Spinning Today - What Are You Listening To Right Now? (Part 4)

[Barry]

That reminds me of the time I saw The Incredible String Band, playing live in Leeds, way back in the late '60s. So I thought I would play their debut album:

The Incredible String Band – 'The 5000 Spirits Or The Layers Of The Onion'

Label: Elektra – EUKS 7257
Format: Vinyl, LP, Album, Stereo
Country: UK
Released: August 1967

I used to have a few other ISB titles, such as Hard Rope and Silken Twine:

Label: Island Records – ILPS 9270
Format: Vinyl, LP, Album, Stereo
Country: UK
Released: March 1974
Genre: Rock

as well as others, but I can't find them so must have given them away.

Ms. Harvey does seem to have quite a following. I do have that last one you played, and it's a "deluxe edition"! (one extra track by the look of it), but I didn't care for it much. Maybe I should listen harder.

Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea is a brilliant album, I love the two Thom York collaborations, though strangely I could never really get into Radiohead (despite owning a few if not all of their albums.)

I haven't played any of her stuff for a long time. She's a bit of an angry lass, and I went through a period when I liked female singers with 'attitude'.

You might try listening to 'To Bring You My Love'.

I agree about the Radiohead albums - I really wanted to like them and I think I may have all of their albums. But they get very occasional play and I usually give up after a few tracks. I do like Ok Computer though, and Kid A a bit.

I did play the first few tracks of Pablo Honey after reading this thread - Creep sounds really well produced. I may try the rest of the album later.

Good one - I'm playing it now.

I have their first two albums. Of those I prefer 'OK Computer', but if I lost either I would not be distraught.

I now seem to be stuck playing 1990s female vocals, thanks Barry!
