Listening Chain Challenge

Posted by: GraemeH on 08 December 2013

 

Let's see if this works:

 

I'm listening to the album Above. The challenge is to suggest the next album you will listen to which has a link to it.  The link must be described by you and can be as obvious (eg. same artist - potentially boring) or as un-obvious (some hitherto unknown/unexpected connection - potentially interesting), or as oblique as you like.

 

Points for the most unexpected/clever/funny connections.

Herbie Flowers played bass on this. Great album by the gone but not forgotten Lou Reed.

Joerand: SKY! Yay! Total respect. Do you have an original PYE pressing of SKY2? If so, hold it up to a strong light and enjoy. 

 

John Williams, Kevin Peek, Francis Monkman, Tristan Fry and Herbie Flowers: fab combo. I saw/heard them at the 1979 Amnesty International gig at Westminster Abbey. Brilliant. Herb with a fairy lit Tuba.

Took me a bit of googling to figure this one out, G. (I still have no clue who the hell Scott Walker is).

But here's my response based on the lyrics "always gets a replay, never tilts at all"

 

... and I happen to have a very nice vinyl copy of this one .
