commentsThis arrived on sparkly new orange vinyl today. This 2020 remastered version is all the more remarkable in what it reveals in instrumentation.
commentsThis FANTASTIC remastered 2014 compilation on 3 great slabs of vinyl just sounds well…. FANTASTIC! These 11 tracks, all released as 12” remixes, were clearly made for the dance floors of the late 70’s, early 80’s, but really blur the links between Disco, Classical, Jazz and Dub.
commentsWhile the music can definitely stand-alone on this DVD, the film that accompanies the music on each track beautifully reinforces the historical components that the “found” sounds reference throughout.
commentsI’m half way through Viv Albertine’s very candid 2014 book “Clothes, Clothes, Clothes. Music, Music, Music. Boys, Boys, Boys” She was brought into The Slits as the guitar player who had never actually played guitar.
commentsThere’s absolutely no in-between with Ms. Newsom. You either love her or loathe her. Personally, I’m firmly in the love her unconditionally camp.
commentsAnother awesome Aussie album. This gets an AAAA+ in anyone’s book. Earlier this month I did a bit of a rave about The Stroppies “Whoosh!
commentsAllmusic.com, and their “know it all, yes we do have the final say on the matter” approach to music reviews is wearing thin.
commentsThe Smiths and New Order. Two of the most influential bands of the 80’s. This masterpiece is the bastard offspring of Bernard Sumner and Jonny Marr, two key members of those respective stalwarts of British post punk.
commentsOK it’s not a “proper” live album - it’s got studio recordings interspersed with the live stuff - but as a 17 year old totally immersed in guitar hero worship, this thing still stings the synapses.
