This morning I grabbed a handful of James Brown discs:
Make It Funky- The Big Payback 1971-1975
Live At The Apollo, Vol II
In The Jungle Groove
Is this your way of punishing yourself for not liking the VU album?

Nick,
James Brown is excellent. You hippies were too busy with the hash and Ten Years After records to notice.
Now behave yourself.

I will never be associated with the words "Ten Years After" unless they are accompanied by one or all of: tossers, fretwank, gurning 3rd Division load of old shite. And some more I'm too irate to think of.
Bah.

Feedback - Rush, 8 classic tracks re-done. Not a great success overall, as usual the originals are still best. Crossroads,Summertime Blues,the Seeker etc. 5/10.

Nick Drake - Pink Moon
Also have 'Five Leaves Left' and 'Bryter Layter'
Wonderful albums - haven't played much else since purchasing them a short while ago.
I was 20 in 1971 - can't understand how I've only just come to know of him.

Just arrived:
Porcupine Tree - Lightbulb Sun. I really like this, I find it better than either Signify or Coma Divine.
Have also located a copy of Stupd Dream which will arrive sometime next week hopefully.

Three this week
Iron And Wine 'Our Endless Numbered Days'. A sllightly richer Bonnie Prince Billy. Pretty good if not spectacular.
Grand Drive 'The Lights In This Town Are Too Many To Count'. Mostly excellent, crisper, bit more guitar but the same big tunes. Possibly their best album yet?
Mull Historical Society 'This Is Hope'. A big ragbag of quirky pop, full of changes in mood and tempo that just about hang together. Bits of mid-era Blur in places. Lacks a real standout track perhaps.
For a while this thread was a bit more helpful and interesting because we tried to add a few lines of information or opinion about each album rather than just having a list. Can we keep it up?

I'm in a similar situation...I think what may have happened was, there was a surfeit of riches then in terms of Sensitive Young Men (or Women) With Guitars...I think he was just lost in the crowd, so to speak. His music is certainly timeless, the No. 1 quality I look for in new purchases now. Another reason I buy about a dozen new CDs a year, if I'm lucky (not counting re-releases/re-masters of old gems).
