So now my mission for this evening is to play albums by bands with places in their name that are not where they actually come from...
Berlin - Count Three & Pray (1986)

Where to, next? Africa? Too obvious...
Beirut - Gulag Orkestar (2006)

Another one dragged out that hasn't seen the light of day in a long while.
Now I remember why I haven't played it in eons! Bit of a dirge, I couldn't finish it, so now to a Scottish duo, and their debut album:
Boards of Canada - Music Has The Right To Children (1998)

and what a debut ! They've never bested it, imo.Quote:

Final one for the night, one of my favourites, so no hardship playing this band who really hale from Croydon...
Saint Etienne - Words And Music By Saint Etienne (2012)

And I've just spotted they released 2 new albums in 2024 and 2025 I didn't know about! :eek: Looks like I've got some catching up to do, that's the problem when you like so many bands and artists!
Incredible session tonight: truly incredible !
Today I've been playing all of Roxy Music's studio albums, and IMO 'For Your Pleasure' is their best by a long chalk. Virtually every track is a winner.Quote:
