Yes, I have the original release on CD, but I think not many around, and several years later she re-released it herself. Also saw her live several times, amazing artist and always witty with her chat with the crowds.Quote:

And guess what, Steve (Pigmy Pony)- Caroline Lavelle is on it and I didn't even realise! (If you don't know Sleepthief, well worth searching his music out.)
Last one of the night, another favourite not heard in a while.

I'm sure like most of us on here, I don't pay much attention to the "Top 40" charts these days, but I spotted in a news feed that Lola Young has got to number one with "Messy" - 43 weeks after it was first released. Apparently, she covered "Together in Electric Dreams" for the John Lewis Christmas advert, which I haven't seen. Anyway, so giving it a spin via Tidal. It's pretty good so far, actually.
As long as she can get through the album without resorting to autotune that'll make a nice change from the usual chart cack.Quote:

Not only that, instead of getting the CD it was a deluxe edition double album on vinyl, and must have cost a fortune :doh: So now I have to pretend it's grown on me and quite good after all.
I think I'll ask for socks next year.

Some fantastic extra content on this edition.
Unless on vinyl, I don't actually have any of her albums, but sad to hear of her death.Quote:

Another one I have not played in a long time. The whole album is fabulous.
Agreed, as are most of her albums.Quote:

I like the ones, like this, which are more traditional folk sounding, not so much the more electric and pop influenced stuff.Quote:

If that’s your bag,
here’s a bigger scale Concert on YouTube, this is more typical of her style.

Cinematic, ambient & atmospheric.
Love her vocals, just floats over the music.
Me too :(Quote:

Another one I've not played in years, decades probably. Forgotten how good they were.
I bought my Kawasaki ZX6-R brand new in 1998, when this came out. I named the bike "Cerys" after the lead singer because she looked gorgeous from certain angles and had a nice rasp to her voice...
Nice bike.Quote:

So I ended up going down a rabbit hole last night - I was looking for a CD single on my server, and couldn't find it. Then it dawned on me that although I ripped all my CD albums to HDD around 15 years ago, that I didn't bother with the singles. I don't have that many (c. 200 I would guess) but suffice to say I am now going through and ripping them all, playing a few along the way. I have some where I have 2 or 3 of the same single, as there were different versions with different extra tracks - a good way to get you to buy more than one copy to help with the charts!
Anyway, that's why I ended up playing the Catatonia album as I have 3 of their singles. And why I am now playing this:
Mansun - Attack of the Grey Lantern (1997)

Which leads nicely on to another Dean Honer band:

Apparently "all the rage" again after something on TikTok? Who knows, probably my daughter!
Tune!
Wide Open Space was another banger.
