grungy-gonads 54 Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Listening to a few "chilled" comps at the moment. Deleting the rubbish ones as I go along. Really enjoying it. Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 James are/were an awesome live band - and trying to sing to Laid during the chorus always provided a few laffs. And Tim's dancing. Well... Link to post Share on other sites
veronica 2 Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Quite like the new Chemical Brothers cd. Link to post Share on other sites
veronica 2 Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 New, and last, single from a-ha. I will miss them, they made some really great pop music. Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Didn't go but Muse seemed to have a good gig at Glastonbury.. .special guest The Edge. Got to love the guitar part in this song a real classic. Link to post Share on other sites
js 0 Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 I don't know how to attach YouTube-type clips (luddite not), but I recently rediscovered an Aussie 1960's icon who still has an amazing voice - Russell Morris. (Sweet Sweet Love, Wings of an Eagle, Hush, The Real Thing, etc). Check out his vocal range on Sweet Sweet Love (2007 live version), and some great 12-string guitar work on Hush (2007 live version at the 3 minute mark) - then compare to the swingin' '60's versions when he was a skinny kid.

@tokyo 14 Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 The other thread mentioned Talk Talk so this morning I have had a few of their albums on. They sure changed style each record. I really like the first few with The Colour of Spring the best. Link to post Share on other sites
veronica 2 Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Here's another band that changed dramatically Link to post Share on other sites
veronica 2 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 I'm looking forward to getting Influence by the Art of Noise. A remastered compilation with a second disc of unreleased which is getting some good reviews. Link to post Share on other sites
veronica 2 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 And A Secret Wish by Propaganda, similar setup. Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 I might get that, the Art of Noise. Liked them, don't have any of their cds. Still like CDs myself, old fart I must be. Will get in England when I'm back. Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 I like CDs. I like the thing in my hand, the artwork, the tiny print on the pamphlet. If you don't have that, it's like you downloaded the song from a pirate. But you need to have space to store all the CDs. And it is such a joy when you open the dusty old box full of CDs and rummage through like going through old toys. I've still got some vinyl stored at my sister's place in England I think. That's assuming she no sell for cash. Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Me too. Still like buying them. Annoying when no effort is put into the sleeve etc, even though the music is what it's all about of course. Link to post Share on other sites
best skier in hakuba 5 Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Squeeze be back with "reimaginings" of their own songs on a new album next month. Here's one. Spot the ipad solo Link to post Share on other sites
Schneebored 0 Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Couldnt agree more with buying CDs over down-loading. I like to know produced the CD and if there were any guests whom I may know. Also I like reading the Thanks list. Real artists and bands will sometimes sit down for hours to work out the track order, the album will tell a story and tracks are selected to follow one another so they compliment the mood of the album. Alot of modern production is for the quick $$$$$ single and it makes me cry. I have been listening to 'The Temper Trap' a fair bit recently...off to see them live on Thursday so pretty excited, also stopped listening to the radio so I didnt get annoyed with them being over-played.

sanjo 2 Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Me too. Are itunes and other legit downloads now the same quality as CDs? Link to post Share on other sites
Schneebored 0 Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Originally Posted By: sanjo Me too. Are itunes and other legit downloads now the same quality as CDs? Short answer is no. But for most people the difference will not be audible. If you have some high-end audio equipment and played the same track from CD and download you might notice that the CD track has more depth 'warmth' to it. MP3 allows track file sizes to be reduced by removing layers of data which are not audible. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 yeah I don't care so much....download all the way for me. Although I understand what you're saying about the album being a "story", I rarely listen to a whole album in order. I just wanna listen to the songs I like, usually have my ipod dock on shuffle Link to post Share on other sites
