Catching up on some Punk albums I've not heard all the way through before.
As usual some good stuff there Grant. :)
A couple of good ones there Dom. :)
I used to have a copy of 'Phantasmagoria', bought solely for the cover artwork by Bob Carlos Clarke:Quote:

Sadly the recording did not live up to the cover.
I do have Phantasmagoria and whilst I haven't listened to it for possibly 10 or more years it was definitely of the time and may not have aged too well - Scottish Widow type Woman on the cover ;) :lol:Quote:

*I was going to say 'Anything' but that is another Damned album I bought which, for me, failed to deliver.
I daresay that with the exception of 'Never Mind The B......' I'm not too into punk from that era.
I never bothered much with punk records, apart from Stranglers (does that count?) and "Never Mind..." For me that music was a case of You Had To Be There, and certainly not something I could sit and listen to.
I think that you are right in having to be there at the time. I do like the Stranglers and will give their back catalogue a work through at some point; certainly Peaches is a fave for me to stick on the Jukebox at the pubQuote:

If you haven't listened before then I'd say start with this album and think Black Sabbath meets Hawkwind.
Punk as a reset (OK, a timely 'kick up the arse') movement was needed to halt the increasingly self indulgent and excessive offerings from the likes of Rick Wakeman, ELP, Jethro Tull etc.
Ignoring The Police, who started out as a sort of 'punk-light', my favourite punk performers were/are Ian Dury and the Blockheads, The Stranglers, The Clash, Dead Kennedys, Talking Heads and John Cooper Clarke.
I bought the original version of this album when it came out in 2013 but didn't discover the 2015 Dub version until a couple of years ago - spinning now on Spotify while I muse adding a Sub to match my Adam T5V Monitors :scratch:

Re-mastered CD (1998)
An interesting internet journey from my last album to this one - something I hadn't heard of by artists I didn't know about until a short while ago....
On Spotify now - a rather Eno/Aphex Twin/FSOL type sonic journey so far.

Checked out the online catalogues and didn't like Nuha's as much as the live, but Life's sounded OK, but very different to the live sound too...

Ludivico Einaudi - 'I Giorni'
https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/...AC_SL1500_.jpg
2001 release from the world renowned symphonic composer. The inspiration for Ludovico Einaudi's 'I Giorni' was a 12th-century folk song from Mali about a hippopotamus who was cherished by the residents of a nearby village but killed by a hunter. 'The song,' writes Einaudi in his succinct liner note, 'is sung as a lament for the death of a king or a great person or for the loss of a loved one.' the result is a tender & introspective set of 14 piano pieces. This work was written after hearing the kora playing of Toumani Diabate whilst traveling in Mali. Recorded in 24-bit/96 kHz.
