what was the last cd you bought?

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.

OTD - Air Liquide - Liquid Air

The addition of Abracadubra and Sommadub to 'To Each....' was a nice move.

Sommadub is especially splendid.

Original released as by 'Sir Horatio'

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.]

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

The Blue Nile A Walk Across the Rooftops.Via HMV sale. A bit unsure so far (track 2).
On second play now its getting better.

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.

No Surrender - White Power Black Magic finally turned up this week, along with a copy of

Preemo - 2 Days Unda Tha Sun

which features Steeples from No Surrender.

Tomasz Stanko Quintet, Suspended Night. Lovely chamber jazz. A lot of the reviews have it pegged as similar to Kind of Blue, but it's more comtemorary than that. Some of it feels like a close relative to EST and the trumpet has a Kenny wheeler like tone - must be the ECM studio effect.

I bought this last week and it is a beautiful record. More sparse than his previous 'the soul of things' but great nonetheless.

A great record!

Just dropped through the letterbox via E-Bay:-
The Magical Sounds of Banco de Gaia.
Track 1 playing atm.

Is that Mum their new one? Any comments? I really liked their first two records, I've heard a track or two from the new one and wasn't entirely convinced.

Nightly Cares is the single from the new album "Summer Make Good" - supposed to be released April 12th.

nick.lees at btinternet.com

Pet Shop Boys - Flamboyant
[With remixes by DJ Hell, Tomcraft]

DS

ITC - Roger Devlin - The Information

Ian - Nightly Cares doesn't do anything unexpected, it's just very Mum. However, Once in a shiny morning puddle has a strangely New Order-ish thing going on, so it's all good.

Cheers Mekon. Suppose I'm going to have to buy it...

Yo La Tengo - And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside Out

Alex: do YTL hit the spot for you? I've still no got round to the Joy Zipper cd: is it still playing or has it slipped quietly onto the shelf?

This weekend fell victim to hmv sale syndrome. Went out to get a cheap copy of Leon on dvd, came home with:

Split by the Groundhogs - a mate "borrowed" my vinyl copy 20 years ago! Great 70's rock - but I forgot that I no longer like 70's rock

Jaco Pastorious: 1st solo: awesome bass playing, lots of noodling

Elbow: Cast of Thousands: A lovely record, if a little grumpy mainstream

and then..
I'm Your Man, Leonard Cohen bloody aweful. I once heard Take This Waltz on a movie soundtrack , some adaptation of a Julian Barnes novel in french, sounded great. This, however, is dire - good songs, but horrible 80's pop arrangements.

Should've gone for the latest Tortoise, which I actually wanted to buy but left in the shop.

Don't you hate hmv sales?

I am really impressed with YLT. The two that I have are quite different - "And Nothing...." is more gentle, but both are excellent and are standing up to repeated playing.

Joyzipper is an essential purchase IMHO - it's really really good. That said, I am a My Bloody Valentine junky, and this is definitely from the same place.

I can't even go into HMV now, it scares me.

Today's choice was Sophia - People are like seasons. Which is also excellent.
