The New Pornographers 'Twin Cinema'
Label: Matador OLE 621-2
Format: CD, Album
Country: US
Released: Aug 23, 2005
Genre: Rock
Style: Indie Rock
Bought because the group is new to me, and I was attracted by the cover. Still coming to terms with their style, it has just enough interest for me to keep it.

Alfie Boe 'Storyteller'
Label: Decca 3710614
Format: CD, Album
Country: Europe
Released: 2012
Genre: Pop
Style: Ballad, Vocal
Not really my cup of tea.Turns out this is a CD of pop, rock and folk standards sung by a classical tenor. No doubt Boe has a very good voice - the trouble is it's too good for the songs. The climax to 'Bridge Over Troubled Water' sounds like the man out of the Go Compare advert!
My partner likes it, so I'll keep it.

Its pretty good IMO, I also have it on an early CD and that sounds a little top endy. I would like hear it on a early press but too pricey.Originally Posted by Pigmy Pony
