Cheers Mike, just ordered Tin Drum on CD. £2.82 off Music Magpie :) Oh and you're right about the Devo album, 'twas produced by Eno.Quote:

Saying punky this morning (or is it post punk? I can't keep up). Just ahead of me getting my ear micro suctioned, so I may as well be playing the noisy stuff. So maybe I can call it deaf as a post punk :)

His 'Nine Horses' stuff is definitely worth a listen.Quote:

Cheers Loz, but I've just ordered 'Tin Drum', after that I'll follow your recommendations - Mrs. P gets an alert on her phone every time I make a purchase, so I'm trying to space them out ;)Quote:

I saw them touring this album about 1989, they made a big impression. Though the drugs might have helped with that...

The album has a sort of ambient/tribal vibe; I quite like it but, I cant speak for you so, give it a listen.
David Sylvians solo albums are worth a listen, especially "Brilliant Trees" which I think is superb!!!! I saw him live on that album tour at B/ham Alexandra Theatre - great !!!!!!
Happy listening :thumbsup:
You do seem to know your way round Japan's albums - your Jap's eye is most impressive :) The 'ambient/tribal' album you speak of sounds like my kind of thing...

New purchase, the original 1980s CD release. I know all the songs but it's the first time I've ever heard any of them in hi-fidelity.
Can't beat a bit of ZZ Top. :)
If you picked it up on a whim and have since been playing it regularly for 30yrs, that's what I call a proper endorsement !! It really is a great album !! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:Quote:

These days the only way to find decent vinyl in good nick and for a sensible price is by having a good look in antique/bric-a-brac shops. Mind you, you often have to wade through a lot of "tut" to find something of interest, and in my experience you are more likely to be successful with Classical music LPs (I think because those interested in this genre tend to take more care in handling them and playing them on a better than average record player).Quote:

And as far as boot sales are concerned - I don't even bother to look anymore: most of the stuff is of no interest to me and is usually in dreadful condition. Anyway the 'vampire' buyers have usually hoovered up anything half-decent, consulted their record buyer's guide and sell it on at many, many times what they paid for it.
i need to have a spare room sale sometime:D some kit and vinyl.. dvds etc..Quote:

Don't - I would want to buy up all of your Jazz and Blues LPs, just as my 'other half' is dropping hints as to my thinning out my music collection. And in getting rid of a lot of kit as well!Quote:

Stand firm Barry. It's your passion, so let her get used to fact.Quote:
