This time twenty-one years ago I was in Whistler CA on my 2nd Ski holiday with Sue, still learning how, I think it was a good snow that year.Quote:

Got the original vinyl bought the day it came out. Never got around to getting the CD but suppose I should.Quote:

Picked up in a charity shop. Not bad - typical mid '80s pop, but not outstanding.
Gary Numan – 'Savage: Songs From A Broken World'

Label: BMG – 538307882
Format: CD, Album, Deluxe Edition, Stereo
Country: Europe

Typical Gary Numan, this time pretending to be some sort of Saharan camel rider in 'bondage' gear. Not bad, but comes in unnecessary 'over the top' packaging of near A5 size, making it hard to file along with his other stuff!
Bat For Lashes – 'The Haunted Man'
https://i.discogs.com/8anz3oRwq087TO...U4LmpwZWc.jpeg
Label: Parlophone – 5099901730821
Format: CD, Album
Country: UK
Released: October 15, 2012
Genre: Electronic, Rock, Pop
Style: Indie Rock
Still working out whether I like this or not. Sound very similar to the rest of her output, but lacks the freshness of 'Fur and Gold'. Needs a few more listens.
Pink Floyd – 'Animals'
https://i.discogs.com/Ry3fea4qdAUoTR...DEuanBlZw.jpeg
Label: EMI United Kingdom – 7243 8 29748 2 6
Format: CD, Album, Reissue, Remastered
Country: Europe
Released: 1994
Genre: Rock
Style: Alternative Rock, Prog Rock
IMO, one of the weakest of Pink Floyd's output - only played for 'Sheep', which I do like.
One for Loz perhaps?
Roger Waters – 'Us + Them'
https://i.discogs.com/02pE97XC389Gxp...wNS5qcGVn.jpeg
Label: Columbia – 19439707712, Legacy – 19439707712
Format: 2 x CD, Album, Stereo
Country: Europe
Released: October 2, 2020
Genre: Rock
Style: Art Rock, Prog Rock, Arena Rock
Soundtrack to the film by Sean Evans and Roger Waters. Filmed in Amsterdam during Roger Waters' 2017/18 European tour.
Typical of Waters 'ploughing his own furrow', post Floyd. This live recording lacks the impact of the studio albums, both Floyd and Waters, yet is an interesting listen in its own right.
Fantastic!!! I've never seen the CD of that album with the original cover....................... as you say, ssuuupppeeerrrrrrrr RAREQuote:

I would agree with these observations. Additionally the dimensions of the CD case are stupid and pointless, also the omission of 'Comfortably Numb' which is included with the DVD) is inenexcusable. But as a whole I think it is interestingly different. I only play it when Mrs P is out, where the hooligan in me runs it at at levels where the low frequencies do their best to move the furniture around...Quote:

Prompted by Dom's earlier choice:

Good one! Pleased to see she is recording again, having taken time out to look after her partner.
I did a quick read up on her:Quote:

So only four albums in 18 years, though there have been other projects. Such a lovely delicate voice, you'd never guess she hails from Leeds :)
Mrs. P has just left the house, so... this should get the Loz seal of approval :)

The very best of Bowie there. In fact my favourite album by anyone, ever. It has lived in my collection for more than 50 years, and still gets played.
Bit more noise before I have to go out.

Re. Hunky Dory
I have his first LP, then there is a gap until his 'Berlin period' and then Scary Monsters.
I ought to investigate his early period more, but having had 'Pinups' and not liking it, it put me off somewhat.
Time for some real noise.....
Hawkwind – X In Search Of Space
Label: United Artists Records – UAG 29202
Format: Vinyl, LP, Album, Gimmix Cover + Booklet
Country: UK
Released: 1971
https://i.discogs.com/yvBlX4SGfHg2WX.../OC5qcGVn.jpeg
'Pin Ups' is really just a selection of covers, and not really representative of his work during that period.
I can heartily recommend Hunky Dory, but then I would say that... it's the Bowie I grew up with, so there will be a certain amount of nostalgia there. I have always owned it in one format or the other. Currently I just have an original early press and a pretty recent vinyl reissue.
Some of the songs you will already be familiar with (Life on Mars, Changes, Oh! You Pretty Things), but it is so much more than that.
I think I gave my CD copy to Macca a couple of years ago, otherwise you could have had that.
DEFINITELY APPROVE !!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:Quote:

My favourite Hawkwind album, although I like them all being a bit a of a Hawkfan having seen them 6 times over the past 50 years. Now where's my Bong and I'll set the controls for the next galaxy.:guitar: :eek:

:)Yeah, early Hawkwind was great. But I didn't buy their records as my mate was a massive fan, and if I wasn't at his house listening to them he was at mine and always brought them with him. I did however have Hall of the Mountain Grill, which I recently bought again.Quote:

I saw them with Stacia, and I met her some years later, she gave me a big hug when I reminded here where we met.:eyebrows:Quote:
