What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (VOL V)

My normal reaction to TD, pointless noodlings, now something with a bit of bite:-

EST - Strange Place For Snow

"The council houses in London possess an aura that is easier to feel than it is to explain. Often covered in fresh tile and paint and given attractive names, they contain many of the city's former criminals, violent children and sexual deviants. I used to jog at midnight and come upon the council houses, always devoid of life from the outside, yet teeming with rotten things behind its clean façade. Every night I would return to them, both repelled and magnetized by their unnerving paradox of innocuousness and evil, letting the ghostly atmosphere of the council houses take me over in some puzzling, profound way.

Whether he knows it or not, anonymous London producer Burial makes music sound like council houses feel."

Great! I love the Modfather, and this one especially.

Inspired by the movie Fish Tank, this one was in the mail yesterday:



Mostly old stuff. G*d this is good!

Well I might play them all! I don't have that box set but I have all her albums.

I just feel in a Kate Bush mood this week - I love her quaint and intelligent music. It just feels right to me at the moment


ps - I see the box has a couple of extra discs - b sides, remixes etc. I wonder if they are worth the expense of buying that big expensive box.

Some of Nassau Point and Sly&Robbies finest.

I get like that with Kate Bush, great stuff!

A great fusion of Jazz and Rock with a dash of the experimental.

To be quite frank, I would have to listen to them again, because it's been a long while since I last heard them.

Every time I want to listen to Kate, I find myself picking an old album

I bought the box at the time because I had barely none of her albums, spare Hounds of Love. It was not particularly for the bonus.

I'll try to give them a spin and come back to you.

Yeah, nice stuff. Must have been great to be there then.

I'm a great fan of Lizzy's. I think the guys at Ze Records did a great job re-releasing all her catalogue. Zulu Rock (aka Mais où sont passées les gazelles ?) had been unavailable for far too long.
