stevieKTID Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 (edited) I picked up a copy of the Pale Saints debut album The Comforts of Madness, on clear vinyl no less, I remember listening to it with my little indie girlfriend at the time, we played it non stop, I was curious if it still sounded as good as I remember, it sounds great and certainly doesn't sound like it's 30 years old. Out of curiosity i searched for that ex on Facebook.... She hasn't aged as well Edited July 2, 2020 by stevieKTID 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tongue_tied_danny Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 (edited) C'est Chic Now there's no denying that Nile Rogers is a musical genius. This is a classic slice of disco but there are a couple of dodgy tracks here, although that is redeemed by I Want Your Love. One of the best tunes of the 70s IMO.

Bought a box set with all Chic's 12" vinyl singles still sound really good . Nile Roger's produced the biggest selling albums from Madonna, Inxs, Dina Ross , David Bowie . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteRoseKillie Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 (edited) Got these two from eBay for a sniff over a fiver: Two slices of vinyl chock full of energy, imagination and passion. With stuff like Liar, Ogre Battle and Great King Rat, you wonder if they'd ever have made it as far as a third these days. I much prefer the first three albums (these plus Sheere heart Attack) to the later stuff - including Bohemian Rhapsody.

tongue_tied_danny Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Funkadelic - Maggot Brain One of my favourite albums but it's been a few years since I have it a spin. An intriguing mix of funk, hard rock and psychedilia. That ten minute guitar solo on the title track 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That ten minute guitar solo on the title track I saw George Clinton/Parliament/P funk all stars in Amsterdam in 2004, they played for 4 hours, it was amazing a great night out, couldn't get a taxi to take me home as i was living in the south east of the city which was considered a bit dodgy so walked it, the funk got me home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimi Shandrix Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Listening again to "Alone & Unreal" by The Clientele. Brilliant compilation of some of the best tunes. Anyone who ever got anything out of The Byrds, Sarah Records or even early Belle & Sebastian would find much to enjoy here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheep62 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Only just started reading through this thread just now. Some superb albums in here folks, a few of which I'll be listening to over the next few days. Can't believe that no one has picked the debut album from Aztec Camera "High Land, Hard Rain" Some great tracks on there written by a then 18 year old Roddy Frame 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hauftimedraw Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Excellent choice. Listen to this album every few months and makes me think I am 16 again.Was hyped as "the sound of young Scotland". Stands the test of time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was hyped as "the sound of young Scotland". Stands the test of time. As were Orange Juice. I had their first lp on vinyl, sadly now gone and costly to replace. I wonder if I'd I'd still love it as much as I think it had quite a few 80s production motifs on it, unlike the Postcard singles. Which I still have, but dont own a record player to listen to them on. A lot of 80s stuff is hard for me to listen to now, but my kids love for some reason. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheep62 Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Delved into the old vinyl collection this afternoon again and had my listen to this one in many a year. Certainly won't be long before it's getting another spin It certainly wasn't universally popular upon it's release, given their change of direction but it has matured well with age The Waterboys - Fisherman's Blues 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paranoid android Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Been re-visiting Lexicon of Love by ABC - very 80s, but some of the tracks on that album are brilliant. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After "Loveless" it's probably my favourite record from the shoegaze years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tongue_tied_danny Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 The Ruts - The Crack Probably my favourite punk album. Definitely a cut above most other punk bands, The Ruts are decent musicians and they manage to sound streetwise and aggressive. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteRoseKillie Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Just got this off t'eBay to add to my 10cc albums. I remember Under your Thumb and wedding Bells, which are both pretty good, but the rest of it does kind of backup the theory tht these two were just a little bit up themselves. Clever stuff in places, but not a great listen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tongue_tied_danny Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Venus and the Razorblades- Songs from the Sunshine Jungle I picked this up from the bargain shelf in Grouchos for about a quid 20 odd years ago. It's been a long time since I played it and TBH I forgot it even existed until I was browsing my CD collection earlier. This is an early punk band from LA with a female singer who 14 years old at the time. It's not bad. Some of the songs sound closer to glam rock than punk and the whole album is fairly tongue in cheek. A bit of a curiosity more than anything else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tongue_tied_danny Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Throwing Muses - The Real Ramona A classic slice of early 90s American alternative rock. There's a couple of beautiful tracks on here and Kirsten Hersh always sings it like she means it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
