Cheers Barry - her Luca song popped into my head this morning so thought, lets put the LP on - very nice it was too.Quote:

A really interesting Album, curated by Pete Kember (Sonic Boom), throwing light on tracks that influenced Spacemen 3.
I may have tried Sheep on Drugs when you posted before, but not a Scooby on the other two so will give them a search. [emoji4]
Meanwhile, long time since I played this:

Fabulous stuff.

Space Lines will surprise with it's diversity, but if you know Sonic Boom / Spacemen 3 it will start to make sense and is really enlightening. I wish more bands would do a similar thing.Quote:

That reminds me, I must get some Frontline Spot On for the cat - thanks for the heads up Mike :)Quote:

Can't Beat a bit of Beatles! :)
That and 'Rubber Soul' were IMO the first of The Beatles serious LPs, culminating in 'Sgt. Pepper', after which it all started to go downhill.
Always will love the Beatles - my fave is the White Album but hear what you are sayingQuote:

Original recording 1970.

White Album or Rubber Soul for me, closely followed by Sergeant Peppers.Quote:

Meanhwile, continuing to revisit my physical CD collection, and am finding that there are hundreds I have not got ripped to FLAC! Plenty I don't even remember/recognise, or remember buying or acquiring. Including this one.

'De-Constructing Ghosts' is an experimental re-mix album, released under the name of 'Galahad Electric Company' in 1999, whereby samples of guitar, keyboard, drum, bass and vocal tracks etc were taken from multi track recordings for 'Following Ghosts' and given to various other musicians and DJ's who then constructed their versions of tracks from 'Following Ghosts' or in some cases created brand new tracks using the samples that they were given, hence the name of the album.
released January 10, 2011
It's interesting, still no idea where it came from!
For various reasons, it’s been at least a week since I’ve been able to listen on the “big rig” - put this on, and good though my other kit is the Spendors are just so much more!
Adam F - Colours (1997)

Another album I had completely forgotten about, though at least I still remember this one! It’s a great Drum and Bass album, played it a lot back in the day when I had a DnB phase. That was before Wikipedia - I was today years old when I learned that Adam Fenton is the son of Alvin Stardust, the nephew of Rory Storm and married to Kirsty Hawkshaw! Every day’s a school day!

Another excellent record there Alex. Half of the posts here mention acts and performers I have never heard of, let alone heard. So it is nice to see you enjoying a record that is also in my collection. :)Quote:

Most of the time I use my smartphone when I'm on the Forum. Clearly the acoustics are somewhat limited and it is not the best way to listen to any new music: it is probably the reason why some of my comments have been less than favourable and dismissive. In future I will have to connect my laptop to my audio system via a USB to my DAC, and listen to music on-line properly. :)
To be honest, I think if you don't "get" the music from listening via a smartphone, playing it at higher quality is unlikely to make you change your mind, in my opinion. I do try a lot of what has been posted and I fairly quickly know if it is something that will float my boat or not, a few might be undecided, and in that case I guess a proper play through a decent sounding option might help.Quote:

Sneaker Pimps 'Splinter'
The band followed success on both sides of the Atlantic and a Gold-selling debut album by jettisoning their female singer and getting one of the blokes in the background to step up and front them. Ironic album cover and career suicide ensued. A great pity since I rate Splinter as a lost treasure if you like end of the millennium trip-hoppish indie.
"Becoming X" is a great album, but I never followed them past that. Just as well by the looks of it. I think it'd be better to follow Kelli Ali's career than Sneaker Pimps'.Quote:
