Probably my second favourite of theirs.

Box set? I thought it was a stand alone LP. If you want to sell it, I would be interested.

Yes, it's the Atlantic Years Mono boxset, which comprises 6 LP's and a 7" single.

I used to have that LP.

Don't tell me, you gave it away or passed it on to a charity shop!! :lol:

[Pigmy Pony]

Don't tell me, you gave it away or passed it on to a charity shop!! :lol:

I bought this on vinyl two or three years ago, and I have to say I was a bit disappointed. It wasn't quite what I was hoping for. I will revisit it at some point.

I remember that coming out, my mate's sister bought it. She liked A Flock Of Seagulls too. I thought that was quite sophisticated taste at the time. Suppose it still is.

:lol: Well, if you've read my posts since I came on here, you'll know that although I have/use many formats, my fav is CD, although I do still play my vinyls on the odd occasion. For me, the 70's and the very early 80's were my vinyl days - when CD first arrived (around 1983/4) I moved to CD.

The Flock Of Seaguls album really is a great album!!! :thumbsup:

The Flock Of Seaguls album really is a great album!!! [emoji106]It's a very similar story for me, when CD arrived I switched to buying CD's, even selling vinyl and replacing them with the CD version as and when they were released, (in hindsight perhaps not the shruedest move with many first pressings sold for only a few pounds!!) love both mediums and fortunate to have cd and vinyl front ends which are equally enjoyable.

Charli XCX - Brat. Released earlier this year, the most modern thing my stereo has seen in a long time. Not sure if it's progress, but I borrowed it from a mate, so no buyer's remorse.

Not over-thrilled with SQ of the above, so went on dynamic range database. Where this scores from 02 to 07, so that's not great. Probably intended to sound good with crappy earbuds. So it's back to my last-century recordings.

I'd say the CD got off lightly; if it were me, it would not even been allowed in my house, let alone near my hi-fi system :lol: - IN A NUTSHELL........... 95% OF TODAYS MAINSTREAM MUSIC IS NOTHING MORE THAN FKN SH1T.............

I find the 'natter' between the songs annoying once you have heard them. Unfortunately there is little one can do with copies on vinyl.

I've never heard a Mick Ronson album, but after seeing a brilliant documentary about him (called "Beside Bowie" or something similar) I have thought about getting one. Would this one be your recommendation?

Side A is a bit weak (imho), really like side B though. I also have 'play Don't Worry' which is pretty good. Not sure how many he's done, I haven't sought these out so much as picked them up out of interest as they were at a reasonable price when rootling through a record fair or whatever.

[Pigmy Pony]

All right cheers Dom. Like you, I won't go out of my way, but if I come across one that's not silly money...

I used to have a copy, bought largely for the cover - a post-punk version of Manet's "Dejeuner sur L'herb ", which I found amusing. Sadly however the musical content didn't justify my keeping it.

I agree, the high school / college transition for me. Funny how music in this period tends to stay with you. I still rate it above anything before or after, memories I guess.

Those two Gary Numan albums are superb!!! I recently bought them both on CD to compliment my originals (by originals, I mean my original vinyls and my original alb CD's) as a comparison to how they evolved from the out-takes to the finished tracks and I gotta say I love em !!!

Also, your previous posts with ABC, Human League, Heaven 17 etc., I love those albums aswell........ I got em all :-) :thumbsup:

Most of my images come off the Amazon. I only do that because your laptop doesn't get my Ebay images. Because I'm thoughtful that way :) But even with Amazon I've no way of knowing how they'll turn out, until they do.

Whatever you do Loz, don't ever change, we love you just the way you are :kiss:

And it was you that put me onto David Sylvian/Japan, so that's something to shout about :) By the way, how old are you?

I would guess Loz is in his late '50s to early '60s.

With the exception of another Moderator, I think I might be the oldest Member here!

Steve, I'm the grand old (not really) age of 62 so I think Barry got it about right. :thumbsup:

Mike, relax, just for you, I'll turn it down a bit. :) :lol:

And yes Steve, I'm pleased I got you into Japan/David Sylvian....................... real worthy addition to anyone's collection and I'm glad you like em!! :thumbsup:

[Mikeandvan]

Yes the songs are what you touch you emotionally, stick in your memory, as you hear them day day out here there and everywhere. Vienna was pipped by Adam and his ants, though it probably is the more memorable record, very distinctive sound. Also Visage Fade to grey.

I've put the Visage albums on here quite a few times but, at the time, it didn't get much interest. I cant understand why as they are REALLY GOOD (IMHO) and are classics. I must say though, it's the first and second albums (Visage and The Anvil) that are the ones to get as the third album (Beat Boy) isn't quite up to scratch - you have to wait 30yrs before Visage returned and out of the blue did a really great album called Hearts & Knives; when I first got wind of that, I thought it would be just another attempt at a comeback for older artist/band............... BUT IT WASN'T!!! This was a REALLY GOOD album, mixing the classic sound of Visage with some newer sounds and really was beyond my expectations as I thought they couldn't recapture that original vibe...... but they did!!!

After Hearts & Knives, Steve and the band did another album called Demons to Diamonds but it wasn't as good as Hearts & Knives. Unfortunately, sometime after releasing Demons to Diamonds, Steve Strange died of a heart attack in 2015. I think there was another album released called Orchestral, a mostly live album containing twelve Visage songs remade with a symphony orchestra.

Yes I wouldn't call it a favourite, but a good 'un nonetheless. Especially "Ready Steady Go". I used to have the "Korean Edit" of this track on my iPod (that's going back a few years), which featured in the nightclub scene in the Michael Mann film "Collateral".

I have another of his ("A Lively Mind") which I don't think is as good, but it does kick off with "Faster Kill Pussycat" featuring Brittany Murphy, so there's that.

[Alex_UK]

Funnily enough, I thought if anyone would know this album it would be you, Steve! And yes, A Lively Mind is another good one, and agree not quite as good - the Brittany Murphy track being the standout but bitter sweet because of what ensued.

Bunkka has a particularly fond place in my heart as it was a favourite and played regularly when I was in Chamonix with a couple of mates doing my paragliding license in 2002, but that’s another story.

[Pigmy Pony]

EDM formed a big chunk of my music tastes in the early/mid 90s, starting out with William Orbit, The Orb and Orbital, which helpfully were all bunched together on my alphabetically-sorted shelves. Just as well as I could lose CDs for fun back then :)

I always found that section of my collection was obscured by little fluffy clouds, not so much now that they are all FLAC on hard drives.

Now moved on to Tiesto and In Search of Sunrise. Which would be fine if we were in the summer when it wouldn’t be very long before the sun comes up but at this time of the year I’ll be still sat listening when it’s time to get up!

That it is. And I'm hoping Santa will get my Christmas list, which includes a vinyl copy of "Ensoulment". I believe reviews have been a bit lukewarm, but I heard "Where do we go when we die?" the other day, and if the rest of the album is of a similar standard it'll do for me :)

I had never heard of him before, but Jalen Ngonda was on the Graham Norton Show last night, so checking out his debut album from last year, Come Around and Love Me.

More than a hint of Curtis Mayfield in his singing, and the music reminds me of some 70’s favourites of mine - Isaac Hayes, Al Green, even a bit Stevie Wonder in places. I’m asking Santa for a vinyl copy of this…
