Frances the Mute is accessible to a discerning listener, ‘The Bedlam In Goliath’ is a challenge.Quote:

Well my "Timothy Leary" days are a dim and distant memory, so I'll just have to rely on perseverance :eyebrows: I'll report back on what I think...Quote:

Got a notification from Ebay this morning that my order had been cancelled, and my payment refunded. Oh well... I now have Alexa shuffling songs by them. Started with "Televators", and following with "Blacklight Shine". Too different from each other to form an opinion so far, but sounds ok. As you say, might take a few listens.Quote:

Oh yes. This is the first album I ever bought. Cost me £2.10. I bought it again a few years ago, and it still sounds great. Good pressing too. Shame the new ones don't come with the old inner sleeve with a drawing of Marc on one side and Mickey on the other.Quote:

First purchased on cassette one week after release, played it to my friends who very soon all had a copy. I don’t think that happens much now.[emoji22]Quote:

I'm sure Ozzy would be thrilled to hear me describe it thus :)Quote:

I went for this coloured vinyl option against my better judgement, because it looked so cool. But the sound quality is A1, super-quiet vinyl. I'm a happy bunny.

A rather different style for me, I first heard this on CD at Renaisance Audio, and I was struck how good it was, it is the soundtrack from a quite well known Indian film. The music and production is quite stunning, and is very enjoyable, the tracks are varied with some impressive drumming and use of instruments and effects.. I have put streaming links below in case you fancy a different experience.
