Ohh Spare Cash

Posted by: garyi on 30 January 2002

Thanks to a tidy bonus from Christmas I have a few pounds for some new music.

This week I has been mostly listening too:

Dreadzone
Nightmares on Wax
Groove Armarda
Tosca

Can anyone recommend some titles along this musical groove?

Thanks

Have you checked out this thread?

chillout thread

I accompanied a dieting (ahem) member of the Forum to a concert of theirs just before Christmas. Wonderful. My transmission lines are just made for that sort of bass and drum attack!

Which one did you get? Collect them all!

If you're after something more like Nightmares, then get Blue States is the same sort of thing and very good.

Guaranteed winner is "Kin" by Sounds From The Ground. Ambient(ish) dub that everyone I know who's bought it has loved.

P.S. Talking of that chillout thread. Darryl, where did you go?

What's the Nightmares on Wax like? Kinda K&Dish?

Cheers for the link.

I have 360 and second light by Dreadzone and you are right they f***ing rule! I have just ordered another one from Cananda but damn can't remember which.

Nightmares on wax is great stuff, when I first heard it I wasn't convinced its kind of laid back chill stuff but like 'the chemical brothers' or 'prodegy' its very hard music IMO to describe or catagorise worth 14 of your quids to check out though.

What are peoples thoughts on 'smog', a friend recommended them mabye a different kind of music, I wouldn't know as I havn't heard any of there stuff.

Gary,

You got Thievry Corporation? CD and vinyl available.

Then there's Nick beloved Shpongle which he should have mentioned.

But forget all this - just buy Ozric Tentacles!

Alex

BTW how's your dewaxing?

I have an ozuric tenticles one, can't remember the name at the moment.

Heard some fantastic music last night from a band called something brazillia, and something elephant, sorry I was pissed at the time!

Heard Chemical Brothers latest, that will be bought for the star guitar track if nothing else.

Also heard zero 7, so will buy that as well, all in all I have plenty to purchase now!

I ordered the new Chemical Brothers from CD-Wow (£8.99 inc. postage) on Sunday and it arrived Wednesday. It's great - perhaps my favourite.

Zero 7 - an enigma. Sometimes it's just the job, sometimes it seems too bland to be true!?

So what's this Brazilia thing like?

Posted on: 02 February 2002 by garyi

If i could explain them I would, this is antoher classic case of a band I should have, but never heard of.

They have about 8 albums out, a little difficult to find in smaller CD shops.

I listened too and really loved the album 'touching cloth', and can heartily recommend you take a listen.

Its kind of laid back electronica, but not in any main stream kind of way.

Thats the best I can do!

Amazon.co.uk have A Touch Of Cloth and a few others by them ay £5.99, so I've gambled on a couple!

Posted on: 05 February 2002 by Former member

I found that 'A Touch of Cloth' was definately one of their better albums (IMHO of course) although Brazillification is ok too.

Some of my other chillout faves are:

David Holmes - Lets Get Killed
Theorem - Ion
Up, Bustle & Out - One Colour...
Warren G - Regulate...G Funk Era

Cheers

P.S. Someone recomended the Philly Experiment some time ago. I've since listened to it and it sounds pretty cool. Might be worth adding to your list too.

Love both "A Touch Of Cloth" and "Old Codes New Chaos". At £5.99 each they're great bargain chill-out stuff. Thanks!

Posted on: 05 February 2002 by garyi

Glad you liked it, I will be buying touch of cloth where you got it, bloody Virgin want 14.99 an album nower days, tight wads.

Their latest one, can't remember the name right now is very good indeed, that came out yesterday. I have bought that one.

So you have an Ozric Tentacle. Now you need 7 more.

Just for fun I added 'Maim that Tune' for the title and that one with the bunny on for the cover.

But Gary, Please get Shpongle - Tales of the Inexpressible, preferably on vinyl.

Alex am working on it, we are off to the big lights of central london tomorrow, I am sure theres a thread on london record shops but I will start another one. Must have more music!

Just been suckered by buying three more FBs in HMV for £20.....

Posted on: 12 February 2002 by garyi

I found a record shop in Watford, we have lived here over a year and I never knew it was there! Spent far to much!

Next on your list if you havn't already is Wolly Mammouth, good stuff!
