Can't decide if I like this, Not like anything previous.
Excellent recording, the production is very 80s to my ears, lots of keyboard going on. According to Wikipedia, in a 2023 interview with Vulture (an American entertainment website apparently), he was so determined to be the support act For Talking Heads, he started writing more oblique pieces of music, embracing new studio techniques... seems he had a bit of a thing for David Byrne.
Reading between the lines it looks like he is not that keen on this album. Never mind, I've decided I do quite like it :) Even though the album art looks like it was designed by the bloke who invented shell suits.
One more from Bobby Plant. Like this one a lot.

Bernie Grundman... there's a name I keep seeing, including Zappa's "Waka/Jawaka" album I got a year or two ago. Which sounds great btw.Quote:

I don't know of that recording. I like David Byrne (and Talking Heads), so I might check that one out.Quote:

and there is this by Robert Plant:
Robert Plant and The Strange Sensation - 'Mighty Rearranger'
Quite different to what he did with Led Zepplin, but interesting nonetheless.
Santana - 'Abraxas'
I bought this LP on its release, obviously for the music, and not for the cover. But lately the cover artwork has more interest for me as, apart from her hair, the Madonna of the Annunciation looks very much like my partner.
The artist also did the cover for Miles Davis's 'Bitches Brew'.
Love the story, Barry :thumbsup:

After all these years I think I'm finally getting it.
I saw them perform live just before their debut album was released. They were OK, but no more than that. As such I have never followed their career.

A pretty brutal experimental Hip Hop Album, featuring sampled, errrr, Björk vocals on every track. Ace!
Nice one!Quote:

Another new discovery, collaboration between Fineas (big brother and producer to Billie Eilish as well as accomplished solo artist, and Ashe, who has a lovely voice.). Hard to pin down the style but I really like it - reviews suggest a 70’s pop/folk-rock, it does have that vibe, a sort of less rocky Rumours feel. Nicely produced, too.
I bought a Billie Eilish album recently, so am aware of Fineas - he did an excellent job there, and so I'm sure this'll be a good 'un. And Ashe there, looking like a Woodstock throwback will probably be my kind of thing too :)Quote:

Just noticed I have two copies of this. If you'd asked me if I'd ever bought a second copy of something without realising I already had it I'd have said 'No' with some certainty, but clearly it did happen.
From this morning's car boot sale.

Another good one there. :)
Just getting in the mood before I try her new album again, which came out on Friday, “In Times of Dragons”.
Frighteningly, Little Earthquakes is 34 years old now, one of the first CDs I bought. Still a fabulous album.
