I need to make the room bigger first, knock down some walls... There is an ex-dem pair for sale on Ebay for £17.5k, in case anyone's wondering what to get Ste for Christmas this year :)Quote:

Yes 'Tormato' LP.
Must be 40 years since I last heard this. Melodically and instrumentally it's loads better than its reputation, however Jon Anderson's lyrics excavate the very depths of lameness. Best listened to while working on something else.
So who's your favourite All Saint? For me it's Melanie Blatt. It could have been Nicole Appleton, but her taking up with Robbie Williams and then Liam Gallagher ruined her chances with me - her life could have been so different, now she'll never know :)Quote:

If only she knew, eh ?Quote:

She was probably thinking 'Better The Devil You Know.'Quote:

Triumph - Just A Game
Trawling through LPs from my teenage years. I was into Rush at the time so I investigated Triumph, another Canadian power trio. Side two meanders too much and you can see why Rush remained Canadian music's chief export. Side one is much better than I remember though, being direct and Montrose-ish. Hell, let's spin that again...
I knew something was wrong but I didn't know what. Then I realised I hadn't listened to any Dan for a few weeks.

Gosh, how many years since I last listened to this ?
Great choice :)Quote:

A classic. Not quite as good as the first one but that was a very high bar.Quote:

I think I may have a spare copy of Northern Exposure. I'll take a look.Quote:

Rush 'Permanent Waves' LP
For all of the great albums that they made, most contain a weak spot. The older I get I reckon that PW has the most evenly high standard and so is probably the one I'd vote as their best.
Working from home today for the first time in a while, haven't had much time to listen to music lately with end of H1 being manic with work. Kicking off with this:
CamelPhat - Dark Matter (2020)

Awesome album this, with a whole host of collaborations, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Matter_(CamelPhat_album
Good choice! :)Quote:

A few minutes in I just wasn't feeling it (probably because it was overplayed back then), but as it went on it got better :) Still not what it was though, and it's not the music's fault, just that I'm thirty years older and I'm preferring 'real' instruments these days.
Superb mix though, one of the very best :)

Roger Glover 'Elements' LP
A random purchase from back in the '70s when I was into Deep Purple. Glover borrows the Munich Phil and Simon Phillips and, partnered by Martin Birch, goes for symphonic light rock. It didn't chart anywhere to my knowledge but it's better than it has any right to be. In fact I think I'll spin it again...

XTC ‘The Big Express’ LP
I’ve moved on a couple of shelves and it’s 1984. In TBE Swindon’s finest sing about Swindon’s railways, semi-successfully. When it works it’s up there with any of their best, but several tracks don’t have the strength of the material on their three preceding albums. The die cut sleeve probably lost them money.
Maybe make money for me one day :) Some good songs on it but overall I prefer The Black Sea. Never got to see them live, which is a shame, it wasn't for want of trying. But Andy Partridge had issues I believe, and wasn't up for touring.Quote:
