Albums You're Digging II

BT - ESCM (1997)

Very 90's, very lush, and certainly not what kiRAB are dancing to these days. Still a great freakin' trance album though.

I'm not so much bored with Grace but considering I got it on release and caught Buckley live I have just moved on. I have to admit that over the years going to peoples places and them asking me if I have heard this "brand new album" they have just found and then playing over and over, it has nowadays a certain jaded feel. Sorry carry on.
 
I've been listening to Fabolous' Loso's Way pretty heavily lately. I also decided to listen to Serj Tankian's solo album and remerabered how much I loved it so those two are on heavy rotation for me atm.
 
Swans - Soundtracks For the Blind

One of the most brain-meltingly immense mindfuck albums and absolutely spot on for this time of night. Kinda wish I'd heard it when I was doing the top 100 now.

"Everyone knows that you are fucked up, and everyone knows that I am fucked up, but does anyone know that you are more fucked up than me?"

Pretty catchy, though not an album I'll be listening to too much. I could see these songs very easily getting boring after repeated listens. So it shall sit in my library, collecting dust until I decide to listen to its hooks again.
 
The other thing is i don't have to search for discs anymore... and in my micropacked apartment those discs are often well tucked away.... it's nice to have my tunes just aq click or two away...
 
May well be, but I am just not caring. I like, I listen. I'm so tired of the Genesis without Gabriel were crap notion as well. They weren't. Phil Collins started to suck pretty quickly but Genesis were more than just him with louder keyboarRAB, and sometimes you just wish some of the so called "open minded music fans" you encounter would actually open their minRAB to some of this music (not just write off the ballaRAB and Invisible Touch type hits).

Mock if You will, but this is a darn good live set. Can't hear anyone these days coming near this in terms of complexity / creativity in the pop genre....
 
Hmmm, the bare essentials i think would be..

Death Valley 69 (Bad Moon Rising)
Star Power (Evol, great album but its had to choose a stand-out)
Schizophrenia (Sister)
Dirty Boots and Kool Thing (Goo)
Sugar Kane and Youth Against Fascism (Dirty)
Bull In The Heather (Experiment Jet Set, Trash and No Star)
The Diamond Sea (Washing Machine)
Sunday (A Thousand Leaves)
The Empty Page (Murray Street)
Reena (Rather Ripped)

For starters anyway.

Something like 5 million tracks of R&B girl-group/ rock n' roll/ doo wop/ skiffle-influenced greatness, never gets old, although it doesn't have any Gerry & the Pacemakers, who were mental. Lots of 'la-la-la-la-la-la' harmonising and other such Merseybeat antics. Recommended if you are fond of early Beatles etc.
