I'm getting down with the kidz with this one, at least according to this article:

Awesome album. Even back in the 80’s I used to get the piss taken for playing “old man’s music” - seems I was 40 years ahead of the curve! :lol:Quote:

Me too. Back in the 1980s one of my younger brothers said to me 'Don't know how you can listen to this stuff.' He was into The Icicle Works' and all that indie stuff of the time.Quote:

25 years later I went to his wedding, what tune did they have for their 'first dance'? - 'Romeo & Juliet.'
Next up: Jethro Tull do Dire Straits:

Second album picks up where 2023’s debut (Come Around And Love Me) left off as far as I can tell on first listen of today’s release. Motown inspired sounds in the vein of Marvin Gaye and Smokey Robinson to paraphrase Google AI. I enjoyed his first album, he’s undoubtedly talented, I just feel there’s something that for me doesn’t quite make him epic.
That's a name I haven't heard of before, so it's on the list.Quote:

The album's six tracks range in length from eight to fifteen minutes but seem shorter and were recorded live in the studio, without any preparation; there was little editing afterwards. The winning results demonstrate that the musicians in this trio . . . Arooj Aftab on vocals (singing in Urdu), Vijay Iyer on piano and electronics and Shahzad Ismaily on bass and Moog synthesiser are strongly connected.

Quite like the single, some of his previous stuff on Youtube as well. Like the intervening 5 decades never happened, but in a good way.Quote:

I don’t believe in coincidences, but when I decided to play this, remembering that Captain are the kings of introductions on this album, I had no idea or recollection that this is produced by - yep, Trevor Horn!

Another one not spun recently or often enough! Loved this when it came out then faded into the forgotten about category!

I must admit that I gave up on his solo work before that one, so have never heard it. I will obviously now rectify that.Quote:

More Antipodean beatiness. New word I just invented, pleased with myself.
It is quite an extraordinary collection - I just went looking to buy it, out of print but they go for around 200+ on eBay.Quote:
