Re: The album running-commentary and general listening discussion thread. Part 2!

It's just fading out. I thought it was going to have a great big, banging and sudden end!

[Guest]

Fade out? How plebian.

[Guest]

Well that was Real Now.

I liked the funky bit of Siberian Khatru best.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

And now it has gone.

I thought that was an LP totally devoid of taste, judgement, self-control, self-awareness, meaning or recognition that members of the public were going to actually have to listen to it when it was released.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everyone else made of it.

[Nightjar]

Right at the end the band open up and a high quality bit of jamming ensues...

The fans get to their feet and begin nodding their heads...

Suddenly the crowd erupts into a fervour of thrashing, lanky-haired head-banging...

Hippie gals start to think that it wasn't such a bad idea to be persuaded by this bloke to come to this gig....

Someone pulls the plug and says flatly over the tannoy system "the show's over folks, make your way to the exits..."

[Nightjar]

I give that LP 3/10.

And that's generous.

One whole point because it was relatively short.

You should hear some of their more self indulgent ones

[Nightjar]

This is very reminiscent of the seminal hip-hop LP Tougher Than Leather.

Suddenly sounds like Walk This Way.

[Nightjar]

I feel quite deflated.

Is this the real Yes or is it that phase when it was basically The Buggles pretending to be Yes?

They did a good job, or bad, dependent on your politics I suppose.

[Nightjar]

Karma points all round for enduring that load of bobbins I think.

[Fangirl Three]

I liked the inside picture on the sleeve.

[Guest]

Click the above for the sounds!

I have it bookmarked, ready for some time this evening.

[Guest]

Found my copy! it was hiding under Back to the Egg by Wings

[Nightjar]

What time?

8pm?

It's going to be an odd one for me, because I've listened to it quite literally squillions of times.

[Guest]
