I completely agree. I'll happily pitch in for some kind of subscription fee, and also contribute to anything that helps reimburse runcible and Modlab. Huge thanks to you both for your generosity in keeping this place alive during some very tough times, both here and the real world. It's ridiculous h...

D'oh! Shows how much attention I've paid to this year's music... :lol: It is a very good album though, some of their strongest songs in many a year. For me, Nobody's Empire and Enter Sylvia Plath are all-time top 10 B&S songs without a doubt. Regarding their new material, I was passing through ...

On a similar topic to introducing little ones to AC/DC, I saw this earlier in the year and loved every minute. "Kids React To Iron Maiden"

My niece is nearly twelve and well into Taylor Swift and the wee Sheeran fandan amongst others. Fair play to her, she can like what she wants, but I've started getting her the odd album as pressies. Last Xmas I gave her Chvrches - The Bones Of What You Believe , which went down well. My niece idolis...

Nothing so far save for Iron Maiden in August 2018. Will be up early tomorrow to book King Crimson tickets for November 2018. I'm all about planning in advance

I've been meaning to reply to this thread for ages, but life has comprehensively gotten in the way. Anyhow... My thoughts on GY!BE perhaps don't chime with their general fanbase, but might chime with folks here: I love every period of the band, don't get me wrong, but to me the post-reunion material...

To break in the new hi-fi, I've been treating myself to tons of new vinyl this last week (again courtesy of the DWP). I've concentrated on getting some of my all-time favourite albums so far, alongside a few that are genuinely new to me. All are brand-new/reissue pressings unless otherwise noted... ...

Here's a shot of the new pride and joy. Currently putting it through its paces with the 25th Anniversary Remaster of R.E.M's "Automatic For The People", which is sounding utterly gorgeous (despite the big box, it's not actually a vinyl edition but a 3xCD + 1xBlu Ray - the remastered album,...

Thanks for the kind words spzretent, niamhm and Aquarian-Time. It's been a difficult year all told, given how ill my wife had become, but when the end drew near she managed to get a place in the local hospice, where the staff took amazing care of her. That was a relief for us all, and they worked mi...

So it's been an awful couple of months at mc towers; my wonderful, beloved wife passed away after suffering bowel cancer for more than four years, and getting used to life after thirteen years together and spending two years looking after her full-time is proving a slow and often gloomy process. I'm...

Far, far, far too much bought these last few months, including quite a few eye-wateringly pricey box sets :oops: Bell Witch - Mirror Reaper Burial - Rodent The Caretaker - Everywhere At The End Of Time Part III Frank Zappa - Live At The NYC Palladium 1977-10-28 (Show 1) Frank Zappa - Live At The NYC...

Another contextual snippet I found elsewhere: the short cassette track "Someone Help This Guy", which features nothing but a redlined recording of TY screaming and groaning, is actually in the final studio version of Paranoid Android! After the final "God loves his children" and ...

Did anybody else get this in the end? I must confess, I bought the standard reissue w/ the the 3 unreleased tracks and the B-sides, but I couldn't afford/justify splurging £100 for the full ultra-deluxe box-set. That said, I was still dying to hear the demo cassette, so I was a bad human being, goog...

The plot thickens further! Was just listening to Alphastone's "Elasticated Waveband" on youtube, and four tracks in, the Brown Rice theme starts playing! It's faster tempo-wise, has a more rubber malleted marimba/vibraphone sound and the fifth note of the theme is pitched higher compared t...

I'm embarrassed to ask (as I normally have an unhealthily long and geekish memory for such trivia) but what are the differences in tracklisting, between the original(s) and Space Age CD versions of Recurring [/b]?

It's a tricky situation. If Palmer's already got his cash I realise boycotting these releases hurts the record stores instead of him, but I support the boycott nevertheless.

Thanks for posting this, it's beautiful! I already have and enjoy Don Cherry's "Organic Music Society" and love his work on Lou Reed's "The Bells", so I've just bought the "Brown Rice" album as well. It's going down very well so far... This also made me do a search for ...

Right, here's my first themed compilation (two 80 minute "discs") for anyone who fancies a listen. It's a trawl through some of my favourite 'intense' (e.g. musically, lyrically, emotionally etc) tracks from my music collection, so I've called it "Stormy". I've tried to avoid stu...

No worries niamhm, glad you're enjoying it! Nothing can improve on the original, but as you say, it's a sweet listen in its own special way

You're very welcome, FM! These versions contain some of my all-time favourite Spiritualized moments, like: > The alternative bridge of If I Were With Her Now - that minute of chiming, interlocking celestial guitars is purest aural heaven, and to me, the single greatest piece of "lost" Spir...

Ha! I have 21 of those, and "The Holy Bible" is certainly the bleakest, darkest, most painfully harrowing of the bunch. I must like it dark ;) LICD is a surprising no.2, I must admit. I find it quite cheerful and redemptive in places :) To me, LAGWAFIS is a far more obviously depressing wo...

So, Sunn O)))... Starting with the live experience, I've only seen them once - 2009, playing with Bong (marvellous too!) as support at Stereo in Glasgow.

LGM is without a doubt my favourite album of all time.
