Jimi Shandrix Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Thoroughly enjoying the latest Eno album. This track sounds like something off "Music For Films" if it was covered by My Bloody Valentine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a touch of John Lennon vocals, a dose of Gene Clark instruments and a handful of Buddy Holly hooks, and you’ve got some toe-tappingly charming fluff, with nary an original note anywhere to be found. It comes in at well over an hour, though. Enough of that, Cut Worms. I've heard some of their stuff before. Genuinely thought it was Lennon singing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His live stuff isn't quite as obvious, but the nods are pretty blatant. There are more than enough hooks for me to excuse the unoriginality. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-MAN Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Downloaded the Nation Of Language album off the back of your review as they sounded right up my street. Not disappointed, absolutely cracking album FYI - new song from Nation of Language out later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tongue_tied_danny Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 I'm not sure if this counts as an "Album of 2020" as it's mainly a compilation of old tracks, but I'm currently listening to Fatboy Slim's Back to Mine. it's a decent mix of old soul, hip hop and other genres. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 New Lambchop album doesn't have any vocoder. I can't tell you how happy that makes me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 The one and likely only new album for me this year has been The Doves - The Universal Want in September. It didn't disappoint in the slightest: a return to a Lost Souls feel for the album as a whole, without any decline in quality after a decade away from performing. They were superb at SWG3 last summer and should be even better in the Barrowlands in 2021. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tongue_tied_danny Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 I'm listening to Róisín Machine by Róisín Murphy right now. It has a strong house/dance influence and the individual tracks are alright but it's not exactly breaking new ground. I will have forgotten all about it with an hour or so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit - Standout tracks on the album are the above mentioned Broken Eyes, Cycle of Hurt and The Universal Want imo.

I will have forgotten all about it with an hour or so.I’d always known about Roisin Murphy but never paid much attention until I saw her give maybe one of the best live performances I’ve ever seen at Homobloc last year. Opened with Simulation and (I think) Narcissus and it was another planet (or I was already on another planet).Anyway, came in to post that I listened to the new Oneohtrix Point Never album and I don’t know what he’s doing but fair play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed it's a belter, with the first track, carousels, being one of my favourites 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought the first half was good then got bit bored after that. Reminded me too much of Moloko who I never liked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I noticed that Rough Trade and also 6 Music album of the year is SAULT (Untitled (Black Is)). Don't know much about them but will give the 4 Albums they have released in the last 18 months a listen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
