I'm back!!!
An excellent reissue on 180gm, well worth getting, probably Madonna at her best IMO. I purchased it at the Heathrow airport on Mini-Disc on our way to Bali on holiday(1998), first day on the beach I laid back on the lounger in the warm with the sound of the sea and a hot breeze blowing over my body, I popped Ray Of Light on and closed my eyes and listened, I was totally blown away by the compositions, lyrically and musically, a wonderful moment, and this album has always been there with me ever since.

Same here - I bought it when it first came out, and I'm still undecided.Quote:

Being a fan of both Brian Eno & David Byrne, I bought it when first released, but Im still undecided too.Quote:

Been waiting to play this one for 2 months, I found a reasonably priced copy much to my surprise in January. So far it is fantastic, there is something about Shpongle that I really like, musically it is so varied and immersive and beautifully produced, toetappingly good exceptional sounds.

Just had a look on Ebay at Sgpongle vinyl prices, which range from :eek: to :eek::eek::eek: For that kind of money they'd have to come round and play live in my living room. And bring some groupies.
This was left in the loft of our new home, I have not heard it in years, but remembered it vaguely, I'd forgotten just how good it is, any self respecting 80's fan should have a copy IMO.

Left in the loft of our new home, indeed! That ranks alongside when women say "This old thing, I've had it ages" :D Always liked the song, but never heard the album.Quote:

Just listened to them on utube. Very interesting. Thank you for the heads up. I'll have to give them more attention in future.Quote:

Saturnalia - Magical Love. Was a picture disc (with all the sound problems) I also had a white lable version (no pictures) but now have it on CD.
In the meantime you've piqued my interest, so I've put a bid on a nice looking copy. :)Quote:

Picked this one up as re-released on Speakers Corner and it is a superb pure analog re-cut, my original copy had a few gremlins so worth the purchase. If you like the Doobies then get it, before they are gone. https://www.purepleasurerecords.com/...tegory=8316023
