Great soundtrack album with some really good blues influenced tracks done by Jeff Healey and his Band.
I once had a free CD by Jeff Healey, it was a mini CD only about 3" diameter. That format vanished as quick as it appeared.Quote:

No, it was before I got my first CD player, and by the time I got one I'd lost the CD :doh: I may have got it free with some magazineQuote:

Malawi-born singer Malia's voice I'm struggling to describe, but I'm confident you would really like it.
One of the songs from the album:

I read somewhere a couple of years ago that Boris Blank had died and so there would be no more Yello. Turns out he's very much alive, age 71. :scratch: Who starts these rumours, and why?

not played it in years. I did have the vinyl from when it came out, but don't know what happened to it. I must have given it away I think.
Got the CD last year in the charity shop for a quid. Anyway, I'm almost through it and it's not that great
I remember Trigger once saying "I think Gandhi is overrated - he did one good film, then nothing"... Similar with Fleetwood Mac's "Rumours" (although the old Peter Green stuff is proper imo).Quote:

He's a very talented musician but I really don't rate his songs. I have one of his solo albums and it's diabolical. I think McVie was the best songwriter in the mk2 line-up.Quote:

I agree - I have a copy and it's definitely not essential, just like 'Tusk' (:doh:). In fact the only post Peter Green Fleetwood Mac albums to have are the first two: 'Fleetwood Mac' and 'Rumours', and to my ears they are very good.Quote:

Bought this 'on spec' for 50p in a charity shop. I've played it twice now - it's not inoffensive, she can sing, but the overall effect is pretty anodyne, and I found myself not really listening to it.
Oceania – 'Oceania'

Label: Point Music – 536 775-2
Format: CD, Album
Country: Europe

Genre: Electronic, Folk, World, & Country
Style: Tribal, Downtempo, Synth-pop
Interesting mixture of Maori folk culture, sung by Maori singer Hinewehi, with the presentation and production of post-punk ex-UK 'Killing Joke' Jaz Coleman.
Again another disc bought 'on spec' from a charity shop for 50p.
It's not bad, but again I found it to wash over me without any real effect. It may grow on me.
Disappointed with the above, I played this afterwards:
Sacred Spirit – 'Chants And Dances Of The Native Americans'

Bought this on it's release, and to my ears it has stood the test of time.

Yes, I think I might. Thanks Steve.Quote:

Great album cover.
1130 - time the neighbours got subjected to some loud music I think.:D
The logical follow up to your first two selections would be Fripp/Eno No Pussyfooting, I thought that's where you was heading :)Quote:
