Good to see there's another Husker Du fan on the forum!

Rocket from the Tombs-Rocket Redux

The original lineup substituting Richard Lloyd for Peter Laughner. A punk blast from the past.

Delivered today:
Foo Foo and the Boy - H2C - I can send Cymbiosis' copy back to them now!
Dimitri from Paris - In the house. This is upfront house/disco with all sorts on it. Recording's a bit fierce but still groovy...
Voodoo Child (Moby) Baby Monkey. Very Moby if you like that sort of thing.

Alex,

Way to go on the ACR front - late 70's skeletal funk blossoming into fully fledged foot tappers. Those dissonant horns are still a joy to hear.

DS

OTD - Slint = Spiderland

It's been a while since I listened to any ACR. I used to have plenty of it when I was younger and had a Thorens TD160, but it all went west in The Great Vinyl Robbery and I never replaced it for some reason.

Soul Jazz Records have done the decent thing and re-issued several (maybe all) of the ACR back catalog, including some extra tracks.

Well worth a few quid of anyone's hard-earned, if you ask me.

Alex,

I have the Graveyard & the Ballroom 'Cassette in the purse' on the first time round, then on CD in the 90's and finally on vinyl in 2004!

I have stuck with ACR all through, even in their 'noodly jazz funk' plain vanilla dance music phase when they were on Rob's Records.

Bring back Simon Topping i say.

DS

OTD - Air Liquide - Liquid Air

The addition of Abracadubra and Sommadub to 'To Each....' was a nice move.

Sommadub is especially splendid.

Original released as by 'Sir Horatio'

geddit?

After emailing the label about my previous copy's playback issues, yesterday I received a working copy of:

Danger Mouse & Jemini- Ghetto Pop Life

They also included a promo "Hold Dat" CD single.

Busy hoovering up back catalogues at the moment...

Porcupine Tree - Warsawa
Porcupine Tree - Recordings
Porcupine Tree - Stars Die

Peter Hammill/Roger Eno - The Appointed Hour

YLT are so great and my vocabulary is so limited that I can't say enough nice things about them. That album and "And then nothing turned itself inside-out" are both phenomenal and two of my favorite albums of all time. "Painful" is a notch lower in excellence IMO. I never bought "Summer Sun" as hardcore fans seemed to brush it aside but now you have me considering it...

[EDIT following lunch: I forgot that you're a completist. Early on they were a bit messy and not so dreamy. I don't recommend venturing any earlier than "Electro-pura", and if you get the soundtrack they did (I forget the title) let us know if it's good.]

Ludwig,

Your glowing review made me curious to read about YLT elseware and they seem just the job for me. Do you have "And then nothing turned itself inside-out" & "I can hear the heart beating as one" on Vinyl. If so, are they high on your gushometer?

A bit disappointed to read that "We're An American Band" isn't the old Grand Funk Railroad song

Denis

The Blue Nile A Walk Across the Rooftops.Via HMV sale. A bit unsure so far (track 2).
On second play now its getting better.

Blue Nile "A Walk Across the Rooftops" is a classic album if you like your music sad and depressing.

I played 'Hats' - their 2nd album recently, I was feeling quite cheerful before I started...

I have them on CD (no TT here) and musically they'd be high on the gushometer if played on 8-track through a megaphone. "I Can Hear The Heart Beating As One" is near perfect, if that's possible.
