It was a very good concert to say the least.Quote:

The album has many familiar Supertramp traits but there is certainly a more bluesy and more synth element to the sound.
I have all the albums prior to this on either vinyl or cd or both ! However, for some reason I have never got around to buying this untill now. Which in part is due to the good fortune of winning a £100 Amazon voucher for filling in one of those online surveys that you normally bin straight away when you see thr email !
Track Listing:
1 Cannonball
2 Still In Love
3 No Inbetween
4 Better Days - Supertramp, David Kershenbaum, Norman Hall, Allan Sides, Steve Crimmel, Gary Chang, An
5 Brother Where You Bound
6 Ever Open Door

Next up and also courtesy of the Amazon voucher is their 1987 release and the last to feature all new music.
The album was a turn of direction of sorts, with most of the songs stepping back from their progressive rock sound, employing synthesised dance beats and rhythms. Chief songwriter Rick Davies later recalled, "Free as a Bird*was an experiment to try and be modern and build it up with computers and drum machines and have people come in one by one, which makes you lose the band spirit a little bit."
Which sums everything up quite nicely. Don't get me wrong this is not a bad album just a different sound than you have known from Supertramp but not as big a departure from what you know as Rush took with Grace Under Pressure !
Track Listing:
1 It's Alright
2 Not The Moment
3 It Doesn't Matter
4 Where I Stand
5 Free As a Bird
6 I'm Beggin' You
7 You Never Can Tell With Friends
8 Thing For You
9 An Awful Thing To Waste

Agree Supertramp have a distinctive sound, and the album you cite sounds interesting if, as you say, it is a bit more 'bluesy'.Quote:

Hi Barry, we are on the same page although I'm okay with Even In The Quitest Moments and Famous Last Words too. However, there's no doubt that their sound is distinctive and I'm also a fan of Roger Hodgson's album In The Eye Of The Storm which was not loved by the critics!Quote:

Mrs. Pony has left the house to get her nails done. So time for some of that bass-monster that is "Touch" by Yello. Turns my sofa into a massage chair :)

One of the rooms at Cranage was playing "The Rhythm Divine" with Shirley Bassey doing vocals. Reminded me I haven't played this in a very long time.

Way Out West - We Love Machine (2009)
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...76027aef87.jpg
Love this album, the title track especially. Very varied electronica. Steve (Pigmy Pony) if you’ve not got any Way Out West I think you would like them.

Sex Pistols - Filthy Lucre Live. Great live set by the Pistols on one of their early reformation performances at Finsbury Park in the 90's. I bought this when it came out and thought it was about time I gave it a spin as I haven't played it for a while.
Cheers Alex, yes I think I would :) I was aware of them for remixes they did for others, though Dubstar's "Not so Manic Now" is the only one that springs to mind (this was the 90s and my memory is a bit hazy ;))Quote:

Global underground releases are relatively pricey as used CDs go, no 2 quid jobbies there. Probably becoming collectable.
Anyway, I've just ordered We Love Machine off Music Magpie, and with a lot of luck it'll arrived before I go away on Monday. But more likely it'll be waiting for me when we get back :)
Thought I'd give this a spin, one of my Global Underground CDs. Not played this in donkey's.

Badass electronica! I saw them when they were touring this album, must have been about '95. That was an assault on the ears, I don't think they've recovered yet! Shame about Keith.Quote:

Label: Creation Records – crecd 149
Format: CD, Album
Country: UK
Released: August 31, 1993
Genre: Rock
Style: Indie Rock, Shoegaze*
*I had to look that up - yes it's a genuine musical style descriptor:
Shoegaze (originally called shoegazing and sometimes conflated with "dream pop") is a subgenre of indie and alternative rock characterized by its ethereal mixture of obscured vocals, guitar distortion and effects, feedback, and overwhelming volume. It emerged in Ireland and the United Kingdom in the late 1980s among neo-psychedelic groups who usually stood motionless during live performances in a detached, non-confrontational state.
The name comes from the heavy use of effects pedals, as the performers were often looking down at their pedals during concerts.
Just found the vinyl version which I forgot I hadQuote:

How many LPs do you have? I have thought about doing the Discogs thing but I'm way too lazy. I doubt I will ever sell any of them, anyway, so the value is moot.Quote:

I'm still looking - perhaps you could recommend something?
Yes, good stuff, pulled it out for a play as my Son just saw them play live at the Isle Of Wight Festival, he said it was fantastic, even sans Keith.Quote:
