Have to agree there Lewis :thumbsup:

I was sitting on the verandah with a coffee this morning where we are in the bush and the silence was wonderful.

Then about 30 cockatoo's landed in a Gum by the dam and started to sing their song. :D

The Cocteau Twins this week - reliving my youth, also reminds me of the 'aria' in 'the fifth element' and that I should really get back into good opera

Bloody Hell -haven't heard the Cocteau twins for years. Saw them at Leics Uni and had a lot of vinyl from those days.
Currently am listening to Stornoway, Beachcomber's Windowsill and Terra Firma. :thumbsup:

"Sharing Stories 3" by Hi-5, for the 1,000th time - my son loves it!

[acropolite]

Frankie Goes To Hollywood live at Wembley (2004 I think). Most of the original band reunited for the concert. Original lead singer Holly Johnson declined to perform so they auditioned and selected a new front man, Ryan Molloy, who IMO does a better job than Johnson ever did. They performed Welcome to the Pleasuredome, Two Tribes and Relax. The performance really does credit to the band, the audio and visuals are superb.

Tres Hombres - ZZ Top - 1973

I love the Texas Blues riffs in Jesus Just Left Chicago and Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers.

And of course, La Grange and Waiting for the Bus.

This would have to be their best all round album (granted I haven't yest listened to their more recent stuff).

Hearing a younger Billy Gibbons, gives one an idea of just how long these guys have been in the game. They will be coming up on 50 years in 2019.


Second on rotation is Stevie Ray Vaughan's "Texas Flood" Album. A session demo that became an album, that won Double Trouble a Grammy!

[JA]

^ Love ZZTop / La Grange, but they didn't do it recording justice at the time as the dynamics are compressed in the original studio, although better in a 2005 remaster i've heard. You should jump out of your skin (much more) when the drums first attack. I like this "live" version a little better in that respect.....

Dad recently gave me his old 78 rpm records he collected during WW2 when he was in New York at that time. So I have been listening to Duke Ellington all morning.

[ChrisV]

A Mott the Hoople compilation. Didn't they epitomise an era.
Graham Pushee (Julius Caesar). Just beautiful.
Johnny Marr. Well what can you say
And the original and the greatest. The Church.

[AstralTraveller]

:2thumbs::2thumbs::2thumbs: What a great thing to have.

[billdan]

Thanks David,

Dad was in the RAF stationed in Canada flying a Catalina aircraft looking for U-Boats in the great lakes. Whenever he got a weekend pass he drove to New York to visit all the night clubs there. He was lucky and got to see all the famous jazz bands of that era, one of his favorites was Fats Waller playing in Greenwich village. Fats produced over 4000 records in 10 years of his career.
He handed down to me 400+ records, which I am gradually saving the audio to my hard drive. Most are in good condition and scratch free.

[Boozlefoot]

You old hoon! Brings back great memories;) For me at this moment it's Gomez, "Abandoned Shopping Trolley".

[The Mekon]

While observing I usually have the radio on either 95.7 ABC Classics or the local 88.0 vintage FM. Last night while waiting for clouds to clear the local station was playing the Idi Amin song from the 1970's. I thought it was very appropriate considering what is happening to the despot Mugabe in Zimbabwe right now!

I can't seem to link this...but have a look at Justin Johnson playing a three string shovel guitar on utube.

As usual, the local university radio station 2NURFM (103.7 FM)

They play mostly 70's and 80's music, always mellow and relaxing.

Saw one his last gigs in 2006 at the Earlwood Bardwell Park RSL club

Missed the gig at the Basement

Anyone else into his music ?

Yes Martin he is not bad on the guitar but I dont think folk think about that ability.

My tinnitus.

[acropolite]

@ Martin, I saw Billy Thorpe in the early Aztecs a couple of times around the Sunbury era, still have the original Hoax is Over Vinyl album with the censorship beeps. Saw him again when he returned from the US, he was brilliant.
The Live at Boggo Rd Jail DVD is worth getting, his version of Fleetwood Macks World Turning is amazing.

[FlashDrive]

Anyone else into his music ?

I have 3 ' black and white ' video clips featuring his songs....

Poison Ivy ( 1964 ) .... and ... I told the Brook ... and ...Twilight Time ( from Brian Henderson's Bandstand 1960's )

If you had a No 1 song on the charts in those days, it was called ' Hit Pick of the Week '

Hi Raymo
You too!!!!!!!

Over the years I found a sort of cure for tinnitus.
Don't listen to it!
Thats it.
Pretty hard though when its nearly deafening but don't focus on it and it sort of goes away.
Listen to it and its the only thing you hear!!!!

Got up,this morning and put on some Iggy Pop /The Passenger followed by Lou Reed /Sweet Jane.
Great start to the day.

Silence.

Almost 10am on a Sunday, and everyone else but me still asleep. Bliss.

Jeff Buckley's rendition of the The Smiths' - "I know it's over."

Pat, the Skatalites are great, and have been around forever. I like some of Barrington Levy's stuff, like Murderer, and Black Roses. U-Roy and Gregory Isaacs did some really good music, as did bands like the Melodians.

[raymo]

Hi Andy, I have had it for probably 40yrs, and have long since learnt to ignore it most of the time. The only time it gets to me a little is when I am somewhere where there is no or very little ambient noise. Having said that,
it does make my poor hearing even worse by intruding when I'm trying
to hear what someone is saying.
