Not anyone's favourite Bowie album, but I've always liked it. And on vinyl too, as it should be :)Quote:

All Them Witches - ATW
Whereas I feel it adds useful background info and interest to who Bowies influences were and how they shaped his music. I don't care if they are better than the originals, or not, that is not what the Album is about. Differing views do make life more interesting though.Quote:

Sleeping Through the War
I don't think he needed to add anything to them, not for me anyway - I like the songs, and I like Bowie. That's good enough for me. The originals were before my time so the Bowie versions were new to me - if I'd grown up with those songs I would feel differently I'm sure.Quote:

Going through the oddities box, which lead me to this - The Infinity Project, a Raja Ram (Shpongle) Goan Trance band. A rare pre “official” white label copy where all the tracks are mixed up.
A superb (double LP / EP) record.
Not listened to that in years - had it on tape but gave it away.
Nice one- but then so is much by the late great John Martyn.Quote:

Did I give the impression I really like this album? Well I do.

''Pretzel Logic contains shorter songs and fewer instrumental jams than Steely Dan's previous album, Countdown to Ecstasy (1973), as the group had decided to attempt to produce complete musical statements within the three-minute pop-song format''

Yet again, surprised at how good the lowly CDP is ��

Low - Things We Lost in the Fire
This is another often overlooked gem of an album from the 1980's.

Next up and vinyl and another 1980's classic live album (check out track 2 side 2!), from a group who gave us six equally brilliant studio albums between 1978 and 1991, plus a solo career for Mark Knopfler which has given us another ten solo albums, nine soundtrack albums and four collaboration albums including the often overlooked Missing, Persumed Having a Good Time from the Notting Hillbillies.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...6c86923324.jpg
