HI Haroon,
my fav GU is Sasha in San Fransisko, i have all the GU set bar the latest one.
Have you tried any of the Nubreed series by the same label - they are worth checking out as well. andy c!

Kevin,
whats the cinematic orchestra cd like?

ta for any reply...

andy c!


It's a good record: jazzy like a mix of St Germain and Massive Attack, if that make's sense. I think I prefer The Man With The Movie Camera, which shares a few tracks with Everyday. It's completely instrumental, has a few more horns on it a wider range of moods to it. Let me know what you think if you get it.

Yeah ive got the SF too, cracking but Ibiza edges it, along with quite a few others. There were some in the sale that werent available in store Frown, but I guess I'll appreciate that more when the credit card bill is due.

Ive got sander klienenbergs nubreed, prolly will get burridges too. Im not arsed for Lawler though, couple of times ive seen him I was not that impressed, he does nothing special in prog house that other DJs on the scene cant do, and often do better IMHO.

YLT are so great and my vocabulary is so limited that I can't say enough nice things about them. That album and "And then nothing turned itself inside-out" are both phenomenal and two of my favorite albums of all time. "Painful" is a notch lower in excellence IMO. I never bought "Summer Sun" as hardcore fans seemed to brush it aside but now you have me considering it...

[EDIT following lunch: I forgot that you're a completist. Early on they were a bit messy and not so dreamy. I don't recommend venturing any earlier than "Electro-pura", and if you get the soundtrack they did (I forget the title) let us know if it's good.]

Alex,

Way to go on the ACR front - late 70's skeletal funk blossoming into fully fledged foot tappers. Those dissonant horns are still a joy to hear.

DS

OTD - Slint = Spiderland

Alex,

I have the Graveyard & the Ballroom 'Cassette in the purse' on the first time round, then on CD in the 90's and finally on vinyl in 2004!

I have stuck with ACR all through, even in their 'noodly jazz funk' plain vanilla dance music phase when they were on Rob's Records.

Bring back Simon Topping i say.

DS

OTD - Air Liquide - Liquid Air
Posted on: 25 March 2004 by Not For Me
Original released as by 'Sir Horatio'

Ludwig,

Your glowing review made me curious to read about YLT elseware and they seem just the job for me. Do you have "And then nothing turned itself inside-out" & "I can hear the heart beating as one" on Vinyl. If so, are they high on your gushometer?

A bit disappointed to read that "We're An American Band" isn't the old Grand Funk Railroad song Smile

Blue Nile "A Walk Across the Rooftops" is a classic album if you like your music sad and depressing.

I played 'Hats' - their 2nd album recently, I was feeling quite cheerful before I started...

I have them on CD (no TT here) and musically they'd be high on the gushometer if played on 8-track through a megaphone. "I Can Hear The Heart Beating As One" is near perfect, if that's possible.
