Re: The album running-commentary and general listening discussion thread. Part 4!

[Nightjar]

I've looked into it on a number of occasions.

It's a proper mess of a discography.

Not as bad as trying to find a Current 93 album to do, but still pretty bad.


Actually, did we do Scatology?

Or Horse Rotorvator?

One of those Fairlight overkill albums from their early days.

[Nightjar]

They're all really fishing long as well.

[Nightjar]

Scatology is 55 minutes long.

Horse Rotorvator is an expression of relative brevity at 48 minutes.

We haven't done a Doors album have we?


Or maybe we did, a long long time ago…

[Nightjar]

Perhaps we did, early doors?

[Nightjar]

Some of this new stuff looks absolutely wretched.

I'm so proud of you all.

Considering the release date, this was a brilliant step forward in electronic music. Combining big, hard breakbeats with an absolutely eerie sample of an old vocal quartet (Mills Brothers?). If you like any of Jack Dangers / Meat Beat Manifesto, this is one you can not pass up. Start with that Psychic TV / Throbbing gristle acid-born prescience and uneasiness, throw in driving MBM-style breakbeats and Spooky-like synth textures. Top off with one of the most haunting vocal samples ever to grace an electronica album. These are long dead ghosts from the past, voices heard in the howling wind, saying 'All too soon, life had passed. Carpe diem, foolish mortal."

It sounds like The Pet Shop Boys.

I was going to launch a thread for S Club 7's Sunshine album but it's over 53 minutes long.

[Butterfield]

To be honest, I think I'd rather listen to that than S Club 7.

[SiberianPrincess’sMidriff]

It's just occurred to me, we haven't done an album by the biggest pop star of the day…

T. Swizzle.







Or have we?

[The Call of the Wendigo]

We ought to do a Five Star album and make all the voting options 5 stars.

Cheryl Baker?

[Nightjar]

[SiberianPrincess’sMidriff]

Needed the Beetles as well.

[SiberianPrincess’sMidriff]

Have we done an Amanda Lear album?

[The Call of the Wendigo]

Not that I know of.

[SiberianPrincess’sMidriff]

We have now!


I've been so desperate to think of suitable EPs, I've seriously thinking of a Boo 'Blooming' Radleys EP. That's how bad it's got.

[Nightjar]

Corinne Bailey Rae's got a new album out.

Just sayin'.
