Sorry to quote myself, but I forgot to mention one thing: not the least quality of this album was to bring Lisa Germano into the spotlight.

Yes! The Lonesome Jubilee



If it says anything, MoFi re-released it in the 90's. One can not like what they do, but they rarely pick bad albums. This one is really great IMHO.

This and Scarecrow 2 of the best US heartland albums ever.

Don't pick up Scarecrow on MOFI as it is a different mix than the original release and is not regarded well by many. Me included.

Thanks, Ewen

Another excellent album from Tord. By the way he also has a female singer on this one.

Good to know, thank you.

Great debut album but fairly disappointing after that .

The best sounding version of Scarecrow in my IMHO is the original Riva US or WG pressing. The only thing is that the album is a fraction bass shy.

I have the following versions

MOFI
Japanese 1st
WG 1st
SHM- latest mastering.

Lonesome

Inspired by BigH

Tony Levin, Pieces of the Sun

CD 1

Why? I'm feeling a bit mellow but thoughful.

Yessss Howard - I just picked up this and Fly By Night on vinyl and I am enjoying myself mightily.

It was all down hill from here for this band....



In a similar vein, the magic Robyn Hitchcock



Shifted gears a bit - some classic trip hop from Bristol

Play list today is just one - triple CD


Here's a great song to sing along too and it's not the one you thought it would be

I'm a big fan if that was available on vinyl.. Used to have in our family when I was growing up the 45 of 2 little boys with Animal Pop Party on the flipside and Tie my Kangeroo Down.. Which just like the Abba stuff are lyrically very very sophisticated; interesting, and fundamentally about being human. Although can be panned pretty easily by the less-thinking...

This is by far my favorite AliaVox disc.
