Album Club - Discussion Thread Only

[Reid Malenfant]

You guys will have to forgive me as I'll be listening to what I have missed at a later date, while I'd love to get down to it, I'm just not fit enough to get through more than an album or two at the present :doh:

I tend to listen in clumps anyway as you may have noticed :lol:

[Alex_UK]

No worries, Mark. This week should be Welder (John) - but not seen his post so far - hopefully he'll be around later this evening for the next instalment. :)

Due to technical issues (John forgot, and I forgot to remind him earlier! :lol:) - there will a short delay with Album Club this week - expect to see Welder's much anticipated choice sometime tomorrow. :)

[The Grand Wazoo]

I'm looking forward to playing it through my oscilloscope & pronouncing it to be shite!
Just kidding John.

[Beechwoods]

I hope it's an analogue oscilloscope.

[The Grand Wazoo]

Absolutely - it's powered by an ancient Greek abacus!

[Alex_UK]

Well guys, you'll have to wait just a little bit longer - I'm away with work until this evening, and can't access Spotify/YouTube etc. until then, but I have what John has submitted and I'm sure you won't be disappointed! :)

[The Grand Wazoo]

You plonker Alex, one of the other mods could have done it!

[Welder]

Awww, cmon guys, where's the love? :D

My appologies to Alex for messing him about.

[Alex_UK]

You plonker Alex, one of the other mods could have done it!

Well yes, but I'm enjoying the suspense. :eyebrows: No, I meant I'm enjoying the suspenders! :lol:

All good things come to those who wait. And then there's John's Album Club choice! :lol: On the case now folks. :)

[Tim]

I've gone blue holding my breath today in anticipation . . .

There may be a short delay, but this week's album club will be coming later this evening - it is officially my week, but Rare Bird (André) wasn't quite in time last week, so I will be posting up his selection for you later this evening, and then I will take the next "reserve" slot.

Stay tuned! :)

Now there is a bit of karma :D I'm glad I took a look at who is doing what, as it appears I get to damage your eardrums again next week :rfl:

I promise you I will not be recommending any kind of ambient :)


Must get round to catching up with others recommendations to :doh:

[Alex_UK]

Album Club will be a reserve choice this week - only just in the door and lots to do so may be a little while, but should be posted later tonight. :)

[Alex_UK]

Martinh is too busy this week, so I'll be doing a reserve choice a little later. :)

[Alex_UK]

Thanks to Audio Al for this week's Album Club selection - an interesting choice and I am AMAZED I don't have a copy of this album...

Is there an album this week? :scratch:

[Alex_UK]

Sorry Tim - 1st time I've logged in in a couple of days as I've been side-swiped by man-flu - and surprised that I'm still alive - normal service will resume imminently!

[Tim]

No see . . . . I was reading an article recently which confirms that 'man-flu' really is worse for the male of the species than the female variety ;)

No sweat fella, just wondered that's all . . . glad to see you recovering.

While you are here Alex, do you know if the 'Album Club' guru (whoever he may be :whistle:) is taking submissions for the next round?

[Alex_UK]

While you are here Alex, do you know if the 'Album Club' guru (whoever he may be :whistle:) is taking submissions for the next round?

Yes please! ("He" responded very quickly to my PM! ;)) - I understand "he" is intending on sending a reminder this evening. :)

[MartinT]

Does "he" have mine safely? I've thought of another one for next time.

[Alex_UK]

I'll ask "him" to check. :)

(And I'll move this conversation to the Album Club discussion thread.)

[synsei]

'He' should have mine too Alex ;)

[Alex_UK]

:thumbsup: I'll check I mean "he" will check later. ;)

[pjdowns]

Ok maybe I'm being a little dumb but I don't really get this Album Club business.

Is it that each person has a opportunity to pick there album of choice and everyone else then listens to it and carry s out a review?

Also, how do you get to become a member?

I'd be quite interested in joining up its be good to try other albums that I might not of heard of and provide some of mine.

Look forward to un-confusing myself lol

Paul

[The Grand Wazoo]

There's no joining procedure Paul. Just pipe up after you've played one of the albums. Let us know what you think of it. It's especially interesting to hear what people think of something they hear for the first time. Also, it's sometimes it's nice to listen to a well known album with an attitude of someone coming to it for the first time. We prefer you to listen to the album before voting - even if you know it inside out.

In a couple of weeks, a new round will be announced and if you want to be included, just send a PM to Album Club, nominating your album & then a couple of weeks later we'll call for you to send in your post. When it's your turn, it will be posted for you. It comes up on a Tuesday. We like folks to follow to the 'Album Club corporate style' as set out in previous submissions.

[synsei]

I heartily recommend joining in with Album Club Paul. For my own part I've discovered artists and albums I might not have considered listening to under normal circumstances, many of which now have a staple position on my playlists ;)

Hi Chris,

I would very much like to be involved going forward and thanks for the heads up on how it works :)

[pjdowns]

It looks like we're just a few weeks away from getting to the end of the current Album Club rota, so this is probably a good time to begin thinking what might be your next choice. If you already know what it will be, then PM Album Club to make the nomination - just artist and title for now.

Cheers

[synsei]

Ah damn, sorry Mr Album Club sir, I've sent the entire kit & kaboodle... :eyebrows:

[Album Club]

We've already received some PMs from people who have decided which album they are going to nominate for the next round of Album Club. So, thanks a lot to you, what efficient people you are, to a man and/or woman.

Now then, it's time for us other lot to get deciding what we're going to offer our fellow AoSers when our slot comes around.
Deadlines are good, so we'll have one of those - let's say two weeks, near as dammit: Midnight on Sunday April 6th then please.

Remember - artist and album title only please, then you'll have another two weeks to write your thread starter.

Thanks a lot peoples.

Don't forget the deadline to get your album choices in for the next round is midnight this coming Sunday.

[Album Club]

Here's another reminder to get your next choice in to qualify for the next round of album club.
The deadline is Sunday night and there have only been 6 albums nominated so far.

Thanks to those 6 members for their prompt PMs.

[Album Club]

This week we've got a chance to play an album that has been offered to us by Paul (pjdowns)

Nitin Sawhney – Human (http://theartofsound.net/forum/showthread.php?31822-Album-Club-Week-140-08-04-2014-Nitin-Sawhney-%96-Human-(2003))





Next week will be the penultimate album in the current rota.
Thanks to everyone for sending their choices for the next one in - I'm still rounding up one or two. There have been some good choices and hopefully, we'll have a few new faces joining us this next time around.

In the meantime, there have been no duplications, so please begin putting together your thread starter post if you haven't already.
Deadline for that will be: Midnight on Sunday the 20th April

[Album Club]

This week, we've got an album chosen for us by Lee (webby). Thanks a lot Lee.

Talk Talk - The Colour of Spring (http://theartofsound.net/forum/showthread.php?31940-Album-Club-Week-141-15-04-2014-Talk-Talk-The-Colour-of-Spring)



I probably don't need to remind you that the new rota will be starting soon because I know you've all been busy working away on your text for your (excellent) selections!
Don't forget the deadline is soon so please begin putting together your thread starter post if you haven't already.
Deadline: Midnight on Sunday the 20th April

[Album Club]

Evenin' all!
Thank you very much to everyone who has sent their thread starters for the next round of Album Club in time for the deadline of last night.


However, some of you didn't make the deadline. So, even though you are welcome to still submit your offerings, I'm not going to do any more chasing except for one more round-robin PM to you all. If you send something in, then I'll put you on the end of the rota rather than retaining your current place in the queue.
So with that, I'll be publishing the rota sometime during the next week.

Cheers

[Album Club]

The final album in this round has been put forward by Andy (Tarzan), so thanks a lot to him.

Paul,
Yes sorry. Your week will be next week now. I needed to do something in a hurry because of a misunderstanding over who was going to do it this week (I've been away for a week) and yours needed links adding to it. Dave's was fully complete and ready to go so I grabbed that one.
Apologies once again. If it makes you feel any better, it should have been my go last week and I've got to wait till the end of the rota now!

[loo]

Hi Chris,
no problem ,I noticed you had vanished off the rota, please go next after Dave and then I will resume my place after you .
Cheers
Paul

[The Grand Wazoo]

No it's fine Paul - if I do that then I'll have to bump everybody a week. You'll be next week and then I'll just tag on at the end.
