Majestic song. Must sound even better listening to it moving around a wild coast while the sun sets. Why isn't this kind of stuff more known ?

And, of course, Henry the Horse dances the waltz.

Happy birthday to So by Peter Gabriel, which was released 35 years ago today.
Still a fantastic album.

I suppose this answers the question what if Citizen Erazed was on The Resistancê eva You won't be able to listen yo it until your country hits midnight(or if you are a naughty boy/girl get a vpn from Australia). Eager to hear the strings in the context ir the song.

How do people here feel about Nirvana’s first album Bleach?
I’d heard bits and pieces of it over the years, mostly way back in high school, but I’ve never heard the whole thing through. So I picked up a copy from the library and gave it the car test. Listening to an album with fresh ears, in its entirety, in fitting weather, is a terrific experience. And while I’m not particularly big on grunge, I did enjoy this album more than I thought. It’s messy, gritty, sludgy, as if it were recorded in mud. But that’s the intent, it seems. And many of the songs work this way. Some like About a Girl, School, and Love Buzz I’ve always liked. Others like Blew, Swap Meet, and Downer are pretty decent. There’s some serious grungy riffing in Mr. Moustache and Downer makes a solid closer. There’s some tracks that are okay but I wouldn’t go out of my way to listen to them if I wasn’t playing the album like Paper Cuts, Sifting, Scoff, and even Floyd the Barber. But not bad either.
I like that this copy I found had a bonus live gig along with it. Live 1990 from Portland I think? Anyways it was great to hear. Kurt sounds very much like on the album, which I didn’t quite expect. I really enjoy listening to live albums nowadays. Maybe it’s because we can’t do the real thing anymore. But it was a great complement to the album.

You could get a album full of sing along rockers or deep art rock record about retired rock star hotel on the moon lol. I wouldn't be surprised if they go for a more hard rocker this time.

My brother got me The Strange Ones' 1994-2008 box set from Supergrass for Christmas. Pretty extensive on the bands career. Vinyl, CD, demo's and sessions with posters and massive booklet. What a great band they are, I think from that Britpop era growing up it was always Oasis for me but as I get older I think Supergrass have become my favourite from that time. I think the music they did has aged like a fine wine.
From the excellent debut I Should Coco, to darker follow up In It For The Money (Probably their masterpiece for me). To the overlooked albums of Self titled album, Life on Other Planets (massively underrated album), to downbeat Road To Rouen. The only album of theirs I thought was alright was their last one, Diamond Hoo Ha. Just felt they were phoning it in at that time and felt like a band spent of creativity. Gaz Coombes and Danny Goffey have done some great solo stuff.
Great band, one of my favourite singles from them is Low C. Feels like Lennon Mind Games/Walls & Bridges era song.

He's probably more famous today then he was when he was alive. To be fair Nick Drake pretty well known and highly respected, I think he's got his dues to fair . Bryter Layter is a fantastic album. If there is a artist that needs more respect it's his labelmate and mate, the hell raising late great John Martyn

I have mixed feelings towards the album It's a cool listen with some very nice songs, probably better than the last one, but unless they have an extraordinary collection of tunes like on the debut it gets a bit tiring very easily with them, and while I like the experimentation I don't think it's as far out as it could've been
This though, this is fucking brilliant:

Embrace are an odd band. First there was the somewhat overhyped and overproduced first album, and then they regained their popularity around 7 years later with a somewhat overhyped comeback album. And they're fine albums don't get me wrong, but in between that is what they should be measured against, where at the lull of their popularity they released the album Drawn From Memory.
Nothing they've ever done comes close. Embrace albums are patchy affairs at best but this unheralded album does have claim to be a legitimately great album.
The title track is just one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. I was floored by it over ten years ago when I heard it and it still stuns me. If you can overcome the twee instrumental opening, then it's pure bliss from there on.

Boilermaker is a belter too. Definitely a step up from the second album which was good but lacked the tunes of the first album. This new one is full of them, love the ending to Limbo with Daft Punk/Muse like outro excellent stuff, nice version of it here. I think they did enough experimentation not to frighten off their older fans. I think they are one of those bands that their best album will probably be a Live Album, they are awesome live band.

If you can overcome the twee instrumental opening, then it's pure bliss from there on. I think they've never come close to their debut album to be honest, which was a little overproduced as the songs were strong enough not to need the over use on strings. Youth went all Urban Hymns on it. Plus they released it maybe a year or two late, when Britpop was on the wane and it never got the huge success it deserved. They remind me a bit of Starsailor (remember them), got massive hype. Released a very good debut but it was released maybe two years to late and it got overshadowed by the Strokes and The White Stripes. After that they kind of ended up as the mid afternoon slot festival band for a few years. They released a greatest hits after just three albums. As you said had a bit of comeback with Coldplay penned song and two decent albums. They've never really done a really all time classic. I don't think Danny McNamara was the strongest vocalist. And Live they can be hit and miss for me. But they've had like two or three number 1 albums and still pull in a crowd for a live gig. Nothing really to sniff at.

And Live they can be hit and miss for me. But they've had like two or three number 1 albums and still pull in a crowd for a live gig. Nothing really to sniff at. Interesting, I've never been a big fan of their first album (kind of in the sense that I'm not a big fan of any other album apart from Drawn From Memory). I think The Good Will Out layers on the production to masquerade at times pretty average tunes. There's no doubt a handful of absolute belters on it though (All You Good Good People, the title track, Now You're Nobody), but the lighters in the air ballads seem to think they're bigger than they actually are (Weakness Is None of Your Business, Come Back To What You Know). But Drawn From Memory is less bloated and the compositions are more interesting. It's more kaleidoscopic, somewhat psychedelic at times, and interesting that its produced by Tristan Nowell and Hugo Nicolson, the former works with David Holmes (including on Who Built The Moon), and other electronic acts while the latter is used to working with the likes Primal Scream and Julian Cope. There's some of that spacey vibes going on in this record and the songs, although not anthemic, justify the production given and fulfil their potential. Certainly doesn't overreach itself or slide into cliche sentimentality. It's not a bonafide great album but I think it's their best.
