The mini album is quite superb, very warm, hazy psych. Great on headphones This is being released on Sonic Cathedral in April on Vinyl, and I just so happen to be hosting this fine chap at The Salty Dog in Northwich on Saturday April 28th. Whats even better is the gig is FREE. If anyone wants to tra...

I confess to having lost a bit of my musical listening mojo recently, in a very strange personal space at the minute, hopefully all will resolve itself swiftly and I will throwing my hat in the ring here with my fave stuff from 2017...stay tuned

Aquarian-Time

CF is playing correct. I was offered them on the Saturday of the Drone Rock records night but couldn't afford it really as Saturdays are busy anyway in the venue and the gigs on Saturday are as a rule free entry.
Not sure what other dates they have as yet, will keep my eyes peeled though

Aquarian-Time

I also hope to make this, will know nearer the time but signs are promising. They are also stopping by our humble little 70 capacity venue in Northwich, Cheshire 2 days later. Support coming from Stupid Cosmanaut plus Dots and Loops will be DJing. Tickets will be up on we got tickets later today. Ad...

Aquarian-Time

Didn't spot this thread....well I couldn't resist and bought a ticket on the day of the announcement.
Apparently they asked the Heads and they said no !
Line up is interesting and decent, could be a great weekend

Aquarian-Time

As Olan mentioned, also at the Liverpool Ride show. We were three from the front and it was pretty loud, but I know what Olan means as I have watched gigs about halfway back in that venue and it's no where near loud enough. Personally I love the album and the gig, definitely my current face band at ...

Aquarian-Time

So sorry to hear of your news mc. Wishing you positive vibes from the NW of England. Sounds a terrible ordeal for you, hopefully music will assist the healing process. Regarding your set up, Olan is the man for advice, that said take some pics when it's done and post em on here, be good to see how i...

Aquarian-Time

Woooooah they played Grasshopper in the encore last night !!!

Aquarian-Time

Lover the album still , but do agree that the production is a bit 'nice', lacks edge and raw power, which is a shame as the band have that in abundance on stage. New song is a bit dull, but hey they are enjoying and have a new lease of life it would seem. Looking forward to Liverpool, me and Gaz wil...

Aquarian-Time

Loads since my last post on here

Recently
New albums by the Horrors, White Manna, Proper Ornaments, Sundays& Cybele, Fatan Kenan, Mogwai (box set), Oh sees, Jack cooper, Domboshawa and Iron and Wine

Reissues from Popul Vuh (2 of em),The Verve (urban hymns), Mazzy Star (albums 2 and 3)

Aquarian-Time

Didn't see APTBS so cannot comment. Agree with Olan the line up was quite ordinary but its more of a social thing these days and great to catch up with some good people who I can happily called friends. Thanks always as ever to Olan for his hospitality. We are all of the opinion this festival may no...

Aquarian-Time

Thoroughly enjoyable Ryan Adams show at Manchester Apollo, sold out fairly handy as always. He has become a bit more 80's Rock, Springsteen esque over the last 2 tours, and I for one think it helps in these venues. Its more full on and the set lists have become a bit more static, but he really is a ...

Aquarian-Time

Jon, bring a copy to Psych Fest if you get time mate, would love a copy.

I'm busy compiling my second comp. If anyone wants a copy of the first one PM me and I will send you a 2cd listening treat

Aquarian-Time

Was tempted with this Olan but with Pysch fest forthcoming, the new improved me has domestic duties to attend to

Aquarian-Time

Hopefully Ryley Walker in Chester end of the month, before that Kikaguko Moyo in Salford (tiny venue) Hopefully also Minami Deutch in Manchester (in fact will grab tickets today). Later in the year Ride, BRMC, Ryan Adams, Dinosaur Jr and Slowdive, which is a non too shabby line up Quality over quant...

Aquarian-Time

Got the Kraftwerk blu ray 3d box. Wow a visual feast with my (proper, not crappy gig giveaways) 3d specs on. The wee man and myself watched Autobahn album straight through last night and its a stunning audio visual treat. makes up for the side view and shit glasses at the gig (as good as the gig was...

Aquarian-Time

Real Estate @ The Ritz, Manchester This was pretty dull, I like the band, but the indie guitar picking, chilled vibe needs a really good sound and for once this venue didn't provide same. Lead singer's voice sounded very toured and the band seemed as though they were trying too hard to enjoy the nig...

Aquarian-Time

Bit late but I was at Ride @ Manchester Ritz. Without question in my top 5 gigs ever....it was that good. The sound (as usual in the ritz) was superb, perfect clarity, plus it was nice and loud. New songs were great (I love the album but live they really fly) It was an evening that just had everythi...

Aquarian-Time

Slowdive are playing 4 of a 9 (or is it 8) album set and Ride are playing 75% of the new album I think both albums are good, Ride in particular (other than the production which is a tad polished for my ears) has produced an album that is a) Not Tarantula b) not Carnival of Light c) definately Ride a...

Aquarian-Time

I really like it. Only one listen so far but it has a GBA feel to some of it and the Ride sound is definitely in evidence. Play Loud is my advice

Aquarian-Time

Thee Oh Sees (or Oh Sees as they are to now known) Manchester Academy Just a staggeringly good live outfit, compulsive viewing for 90 plus minutes (they never normally play that long) Venue sound is consistently good here (never used to be) and it was perfect to my ears, I was up close mind. The dou...

Aquarian-Time

Johnnyboy sounds awesome (my kind of beer as well)

My list of forthcoming events hasnt changed although I may be attending The Early Years/ Vanishing twin show at London Brewhouse early July, looks a good bill and the venue looks good also, so maybe worth a trip down

Aquarian-Time

I knew a fair bit of this after chatting to Tom last week (organiser for LPF), he confirmed Thee Oh Sees despite being super expensive, were booked but then they had a US tour booked so bailed out. He also confirmed he had tried to get Bardo Pond but they are a nightmare to tie down. Endless Boogie ...

Aquarian-Time

You are correct, the tour they played 7 or 8, it was 2 years after when they returned just to play a few shows (Albert hall Manchester), they played 2 or 3 (Let The Day begin and Rival being 2 of them)

Aquarian-Time

Follakzoid-Soup Kitchen(Manchester) last Thursday I think the consensus here is they have become a bit dull, 3rd time seeing them, easily the most bored I have been at a gig for a while. 3 songs, 1 hr and I was clock watching. Didnt' even stay for Beak who were late secret additions utilising the sh...

Aquarian-Time

Anyhow forthcoming I have
Besnard Lakes (Liverpool), Kraftwerk (Manchester), Thee Oh sees (Manchester), Mark Lanegan (Manchester), Real estate (Manchester), Ride (Manchester)

A quiet and more selective gig going calender this year so far

Aquarian-Time

Bit harsh on BRMC although appreciate not everyone's cup of tea. live they are fearsome and continue to excite me (and my mate Gaz whom I think has attended every tour since the the 1st album with me ) The last album i will concede was a little dull, I think they probably sussed this out and didn't ...

Aquarian-Time

Ah yes the 1000 albums to listen to target for 2017. I'm on 280 so far. It's tough but rewarding. Relentless listening.
Last ones were Neil Young Unplugged and Flying Saucer Attack-New lands

Aquarian-Time

New albums by
Mark Lanegan
Black Angels
Bardo Pond
Arbouretum
Raveonettes

re-issues by

Flying Saucer Attack and Neil Halstead

Aquarian-Time

I have picked up thew standard Black Angels rather than the RSD, just couldn't justify spending that extra for a glow in the dark type affair. Have Lanegan as well so both will get first outings tonight.
Bardo Pond also to follow these. A real heavyweight evening

Aquarian-Time

I have burned my to 2 cd's (was nearly 4, so some gentle editing was required) and they are in today's post to Laz69. They have avoided most things he a) probably owns and b) is too well known and gone for a quite a combination of soundtrack/psych/hazy sunshine/acid folk vibe. In short its all over ...

Aquarian-Time

Laz and my good self are in the midst of an exchange, I will tinker my track list accordingly and then post on here when he has received it.....wouldn't want to spoil his suprise

Aquarian-Time

Likewise, I'm good to go. Physical cd at my end waiting to go to a good home or homes

Aquarian-Time

They are playing LIverpool the night before Manchester as well. I have tickets for London but unsure if I will go as its now an all nighter type affair, and I'm not as resilient as I used to be...(5am

)

Aquarian-Time

Post away Laz, I haven't got any of them !

Aquarian-Time

Well I think this is a bloody good album all tings considered. Side A is absolutely fantastic. Setlist looks good from last nights show, so Saturday should be a blast

Aquarian-Time

Agreed, this needs a fresh look at for sure, I was only lurking I'm pretty sure when this cam about originally

Aquarian-Time

Tangerine Dream is an interesting one, I have Zeit (which is supposedly a must have) and another (cant recall which) and I found them fairly bland. It didn't seem to fit the Electro Krautrock type handle of the time (cluster/harmonia etc) it was more ambient and to my ears a bit dull. So much so I h...

Aquarian-Time

Prefer to burn mine, but if my oppo has no means of playing it I can digitise.....may have to trial and error that as not done before, but I'm sure its straighforward

Aquarian-Time

I didn't do this last time out but would be well up for it this time around. I assume its everyone in, make yourselves known and then you get randomly paired up with a fellow forumite to exchange compilations?
I'm in anyway

Aquarian-Time

Picked this up yesterday at an unamed record shop who shouldn't sell it until tomorrow !! Will give it a spin tonight in readiness for Saturdays gig

Aquarian-Time

New Six Organs of Admittance album. It's quite superb, more song based than previous efforts and a lovely folky/psych groove running through. Some nice melodic touches as well. A real return to form

Aquarian-Time

I'm all for doing the cd compilation swap type thing if we can resurrect that idea

Aquarian-Time

Yeah, to be honest I don't mix politics and music, so never looked in on that thread, so I perhaps was a bit hasty and misguided in my initial reaction to his banning, I'm blaming a crappy morning at home and work :D Anyhow, I think we have hit on some key points a) People are happy to contribute to...

Aquarian-Time

Thanks for that well written retort, I for one didn't realise quite the problems/issues etc said forum member had caused over the years, obviously if things get personal then a line needs to be drawn and quickly. This forum has brought together some fine people, via the world wide only or in person ...

Aquarian-Time

Totally agree with sunray, I don't agree with everything he says politically but hey ho, his views are still valid. Its a a forum, we discuss things, we are not robots.
Based on this banning, I will take my leave until you see fit to re-instate him to the board.

Aquarian-Time

Moon Duo @ Band On The Wall Really enjoyed this set, after the more jaunty albums of Mazes and Circles, the last 2 have been darker and more drone based and with the drummer in tow, it really is a great 1 hr 15 mins set, attacking the senses and the visuals are also impressive. set drawn from last 2...

Aquarian-Time

I'm still hooked, its bubbling under nicely, the Zombies are hardly an issue anymore, that suits me fine. Characters have developed, tensions still remain high. Really enjoying it

Xyzips 7" Polytechnic Youth (not cheap)
Rick Tomlinson new LP- I think I will file this under abstract, not much guitars in evidence
BJM-New double LP

Besnard Lakes new 12"
Six organs of Admittance New Lp
Hills Live at Roadburn LP

Aquarian-Time

Alas yes all vinyl. I have to get harsh with my collection now and again. Every so often I get rid of a good one and regret it but I kind of think I know where I am with my listening these days so usually make the right call.

Aquarian-Time

After the last 3 releases I sold the lot, as it did nigh on nothing for me. I do recall Hoftstadter getting quite frustrated by a fair of us being a little negative about the last album. And with that he was gone.... Early stuff I quite liked, but didn't love, so seemed a decent shout to shed the lo...

Aquarian-Time

We currently know of one lucky winner in the early bird. Compared to everyone who wanted one last year an years before all getting one. I think that tells its own story.

Aquarian-Time

i get it now

Aquarian-Time

My arse ???

Aquarian-Time

yep, pre ordered after that heads up so thanks very much

Big fan here, although he is a difficult artist I'm led to believe, or at least was. Love his guitar playing though that's for sure

Aquarian-Time

I mean I'm obviously going to go, just having a moan that's all

Aquarian-Time

Black Angels, White Manna and Wolf People great stuff......then I am totally underwhelmed

Not convinced I am attending unless they add some better bands in the second announcement

Aquarian-Time

Lanegan comes up trumps again. The exciting thing for me is 6 of the 10 tracks feature/were co written by the guitarist of Exit Calm. That bodes well as does this track

Aquarian-Time

This is the 2nd new one they played at Brighton last year. It's ok, sounds better when turned right up.

Aquarian-Time

Yeah it was very last minute, my mate had a spare, so he gave me the heads up on Sat night, had stacks of domestic stuff to deal with so only agreed to attend at about 4pm Sunday, so very rushed on my part. Will hopefully catch up in due course I'm sure soon. That said glad I made the effort to go.

Aquarian-Time

Also at the Night n Day for Michael Head. Agree it was top show. The key with the sound in that venue is get close, otherwise it just becomes, as you rightly point, really muffled. I was 2 from the front and the sound was great for me. His voice has really improved with age, I saw Shack twice before...
