The Sound of Young America - The Voices
Cardif trio making Loop/Spacemenish shoegaze.

Cheers! M

Made my day!

You know them? Really nice. Taken me an age to find their 1st album which I've just ordered.

Ha ha! I read this all wrong and was trying to think of a Cardiff band called The Sound Of Young America Yeah, The Voices are a good band alright, i too have had difficulty tracking down that album. Where'd you get it Runcible?

I've been looking for this post.... I knew it was on here somewhere. I'm putting this album out on vinyl on Drone Rock Records. Just been sent off to the pressing plant and hoping for a mid to late May release. Trying to add pics of the vinyl (1/2 clear and 1/2 black with white splatters) but saying files are too large

Yes, it is the Silver Currant one. Also, in late breaking news, VI by Papir arrived today.

[sunray]

Do you actually listen to this stuff Olan or is it some kind of collection compulsion disorder?

I received a box from Cardinal Fuzz today and I know it'll be a while before I get through it.

I've been off work since mid-February so I have plenty of chance to listen to it as I could barely move in February and March. There was a week or two where even getting up to flip a record over was not really happening. This is why downloads and streamers are a wonderful thing.

Bit better now, so hopefully will not be spending as much money (yeah, right). Even managed to go to work yesterday .

[sunray]

Ah right, makes sense. Glad to hear you're back on your feet.

Birthday vinyl has arrived...

Trimdon Grange Explosion - S/T LP (Been after this one for a while. Beautiful folk/psych)
Guaranteed Ugly - S/T LP (Took a punt on this... trashy surfy Cramps-y punk. One of the most beautiful slabs of vinyl i've seen)
The Darkside - Mayhem To Meditate EP (An old classic. Glad to have this on vinyl again)
Demadrados Soldados De Ventura (DSDV) - Clifton Park Vol.1&2 LPs (Never heard of them before but took a punt on this pair of LPs after hearing a snippet online. Reminded me of Magic Lantern - crafted chaos!)
Spiritualized/Mercury Rev - Greenpeace Split 7" (Another gap in the Spz back catalogue filled)
Lupine Howl - The Carnivorous Lunar Activities Of... LP (Another great album. Glad i found it cheap on vinyl)
Sin Music - Cloud 9/Smoke Yourself Thin 7"(Debut 7" from this band from Southend On Sea. Produced by ex-TFC drummer Brendan O'Hare... very Mogwai-esque)
Carlton Melton/Empty Shapes - Split LP (The last CM release i was looking for. Complete set of CM vinyl now).
Spacemen 3 - Perfect Prescription LP (Genius Records, purple sleeve) (The completist in me has been after this for a while. Nice to have this alternative sleeve version.)

Should do me for a wee while...

Sin Music - Cloud 9/Smoke Yourself Thin 7"(Debut 7" from this band from Southend On Sea. Produced by ex-TFC drummer Brendan O'Hare... very Mogwai-esque)

Nice to see! I'm friends with them and Brendan down in Southend On Sea and the local boozer, The Railway Hotel, that a lot of bands spring up from. This 7" was an RSD exclusive at our local store South Records so it's nice to see it getting some wider love. Check out Dark Globes as well if you haven't already. Brendan plays drums in them and Tom from Sin Music sings/plays guitar. Lot's of band cross pollination down by our seaside.

Small world!

My brother and I have known Brendan for many years but i met Tom (lovely fella) when he came up to Glasgow for the TFC shows end of last year. Tom sent my brother the audio from the 7" as a taster and he let me hear it. Was bloody brilliant. My brother had Tom send up one of the 7" for my birthday as a surprise! Pass on my regards and love for this next time you see them!

Haha, that's brilliant, small world indeed! Yeah Tom is pretty cool, very much a Teenage Fanboy. The Railway Hotel is such a great place for bands and likeminded folk. I'll mention you when I next bump into him down there.

[spzretent]

Well..... it's way more than five.

" - The Royal Scam
" - Aja
Joe Walsh- So What
" - Barnstorm
Supertramp- Crime Of The Century

Not purchased but gifted to me by Mick MacNeil the original keyboard player from Simple Minds was a tub of roughly 100 tapes of lives shows and studio outtakes, a huge lot of vinyl and a gold record for New Gold Dream. This would not have happened without the incredible help of James/Laz69 who graciously drove quite a way to pick these up, pack them up and facilate the shipping to the US. I am forever in your debt James.

That tub sounds AMAZING!

[spzretent]

I'll let you know once Parcel Force get their shit together and actually pick up this haul in Glasgow and deliver it here. This is not proving so easy.

[spzretent]

Well......all 3 parcels arrived this afternoon.
Tapes? Thought I was getting approx. 100. Nuh uh. More like 250 tapes. Early demos, rehearsals and unreleased version and songs. Quite a treasure trove.
The load of vinyl was also incredible. The numbered Australian Sister Feelings call which I have never even seen was a part of this haul. Loads of rare 12"s and LPs. Even a signed Empires & Dance Zoom UK LP.
The glass on the gold record didn't fare too well. I was going to replace the glass anyway.
A big kiss to James/Laz69 for even making this possible.

[beaker73]

Wow, what a great gift you got there. Have you thought about what you’re gonna do with the tapes? Digitize ‘m and share them perhaps? #askingforafriend
But really, just curious.

[spzretent]

I have exchanged a few emails with Jim Kerr and he was worried that may happen. I told him I would never do that. In the end he said he is fine with my having them.
What era is your "friend" after? There seems to be loads of Once Upon A Time and Street Fighting Years era stuff so far. I did come across an instrumental rehearsal version of Sparkle In The Rain which is cool. Loads of interesting instrumentals too. I have only scratched the surface. Like maybe 10%.
It's kind of weird in that if I try and listen to too much I may wind up getting really sick of Simple Minds which I don't want to happen. Having said that I am really a fan of the first 6 records. After that it is pretty hit or miss for me. Mick MacNeil left in 1992 I think. So nothing past that. I am being carefuI guess.

[beaker73]

It's the albums up to and including Sparke in the Rain for me. I do like Once upon a time, because I played it to death when I was a kid (not to mention live in the city of light)
But there is one particular thing I am curious about. I used have a Rock Palast broadcast of a pre-NGD gig that had an epic version of Room. I was pretty dissapointed when I got Empires And Dances and Room turned out to be bout minute and a half and lacking the epic chorus of the live version I knew. Would be fun to hear what the history of that song was. Did start out as the live version and did they cut it down for the album, or did it develop into how they played it live. So there's that. And I'd kill for a decent recording of that live arrangement. The one I mentioned above is on youtube but sound quality and performance are not the best (Jim's pretty off key there).

[spzretent]

You and I must have exactly the same taste. Room is one of my favorite Simple Minds songs especially off of the first 3 records. That and Pleasantly Disturbed from Life In A Day. That one is an epic long track. Both done live on the 5 X 5 tour.
I will look. I may well have that Rockpalast show as many of the "official" live recordings through radio etc. are here. If I find it it's yours. It may take quite a while especially if it is not labeled.

[beaker73]

Oh man, that would be great! Cheers!
Will give Life ain a Day a spin tonight, haven’t heard it in ages.

Any doubles in that Simple Minds tote, I love the early stuff best also.
