what was the last cd you bought?

No roots-Faithless, surprisingly a good album.

My name is taken from lowest region of the world, a dank, gloomy pit, surrounded by a wall of bronze, and beyond that a three-fold layer of night; it is one of the first entities to exist in the universe; primarily the prison for defeated gods and a place of punishment for sinners-just like my sense of humour!

HMV sale stuff:-
The Best of Velvet Underground - VU
An Introduction to Capercallie why haven't I bought any thing by them before they are excellent.

Howard

My last batch:

The Cure - The Cure ; A welcome return to form, the best Cure album since I don't know when (I prefer it to Disintegration)

Soundgarden - Badmotorfinger
Echo & The Bunnymen - Porcupine & Heaven up Here
The Doors - Morrison Hotel ; These 4 are just me replacing my old vinyl copies for CD's

Faithless - No Roots : I like it - a grower.

Tool - Aenima ; Too soon to tell, but I like it so far

John Fruciante - People Cast Shadows ; Far better than anything that the Chillis have done since Mother's Milk.

ZZ Top - Mexicana ; A best-of album, pretty much what you would expect but I would have prefered more early stuff.

The last CDs I purchased were:

Orbital - One Perfect Sunrise CD1
Orbital - One Perfect Sunrise CD2

Still umming and ahhring about getting the album - the last couple have not been memorable for me.

DS

Whilst on the matter, ITC - Orbital - Diversions

AC Newman - The Slow Wonder (Looking forward to listening, following ejl's shining review and my appetite for some good sunny weather rock)

Micheal Jackson - Off The Wall

I'll grab my straightjacket...

Thru the door this morning:
Pako & Frederik - atlantic breakers (GU) for futher on this see above! This is a grower, especially if, as ag mentioned above, you are into the GU labels output!
Starsailor - Love is Here, & Silence is Easy (purchased based on the Glastenbury gig I saw on BBC3). INstant like to both of these, but Love is Here seems more accessible...

Kings of Convenience - Riot On An Empty Street. I remember playing 'Quiet is the New Loud' to a few people when it first came out and how rapidly it caught on. This new one is good, but is it as special? Probably.

Tricky - Maxinquaye How times passes when you're having fun (or working). Finally got round to buying it.

Franz Ferdinand - Franz Ferdinand So now, so maybe 'so last week' next week?

Muse - Absolution What an epic album! Top stuff!!

Steve

Algers,

Where did you buy the Breakestra? I expected that one on my doorstep but no- out of stock (at Stones Throw's partner online store).

Anyway, I have Part 2 and it's a blast!

Reissued format? What does this mean?

How much for Part 1 in GBP?

[EDIT: Does this mean some overseas reissue? I see Amazon US has the Part 2 I own, plus 1 and 2 as pricey imports.]

[EDIT 2: Wait, what I own is "Live Mix", and the two imports are "Live Mixtape". What does it all mean? ]

Disco Classics - Ministry of Sound. I had a right giggle listening to this - remined me of my teens in various miners welfare clubs leering at the laidiiieess....

Algeronimo,

That's roughly 2x the price I pay for most CDs. I appreciate your offer, but I'll pass for now. Also- please check your PTs.

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

Nick,

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

Now behave yourself.

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'
